Anyone care to help me compile a list?

It might be better to list what CMANs they do NOT use:

Bearhug
Crowd Press (?)
Cut Throat
Dirt Kick/Dust Shroud
Garrote
Hay Maker (?)
Staggering Blow/Truehand
Subdual Strike/Subdue (?)
Sucker Punch
Shield Sunder

Anyone see any on that list they DO use, or ones they don't use off of it?

charge?

I'm pretty sure they use Charge.

What they do NOT use is Shield Charge. Shield BASH, yes. Do they Coup? I think so, if given the chance.

They do NOT Disarm, and they don't Sunder Shield I don't think either.

Obviously no Garrote or Bearhug either. No staggering blow. I've never been knocked into another room. I THINK they use either Truehand or Mightyblow, though.

Bullrush
Warcry
Tackle
Headbutt
Shield Bash
Hamstring
Cheapshots
Sweep
Groin Kick

I haven't seen Feint or Dirtkick, but it's possible

They use both shield bash and shield charge. In fact, they use shield charge more often. I know this because I trained a few ranks of sbash to defend against it and was dismayed to find that everything I was getting hit with was a shield charge. They do not, however, use polearm charge.

Also, groinkick, spin attack, berserk, cheapshots, combat mobility.

Berserk

Garrote

Staggering Blow
Subdual Strike/Subdue (?)
Sucker Punch
Shield Sunder

I am about 90% sure they use either Mighty Blow or Truehand, but I don't know which. Does the above list look right to everyone? I left out crap like Combat focus and Shadow mastery.

Lone Pures are pretty fucked without huge padding then. Even then they're RT locked?

I've seen them berserk, but only to break webs and binds.

I don't think they do, but I'm not positive. You're probably thinking of spin attack. Does anyone have the messaging for these maneuvers?

Truehand doesn't have any special messaging.

Good call, you're right. I will ammend the list. I put the list of maneuvers they DONT use on the first post. I will list the ones they do use once we iron it all out.

Some CMANs, like Mblow and Sblow don't have messaging, only way you know it is if your hit by it...

You'll know if your hit by Sblow if you get RT from a melee attack, Mblow if you notice a stance drop

Spin Attack is something like
"You snarl aggressively and take a spinning leap towards the rolton."
but I believe it's different for each race and profession...an Elven Warrior gives "A shrill yell" while attacking, a Giant Rogue "Gets a glint in his eye"

Wait, can anyone confirm that they DO use Dirt Kick and/or Dust Shroud? I see SolitareConfinement mentioning they do.

Then I'm positive they don't use sblow or mblow and they definitely use spin attack.

I can't remember ever being hit with dirtkick.

They definitely don't use subdue because you need to hide to use subdue and they don't hide. Subdual strike is different though, I don't know about that.

I'm fairly certain that the "looks wild eye at you and attacks," or whatever they have for messaging is in fact MBlow.

It cuts stance and it also does more damage a la MBlow. I got lance MBlow'd once. It was the opposite of fun.

Yeah, someone pasted me the spin attack messaging and it doesn't match.

as long as they don't disarm....we're sure on that, right?

They neither disarm nor curse. The only way you can lose a weapon in a warcamp is by intentionally dropping it. They do cast weapon fire, so resist the urge to drop or disk your weapon and take your death like a man.

Yeah, they also implode. So keep that in mind. Another thing to remember is, unlike other hunting areas, they will degen with a player weapon in hand.

AKOE!
03-27-2009, 09:47 PM
will implode cause you to drop your weapon? I've never been hit with it before.

The Ponzzz
03-27-2009, 09:50 PM
No, but if you drop your weapon, there is a chance for it to be gone in the void.

AKOE!
