Curious L24 Necro Spell Duplication

[elvish123]

L24 necro spells breath of the dead and corpse breath are the exact same type of spell and both are self only. Just curious if this was an oversight since buying 2 spells that do the same thing is kind of redundent. I tested both of these spells and found no dif in mana cost or function so I wrote it off as a hickup in the cosmic fabric of the SOD universe with no impact on game. Just thought I would mention it since I have not yet encountered duplicate spells of this nature with any of the other classes I play. Great spells btw if you ever want to swim the underwater tunnel in Lake Starfall underneath the portal island.

Corpse Breath uses no component but is self only.

Breath of the Dead is probably bugged then, as it is also self only but still requires a component.

 

[Wiz]

Point.

Wouldnt necessarily call it an SoD specific bug since i recall having this exact same conversation with a few other necros on live. Granted im not sure what (if anything) is altered for SoD. Though it appears on live they removed corpse breath from the necro spell line and made it an item clicky effect. At least that what i got out of the lucy spell list.

I remember only having Breath of the Dead on Live, too.
