I feel like there are some misconceptions about hypno. Yeah, it sucks that it can RNG fail on you, but there's NO reason you should ever just stand there and take your opponent's offense the entire time you hypno.
A top tier serpent will generally shield or evade. You could dstab hinder afflictions, but shield/evade are probably better. Your focus should be to complete the hypnosis with your opponent making as little progress as possible.
Unless hypnosis has changed way more than I know and you can't shield/evade while waiting for hypno to work anymore. Serpent can easily make it so any momentum class, at the very least, has no progress when the serpent begins real offense (with hypno ready). That's how the class fights.
It's a slippery/sneaky class, not a "I will stand and tank whatever you throw at me, so bring it!" type class.
You take out some salve and quickly rub it on your skin. Your body grows extremely dense and heavy as the mass salve infuses your skin. You remove a shackle of Garash. You are much too heavy to sprint or dash anywhere.
You are much too heavy to sprint or dash anywhere.
Shackle functions like mass now? Like I have to wait for it to fade even after removing shackle? Seriously it shouldn't behave this way, new bug or what?
Yes, new bug following the artefact powers change. Good to know it's at least re-applying the defence when you wear it now, though not removing it immediately is a huge hit to the functionality. Was hoping it wouldn't take quite this long to get it fixed properly, they're usually pretty good at fixing bugs with the stuff that's just been implemented.

Ah, understood, at least it won't freak me out now.
Oh, according to my messages (which I just checked on the website), as of 15:57 GMT (so about an hour ago) this is supposedly fixed and should "Be live momentarily."

Yeah, that'd be my falt. I somehow missed your bug, only noticed it when someone else bugged it earlier today. Sorry about that!

That's just what he wants you to think. Makes for a better surprise twist later.

I suppose this is the best place to put it! Not a whole log but, I've been sparring my butt off to try and get off my first out-of-arena damnation! I figured I should post my very first one here. :chuffed:
Five paragraph long disclaimer. Read at your own expense. Literally. I wrote half an essay, and I'm supposed to be done exams.
So disclaimer: I've never been a paladin before, and I've only really ever experimented with SnB once. Being more used to Serpent, Bard, and (old) Shaman I felt like SnB was too slow, cumbersome, and frankly I wasn't enjoying the class. This didn't help the fact that Troll and Xorani (and Satyr) are the only strength races (they both have an extra point in strength, I know about specs/traits thank you) and I'm not very.. Comfortable roleplaying either of them. I think Naliah's description is only a line long because I dislike thinking of her as a Troll or Xorani and I'm not likely to change until I have a con belt or a strength gauntlet to make up for the stats I'd lose (as Tsol'aa or Human/Mhun).
Regardless. I've been working as hard as I can to get as much levels as I could and then spar and duel my bottom off to try and figure things out. Spar wise with people my might and level? I did great! I could disembowel off a leg break, and I was piecing together how to do hellsights quickly. While this was great, they only happened in the arena and for as much that anyone could tell I just beat them with purity. So I was kind of set on wanting to show my improvement in duels.
Yikes. No one really responded to my duel requests (Which is fine, 100%) and the people I did get were.. Probably a much higher tier than me. I struggled really hard to process what was happening on both sides of things. I felt slow and constantly outhindered, I was constantly missing my attacks even with trans chivalry and weaponry (darn serpents!) and I died eleven times total. I went down roughly 90% in experience and I was getting edgy and frustrated and was starting to state things that really didnt matter. It's not in Naliah's character to ever rage, loudly complain, or spout BS so I decided that I needed a break and walked away from Achaea for a few hours. I gotta apologize to @Atalkez for just being a prude at the end, the artefacts being put on never changed a thing. You had tree and shrugging up, there was no way Damnation would have went through and I was just stammering out excuses to feel justified. Sorry if I made you feel bad, I'm not a sore loser for the most part but I think just losing to you every time you were prepped (legitimately you were prepped on leg torso and head every time) made me an extremely edgey person and you putting on artefacts was just the perfect excuse for me get off my frustrations. So, sorry!
Came back, did a few spars, then got back to asking for duels. I get Ainly. Great, someone who was establish in the combat scene and knew a lot more of what he was doing than me. I got into a bit of a defeatist mood and we started the duel! First thing I noticed: I have no kalmia. Second: I have no ferrum. Third: My Damnation setup is based around Kalmia arc. I can't just bail to refill and decide to stop fighting and change up my aliases to something that may work. Ainly starts getting me with blackout and I lose count multiple times, my rend counter doesnt work properly, but I slowly get him prepped. Halfway through the prep he gets off a really nice aeon concussion into asthma stick and I know it's gg right there, I hands off keyboard because I'm already more than frustrated with this class and why every other SnB feels faster than me. Then Rite of Healing saves my life and removes aeon and I can eat everything away and keep on prepping. I finally prep him and go for the strike high into arc monkshood with hellsight, he tumbles out, I follow, and damnation goes through! I woke up my room mate cheering, and I outburst to Targossas out of pure relief and excitement. I get a Truefavor from Deucalion and a few words from Him then I get a City Favor. Day goes from garbage to pretty good just like that.
I'm still really struggling with this class, and it honestly frustrates me to no end how good @Kenway and @Exelethril are at the class, I just feel like I may be missing something. But that about sums up my day, and just wanted to say thanks to everyone in Targossas who supported me as I died every single time. You guys are a great crew, and your encouragement really helped me more than you may think. There's a lot more to combat than just the reflexes and scripts and coding, the attitude from you and support from friends I think goes an even longer way. So thanks, guys, thanks so much!
TL;DR: Sword and Board is really hard for me to grasp, Targ is crazy supportive, and I got off a damnation. %@#$ exams.
Naliah vs Ainly (Damnation) (This is the last quarter of what I had left. I had failed about 3 leg breaks and a damnation prior to this. I was pretty frustrated and uncertain if monkshood into hellsight would work without a Kalmia stick.

oh my god that would make me mad if I was the Jester, lol. Poor Ainly. Well done @Naliah!! If I had any tips, it would be to do queue add eqbal drop bomb or put bomb in pack when you get given bombs.
Giving them back to the Jester is hilariously fun too, especially as affliction classes. Should use queue prepend though, especially if you're using queueing for your actual attacks.
You didn't read the entire log. I have artefact pipes, for some reason I had a random non-artie pipe filled. It seems that SS should prio using artie pipes over non-artie pipes anyway.
Regardless of that, if the pipe was out, then SS needs to try to re-light it. Not stand there trying to smoke when it knows it's going to not smoke bc it's not lit, lol.
Penwize has cowardly forfeited the challenge to mortal combat issued by Atalkez.
He's Serpent in that log, so probably lost a lot of health speccing for dexterity, I guess. Does still seem a bit surprising that he'd die to a disembowel without torso damage. No sign of Naliah hitting his torso at all (based on a quick search for "torso" in the log).
I was pretty frustrated and uncertain if monkshood into hellsight would work without a Kalmia stick.
It can, but you have to get lucky. I've forgotten basically all the statistics I learnt when I was younger, but pretty sure they have a higher chance of curing hellsight within the two smokes they get than not curing it. If you do have kalmia, and they don't prioritise asthma over paralysis, monkshood is always a good option for padding the probabilities in your favour. And, if you haven't already, fill your rift up with every venom, or at least the ones you use regularly. 1200 uses of each venom should last you quite a long time.
