That Husk of myself does more damage than me.
At least its consistent, Santar and Aelios still lift more than you.
You have no tree.
Approaching the Champions' Bridge (road).
The bright sun shines down, blanketing you with its life-giving warmth. A runic totem is
planted solidly in the ground. A small blue ink lies discarded here. A small gold ink lies
discarded here. A small green ink lies discarded here. A small purple ink lies discarded
here. A small red ink lies discarded here. A small yellow ink lies discarded here. The
sound of a low growl draws attention to Gunholf, a winged wolf. A grain of quartz glints
upon the ground. There are 2 aurum flakes in 2 groups here. A flake of stannum rests on
the ground here, gleaming a dull silver. A metallic flake of ferrum rests on the ground
here, in danger of blowing away. A winged beast lurks in the shadows, its crimson eyes
glowing brightly. Looking ready for anything, a hulking war elephant stands here. A small
grey-brown rattlesnake is coiled here, rattling menacingly. Nestled into the ground is a
small chunk of potash crystal. A scorching wall of fire stands here, blocking passage to
the west. Lying here with a gaping belly wound, a mhun scout has died painfully. There are
2 kola nuts in 2 groups here. The flower of a bellwort has been dropped here. A piece of
bayberry bark is lodged here. There are 2 goldenseal roots in a group here. There are 2
bloodroot leaves in a group here. Some prickly ash bark has been left here. There are 2
ginseng roots in a group here. A bit of slippery elm lies here. There are 4 pieces of kelp
in 4 groups here. A small red hawthorn berry has been dropped here. Some irid moss has
been left here. The twisted remains of Goggo lie here.
You see exits leading north and west.
Gunholf moves out of the shadows to stand protectively next to you.

The Champions' Bridge.
The bright sun shines down, blanketing you with its life-giving warmth. A rune resembling
a horse has been sketched into the ground here (raido: return location). Lambent energy
pulses around the skeletal frame of a Naxian mistweaver. A sigil in the shape of a small,
rectangular monolith is on the ground. There are 2 Riverwall bow-maidens here. A runic
totem is planted solidly in the ground. Hung from the western column of the arch that
forms the city gates, a gilt-edged indigo scroll proudly displays the Bloodsworn decree on
innocence. Gripping a broadsword, a Shornwall defender crouches slightly in anticipation.
An attentive Duskmere brawler stands ready with his halberd, his keen eyes missing nothing.
A huge statue of the Scimitar of Yen-Sorte stands here, thrusting skywards. Seifur
Maurois is here. His face is partially concealed beneath a raised hood. He wields an
ornate steel rapier in each hand. The Black Dragon Havyn's imposing form looms. The Silver
Dragon Davio's imposing form looms.
You see exits leading north and south.

How about fixing this retarded bug that's been in the game for 6 months now? I've brought it up like 5 times via bug reports, messages to @Makarios, ACC chat. Tons of other dragons have reported having the same issue occasionally.
Gare randomly not working is a pretty serious bug, considering I just died here for absolutely no reason. Why does it take half a year to fix?
Ahem. That would be "Newthera", thank you.
Sucks Gare didn't work though. Maybe Scyernauxdyoosisnfnable closed it for the day or something.
It happened one other time during a random unhindered death tarot, but fortunately I quickly noticed that the gare failed and did "north" to get away past tentacles. No such luck this time, tried to panic move once after the failed gare.
Guess I'll have to stop using gare until they fix it, though that shouldn't have to be the case.

Re: gare.
Its not an issue with gare, its an issue with an underlying system (which makes tracking down specifically what is causing it to fail a lot harder). We found what we assumed to be the issue a couple weeks ago (and the number of reports of this happening completely stopped until this week), so we assumed it was resolved. Seems there must be some secondary much rarer situation that can cause it though, unfortunately.
Its definitely a high priority for us though.
@Eleison If hold breath isn't disabled by stun or paralysis, then keeping that up will block the garrote damage entirely (as long as you don't try to enter any commands between the backstab and garrote).
Avoidance and fitness (and other cutting and asphyxiation resistance, but not armour) will help too, if you don't have them already.
Have you tried this? I'm pretty sure you'd be insta-killing... (or if not, at least very close)
yes, most people fall down to about 200 health, but I sacrifice too much dex for something that won't always work.
That was 2 serpents though I didn't see Eloru backstab in that log. There were 2 darkshade procs, a backstab, and a garrote - you didn't appear to have sip balance nor did you eat potash so I don't see anything wrong with that. Garrote vs. Adventurer was increased with recent classleads but not to the point of being OP imo. I think garrote balance time (vs. adventurers only) was also increased quite a bit.
I'm sorry that happened to you. I know priest is supposed to be an unkillable push-F1-to-win class and it must have felt terrible you died that way. You're always welcome to submit classleads next round in order to make things even easier for you.
Woah... who are you and what on earth is with this level of aggression and rudeness about things being easier for me and insulting me? This is a game, and a forum about a game... why would respond like that? Are you ok ?
I'm not complaining about dying, I'm noting that the backstab/garrote damage seems excessive - as you can't sip or eat from it, as you are stunned until the garrote completes. As Micositu even noted it gets people to 200 health FROM FULL. That seems a bit much to me.
You're missing a long and complicated history of bitterness, nerf (insert key class mechanic/ability) tends to get that response. While @strata was modestly hostile (go read some of his other posts for serious hostility) his first paragraph had legitimate points as to why you died. Also see the post from @sena on how to manage it as well.
Forum RP is strong in Strata. He thinks we are Targossian IRL.
There's no insult there. It's stating facts. As far as I'm concerned, things are pretty well balanced. On one end of the spectrum, priests are essentially unlockable, and at the other end, a rarely-used combination of serpent moves can do hella damage. That's a fair trade-off in my opinion. The stun time is random sometimes you will become unstunned before they regain balance (usually not the case vs. a t-fang though). There is also shield tattoo if you're standing around not on a guard stack like most people. There's also Shield of Absorption which might absorb the backstab damage.
You're essentially saying you think the damage is excessive when you were already taking darkshade procs without sipping before the backstab and may or may not have been sensitive (death adder could have afflicted it and it would have been masked so long as latest classleads fixed such things).
If backstab is 1/3 max health and I have 5000h, then a backstab is going to bring me down to about 3300. That would mean a garrote is going to have to do over 3k damage in order to get me down to 200 health FROM FULL. I have a Razor Whip (L2) and 12 strength that does about 1000-1200 damage. I don't think with STR build anyone could hit the 3k damage range with 1 garrote - if that were the case, Mhaldor wouldn't have soulspears because the entire city would be Naga.
Let's try this math again with 3000h and 2 darkshade procs:
2 darkshade procs: 3000-680=2320
After backstab: 2320-(3000*.33)=1330 <-- edited because my math sucks.
1330h is pretty close to my garrote damage. So if you were sensitive or Micositu had a better whip/more strength, there's no doubt the garrote would kill.
My whip is 112dmg, my str is 15 in that Log, and my backstab does 45%.
I dont tStrata said:
I don't think @Eleison's point was that backstab garrote is dumb vs a priest. I think he meant it was dumb in general. I'm ambivalent on this issue, but it seems that Ms. Santar/Strata are getting enough kills with just backstab and sniping/garroting. I think the damage is a bit extreme, but I haven't actually been on the end of a successful backstab kill so I can't really comment.
