The MCL2 charge is really nice. You can use it right after you stop casting, not like the actual RA skill where you hafta wait like 5 seconds or something. The omin-tap is nearly useless, only situation i could imagine using it in is if the enemy has 1% hp left and i keep getting interupted, using the charge to do the last hit.  Apr 15 2004

Got my Tartaro's to level 10 today, tested the level 10 charge... I'm going to unmap /use2.
There's absolutely no reason to ever use this instead of the level 5 mcl2 charge. Sad that it uses the same timer.
It's not AoE. And it's a charge. Feb 22

Its an Omni-Tap
It has the same effect as Snakecharmer, meaning...
30% Power
30% HP
30% End
Or something to that effect... But either way i'd agree, as a caster, i'd rather have an insta MCL II then hit the guy for 250 dmg and gain a little end or health so i can sprint 5 seconds before i die.   Feb 22

Strategy:

Tartaros' Gift, it drops of the High Priest siam-he in Typhon's Reach.   Nov 12
- Edaren

Tartaros' Staff - Players will no longer be able to engage High Priest Akil in a manner that denies the High Priest help from his siam-he portal priests.  (1.69 patch, Apr 14 2004)

They made the changes to Tartaros yesterday and its still possible to do with just over 1fg... best tactic we came up with was using a power ward to draw the summoned salamander agro into 4 pbaoers while 3 tanks took out Akil. Not to bad to do when you know how.  Apr 14 2004
- Catria

Tips:

My guild has done it a few times. We have a good fg ready to tank the mob. An outsider puts up a ward (we used end drain) and then he nearsighted (pull) the priest, the salamanders came out and were hit by the end field and ran away to volcanus. And we tanked the priest and killed him.  Mar 7 2004
