I have a question about the level 34 staff style Holy Staff. On my char planner it shows that it is supposed to have a 20 sec snare effect but in the game I don't show the effect listed. Everything else is correct on it. The char planner I use is pretty accurate on all other styles that I use in game on all of my other toons. Was this an effect that was added post 1.69 or is this an error on the implementation of the style?

It is a 20 sec Slowed, not a snare which would be Hindered in Charplan. You get a snare from Counter Evade and Friar's Friend side chain opening.

I always kept it off of my bar in the old days until Friars were given more spec points and they made Holy Staff a prerequisite to Excommunicate.

Good luck with your Friar. It is the class that kept me playing Albion in the pre NF days on live.

I stand corrected, you are right. It is supposed to be "slowed" which is the combat speed decrease. After seeing that then I agree that I will probably never use it. I get that effect off the anytimer Defenders Fury which has horrible GR, but doesn't cost as much endurance.

Regardless, the style does not have its effect on the server. I also performed one on a mob to see if it had an effect and it did not list one, so it is not just a graphical bug.

Yah, I'm really enjoying the friar a lot. On my ranger I hated fighting them and thought they were so op'd, but now that I play one I realize that just like every other class in the game we have our weak spots. Kiting classes mess us up and shield classes also cause a headache. Still, a very fun class w/ lots of utility for being able to play solo or do well in small man. I had a lot of success in Thid over the last 2 weeks playing as a 2nd healer, but I realize that in hard core 8 vs 8 that would never really work well. Its my first class on Albion, and so far its been a fun experience for sure!

finally you know what is being in the right realm

holy staff had no snare or styel speed decrese to begin with when game released but after skill patch they added some issuıes on it

actualy it was a back preq styel with nothing to add and nearly using same endu as friars boon....

and for 8v8 y friar is kinda not wanted( not giving so much issues on group as albs needs all 8 slots to compete agsint other realms)

still it is fun to play a friar on 8v8
it is realy hard to play on it couse ther is none to play as one groups to show how to do it(dont look at me i am retired(semi) and i cant fraps my fights to show how to do it
most thnks that friar has to be a rej spec to play on group
it is abit correct yet you still need to dps some times agsint teh typ of enemys you facing
for caster enemys you need to split on one caster with other tanks
for hybrid you need to kite back and play healer and when see the opeing go for support(keep in mind in 30 sec you do more damge then a merc(whihc makes you a table turner at teh critic times)
and for tank setup you help paly to sanre eney tanks and ditrupt(lure) them on to you to get therg free at teh begining of the fights:)
but on small mans friar is deadly couse on same numers ore 1 mroe they give durability and healing with dps to get enemys down
still as you said it is a fun char to play with(the only good style animations on game that made me play this gmped class for 13 years)
