These are very expensive and I am wondering if they are worth having.. I am starting to get pages as drops and can't decide if I should mess with the veno 79 skills or save them for my cleric.. I am a LA - level 94 Veno that runs frost a fair bit and just started on rebirth delta... also do TW

    I second that, Fox Form myriad rainbow is amazing in situations where you are killing a lot of mobs at once, especially frost and rebirth.

    i think the way it works is you have a 20% (im not sure about this percentage) chance to effect all enemies in a 15m area with 100% phys def reduction, 100% mag def reduction, 4500hp bleed over 9 seconds or 4500hp poison over 9 seconds.

    catch the phys def debuffed mobs in a BM, archer, or strong barb aoe, and they will drop really fast.

    catch the mag debuffed mobs in a clerics tempest, wizzie's dragons breath, or veno's noxious or parasitic, and they drop.

    the debuff chance is random, but a single mob can be effected by all 4 effects at the same time.

    its a huge help in frost and rebirth, and well worth the investment. human form myriad is much less useful, because of the high cost, but if you got extra money to buy it, its a nice chance at a huge damage spike if you have extra mana and need to keep your distance.

    Myriad eats a lot of MP, so it's best for Rebirth where there is no issue with MP. Mind break will last for about a mere 2-3 hits (depending on channeling / response time), so it's not very practical for grinding. When a cleric is BB'ing often, it becomes more practical but even a 95+ pure mag with decent -%ch can be halted by Soul Transfusion's cooldown time vs MP drain.

    Feral Concentration can be nice especially combined with Fortify or Abosolute Domain, though I very rarely use it in PvE.

    I don't think any of them are worth rushing to get unless doing Rebirth. I'd recommend at that level to focus on getting a decent pet arsenal before pet leveling becomes an even greater burden.

    Another place they're good for is if you're spam healing your pet. Since they're instant cast, you can squeeze it between heals even if you don't have time to cast a regular spell between heals. Usually you'll get at least a DoT to land, and 9k damage to speed up the process is always nice. And when the armor break lands your pet will get a nice boost in damage. Be ready to toss on Extreme Poison when that happens to maximize the effectiveness of the armor break.

    The only problem is how quickly it chews through your mana.

    i got both myriads,but i prefer using fox form cuz its aoe.
    i think u should get it,if u can spare the money,its true it dont work 100% of time,but it does work most of time..
    i love it when i see all possible debuffs at once b:dirty
    u should get feral too,its really good skill and 2nd life saver skill.
    good thing about feral- need only 1 spark comparing to hood
    bad thing- u need to use antistun pots or something b4 u cast the skill b:surrender

    Yeah - myriad is chewing my mana. But if you can use both forms on bosses (I'm dropping to fox to amp anyway) it really adds up.

    The other one seems utterly useless to me, without comboing it with a genie. I'll probably pick it up eventually.

    I use all 3 skills...myriad human when I don't want to target other mobs, plus if I use myriad fox as well I'll sometimes get additional debuffs etc...feral it's saved my butt when I haven't had 2 sparks up to use bramble hood (ie if I've nova'd and ended up criting when combined with an amp, myriad fox form, glacial spike (I think that's the name), and HF, I've gotten aggro...good thing my BM buddy is used to this ROFL) But then it's all about timing...
