  • Huh. It was just added damage.

    Then it was changed to cutting penetration, making it the best ability after DSL

  • It was changed probably 10 years ago.

  • I noticed when fighting serpents, they try to stick darkshade to get the kill, and I always wondered that if I moved through a lightwall if it would increase the chance by a second or so, or if the lightwalls simply had to be in the room. (The more lightwalls the faster darkshade procs) or perhaps the only way to get a darkshade kill at night is with a lightwall up? 

  • It's just about the presence of a lightwall in the room. The number of lightwalls doesn't matter.

    What would be the most significant defences to keep up? Is it better to keep up a few or is it better to keep up many defences?

  • Any defence that's important to you and doesn't require equilibrium or balance is what you should be keeping up. You can elect to add Cloak tattoo to that too, but I find that I want to run out of adjacent/LoS when I tumble so I don't want to stand there touching cloak. Up to you of course.

    Nvm, wrong thread

  • Does hamstring stack? Can Blademasters just keep applying hamstring and it'll just reset the timer, or is there a grace period?

    It resets the timer every time it gets struck.

    Can someone explain how I did this in two bladetwists? Does level 2 torso break really help my cause, or is it a waste of time and I should just go for one break? 


    @Saeva well fought, thought you had me done for when you had me in the retardation trap. Congrats on dragon as well! (Belated, I know)

  • What is procc rate on falcon stripping defenses, just random RNG?

    Are there any defenses that falcon won't strip?





    Penwize has cowardly forfeited the challenge to mortal combat issued by Atalkez.
  • Not sure on the proc chance, but it can strip anything except for the few exceptions that can never be stripped (starburst etc), except for shield.

    No torso is 250 bleed.

    Level 1 torso is 350 bleed. If they don't clot, two bladetwists off a level one is enough to brokenstar.

    I never tested level 2 torso, I guess it's around 450 if it increases it at all.

  • It's 450

  • so as a monk whats the best way to slow or stop an affliction class. Having trouble against occies.  Also how does one handle the damage from runies.

    Occies, disrupt or kai cripple, don't shield.

    Runies, transmute and kai heal, cripple if you're really desperate but kai healing is the better option.

    the n00b is back. Can anyone tell me how Paladin finishers work? Or more directly, what I can do when I know my arm and leg is prepped?


    Also, what is a knights common method of prepping the static parried leg? Do they just need rapiers fast enough to beat herb balance, or wait until the delph/delph mangle to prep the other leg? (Which seems hard)


    Edit: Disembowel is their more reliable finisher right? Really hard for them to pull of their Devotion insta, right? 

    Edit 2: I do not believe in piety+cleave because that's not how I died. Lol. I simply struggle against knights whenever I duel.

  • Broken head/hellsight = instakill. 

  • Broken head/hellsight = instakill. 

    Wouldn't you have to be absurdly fast to beat the apply to head, and isn't hell sight periodic affliction? I've never been Paladin so it sounds unreliable to me

  • Yeah, pretty much absurdly fast.  It's probably the hardest insta-kill to pull off in the game.  

  • edited June 2014

    Beating a head apply really shouldn't be a problem. Sticking the hellsight is the crucial part. Don't remember the hellsight eq loss though, so I don't really know any specifics.

    Don't even remember how long smoke balance is.

  • Is it (Hellsight) cured by smoking? Curare+Vernalius on a mangled limb, Curare + Asthma for head break, + Hellsight?
    I don't do afflictions really, unless I'm trying to butcher a slowlock on Jester, but I'm really bad at understanding how to stack a variety of afflictions.

  • edited June 2014

    Most people don't bother, but you should prio asthma > para( or fitness) if you have hellsight or broken head vs paladin.  Even if you don't, it is -nearly- impossible to pull off. It's easier vs server curing at least.  It only takes two 250ms delays to make curing hellsight slower than DSL.

  • Paladin would try a kelp stack to stick asthma for hell sight to stick, hell sight is somewhere around..2-3ish seconds maybe? And gives slickness on application of hell sight. Pipe balance is 1.5s, damnation was easy when pipe balance first came out due to everyone curing slickness over hell sight at first. I assume that's changed now. But yeah, damnation relies on a stack, so pretty hard to pull off unless you're lucky, expert diagnosed would help a pally pull it off by check if they have asthma still before they DSL to mangle and have to reset if they don't still have asthma though.


    DISCLAIMER: never been paladin and it 4:30 in the morning, so excuse and stupid sounding things I may have said or incorrect information (:

  • Kelp stacking isn't too bad. What's silly about Damnation is Fitness. Since pally can't stop focus, you basically have to prep at least two limbs and then hope that focus cures stupidity instead of vernalius AND kelp cures clumsiness or sensitivity instead of vernalius or asthma. And if something important gets cured, you start all over and have to prep the limbs again. And that's just if they have a trigger to fitness on hellsight, with them not doing anything clever at all.

    Fitness > Damnation. Make broken head stop focus or something and it'd be better. Though, there's still tree.

  • I didn't have a terrible time Damning people with stack. But, this was before class specs. I was Rajamala with lv2 balance and runed rapiers. Doubleslash is slower than it used to be.

    damnation

    Pipe balance has no effect on Damnation setup, since there are no elm affs.

    Focus lock also an option.
