I was referring to Wardancers when I made that comment, but it also holds true for sabs, though not to the same extent.

I hope that post was meant as a joke.

Exactly a joke !

Forum Necromancy combined with a tiny sig is a very bad way to hock your wares you know. Just make a thread in the off topic section that'll be flamed by bored wanna-be trolls like everybody else.

I'm more worried about the metrazol change, personally. Not because of the limb paralysis, but because we just lost 3 maidenhair afflictions(harder to stick strychnine)

It's going to be harder to stick anything, and much easier to heal any afflictions a Wardancer gives you without the buffering effect of metrazol and calotropis

With the damage WDs can hit you with, I see nothing wrong in this development.

Wardancer damage is, all things considered, a fairly small threat. Strychnine is what gives them the extra edge needed to kill the tanky people.

My damage is laughable when you compare it to other damage classes, quite honestly.

I depend on sticking strychnine to kill, and even then it's not a sure kill.

After hitting a TrueFavored Galt by 84 with SHORTSWORDS, I detract my former statement until more tests can be done.

And Jimek, you have managed to slay Joran more times that Runedancer Khizan ever did. Which were 0 times, if you wish to know.

I stripped Alitis' putrefaction, stuck strychnine and it still took me about 9 combos to kill him without him slowing me down.

Sometimes. I can pretty confidently say that all but the most artifacted wardancers are incapable of damage killing me solo. I've never really had an issue handling wardancer damage, even with strychnine. While their individual damage may seem huge, it's because it comes in 6-second bursts. Compare this to an idras combo, and you'll see similar damage.

I've found that Khizan's campfire tales of tanking Aten's ssd combos all day long are absolutely true, because I was able to do the exact same thing when I fought him myself. I somewhat fear for the Wardancer class after this, because without toxins, all they have left is mediocre damage and a few gimmicky tricks.

[thodin]

Imo, a good way to balance it out is to make targetted hits still give metrazol, like how they do now. It'd take it away from Sabs, WDs and Justicars still wouldn't have spam calotropis.

Thoughts?

Sdrop is misleading. It's a finishing move, meant for that last burst. The only times I ever killed with sdrop was when I trueassessed somebody low enough to die to a strike/batter/sdrop, or a raze/sdrop combo variant. Other than that, sdrop's main use is teaming, or obliterating squishies. It's just too slow to be a bread and butter damage skill.

And, my problem with Joran was the bloody rebounding. The rebounding mechanics here are so irritating. Getting through a stack is so freaking impossible.

For everything that is sacred. I don't STACK rebounding. I never did, still don't do, and though have considered coding to add it against some people, I'm really not interested on doing so.

I'm attaching the log of that spar here.  062_spar_khizan.txt (395.87K)
Number of downloads: 20 I give my public word of that log isn't altered or modified since I saved it. If you can find proof of a rebounding stack, I will personally buy 100 credits to a character of your choice. May remind you that I promised my fianceé to not buy credits, a word that I have kept to this day. But I will buy them.
