Really, logically and literally, as it is singular; "truename"

Not truenames. -- I think it would make a lot more sense if only one truename per person could be stored at a time. I can only have five mind prints at a time before I have to forget some to make new ones, and that doesn't even let me unleash a telepathic attack that cuts half health and stuns with aeon. If enfeeble could kill then truename would have a counterpart.

Perhaps you should not tumble into Eleusis when someone is fighting you, then.

Truename is a mostly irrelevant skill. It does not need to be changed. Anything except artied Grook truenames does negliglibe damage and all you have to do is cure the aeon.

You, of all people, a monk, should not be complaining about this.

Your worst case scenario if a monk truenames you is "Smoke elm", pause 1.5 seconds, "kai heal".

Also, perhaps you should have had the decency to die when I warped you so I didn't need to waste more truenames.

Omg, my truename only did 1.6k. That's underpowered.

While truename got a serious nerf a loooong time ago, it's still a pretty great skill. I really never figured out why you could have unlimited truenames on unlimited amounts of people. Compared to soulspear (which you also take from a corpse, but destroy the corpse so you can't offer), a soulspear only last 5 or 6 days or so, while it's not even half as good as truename, while being at pretty much exactly the same level in necromancy as truename is in occultism.

While I'm all for difference in abilities (especially between two skills that's so similar, occultism and necromancy), but I think truename should either be limited to a certain amount of people that you can have truename on, OR limited to 1 truename per person.

-Firey-

Truename is not powerful enough to warrant this. Unless you can't cure aeon, you shouldn't die to it. Unless it is, as Santar said, an artied Grook.

If Dakeyras had done anything in that log, he would not have died.

EDIT: Lol. Truename stuns? This is news to me.

1.7k really, which is 200 damage less than half my health. So really, half my health + instant aeon. And you can fire them off one after the other, nothing barring it, and it gives instant aeon, stripping any speed defence in the way. But then, I did just fight you toe to toe for 20 minutes while you were in dragon form. I guess that made you resort to this.

Thinking about the hilarity of never fading soulspears is pretty hilarious. Team Blue/Green's whining wouuld reach newly epic levels.

Do it.

Well, you do have to get a truename off the corpse, and you can't get a truename off a corpse if truename was used.

Well I'm not going to argue back and forth with this dweeb. Hopefully administration will look into the issue of unlimited truenames.


Precisely why they run to grab corpses when you die bashing. You think Gorlasintan earned those truenames? -scoffage-

Also, Firey, the way soulspear is different from truename is that soulspear works on anyone.

Truename can only be used on the person's corpse it was, so it's that person's fault, and they can only be hit by truenames that are gained by them. This makes truename's somewhat of a sacred utility, just as soulspears are made a sacred utility by their decay time, rather than being something you can stack up for a rainy day and then use on anyone you want.

I am too lazy to run for corpses.

I got the truenames during such wonderful times as you attempting (and failing to) dbomb a group of 5 Mhaldorians defending a shrine, etc.

"Earned" has loose meaning. I'm sure he thinks he earned them. He had to, at the least, have cognitive brain function and type in "Truename Corpse". Also, he had to use karma to get the truename.

I'm ashamed to admit that I agree with Santar. Soulspear/Truename are not really comparable at all. This topic has been brought up numerous times and has been ignored numerous times. (However, I'm a bit disappointed with Gorlasintan needing to use 5 truenames to kill -Dakeyras-)

Edit: Also - Really, logically and literally, as it is singular; "truename" - this is a horrible argument.

I am a terrible occultist, and I do not fight 1v1 as occie.

One-two shot, bam, you can tank Occies. Transmute and moss would have won you this fight. At least run him out of Truenames and sent him running back to Mhaldor.

Shouldn't post a log of dying to Gorlasintan 1v1

Also, what is the deal with aeon? I mean, the skill SLOWS YOU DOWN and it's nearly impossible to cure. Please delete aeon. And hangedman. Also, Universe tarot is OP. Delete transmogrify. Why do the admin allow people to abuse quicken? Gremlin is insane and impossible to kill. Honestly, let's just nerf anything that doesn't die instantly to Dakeyras headbutting his SDK, UCP, UCP macro.

Do want. Non-decay soulspears would be my best friends. Alternatively, let me customize resetting soulspears.

Edit: Removing excess words.

How do you die to truename on it's own?

