RUE Update 01/09/2013 05:44 PM CST
RUe has been updated to use different mechanics for how it handles its buffs. There are a few minor differences with this rewrite:

The weapon will lose its bonus if it is out of the original caster's possession.
The bonus will return within a few seconds if back in the caster's possession.
The duration is now handled by the core spell duration mechs, so this might be different. Probably longer.
The quality of the bonus has not changed.

Will it appear if you do a general perceive? Divine Armor does this now in Test (did not used to in 2.0). That would be awesome :)

I would test this but stuck at work:(

Yep, just the standard spell name and remaining duration.

This is very exciting! This spell will likely make its way into my buff rotations!

Thanks, Ricinus.

Is there any chance the timers can be tweaked a bit so that RUE stays on thrown weapons at least until BW triggers and the RUEed weapon (rude weapon!) leaps back to the caster's hand? Please see the snippet below.


> throw

< Moving strongly, you throw a steel spear at a s'sugi malchata. A s'sugi malchata fails to evade.
The spear lands a heavy (8/23) strike that ruptures the artery under the left bicep, severely stunning it.

The spear lodges itself deeply into the s'sugi malchata!
[You're bruised, slightly off balance and in superior position.]
[Roundtime 3 sec.]

R>
You feel fully rested.

>
A s'sugi malchata begins to wave its arms in a magical fashion, focusing on you!
* With inexpert timing, a s'sugi malchata lashes its jagged-edged claws at you. You barely block with a gleaming silver tower shield embossed with a set of golden scales.
[You're bruised, slightly off balance with no advantage.]
> throw
What are you trying to throw?
>
Your spear leaps back into your right hand!

>
A s'sugi malchata carefully assesses the area.
A s'sugi malchata glances around.
>
A soft silver glow fades from spear.
