    So I realised just now that decanting doesn't use balance and can be used off balance. Does anyone carry around 12 alembics and 12 vials and when they run out of something they just decant a vial to full? I mean, it seems like it would save a lot of space since each alembic can hold ten vials worth of tonics and balms... or am I missing something?
    Most people who fight regularly just carry around 50-100 vials. Slightly reducing inventory clutter isn't worth the hassle of managing 12 alembics and refilling mid-fight (which isn't always possible).
    Well I would like to have a liquid rift sometime.

    For a class that only wields a single weapon, eg bard, is there any speed difference in wielding the weapon in the left hand rather than the right?

  • SenaSena
    If you're only wielding a single weapon, the hand makes no difference.

    From Announce #4120:

    Telepathy
    ---------
    * A damaged head will now limit the use of telepathy.

    Out of curiosity, what exactly is affected by having a broken head?

    I believe they can't use any telepathy abilities with a broken head.

    Broken head stops Torc too

    The variation on holocaust bomb timers is +/-6 seconds? Does that sound right or anyone have different numbers?

    Returning player from a long, long time ago with a new character. So many things have changed so I'm effectively a newbie at this point. Experienced with PK in Aet, Lusternia, and Imperian. I'm pretty much here to enjoy some PvP in the long run. In any event, picked Jester for a class though I'm debating between Jester and Blademaster. Initial questions are: Are either realistically viable in PvP right now? How do they do in bashing? Raid utility? 1v1? Group combat?

    Jester juggling seems pretty effective and Puppetry, even without Obliterate, has always been pretty potent. I know nothing about Blademasters since they came long after me. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Edit: For some context, I picked those two because I'm largely looking for a class that I haven't "wholly experienced" elsewhere and Blademaster, Jester, Alchemist, etc. are among Achaea's really unique ones.

    Jester has Star for range and Aeon/Hangedman for melee raid utility.  You're not going to grab a ton of kills this way, but the admin have been talking about sharing experience from kills (was that a couple months ago?) so the distinction won't matter that much whenever this happens.

    Blademaster has no range.  It's great for melee, and if you're here to enjoy PvP, I've heard nothing but good things about it.  Still, in raid situations, you're going to have to wait for melee or invest in an artefact bow.

    Honestly, I went with Blademaster solely because I have a loving relationship with Evade from other games. Plus, Scent in other games made me a bit spoiled so having Fullsense is a big thing as well.

    After reading somewhere on the forums that Blademaster tanks by not being there thanks to Evade, I knew my calling. The fact that it evades totems here is an added plus.

    I will endeavour not demonstrate a shamfur dispray. If I do, I will promptly commit sudoku.

    Thanks for the help.
  • XithXith
    Don't do it. Sudoku sucks.

    also it make it more weird that you cannot use most of telepathy abilities off-balance (with except of mind command, mind sense and so on)

    Would be too strong with roundhouse kick now. So you could para/imp every combo. Or just straight up break a leg and mind batter to stun for a bit and hope stupidity messes up the curing.

    EDIT: Can't forget disrupt either, or throwing axe venom + mind para etc.

    Yeah, we've gotten rid of most of the uber overpowered stuff here.

    Sorry, trying to remember, it's a fairly long list, broken arms (I Think), paralysis, being off balance, ropes or transfixed, prone. Just really useful for getting to a location that most can't get to as fast as you, giving you recover time.

    Affliction-wise, anything that stops "touch", so the list is identical to tattoos (for the most part).  You can test it with just sending "touch" or "touch shoes" or something if you like.

    Hindrance-wise (as in, piety, hamstring, tentacles, etc), nothing stops it, at all, including monolith sigils.

    Legit question-

    Does Achaea not have TEAR MAP like every other IRE game has? I loved doing that to people who tried to Universe out mid-fight. Haven't really bothered to try it here, to see if it does exist...

    I will be so pissed If that has existed forever and nobody has known about it, ha.

    if not, totally going to classlead it.
  • KuyKuy
    Nope, can't.
