Hands off keyboard. I don't even want to live at that point.
Nothing would have helped me there, as we all know quite well, it's uncounterable. I was just hoping you'd die before you got to it. (You survived Enfeeble + double torso broken BBT, twice...)
The point of the log was the ridiculous delay from server-side curing (250ms * 3). It completely breaks combat in many similar situations.
Pre-apply would have -helped-* and rebounding* would have helped a bit too, but I was not on top of my game that fight.
But that is not the point at all. Nothing you do against vivisect is going to matter when your system is waiting almost a full second to cure vital afflictions.
*neither of these would have worked, for pre-apply he just breaks another limb, and for rebounding you just raze before you start the combo. Kai cripple would have worked, but he correctly initiated it after a combo.
I'll believe it when you post a log of you countering that exact setup, or explain it with more than "well, you might survive if you got lucky with rebounding, or he messes up his strategy, or if you get lucky and fool him with fake salve affs/illusions." These are all wishy-washy answers, not counters.
@Jovolo the kai choke was a slip-up, I should have battered, but it doesn't matter restoring at that point would just mean getting vivisected of the next DSL. If you want to talk about combat theory with me, please do it like an adult, not like a school-yard brat in a cafeteria, pointing fingers and rallying his friends with jibes and insults. I'm not always correct in my assumptions or logic, but being an egregious dick about it is totally unnecessary.
-as prep class, would've just reset own limbs off your aura
Edit:Rave: Sawbones trait as infernal. Limb counter. Self limb counter.
You shouldn't attack poor unsuspecting Mhaldorians, some of us don't die that easily, also VIGOUR is the bane of monks. My anti-monk venom combo is <3<3 and I overshot your count on 2 limbs, my first left arm prep and after you bursted my first right leg prep.
@Tirac That's a very generous offer, perhaps some other time.
On another note, my limb counter system (SLC) that I've put 100+ hours of work into is getting better and better - and is free to all as always. If I had been using it right (leaving the fight when prepped for Vicious' kill button), it would have saved me from dying to frenzy/vivisect, but correct use of limb prep warnings is on the player!

The point of the log was the ridiculous delay from server-side curing (250ms * 3). It completely breaks combat in many similar situations.
You do realise a 250ms ping time is standard for me in the UK? anything under 250ms and I'm dancing in the street.
Well, there are still options for the Infernal to take if people try that option to avoid a 3-limb vivisect. Of course, they are methods for counterplay should they be taken, and if the Infernal messes up, he completely loses any chance of a vivisect and puts himself at a slight disadvantage by the time eq comes back from restore. I imagine that most people wouldn't be able to react appropriately at present that use the standard 3-limb anti vivisect measures.
Every avoidance has a chance of exposing you to another option to kill. If the Infernal has prepped you considering this he may take advantage of that trick to hurt you in another way. That tactic again has a counter that in turn opens you to another tactic and so on and so on. Vivisect avoidance can get you rift locked out disembowled, dodging those can get you vivisected again in another way. You keep dodging till his setup is spent or he predicts your counter and uses it against you. It really is a beautiful class.
It will actually be pretty damn easy to code this into my system, thanks to SLC. (slc.percentages table and/or slc.is_prepped() can both be used to enable/disable/swap curing methods and priorities based on your limb setup).
This is the first time I've heard of this method, can't wait to implement and try it out.

This is what I'm talking about with the latency problem with server curing.
During a fight with @Vicious
https://ada-young.appspot.com/pastebin/65b64ed9
There was a 785ms delay on applying restoration to my leg. We fought twice, and it did this exact same thing both times.
well as you can see, you had a third limb prepped so restoring wouldn't really have helped you there too much
The point of the log was the ridiculous delay from server-side curing (250ms * 3). It completely breaks combat in many similar situations.
Vivisect is counterable
I think we're actually talked about the counter in this thread.
Pre-apply would have -helped-* and rebounding* would have helped a bit too, but I was not on top of my game that fight.
But that is not the point at all. Nothing you do against vivisect is going to matter when your system is waiting almost a full second to cure vital afflictions.
*neither of these would have worked, for pre-apply he just breaks another limb, and for rebounding you just raze before you start the combo. Kai cripple would have worked, but he correctly initiated it after a combo.
No.
>KaiChokes instead of restoring
>Vivisect uncounterable
I'll believe it when you post a log of you countering that exact setup, or explain it with more than "well, you might survive if you got lucky with rebounding, or he messes up his strategy, or if you get lucky and fool him with fake salve affs/illusions." These are all wishy-washy answers, not counters.
@Jovolo the kai choke was a slip-up, I should have battered, but it doesn't matter restoring at that point would just mean getting vivisected of the next DSL. If you want to talk about combat theory with me, please do it like an adult, not like a school-yard brat in a cafeteria, pointing fingers and rallying his friends with jibes and insults. I'm not always correct in my assumptions or logic, but being an egregious dick about it is totally unnecessary.
Excuse me, do you have a moment to talk about TLC, the Tirac Limb Counter?
It can teach you how to survive, for 50 credits. Too bad you didn't have it in this situation!
But seriously just do a damn search for Vivisect in here. It has been described in detail over and over.

@Tirac That's a very generous offer, perhaps some other time.
On another note, my limb counter system (SLC) that I've put 100+ hours of work into is getting better and better - and is free to all as always. If I had been using it right (leaving the fight when prepped for Vicious' kill button), it would have saved me from dying to frenzy/vivisect, but correct use of limb prep warnings is on the player!
Or just do exactly what Cooper just did. Don't apply restoration off eq from restore.
You do realise a 250ms ping time is standard for me in the UK? anything under 250ms and I'm dancing in the street.
At that point you apply restoration/reconstructive and use restore as necessary.
Only apply restoration when you have EQ to restore to save you during the off salve balance period.
Alternatively: Join Mhaldor
Frenzy for 1.6s dsls. Break leg with delph/delph, resto break both arms while they are pausing resto cures. Add in riftlock venoms.
Well, there are still options for the Infernal to take if people try that option to avoid a 3-limb vivisect. Of course, they are methods for counterplay should they be taken, and if the Infernal messes up, he completely loses any chance of a vivisect and puts himself at a slight disadvantage by the time eq comes back from restore. I imagine that most people wouldn't be able to react appropriately at present that use the standard 3-limb anti vivisect measures.
It will actually be pretty damn easy to code this into my system, thanks to SLC. (slc.percentages table and/or slc.is_prepped() can both be used to enable/disable/swap curing methods and priorities based on your limb setup).
This is the first time I've heard of this method, can't wait to implement and try it out.
