would it be possible to make EQ gem not stack with the EQ benefit of the staff of Nicator? .6 second telepathy is just ridiculous and it doesn't add anything useful to the combat environment, just a huge barrier to people even wanting to fight.
Edit: to be useful, it really is ridiculous, but if you had worked your ass off for staff and it got nerfed, how happy would you be? The gem in general was a terrible idea.
Plus it's not like there are 15 people running around with them. There is one staff and one gem. Jesus the entitlement. I can feel it oozing out of my screen.
Adds a great layer for his game. Why should else nerf something that is bolstering his game? Because it hinders yours?
I would say let's not forget the staff was 100% won through willpower over the course of a RL week and is only given once every 100 years. Certainly something to be a "buff" as that is kind of the point.
The Gem is new, and again has to be meticulously worked at to get it. If you think Jhui is solo'ing the Grandmaster or Ulrich then idk what to tell ya.
Sure they stack to make it completely OP, and could certainly be looked at but I would chalk this up with bedevil impale slash or monk throw while Impaled.
Not working exactly as intended but the hole isn't big enough to fix either.
Penwize has cowardly forfeited the challenge to mortal combat issued by Atalkez.

Agreed.
As someone who gets lolpwned by the combo just as much as you Linus, imo just deal with it.
Not everything in the game is fair, nor does it need to be.
It's supposed to simulate a real world. Sometimes there is a giant badass dude, with giant badass guns, who wrecks everyone else.
Jhui earned the staff, and if he earns the Gem, then so be it.
Dunn, if he didn't have it when you guys ganked me then why would you assume I was talking about that? And then to be so automatically inflamatory about it just automatically?
Wait, let me get this clear. The guys who sent Kasa to ask to duel me, then ganked me with 5 people as soon as I told him I was at NoNT are criticizing me for doing something despicable like defending Eleusis when it is in my and Targossas' best interests? Riiiiiight
Uh what. I don't even know who Kasa is. That is the coolest story ever, though. Why would we do that when we could just as simply fly into Targ and earring our entire city in to kill you? That seems a little more complicated.

I agree, delete earrings. Problem solved.
Oh wait, that's not what's being suggested? Oh well, do it anyway then look at this gem thingy.
As long as it is possible to disrupt equilibrium longer than the ability's actual balance cost to do inflict it, it is going to be broken.
Even if it didn't overlap, players can still be disrupted if off limb balance, which means that it'd be a simple matter of timing the use of the mind disrupt command every [insert duration of eq disruption] to achieve the exact same effect. Since absolutely nothing in the game stops Mind Disrupt, it isn't as if 10ms of "window" between disrupts would allow any form of prevention, aside from active hindrance like hangedman, however since all forms of active hindrance also require balance to use, the effect (permanently removing the target's balance) is identical.
It's simply a matter of unintended non-diminishing effects from 5-6 different factors that were never designed to all be used simultaneously. It needs fixed, but I'm not holding my breath. Just don't interact with Jhui, including the raids where he and his crew earring in and spam 40% damage kai chokes every .7 seconds, until the mechanics are fixed, or until he decides to play fairly (although yesterday he specifically mentioned that he knows that it's totally broken, and intends on using it as much as he can until it is fixed).
Jesus christ, is the new trend to complain about Jhui about everything? Dude he legit won the staff through a lot of effort during a full real life week, this isn't the rule it's the exception. Just deal with it.

EQ trait + diadem + staff + eq gem = incredibly broken to the point of ridiculousness. It doesn't matter that only one person has it.
He was pretty much unartied then. He had the incredibly broken dragon runewarden class though.
