Ability to have Bay usable on each combo (or every other) if you forego active howls
- The trade-off being you have a smaller pool of available howls to bay/bellow. So it isn't just 'prone/paralysis' every damn round.
Elongated claws
- Practically no use now, before was an accuracy thing, now they're slow as snot, do less damage than retracted, and the bleed damage isn't that much more significant. (The speed is what makes it near useless)
- If this was changed to be same speed retracted or elongated, but would keep up the bleed with the reduced flat damage I might actually use it for going for a haemophilia kill. As it is, I'd rather pull of haemo and just use slashing instead.
Bodypunch/Spinalcrack
- Once comboing gets fixed, I'll rarely have a reason to use bodypunch, as spinalcrack(paralysis) does exactly what I want to accomplish(stall parry), except it also deals more targetted torso damage. At the moment there's a fractional chance of paralysis being cured before my 2nd claw attack hits(latency, whee).
Flurry
- God this skill is -amazing-, but it is too damn slow to use more than an initial opener to get a feel for parry location. I understand three attacks in one go is a lot.....*cough* tekura *cough*. It -kinda- makes up for it by having such high limb damage to where it hits, which is great, but kinda falls onto how a lot of Carnifex abilties are. They hit HARD, but are so slow to recover from, that it leaves your defense wide open, and hard to keep up pressure even still. If it got changed to do 3 limbs at something like 3.5s (versus static 4.25s with roughly 9.26% damage against hardened) with say 6% limb damage across the board (Non-hardened bones). That'd be awesome to get things built up a bit more.
- Possible change, just create flurry to be a focusable combo for x2 claw/bite. Like a tekura combo, with bite acting like a 'kick' and dealing the most damage, the subsequent 'claw attacks' dealing less damage than the straight claw combos. (Roughly 5.15% limb damage) to more akin to Tekura punches (2-3% I think? Been a while.) This would also be nicer for salivate to do a bit more when biting. Then in this way elongate/retracted claws could have more benefit (Retracted flurry smack is more limb damage, elongated dealing more bleed which would be able to stack with salivate bleed damage)
Howls
Lupines (Wolves) have belonephobia
Ursines (Bears) have anorexia.
This seems so bass ackwards, bears are the lighter equivalent and have the affliction against..living. While wolves are the darker side equivalent, and have the affliction against undead..(the anti-vampire bit seems to be a thing of the past).
Now considering the recent liaison report by @Ezalor for getting undead/living venoms in line to do the same thing, maybe howls to do the same?
-Also would be nice if the AB HOWLING was structured far more nicely, preferably a third column to actually list the affliction, instead of having to build your own help file/echoes etc to know which is which. It's a bit intimidating to new players to have to coordinate what is what.
Small point, but anorexia and belonephobia have already been merged. If you afflict someone with belonephobia, and they're living, it'll give them anorexia.
I know this is true for venoms and Mentis, but it might be worth testing for howls.

Thanks!
If it kept with the random-ness, but sped up a bit it'd be far more viable to get an overall resto build for easier multi-breaks. Hence I use it as an opener sometimes to both get a build on limbs and to determine current parry location.
As for Flurry, I swear at point it did hit parry, or maybe I'm just thinking I used it to float their parry..(that was probably it). Just making me more anxious for changes!
Pretty much answers my questions/suggestions pretty well. Oleis, you're too good to me.
Actually, using flurry that way is a good idea. Since most automatic parrying is fairly predictable, you can use it to get a baseline for where they're going to want to parry, and start predicting it, instead of starting with no knowledge of where they're parrying and going for a claw/rend/hamstring/whatever it is you're going to do.
I hope Werecroc instakill is a death roll. Just sayin'.
@Oleis-bian 4 lyfe.

Jawlock FACE of FERRIK
*wait*
*DEATHROLL FERRIK*
*channeled torrential spin in water, drowning, bruising and exhausting target.*
*Target loses 20% health every 5 seconds, endurance cut by 15% each round.*
Taken to a watery death by Saybre, Ferrik has succumbed to the death roll.
Harr harr, I see what you did there!
I'm content!
Saybre sucks though.
(He forgot the limb breaks, bruising? Ha. Do you even crocodile mate?)
One crocodile love bruh!
Edit: that might be a bit obscure.
You tube crocodile roll and listen to the painfully dated John Williamson song that should be somewhere near the top.
WORDIEST DEATHSIGHT EVAR:
Xiuhcoatl has died. You can't quite discern if he drowned or hemorrhaged to death internally. It's a 50/50, but he's for sure dead. Ferrik did it.
On that note, has anyone actually experimented with howls besides the paralysis/stupidity/anorexia round, besides Xiuhcoatl? I can definitely see the logic of it, but there's so many other options available to you. What about Baying?

Also, BB wisp shielding while prone with two broken arms is beyond lame. Fights are a draw, best case scenario.
We have lots of howl options, most of which do not do anything for our kill method at all. Push plant/slice balance... but for why....

Also, since when can Lycans Leap indoors? o.O
Edit: Actually, after testing, the rooms in question are set sunless but outdoors. Nevermind!

I like you.
^ does nothing for my audit. Does it do nothing if your skills are past a certain amount or is it a bug??
