I feel like Iniar is going to keep posting logs of his lack of xp gain from kills that trigger Redemption until he gets his gosh darn XP, dammit.
(It probably should give some xp though).
While this isn't directed to anyone in particular, I do love the irony that Redemption shares the same message as Soulcage (a Necromancy ability with the same mechanic in other IRE games). Yet, with the roles reversed and the "light" side having it, there are "complaints". It's like I'm in bizarro world.
it had a redemption mechanic behind it that produced the stat bonuses. The problem was I'd kill you. You'd die and come back with a bunch of hax modifications and then kick the piss out of me with them.
Transmog used to act like redemption and it only gave you the stat bonuses when it fired.
The thing that made transmog ridiculous and nerf-worthy was that with the Sanguis artifact it only cost 20% sanguis and sanguis could be replenished by bashing; I had fights where I would literally mog somebody 4 times in a single fight and then I'd turn around and do it again an hour later.

ah, maybe it was us standing at the gate with 100 buckets of blood and someone beheading to fire the stat bonus or something. like i said, been a while.

He afflicted himself with sensitivity anyway. I use botulinum for the sake of soulstorm. Claymore isn't going to stick sensitivity in 1 v 1. I should probably use botulinum and another toxin to be honest unless I'm in a group.

After hearing all of the complaints about defiler getting a 35% conditional health instantkill, I'm absolutely amazed this ability still exists in this format. (And before the cries of "it has to be charged!" begin, as you can see from Iniar's log from the same fight, it's clearly not a long charge against demonic.)
Also, does anyone else feel that prismatic should effectively kill off any momentum mechanic? You shouldn't be able to drop prismatic -> end game finisher.
If that was a group skirmish involving Iniar, there's some context missing such as all the events before Iniar got targeted. It's possible that Karyn had tidalslash charged before she targeted Iniar and just unleashed it on him as I'm pretty sure it's not individual-specific, but if I'm wrong, feel free to correct me.
AM isn't the only problem child when it comes to the damage meta either. Battleaxe Reave w/Soulstorm is doing a pretty hefty amount of damage right now, even when I borrow a surcoat and rings. I can post some logs when I get home from work. Effortless damage seems to be a constant across all circles at the moment.

Tidalslash charging is not person specific; the charge is just held on the sitara.
Putting that aside, you're right that we'd need to see all the events that happened before Karyn hit Iniar in the final blow. The thing about tidalslash is that it is very effective against demonic (in their current profession makeup in groups) because it charges off of mental/magickal/intelligence-based attacks directed at you.

Then yep. If they focused Karyn, which is likely given previous fights I've been in and demonic's current love of Summoner, it's likely that she was able to charge pretty quick and unleashed the accumulated tidalslash on Iniar. Seems fairly par for the course.
Can state that Karyn doesn't pre-charge and has never asked for someone to do that. Plus, I'm fairly sure that the damage has to be magickal in origin (scales with a collar, for example). AM doesn't have a lot of stuff that does that. Monk probably has the most.
Edit: I'm not sure if that stuff charges Tidalslash though. I seem to recall some kind of change in the past or some kind of downgrade for Tidalslash that prevented stuff like that, but someone would have to confirm.
