Flaming Sword of Xuzl  

Tested this on Agnarr, (65 level max) on a wavecrasher in Paw. They self-heal so if only the tank engages this mob can be up a long time.

Three wizards in group and they all cast this once tank got aggro. These pets die instantly if they get aggro otherwise they appear to last forever.

Over the course of the fight the three swords did 5025, 4269 and 3819 points of damage. One wizard is max aa and the other two only have around 50 so this may account for the differences.

Max hit was between 70-90.

Average hit 52-54.

DPS was 16-20.

For 250 mana, obviously a very efficient spell... IF the fight lasts this long. Which normally would only be boss and mini-boss fights. I dragged this one out. In a typical Paw fight, the mana efficiency would be inferior to a wizard just casting a regular nuke. This is effectively a dot so you can pile it onto nukes. But I rarely dot in Paw since mobs die too fast for anything but a mana-free clicky dot to be efficient and, even then, given the cast time of most clickies, it's still not worth it (unless out of mana) since you can use that cast time for a real nuke.

Get the clicky from Vex Thal and this really gets effective. But I've never seen that drop of many VT raids.*

*On reconsideration, that has a 10s cast time. The spell is close to instant. Unless wizzy is OOM, the clicky isn't worth the effort or the dkp, I think.,

From what I gather this sounds like the best pet a wizard gets, as far as helping with MOB.Rather then just flapping there looking cool....

Ok guys, ya know I have not really said much here in the posts. Finally I have to say something about this spell. I mean it sounds really cool and all, but what is up? I mean did they run out of ideas for places for spells to drop? Old Seb, and Skyfire. What happend did someone at a Sony board meeting say hey I really don't like Wizzy's so lets really put the screws to them. Its not only this spell but is the whole set of spells at 59th level. I mean ONE of these is not research or drop. Those that are drop are so freaking rare you might as well be trying to get your epic. I personaly think that the whole list of spells of this level HURLS! I have not really seen anything that would do over 1k yet listed, up till now. I know that there are items and AA's to boos this number but PLEASE even invert Gravity sux. I mean I felt like turning my nukes on myslef right about the time I saw the spell list for this level and telling Sony where they could go and how to amuse them self on the way there. I love playing my wizzy but I am SICK of seeing them get the shaft! How many other spell casting classes have pets, and we get this stupid familar that follows us around and annoys us all so bad we have to tell it to go away every time we zone. Its pathetic! All I ask for is fair treatment and I really don't think we are getting it with this spell or this level. Give me a break, as well they cram research down your freaking throat, and you do the combines till your blue in the face, and you get a spell like this that you can't even research. WHAT IS UP? I guess the joke is on me then. Bleh, some thing to the effect of take this game and shove it comes to mind to be honest. Ok I am sorry for the flaming for those of you who had to endure this but I really had to get it off my chest. Thank you for your support. $ony GIVE US A BREAK please!!!

This thing is great for solo kiting. Cast Atol's, then hit what ever mob with a nuke to make sure you have good aggro. Then cast Xuzl! The Sword doesn't get aggro and will keep hitting the mob forever or until Mr. Mobbie dies. Just keep the mob snared. When the mob gets to low hit points just sit and med, and watch you buddy kick the mob's **** for 35 to 73 HPs a smack! If you root the mob, Sword of Xuzl gets aggro and is dead ASAP BTW.

Enjoy

I LOVE this spell!!

Tell your pet to go away so you can keep the buffs given by Flappy, and then cast this spell on mobs and sit back.

Often in LDON groups I cast this spell on the mob as soon as the tank engages, then I simply med up for a finishing nuke if I am low on mana, or scout with my EYE. You're not gonna be the hero of the day , but it's definately extra damage and the Only DOT spell we wizards have.

I bought the spell a couple weeks ago and it is still bugged. I made my bug report, talked to a GM and he made a report, or so ehe said. still not working

he most useful in a battle with mob that have alot of hp. u really cant use him for soloing because he taunts aggro onto himself. but in a good group and if u use him right hell last till the end of the fite. mostly use him on mobs that have around 10k+ hp other wise hes nto to useful. he has about maybe 150hp and he hits for around 40 i think.
