    Could people post the new abilities again?

    Here's the BM one.
    Syntax: SHIN MEDITATE
    EVADE <dir>
    Works on/against: Self
    Details:
    This state of mind allows you to sink into a trance-like state, granting
    you abilities normally beyond your capabilities. Even the greatest
    modern day practitioners of shindo can only maintain this state for a
    short time, and there is a significant recovery period before it is safe
    to once again enter the trance.
     
    While meditating, you will gain access to the ability to evade passed
    walls and other barriers, as well as being immune to the power of runic
    totems that may have been bound to the earth.

    @Tecton: Given that hiding class information isn't a thing anymore, could we maybe get a copy-paste of new abilities in classlead announces? It's really frustrating to read "GLAAKI has been added to the skill." and have to either make an occultist character or wait for an occultist to post the ab file.

    Can we have that SICKEN for Shaman Curses too? Love to have access to slickness that way!
  • AntoniusAntonius
    Make a case for why you need it in the next Classlead round. If Makarios thought Shaman needed it I'm sure he would have seen fit to give you it.

    I've not looked at shamans in awhile but if I remember correctly slickness not being in curses is one of the things that made shamans not unstopable. Can still envenom/embibe it and such other wise you can out pace curing easily and seal the deal that way.. if I remember correctly.

  • TaelTael
    Shaman already has a few ways to deliver slickness: imbibe, soulscourged imbibe, and coagulation. I'm not sure it would be a good idea to give them a way of giving slickness that only requires them to stick exactly one more affliction than usual instead of needing bleeding or a doll.

    Sicknen makes a lot more sense for apostate too - it offers a way to simultaneously pressure toward cath with manaleech and a lock with slickness. Whereas the only real point to pressuring mana as a shaman is to be able to build bleeding so you can use coagulation...to deliver slickness.

    Coagulation is shaman's SICKEN. Apostate was given SICKEN to make it more on par with other classes, including shaman!

    A glass poppy: 6 Mayan Crowns
    - BLOWing this finely crafted glass flower at an adventurer will send them into the embrace of Sleep.
    - Those with the insomnia defence will be immune to the effects.
    - This item requires and consumes balance to use.

    What are the combat implications of this thing? Doesn't seem that useful at first glance.

    Sounds like it's basically an hourglass tattoo, but using balance instead of equilibrium (which means the potential speed is about the same, taking diadem into account). If so, it doesn't give an advantage that you can't otherwise get (aside from being able to use nimble instead of quick-witted), it just gives an alternative.

    But costs the equivalent of 300 credits versus a few hundred gold lol

    It saves a tattoo space and it's style and status bro. Hmm... status wise, I'd prefer getting a customized thoths fang to jab delphinium, that's the true lambo.
  • AerekAerek East Tennessee, USA
    I admit to being confused of its purpose, as well. For 6 crowns, I have to assume there's some trick or special quality to it. Can it be used prone? That'd be something. If it ignored insomnia, that'd be something. If not, I don't get why a RP/flavour item would be 6 crowns, or what it would be useful for even as an RP/flavour item, as I assume even non-coms keep up insomnia as a basic defense.

    Guys, it's a thing that does a mildly interesting thing.

    It shouldn't have any combat implications. It doesn't. It's a thing so you can go, "Look at this, this is something cool I have, maybe it's even a customized thing that puts novices to sleep as part of teaching them, etc." Stop trying to expect more than that from any SoW item, their prices are pretty arbitrary, and 6mc really isn't much considering crown prices will likely drop dramatically in the coming weeks.

    Seriously, I don't keep it up and if someone used it on me then shanked me, I'd be v. upset :(
  • AerekAerek East Tennessee, USA
    That's why you keep it up.

    I'm not sure how "quick" a question this is, but what did Glaaki end up actually doing for Occultists? Is this new route of cleanseaura->truename supposed to be an alternate strategy to unravel? Has the addition of a new strategy changed the balance landscape wrt occultists by making their offense less predictable?

    glaaki route is pretty independent of unravel route.  You know when someone is going for glaaki because they are hitting your mana.  Pretty easy to see that and keep it above 40%.

    However, it's a nice new route to give noob occultists a way to kill less experienced people without having to learn how to count and manage afflictions, so it's a solid addition for the appeal of the class.

    Can't combo truename with an entity, and the EQ on it is too long to properly use it to work towards any affliction stack.

    I haven't done any real testing with it beyond the basics, but truename still hits like a truck and if you can get the cleanseaura off, you're able to pull two truenames.

  • TharvisTharvis The Land of Beer and Chocolate!
    truename still does 40% health, 40% mana, and afflicts with aeon through speed right? So if you can pull two, that's 80% health and 80% mana?

    Pretty neat alternative for those mana-based instakills
    Aurora says, "Tharvis, why are you always breaking things?!"
    Artemis says, "You are so high maintenance, Tharvis, gosh."
    Tecton says, "It's still your fault, Tharvis."

    Just health and aeon. If it hit mana, it'd be silly because you could just double truename into cleanseaura/more truenames.

    Granted, I like the idea of seeing which breaks first: Your health/mana priorities or my karma reserve.

  • CynlaelCynlael
    You're actually able to pull three truenames, since you can combo glaaki with cleanseaura (or just trigger glaaki off of successful cleanse)

    Depends on entity balance and latency. Three's possible, but not entirely a sure thing. Two is definitely sure.