It's Dakeyras

The word 'it's' is not the same as 'its'. Normally I don't rant about grammar but I've seen this too many times today.

Most people put an apostrophe there because it looks possessive.

I actually have no idea why there isn't an apostrophe there. I was putting them there like that up until the time that I took a college writing course, and had to correct myself. I don't know why it's done that way, but I do it that way anyways, now.

I think it's because of contractions and the fact pronouns have plural variants. Because pronouns have different words for plural (it, he, she vs. they), there is no confusion between plural and possessive pronouns, and thus no need for an apostrophe between a pronoun and the "s" to indicate possessiveness. Since many contractions end in "is" and the "i" is dropped, an apostrophe is most convenient to separate the two words.

I don't know if that's why, but I've always assumed so.

lol, ignored and derailed.

Dakeyras - 0.

Occultists - 1.

also, @Dakeyras, the truename did 1599 damage, so 1.6k, not 1.7. lurn 2 math

2292 - 639 = 1653. If you were to round that up it would be 1.7k. Since it's 53 and tips the scale over half way naturally you round up in mathetmatics. But we could just be exact and say it did 1653 damage. Two would kill me, but thanks to vitality and numbness I forced Gorlasintan to empty his entire store on me. I wasn't ready to fight at the moment I was jumped, had I been I'd have reacted better. But I was purely trying to regain composure and be free of aeon and he just kept hammering the truenames on thick. The majority of you hurling turds on here would have died much quicker.

You did?

Please don't boast about how many truenames you've farmed during raids and from snatching bashing corpses. It's sad enough that you were insecure enough to rely purely on a constant flow of truenames to manage to kill me as is. If you feel like boasting, maybe boast about how you managed to stay alive against me for twenty minutes toe to toe while you were in dragon form.

Congrats, you can survive against a dragon.

Protip: Any tri-trans monk should never die to a dragon. Ever.

EDIT: I have never 'snatched bashing corpses' to obtain truenames, either.

EDIT 2: Your axk does 25% my max health.

For some reason, the thought of Dakeryas jack-potting out deaths on a regular, consistent basis doesn't really surprise me; however I do find it amusing.

Consider it like the 'his' and 'hers' of genderless things.

I stand corrected

Use punctuation, you blithering fool!

yessir

I am Not a Knight.

And in the 8 second balance that axk takes, you can sip and moss how much?

axk does not do 25% my health.

lol dakeyras is telling other ppl they are insecure

I will vouch for this. When they killed me in Moghedu (with no cause, I was just there to see why everyone was dying to mhuns and I got jumped ), he only decapitated he did not take the truename. I have never had a truename taken to my knowledge, and I die while bashing a -lot-.

I was telling him is axk is crap, not that it's great.

Monk vs dragon is terrible, but monk has -slight- advantage.

A unartied dragon will never die to an unartied monk 1v1. An unartied dragon will probably not die to an artied monk, but it is possible.

For instance, Cain has lvl 3 int arties and lvl 2 gauntlets/knuckles. I fight him 1v1 and no matter how hard he tries he cannot kill me. If I were the artied monk and he was the unartied dragon, however, I would kill him in about 45 seconds.

This is not a true statement. It depends on the Dragon. It's true that most traditional damaging tactics will not work, but advanced tactics will require the Dragon to do evasive manuevers, especially if the Monk is Rajamalan or Troll.

I am willing to bet that a good Rajamalan monk would be able to kill most vadinub dragons within a small time frame, while incurring virtually no risk upon themself unless the dragon is very skilled.

A tekura only monk against an unartied Dragon with a standardized system will likely never die to simply the tekura, excluding the 4 bbt rule, however.

Also, Cooper, you are not unartied. You have multiple arties.

I don't think you are right. I could go afk with Vadi's on against an unartied Raja monk and come back alive 5 minutes later. Same with a troll. 4 bbt is also impossible unless you are a Raja, and even then if you get 4 bbts in on someone they would have died to straight combos on the ground anyway.

That's not true, some people can tank straight combos for that long, but 4 bbt rule would kill.

Also, I'm willing to test the Raja monk unartied can't kill dragon monk unartied if the dragon monk just stands there with vadi thing.

I'll test it right now, actually, if you want. You'll take off your arties, and I'll grab a decent Monk to kill you.

And then...still, no one will care. Blah blah blah blah blah.

Exactly what artefacts do I have that helps with monk damage, Santar?

You have, at the least, a level 2 bracelet.
