Don't try to weapon flare me, punk.

!>look
[Old Ta'Faendryl, North]
A beaten animal track parallels the edge of a huge granite boulder, moving north, then circling around to the east. Further north, the ridge of the city wall, having more the appearance of a natural hill covered in vegetation, makes a futile stand against the persistent encroachment of the surrounding forest. You also see an Ithzir seer, an Ithzir adept, a gleaming steel longsword and a twisted crystal-tipped staff.
Obvious paths: northeast, south, southwest, west
!>get 1 arrow from my backpack
You remove a single arrow from a bundle of arrows.

You're now aiming at the left eye of your target when using a ranged weapon, or while ambushing.

An Ithzir seer grabs a stunned Ithzir adept and drags his compatriot southwest!

That's what you get!

[Celephais]

That is awesome.

[Kitsun]

That rocks something pretty hard.

[Drew]

Before they 'fixed' it I would hunt that way with my wizard-archer. Weapon fire my arrow, drop it, wait for flare, pick it up and shoot the critter, was fun.

[Asha]

That was pretty nice. I could never be warded in OTF and I had no clue you could do that.
Awesome.

[Gan]

ROFL

Sweet

[Stanley Burrell]

That's pretty cool. Wonder if you could set up a cast, hide, flaring drake/feras dagger script or sump'n. Be kinda risky if you hunt perceptive stuff. Throwing in the open might work, er?

[Renian]

I just realized the title of this topic should be "Don't try to weapon fire me, punk." :/

Thanks for the comments. I just wish I could have seen that adept die from the weapon fire.

[Shalla]

Ahahah! Nice!

[Danical]

Whenever I get weapon fired with my warrior I get the ever living shit kicked out of me. Why wasn't the crit much worse?

At any rate, tell that asshole adept to suck a bag of dicks.

[Gan]

This scenario got me to thinking. I wonder if I could pick up a blade, cast 125 on it, and then drop it. Would the Ithzir pick it up? And what would it look like when it bolted? Can you 125 a crystal one? Is the effect enhanced?

My luck, I would 125 one, drop it, and by some fluke have a scout pick it up and throw it back at me, having it stick, and then the bolt get me instead...

Just a random thought...

[Renian]

Whenever I get weapon fired with my warrior I get the ever living shit kicked out of me. Why wasn't the crit much worse?

I think it has to do with the size/type of the weapon. Maybe. I could be completely wrong.

[TheEschaton]

I'm soooooooo trying that out right now, Gan.

[TheEschaton]

In other words....awesome..

Hahahaha pwnt.

[Fallen]

I think it would be most effective to shoot an arrow with the spell on it at Constructs. If the arrow sticks and the spell lands before the thing dies (No more crit kills) you should get some good damage.

[Gan]

I'm soooooooo trying that out right now, Gan.


ROFL

Thanks for the log. That was great.

I've banished myself from OTF until I finish voln otherwise I'll never finish. :(

[TheEschaton]

Ugh, Voln.

I imagine though, my cleric with 101 ranks in Brawling might be decent in Voln Fu - but not enough for OTF, I imagine.

Toy was doing fine with it. It was her preferred way to take out constructs.

Ugh it's like JD's longsword... but for armor.

[Gan]

Ugh, Voln.

I imagine though, my cleric with 101 ranks in Brawling might be decent in Voln Fu - but not enough for OTF, I imagine.

I've seen a wizard use fu/haste with deadly results on constructs. Since I'm already brawl/shield its only natural to go voln.

[TheEschaton]

Sean, you know you love it. :P

I seem to recall you wanting to always borrow it, and that's just when it was plain old 8x brig. Now it's HCP.

And for some reason, some people pay ridiculous amounts for alters you can't get any more, like ones depicting ur-daemons.
