qweqwe Weapon Fire

[Stanley Burrell]

I am not a happy hamster when it comes to ancient fire mages appearing in the room with pre-prepared, fire-attuned e-wave and casting it like a nanosecond after I "see them out of the corner of my eye" when my retarded Teras bounty actually becomes a critter rep', which are the only kinds I can actually do.

Then the fucker weapon fires my monir-hafted golvern morning star, which I instantly attempt to disk, but I already have max disk space, so I get hit with a twelve-teen round stun, and figure, I'm dead:

I then stupidly proceed to type DROP MY STAR a jillion times as if my stun will ever wear off, which it SOMEHOW does, followed by my being buffeted for a million seconds again with my bonded star out in the open.

The extreme polar opposite of heterosexuality continues and I die: The ancient mage picks up my star and I have to watch this cocksucking piece of flaming shit pace about for an hour, kill the one person who attempted to rescue me, and then get bitched at because I used symbol of need ten or twelve times, which I deserved, but it didn't help the situation or my panic attack.

I then (finally) get the messaging that my BOUNTY IS COMPLETE, WHOOPTY-FUCKING-YAY eleventeen hours later when the one person on Teras older than level two killed the mage and got back my star. I <3 you Platonically.

I also <3 other awesome people who helped me manage this crisis.

Seriously though, weapon fire and having these AG bounty-cackgobbling cum depositories enter the room with pre-cast crimson waves of buffety doom and my having (I think exactly) four seconds to respond, especially after having used a 14 second mstrike can drink a bleeding colon.

That is my beef for the day.

[Latrinsorm]

Berserk > 12 round stun.

[Stanley Burrell]

You can't berserk because the waves of buffety anti-hetero anally rape your ability not to have RT.

[Latrinsorm]

You should always be berserking, clearly! :)

[Stanley Burrell]

Clearly :rofl:

I think active berserking behind the door, after critter spawns, is probably a silly thing to do.

[Stanley Burrell]

602 needs to work with weapon fire, though.

[Fallen]

There isn't spellburst in there, is there? Spelltank

[Warriorbird]

Don't hunt fire mages.

Sprites just gank all your shit. I think they come in with dispell prep'd too.

[Stanley Burrell]

Don't hunt fire mages.

I'm trying really hard to pretend like they're not the only experience-viable critter to hunt at my train on Teras, while being a Teras citizen, and feeling the need ... to Teras (v.) :(

602 needs to work with weapon fire, though.

I think it does. Cold flaring weapons and padded armor help much more.

[Stanley Burrell]

I think it does. Cold flaring weapons and padded armor help much more.

I had a rhimar star that got flared too, and I'm not noticing any difference, if any, really.

The rarity of my getting a 5 or 10 point hit from a weapon fire (let alone a 3 or 1 minor [never seen the latter, and I've got blasted a bunch!]) is exactly the same as it would be with or without 602. What I've noticed 602 make a diffence with when hunting behind the door is as follows:

Secondary damage ball spells with bolt DS from tsarks (breathing fire after bristling) and mages (I would friggin' hunt 602'less ALWAYS just to have mages always and only be pre-prep'd with 908 & 917!!) have their damage reduced. That's about it.

As far as armor padding? What? I mean -- I have redux, I think. I wouldn't exactly say that comes into play, ever, whereas any magical damage is concerned. I don't even know if earth flares would get toned down by wearing full plate, or incredibly crit/damage padded double leather but I doubt it. Sincerely.

I do know that heavier AsGs get blasted particularly hard by lightning, which is retardedly ... Retarded, since I wear non-metal full plate. But it manages to get equally treated like it was wired with every ionic transition metal under the sun, all while remaining hindered almost completely from being wizard enchanted any further.

Maaan I use to looove hunting fire mages, except when there were no empaths around. I feel your pain with weaponfire I just used to wear as much spells as possible to try to ward it, and try to stun sprites before utterly pwning mages.

Latrinsorm is right... berserk is teh sexy.

[Celephais]

Reason: Edited for a reason.
Best part of that post.

