Don't die with only a mod rod on your corpse

[Jullious]

I can wrap things up by saying the GMs gave me my exp back.

They looked at my exp before I began the raid, and after, and gave me back the difference.

I guess some might point out I lost the exp I earned on the raid but, given the alternatives, I don't care. I'm happy and that's all that matters.

BTW, no more binding Jules outside of the zones we battle in. I've bound Jules in PoK by the dwarf who gives out charms and request a new one every time. Now my corpse won't be 'empty' or '= to empty since it only has a mod rod'.

What a stupid rule. If only the 'mod rod only = empty corpse' rule lasted 3 hours and not 10 min. What a PITA to have to bind by the charm dwarf.

Julls - that is an excellant idea. On long CRs I used to summon a "halo of light" with Zig. Do chanters get any summon spells?

Zigg, tip for ya pet kiters. ae the group to below 80, or shaman dot whatever. Don't let anyone who should not have aggro touch the mob before it is under 80 percent. Once under 80 set whatever you want on the mob or mobs they won't pay attention. Speaking as only a chanter/wizard pet would know. Ask Gryf what he uses to create aggro when we kite that way, might have some more tips.

Enchanters get two summon spells.

#1 is my animation. Which does me no good in this situation. Nor can I cast it naked as I need tiny daggers.

#2 is /w all magican followed by /tell /beg. But that's how I got in trouble. Apparently, empty corpes are fine. They last for 3 hours. It's the empty save for a mod rod corpses that are on some sort of 10 min timer.

I could go with the all empty corpse as Bon demonstrates that empty corpses don't poof after only 10 min either. Apparently, only corpses with only a mod rod on them poof. But a truly empty corpse just give me the heebe jeebes.

You see, one reason I always liked having a mod rod on me is so I wouldn't ever accidently loot my empty corpse. The charms are lore also, so that helps me never to fully loot without a rez.

I suppose as long as a corpse had other summond stuff also, like a fist like Blackcastle demonstrated, then it could have a mod rod also but frankly, I'm not 100% sure.

I'd do some testing (with a cleric there to rez me) and see what the timers said on different combos, but they could (and should) change this in the next patch (if they didn't change it already). So I don't see a lot of bang for my buck here.
