I'm not even sure what to say to you other than really, take a step back and learn how aff combat works. Once you learn why people go for herb stacks rather than smoke/salve ones and why it's a terrible decision to try to mix them without a lock com…
If you slash slickness without asthma stuck all you accomplish is wasting your afflictions as it gets cured instantly. But you are right, I am indeed wasting my time talking combat with someone who thinks opening slickness disfigurement is a great s…
You realize indifference is cured by a salve right, which means you won't ever stick it without slickness, which you won't ever stick without asthma, which oh hey that's a venom lock, which oh hey you can't do that with Mentis.
Lock isn't a feasible tactic on Bloodborn unless Bloodmeld is running. Luckily that does nothing vs Monks. The dominant aff strategy is to load em up with 10+ affs and Mindburrow.
Transmute doesn't actually use bal/eq at all. With the nerfed mana costs Transmute probably makes Monks one of the most effectively tanky classes there is. It's still iffy when fighting against a Bloodborn or Luminary though.
Oh I'm not referring to you at all (or anyone in particular), just framing it as to why Draiman started this forum rampage. Treat it as a hypothetical! I rephrased it to be a little less harsh, definitely didn't mean to offend or target anyone with …
To respond to some of the stuff in this thread, most of the people "not seeing" why it's a bad thing haven't gone through the work of building a system. You pour time and effort towards creating something only to see random people buy someone else's…
Indeed, with L3 clarity you can keep yourself safe basically "trading" one 4.4s guess restoration application for one 4s eq blackout on your vital limbs. I don't think it's worth using Blackout against a L3 clarity user as you're slowing your offens…
I agree with Ilyon in that nerfing the artifact itself wasn't the bigger problem, but rather that some individual skills are problematic, namely Mind Blackout. It got triple buffed in the last liaison round (attacks don't show up AT ALL in blackout …
The whole vampire shtick is to be all elitist and racist. While it doesn't necessarily have to be an abusive relationship, vampires view living as an entirely different, inferior species; at most the relationship might become akin to one with a fond…
Actually during the time that Moirean mentioned, when Spines and BL were split, Duiran was way stronger than Bloodloch. They could have easily taken Bloodloch 1v1 and every lesser was a 2v1v1, so yeah, that's not a real reason either.
Shrine energy and blessing energy are different though, Divine definitely don't have quite as unlimited a pool to bless with as they have shrine energy.
Haha I remember @Ison using Lyre in the Year 400 Survivor events. The admin totally trolled him by letting it fly and having the mobs ignore him for 90% of the event. T…