What material is your full plate? I think that'd be cool if they actually looked at the materials of all of your equipment... more (ionic) metal means more damage. Then they could even make a table of elements for materials to show how corrosive they are.

You can't berserk when you get set on fire (I just tried [you're forced to roll at 3 second intervals while mages prepare more apeshit.) You also can't berserk while having RT from mages' ridiculous e-waving bullcrap.

The ability to hunt a warrior should not be made possible through "LOL WELL JUST BERSERK EVERYTHING" because people who typically say this don't know w-t-f they're talking about.

Maybe the way things were before the THIRD time some sick-in-the-head coder decided to make things even more impossible could, somehow, have been a way to berserk out of a stun behind the door.

Now it's just ATTUNE WATER. BE SPELLCASTER. TELL ALL WARRIORS BERSERK FIX EVERYTHING :mad:

It's ruby. Ruby that was SUPPOSED to be 7-motherfucking-x, but just as the final pour had gone in, that stupid nerf, because of all the perfect steel weapon forges, had to roll in and it got bounced back to 4x on final cast. The gh3yness was enigmatic. Although I suppose if I ever wanted to pad it I don't have to use that many more prem points doing so.

Now just looking back, mage retribution is offset by 602, too. You can't even kill more than a mage or two as a square weapon-swinger without 602 and expect to last, erm, at all.

[CrystalTears]

It's ruby.
OMG why?

[Stanley Burrell]

OMG why?

Change of pace.

[CrystalTears]

Sorry to derail, but how heavy is that armor?

[Celephais]

That's pretty nuts that you would go through the trouble of enchanting ruby plate to 7x... that really does suck that that nerf went through when it did... bullshit nerf too, if someone really wants to pull these negative enchant materials up from the abyss, I say let them, not like they have good breakage stats or weight.

[Stanley Burrell]

70

It all started with the antagonists of our weapon fire plot. Everything seemed like a good idea at the time.

I would lighten it, but I need to make my offhand morning star 1.5lbs lighter so that I can have all my swinging RTs reduced moreso than if I lightened my R-plate, um, 60 lbs.

I can't find your quote about GemStone and (not) logic earlier, but tru' dat.

Lol breathe man. I wasn't saying to berserk everything, I just personally freakin' love it cuz it saves Aaysia's ass a lot. I don't use berserk constantly, she only uses it to break stuns. When the stun wears off after I type in berserk I just spam RUNAWAYWARRIOR to whoever I happen to be IM'ing at the time on aim, it's fun.

I remember using haste imbeds A LOT in mages. Cut down greatly on them getting a chance to cast anything at Aaysia.

It's obsidian that's ridiculously heavy of the crappy "metals".

[Stanley Burrell]

I'M COOL MAN!!!11~! (That response was totally geared towards everything and anything, um, Latrinsorm? You are so cool in my book. I should keep the book on me at all times to throw at mages and flare icicles it's so cool.)

Anyhoo, all I had to do was read:


Aaysia's ass

And all seemed right with the world, once more :saint:

Until I have to hunt these sunsabitches once again.

[Celephais]

Ruby has a 1 weight modifier. It's obsidian that's ridiculously heavy of the crappy "metals".
I meant as a whole with the non-standard metals... obsidian, ruby, alexandrite, etc. Ruby starts out at what... -10? Something stupid, I was saying it didn't have a great modifier... 1 is not a great modifier, to the effect of not being worth enchanting it back up to 0 to start anew. I wasn't claiming it was like glaes, just that it wasn't like imflass where you could disenchant it down to 0 first to get the even bonus to reenchant it (they fixed that... sadly).

[Teavangelical]

Ruby, haha.

That reminds me of back in the day when I first realized you could have the Landing NPC weaponsmith custom-make a ruby dagger. I thought I would be the badass above all badasses with that thing and could not wait for it to get done.

Life just wasn't the same after that first glimpse of negative AS. :(

[Celephais]

I saved up forever to get the 8k I needed for a ruby broadsword, I thought I was going to be so amazingly powerful... it didn't work out quite like I planned.

[Stanley Burrell]

Wish I hadn't pawnshop fodder'd my 4x ruby quarterstaff in GSIII, I think it was :(

Of doom.
