Talk:Bloodstained armor

Item Bugged
I heard this item was bugged and one only sees the benefits if they're under Arcane Conundrum or something. Is this correct?

It would be useful to know how much casting time is decreased. Is it a fixed amount (like 1 second) or a percentage? --JoDiamonds 16:45, 23 October 2005 (EST)


 * Well, the language here is different from items that "Improve casting speed" those will cut the casting time in half, but since this has different wording, it is probably a different way. --Karlos 19:03, 23 October 2005 (EST)

Can someone please verify this note by an anonymous user:

These boots do not currently give you the faster casting bonus (a bug that needs fixing).

Item Fixed?
The Guild Wars team seems to have fixed the boots. The new full text of the item description reads: "Casting speeds of spells that target corpses are decreased by 25%. (Minium: 1/4 Second)". In my testing I have found this to be true --ShichiNoBushi
 * na, they're as fixed as knight's armour !_! 02:34, 18 February 2006 (CST)
 * The March 9th update has one of its items "Restored the functionality of Bloodstained Boots." Anyone had a chance to test this? --Barek 14:34, 10 March 2006 (CST)
 * It does appear that the minion spells that I use are faster.-- thecount 07:10, 10 March 2006 (PST)
 * Does this just apply to corpse exploitation spells, or does it apply to other corpse-targetting spells like Restore Life and Vengeance? -- Gordon Ecker 09:35, 14 March 2006 (CST)
 * Very good question, have to try this asap :-) --Si Tacuisses 17:05, 14 March 2006 (CST)

Appearance
It has the look of normal no modifer necormancer armor's boots from the armorer.
