Short COMBAT Questions

Xiuhcoatl

You're referring to charge or pounce. 

Ishin

No, I'm referring to barreling. But it's okay Xiuh, Valingar chatted with me about it and we worked out where my confusion was. Thanks for nothing

>_> While we're in memory lane, anyone remember what black biles did?

Passive afflictions.

Toz

Where's that 'What do you want in gmcp?' thread? I can't find it...can you access sandstorm size with gmcp or no?

...And on a related note, howtf do you get rid of one once you summon it?

@Toz: It is in the Idea section. Have a link!

No it's not ok. Do you know what took down Rome and Carthage? One mistake!

Jensen

I woulda said centuries of corruption and political infighting, but yeah

Toz

They used lead in their plumbing too. Every generation of Romans had more birth defects and a lower IQ, theoretically.

Setne

Rome sucked anyways.

Moirean

Completely tangential, but if you like Roman history, this speculative history book is absolutely amazing: Roma Eterna, by the brilliant Robert Silverberg

Toz

So what is the point of wolf rupture, exactly? Testing it out with @Kelliara, it actually does 200 damage (and like 50 bleed) less damage than just straight-up ripping them.

Saybre

Glad someone got a chance to test it, I had that on my to do list. If anything, it's probably just flavor, I had hoped it did a crazy high amount of bleed, so if you had SpleenRip done, you could theoretically wreck them, but since Groin is the easiest to pull off anyway, would be better to just repeat groin like old school Arbre.

Ishin

...what the EFF is this?

abduct daskalos
You cannot seem to penetrate their defences.

Target might be shielded... or there is an artifact that also blocks abduct that I'm not aware of.

But yeah, some time ago, abduct was changed to not be able to snatch shielded targets. Don't know if that is the failure message for it though.

Jensen

There was an arti auction for that I think.  Gives a def so you cant get abducted

Ishin

So now they're selling effing artifacts that fully negate my trans skill?

r u srs?

Jensen

It is a one instance item, there's no others

Ishin

I find the fact that it exists at all is disgusting.

/grumpysickIsh

Daskalos

It cost me a lot if that helps?

At first glance, this barrel would appear to be nothing but your typical oak wine barrel. Yet closer inspection would reveal the barrel contains neither lid nor base, allowing one to slip it over themselves. Two straps attached to the sides of the barrel support this idea, allowing one to comfortably support the barrel with their shoulders.
It is an Ankyrean artifact, enchanted with the following powers:
inviolability
It can be worn.
It is strangely weightless.
It bears the distinctive mark of Daskalos Qefin.

Lin

Haha Dask's sig works so well.

Ishin

It cost me a lot to get to trans Subterfuge too, @Daskalos

I'm not really mad at YOU, bro, just...more that someone thought it'd be a cool idea to begin with.

Xiuhcoatl

Ishin are you imagining something like this?

Ishin

Yeah that pretty much sums up my feelings to the T, @Xiuhcoatl.

Daskalos

Syssin isn't a terrible class.... at all.

Toz

No, it's not - but if they plan to keep selling artifacts that negate classes, I nominate a mentis-blocking sunglasses/earplug combo next.

Ishin

I'm with you, @Toz. Or I'd like an augmentation I can put on my boots so that I can dodge Luminary shield attacks as if they were regular physical, melee attacks. Or I'll take clumsiness affecting them too. That'd work nicely as well.

Haven

C'mon... All it does is prevents abduction. Annoying but by no means breaks the class. Same thing with the force artifact and... I'm pretty sure there's another artifact skill blocker out there too.

Daskalos

There's been multiple artifacts sold that block force, and those are just as annoying. Kerryn's got a monolith-entire-area artifact that can really put a damper on attacks.

Toz

My point is not that 'amg they nerfed syssin stupid hard with this ' - it's that, c'mon. Stop selling artifacts that have impacts on combat balance. Unable to be proned in a team fight is a Teradrim-only skill...unless you had the cash lying around to win that arti auction. And I'm not mad at the people who buy them either - it's just getting too close to 'pay2win' for my liking.

Ishin

So moving on, what stats modify archery damage? Is it dex or did they change it to str, or is archery dmg flat depending upon bow stats?
