  • So, I'm not sure if it's crass or crude to ask, but.. aside from the price difference, why should someone buy Tripwire over Citadel?

    The pretty UI?
  • I would like to see zealot get something that makes them better than 'monks with illumination'.

    That said, I understand the whole 'fix the classes that're broken before breaking new ones.'

    I'm mostly w…
  • (Quote) That's sad news. I'd love to see a couple logs both with and without the ghast, just so I can really study why Haven felt the need to put 'must' in caps. Isn't the ghast just the odd paralysis tick and some damage? Is it ungodly…
  • Re: Haven's post: This is what Daskalos has been saying all along. That wise lets you keep the pressure up for afflicting. Which, at least for me, is my preferred attack route, as I have not looked into the limb break setup at this time. So, for -me…

  • I remember being lost and blindsided by massive walls of text as an achaean newbie, back when I first came to IRE.

    I spent six or more hours sending ooc tells to one of the novice aides in the guild I joined, and she handled my …
  • I forgot to log last night, but I had a spar with Jeromy and he was some sort of vampire (whichever one uses the ghast) and it was massive affliction overload, very quickly.

    I was really quite overwhelmed, and though I only had …
  • EMPTY BUCKET ON <person> should extinguish fumology items, provided said bucket is full of something that normally puts fires out..
  • TIL: Mirroring is scary and @Jayke kills people faster than @Saybre.
  • Varied decay rates make me a sad panda.

    When one of my vials decays, I check the whole lot, and probably chuck them, because I hate logging in to system messages about decay.
  • So, I'm having a lot of trouble getting a job out where I live - which was something we worried about when I moved here, as I'm a classic retail grunt, and this is mostly a commuter town. It's near a big city, so all it's really got are the things y…
  • (Quote) It does. I mentioned it in relation to shield, which it doesn't prioritize - which saddens me. I think the pastebin Haven offered said that it did, which is why I was using it - since the balance on angel strip is faster than ev…
  • Haven's numbers - which, for the record, are wonderful to have as reference - provided earlier state strip is 2.15 seconds as wise.

    The same numbers list evoke fire as 2.79 and dazzle as 2.58. So, for an extra 0.64 seconds, I ge…
  • He has everything.

    And lots of pipes, too.
  • @Lianca I hope she's okay. I always get a little lump in my throat when beloved pets are in a dark spot, even if they're not mine.
  • Impatience stops them from focusing away an aff - but it doesn't stop them from trying to focus, if they want. It costs mana if they try.

    Edit - I would guess that most systems would not focus at all if they're impatient, so yea…
  • (Quote) I was pondering that, too. The speed isn't really optimal, as wise, so I was thinking of dropping paralysis from my overwhelm check. That'd also help with the command to overwhelm going through before they cure it.
  • Here's a log!

    I'm still working on some things - for example, I only recently added overwhelm into my offense, since I was having trouble with my on/off toggle - so there's a couple snags on my side here, like trying to overwhel…
  • It's a random chance to get a fire or an ice, isn't it? That's what I was told when I went to get one, right after the skill was released.
  • Yeah - it becomes a matter of whittling resources, and as a Luminary, resources are.. rude.

    Only one of my three resources is replenishable in a fight, and it means I'm probably stuck smiting you to do it.

  • (Quote) I've found that by centering my character(s) in Aetolia around the grander ideals that they're associated with - Light, Undeath, Corruption, etc - that it's given me a lot of enjoyment as a player that I was lacking in my other …

  • I'm more worried about the loss of foundational lore for organizations.

    I don't know if that's as important to some people as it is to others, and, sure, we can all still say, 'Back in x, while still on Sapience [foundation]' - …

  • I threw together a thing last night that should, theoretically, help me go for sap kills as a luminary. It also works if I want to go for overwhelm instead, so I'll be testing that here and there and maybe I'll post a log or two as contribution.
  • Did I just miss the custom enter/exit artifact this time around?

    Three auctions and I don't remember seeing it, and I was sort of looking forward to trying for it.
  • Wait, they do that passively?

    And does it count towards their 'death'? The only reason I've never used my elemental outside of rp is that I don't want to have to play ylem-shard roulette to try and get another fire one.
  • (A Clan): Morrikhan says, "Are you calling me a woman-beater?!"

    (A Clan): Alistaire says, "Yes."

    (A Clan): Morrikhan says, "I mean..I'm not saying it's inaccurate..but, rude."
  • Thanks for those numbers, @Haven.

    Feel free to keep the logs coming. I'm reading some of Daskalos' now. Why do you keep chaining heatwave and sel…
  • @Daskalos - Is wise viable for those of us with fewer [read: no] artifacts? I don't know what, if any, luminary skills besides lightning are really augmented by ar…
  • They should give monks a normal parry option.

    Then tweak guard to only work if you've got all your limbs unbroken or something. Removing guard entirely would mean that getting some people prone for bbt is next to impossible, and…
  • Been recently exploring the other routes available to luminaries, since there's a slim chance I'll ever have the credits to bash people to death, and I'm finding it difficult.

    If I'm dext, for a limb route, my chastens are slowe…
