I haven't played a maran before, so not sure if this is implemented already.

Cry of the phoenix = instant easy gank. I've been on the receiving end numerous times.

Why not put a time counter on it? It's still strong, but that way, people have to be more tactful in using it (ie cry to a buddy or cry to defend the tara'bal when it's anticipated that there would be a raid)?

The skill is called cry of deliverance

Sorry. Just cracked me up a lot It's not nearly as easy as you think it is as well.

Basically, it costs a high enough amount of mana that you can't assume you're friend is fighting and just spam it often. So, it requires you to have a good communication with your ally.

Usually this is done via CB or with the group command when the parties involved are in the same group. You can also cry to the outer and inner, though I've had lots of frustration with doing that and failing in the past (maybe I had the syntax wrong?).

It has the same restrictions as gate. Can't cry across continents or into cursed areas.

Seeing as how there are never more than about 10-12 people with this power at one time, I'm fine with it. I'd rather have despoil but that's just me

Is that it ALREADY has the timer knac suggested on it. After you cry to the inner, outer, or another maran, there is a time limit before cry can be used to get to them again- you cannot cry to the target or the cry'er for a few hours after the first cry is successful.

So yeah, Knac, that's such a great suggestion they went back to the past and implemented it years ago~
