Seeing feeble damage like that makes me glad I swing a two-hander.

[AnticorRifling]

How's this cat getting a wizard spellup during the whole thing? I didn't see anyone casting open or invis and I didn't see him rubbing imbeds.

[Kitsun]

If someone wanted to be sneaky about it just run out of the room to prep, run in to cast.

[Wezas]

Why didn't you have all your signs up from the beginning? Conserving your mana? :D

[Asha]

Why on earth were you ambushing the arm with a dagger?

Then to make it worse , you use a wet noo . . scimitar.

I thought of that but it seemed like way to much work heh.

Scimitar isn't bad to the neck or eyes.

Or maybe a feature / bug of a custom prep message?

I wonder if you could get them to totally eliminate the prep phrasing?

You can't PB. I asked ;)

I figured someone else would have thought of it. :)

So what do you see from someone prepping a spell while invisible that has a custom prep message? Are they all different or do you hear the old "you hear someone blah blah"

Unless the person receiving the spell left the room, you'd still see one or both of the following, depending on whether or not an invisible wizard prepped in the same room.

You hear someone chanting an arcane phrase...
A translucent sphere forms around Yahoo.

Personally, my favorite line in the whole duel: "A stout dwarven priestess says, "You must not fear the dragon."" Obviously, she's suggesting all who die must "auto-decay."

Wow... battle of the pussies. You just wasted 45 seconds of my life. Thanks.

[Gibreficul]

Battle of the pussies, huh? It was a good fight, everyone there thought so. And I am curious as to how he was getting spelled.

As for why I didn't use signs before (or have a shield out) I didn't expect to duel to the death, but, the situation escaladed.

As for why use daggers/scimitars... style. My scimitar is crit weighted, so it works well, and in GS3, at least, it was faster ambushing than a falchion, or handaxe, broadsword, or even a longsword. now, it's a personal attachment to it.

All I have to say, after all that... SUBDUE PWNZ:D

[Parkbandit]

Whatever. It certainly went on for FAR too long in my opinion. Rogues kill in one or two hits maybe. We aren't warriors who sit there and nick their opponent to death. As a rogue you should feel ashamed.

Those aren't "real" rogues in my opinion. They are nothing more than empaths (before their sorcery spells) to me.. just sitting around waiting for their next client.

Only thing worse in my opinion is a rogue that doesn't steal. If you are a lockpick rogue that steals.. then you are like 1/2 rogue.

Just to let you guys know, that Methadun guy was sold.

[Gibreficul]

maybe some of you are illeterate, but I posted why I use daggers and scimitars. I'll add one thing, it's humiliating to be killed with a dagger... As for your 15 or 20some train bards, or whatever killing Gibreficul, not likely, they'd be hardpressed to HIT him, let alone land a hit. Then theres the DS pushdown Gib would get from ambushing from hiding. Basically, yer BS story doesn't check out with me.


As for those who call locksmiths "Not real rogues" who the fuck is supposed to pick boxes? let wizards gaze/pop? or let the warriors bash em? I'm a locksmith ROGUE, makes me no less a rogue than a war-rogue. I hunt, but I prefer my picking abilities to be the best they can possibly be, because good locksmiths are always in demand. I leave Teras, people bitch, I leave Illistim, people bitch... reason, THEY NEED LOCKSMITHS OF MY CALIPER. Also, to add, the only difference between me as a locksmith rogue, and me being a war rogue is that I'm only 1x armor, CM, and physical fitness... if I didn't pick, I'd be 2x in all 3. (and possibly shield too) So, I'm a decent hunter too...

[Gan]

<THEY NEED LOCKSMITHS OF MY CALIPER>

Thats either a good pun or you're looking for the word CALIBER.


My rogue is a 3x picker/trapper and is an awsome hunter (uphunts 7 to 8 trainings currently in tower Mahaagra). Everyone has their opinion of what the ultimate rogue should be.

Myself, I think what defines a rogue is the ability to pick boxes as well as sling a blade to the same level. Only critique I could offer you based on the log you posted initially was that it took so long to do what you wanted to do, more like a warrior would act... hack, hack, hack. A coup de grace more defines what happens when you mess with a talented rogue, IMO... meaning body parts will start flying off and usually it will entail no more than 2 swings if that many. Get in, get out, get on with your life...

[FinisWolf]

Gib, relax..., I doubt anyone here was truly flaming you..., we (well I know for sure I) was just giving you shit. Kick back bro... lifes GREAT!

Finiswolf

[AnticorRifling]

I laughed at the caliper joke Gib. Nicely done. Personally I would have used a bigger weapon and started with the hands, then the feet, asked for an empath to blood him alittle, then arms and legs, keep blooding him, then finally maybe a spine removal.

But I like to make sure they know they just got fucked royal and I own the situation.

[Shari]

HEY, a girl slapfight can be BRUTAL.

On topic, Nalina usually uses a dagger and a shortsword to kill someone, sometimes a waraxe. When she is out to kill someone it usually goes like this:

hide
sign of smiting
sign of striking
sign of swords
sign of madness
rub blue crystal
ambush So-and-so's neck

I've been fairly sucessful with that. :D

[Alfster]

Liar.

It goes like this.

Alfue sweeps them, then...

hide
sign of smiting
sign of striking
sign of swords
sign of madness
rub blue crystal
ambush So-and-so's neck

[Shari]

Maybe way back when...BEFORE YOU WERE BANNED FROM LANDING.


:saint:

[Gan]

Actually...

it goes like this (since you cant rub a blue crystal and stay in hiding...)

talk shit and egg the mark on...
rub blue crystal
sign of smiting
sign of striking
sign of swords
keep talking shit and egging the mark on
cman smast
hide
ambush marks's right eye

repeat if you suck at aiming

note: madness limits the chance for repeat punishment so its rarely used unless the mark is known to be older than you.

Like I said.. Falgrin would consider you nothing more than a worker, waiting for your next job. Hardly someone he would want to go into battle with side by side. And real rogues don't sit there and nick their opponents like you did. They wait for the perfect time and they come in and take their opponent out with one or two hits.

A decent hunter? Not in Falgrin's eyes.

You've been playing with your 40 charge crystal too much and you lose this ability with the normal ones.

I have a 40 charge crystal I carry in one back.. then about 10 regular ones for JUST this reason.

Hey... easy on the warriors. They're not rogues, but they're not so bad if you train them okay. Not everyone is dumb enough to stand out there taking hits pinging away at something in offensive stance using inefficient, by comparison to hide and ambush, CMAN.

Warriors can or will never hide as well as a rogue. Even if that rogue is only 1x, they probably have a better shot at hiding than anyone else (bar ranger) who is 2x.

Hell yes. Rogues are one of the most powerful classes in the game with some of the lowest TP costs for the best combination of skills. Until other professions actually get some decent abilities, (that don't include the utter errosion of your wrists and forearms), who wouldn't want to be a rogue?
