Combat Logs

Antonius

I fought Proficy when he was dual blunt Infernal, and while he did eventually manage to kill me with damage (because I was trying out some new ways to defend against dual blunt that weren't as efficient or effective as they could have been), he could have killed me a lot faster if he'd bothered to prep arms before the leg breaks and just used vivisect. It's yet another option for gaining the kill that limits their choices defensively. It definitely doesn't lolsmash as effectively as Runewarden, though, so I can see how some people might come to the conclusion that it's "not good".

If you don't pre-apply, your options are:

Applying to legs on the leg breaks. This leaves you wide open for a pulp kill, because applying to head immediately on recovering salve balance won't save you in time, nor will tumbling over an icewall alone (the timing isn't that close with level three morningstars, you can mountjump/leap and still pulp in time - assuming they can even tumble on leg breaks fast enough to get out of the room before the pulp). If they're Infernal, you have to take this route otherwise they can just break arms then vivisect if they've bothered to prep them as well.

Applying to head on the leg breaks. This will allow you to avoid Pulp initially, but leaves you wide open to being mangle locked and damaged out if you're not a dragon or heavily artied. If you have enough health, this is definitely an option against Paladin and Runewarden because they have nothing to force you not to.

Ultimately, though, your best option against dual blunt is to just loop/pre-apply to legs when you think you're close to prepped.

The world is not ready for a DWB Infernal who uses it to its full potential. It would be a recurring rant topic.

Cooper

Proficy never bothered with vivisect despite me telling him it would wreck people. He also did artie flails first for loldamage.

Atalkez

Only thing rebounding did was let me not get mangled. I still got pulped easily, and him hitting rebounding once ruined the prep I did manage to get (he broke his own leg).

Aegoth

So... about that Runie DWB... https://ada-young.appspot.com/pastebin/50ae6b28

Szanthax

you killed him the round before.

Armali

While I have no idea if it would've saved you or not: You take a drink from a crystal vial. Your mind feels stronger and more alert. That certainly did you no favors. Or hitting your own crystalforest (isaz levitation strip?)

Aegoth

svof why

Hahaha

Proficy skilfully whirls Dreadnought, a flail crafted from burned oak toward your right leg.
The right side of your body loses all feeling as the weapon of Proficy discharges energy into you.
Proficy skilfully whirls Colossus, a flail formed from blood stained ice toward your right leg.

1/2 health hits, seems legit

Dual blunt separates the real women and men from the scrubs.

Pssh. Get gud. (By that I mean go artied Priest. You won't feel a thing.)

Borran

That is ridiculous! That's Stormhammer on a short balance.

An ol' pre-weaponmastery fight. My Duel of Honour. (Paladin vs. Runewarden)

Aww that lack of precached herbs.

Just got back into the game and switched to Alchemist for a change. Desperately seeking some combat logs so I can get an idea where to start with it. Thanks.

Paging @Armali and @Proficy

I still can't lock people all the time... But I think I have the general idea down. I'll hit you up in game... Too embarrassed to post here

You shouldnt be! My biggest combat revelations have come from advice people gave me on my terrible terrible logs. Everyone is super helpful in this thread. The spite only happens when people wont take advice and neither party can get over their text ego!

I just never think about it until I'm already praying/running for targ.

Szanthax

I had a fairly solid lock v @Gamoneterik in anynn but @Dunn came right after and I shat the bed.. (didn't reset my trackers and he broke my face in like 5 secs)

Dunn

Oh. Didn't realize y'all were fighting or I would have scampered off. 

Szanthax

The fight was over at that moment (flex preen)... I just didn't get the kill lol.

Szanthax

Next time I fight @Rodhel  I'll make sure to save the log

I frequently have logs loaded on my phone that I open randomly and frequently find bugs and things to change from reading them. It's kind of like Starcraft pros watching their replays.

Its lead to a few "aw shit" moments in public. 

Aerek

That's a fantastic idea. Do you load them manually to the phone, or do you record and forward them somehow?

Dunn

I skype the url to myself or e-mail it, lol.

Dalran

Dropbox is good for it too. That's what I use 

Dunn

That too. Mine is packed with shit from grad school tho... Need to clean it out bad.

That's easy. Make a folder named "old stuff 2016.08.16" and put everything in it. Then start fresh!
