That love soon might end You are unbreaking
And be known in its aching Though quaking
Shown in this shaking Though crazy
Lately of my wasteland, baby That's just wasteland, baby
Also, can someone explain riftlock and riftlock2 as far as SVO is concerned? Rift lock is broken arms and slickness to stop the apply, plus maybe asthma to stop curing slickness. So what is Rift2?
Soft lock - anorexia, asthma, slickness.
Venom lock - soft lock + paralysis (called a venom-lock because it's the furthest lock you can achieve with only venoms. Impatience is required to continue a step up)
Hard lock - Venom lock + impatience
True lock - Hard lock + confusion/disrupt
If they have alternate cure methods, then you need to add them at any stage for a real lock against them. Examples being weariness against fitnessers and shruggers (serpents), and weariness/recklessness against Dragonheal (dragons).
Magi can't give impatience. They can achieve an alternate Hard lock in retardation though, I'll give you two methods to get you thinking. The typical, but more diffficult one, is flatlining their mana so they can't use Focus (which is practically identical to them having impatience). As long as their mana is below 250, they'll have pseudo-impatience. The second is hitting them all lock afflictions, and then throwing another focusable affliction (such as stupidity) at them before they can focus anorexia. This isn't technically a lock, but it does give you a 50% chance of retaining the lock for 2.5 seconds, which is the balance time of Focus. The more focusable afflictions you can stick, the better your chance at preventing them from curing out of the lock. Noticeable mentions for you as a Magi would be Shyness (Digitalis), Dizziness (Larkspur), Stupidity (Aconite), Vernalius (Weariness), Eurypteria (recklessness). Stupidity should be #1 port of call for this strategy, as it also gives you the additional RNG of preventing them from curing anything for an entire round in retardation, giving you chance to stick another mental aff. A good start would be sticking gecko and asthma in retardation and then breaking their head with an envenomed jab of slike to give anorexia/stupidity (head breaks give stupidity). You can pre-break arms to help you stick affs and prevent tree tattoo.
Regarding the svo rift lock thing, not entirely sure as I haven't used svo before, but it might be empty valerian pipe / slickness / broken arms? Emptying a valerian pipe is just an alternate way of having asthma, as you can't smoke to cure broken arms. Might be classified differently in the Svo system to make it more efficient at trying to cure out of it, but can't say for sure.
Also for the record what use is having someone off equib for a truelock.
I can't think of anything that they could use to cure out of the lock that they wouldn't be able to do with out every affliction but truelocked.
Excluding tumble of course.
This is why confusion+disrupt are traditionally counted as part of a truelock, despite no longer being a necessity for a complete lock in most cases. But this is also the reason why I personally never liked using fixed specific lock names for specific affliction combinations (venom lock, soft lock, hard lock, whatever). Terms like this are often quickly outdated and have little actual relevance to practical affliction combat. What counts is not to get an opponent to "lock x", but simply to afflict him with whatever's necessary to immobilize that particular person at that particular time, which changes from class to class, person to person.
→My Mudlet Scripts
I know with my 66/213/124 whip garroting someone is about a 4 second balance but on a npc it's a 3.2 second balance. I'm assuming dex plays a factor but does it play a factor against people and npcs or just npcs? If so is my 16 dex getting me .8 seconds?
And on that note. The strength aspect does strength effect garrote? and if so does it only effect npcs or also players. does the damage stat on the whip actually matter or is it like a dirk?
Also on flay same questions as above does the whip stat's matter on flaying or is it dex.
And also what's about the cap on the dex flay?
If you have str gauntlets and str spec, Runie is one of the top dps classes by just leaning on dsl.
Dex matters slightly for flay, but I don't know the specifics. I don't remember whether whip speed matters.
Extremely good forged rapiers can beat Soulpiercers in raw dps (comparing to unruned SPs, it takes about 70 damage and 247 speed against 6k health before considering armour, against higher health and armour it's easier), even before considering the faster afflictions or any other tactics.
Pithakhan runeblade = -10% maxmana on proc and has ~ same chance as Nairat
Dagaz = 1 affliction every 15s

Artemis says, "You are so high maintenance, Tharvis, gosh."
Tecton says, "It's still your fault, Tharvis."
Speed was never fully nailed down, but best was: 7-SpeedStat/50 minus .25s per point of dex above 12. (not including nimble)
A 66/213/124 whip is horrible and I wouldn't wish it on anybody. That's probably more what you're running into.
Don't know of a cap on Serpent speed making this faster. Above 16 somewhere if it's there. Maybe 17+ dex serp could say if over 16 is speeding them up for sure or not.
Dex does speed up flay as well, but no formula for that. Whip stats don't matter if I recall correctly.
Tumbling off of impale does 34% without any damage reduction. (armour has no effect it's unblockable damage not cutting)
Adding a level one torso break adds ~7%. 6.7 in my testing.
Level two adds ~7%. 6.9
Double broken torso tumble does 47.6% of my health.
Blademaster seems to get the same bonuses from broken torso but the over all damage of tumbling off their impale is lower 29.7-35.6% in my test.
Arc targeted seems to do about half damage of untargeted with a 2.6-2.7 balance while untargeted arc's balance remains at 4.2-4.3

Tumbling off of impale is not changed by strength unless they changed that too.

I might be missing something here though?
(When I say wouldn't use it on everyone of course I mean wouldn't use it on everyone during a normal fight vs just a targeted one)
(And also sure, you could say they might jump in but there's very few people who are going to jump you in a duel for arcing them that wouldn't have jumped you already)
