i'm quite happy personally, i'm hopin to master shadow mastery...but still waitin on Mfire

[Edaarin]

Heh, I'll have to check that out when I have a few extra hours. Where do you get garrotte wires?

[Celexei]

you just have to have a weapon to do it with, i believe something with a haft on it such as an axe or staff or so would probably work

[Bobmuhthol]

Are you serious? You'd think you need a garrotte to use the maneuver....

[Kuyuk]

someone who's trained in shadowmastery give me some idea of how good it is. (with a log)

Actually, if you've trained in any of the new skills, can you post logs here so we all know what's hot and whats not? :)

I get Stunmaneuvers, therefore I win. I have to listen to some warriors bitch and moan because they're too stupid to read, therefore I lose. :/

[Celexei]

i'm thinking the headbutt looks pretty nice, how often are you getting the instant kill bob?

[Bobmuhthol]

I've gotten lucky and done it to about 4/10 warfarers. Not all first try, though.

[Celexei]

would ya go for sayin its worth it? i haven't checked what professions can utilize it but sounds kinda warriorish..

[Weedmage Princess]

Any word if they're going to change the requirements for reps to get a rank or anything of the like for those of us doing guildwork still? Cause it's pretty weak the way it is now.. (unless you're a warrior with a shitload of stamina)

[Edaarin]

Yes.

[TheEschaton]

Well, from what I can tell now, stunmaneuvers don't seem to be dependent on the "stunmaneuvers system" any more, where each successful stunmaneuver adds an extra second to your rep times, til you rest sufficiently. It now seems tied to the stamina system, which has been replenishing quick enough for me to get 14 seconds all night long.

-TheE-

[Hulkein]

Hah, that's a fuckin awesome combat manuever. How many levels seperate you and Eahston, Ed?

[Weedmage Princess]

How many stamina points you have, E?

I'm getting screwed BIG TIME doing subdue reps. Takes 15 stamina points for the attempt...and right now I barely ever succeed. I'm cursing whoever had the idea to implement stamina into guild-learned skills right now and wishing horrible and humiliating diseases on them right now.

[Edaarin]

You think that's bad? Subdue for my rogue costs THIRTY. And he's MASTERED it in the guild. I have 102 after the recalculation (cman stamina if you haven't done it yet).

Eahlstan is level 45ish I think, my rogue's level 71

[TheEschaton]

Unsuccessful stunmaneuvers seem to take 4 stamina, successful ones 8 stamina.


-TheE-

[Weedmage Princess]

Do you figure your success rate to be high, Edaarin? Cause that's pretty fucked if they're costing you 30 stamina points and there's a pretty decent chance that you'll fail. If the probability that your attempt will be successful is high though, then I guess the cost is fine. Can't have people pulling off subdue (which went from the most useless skills to one of the best) every attempted and it only cost 15 points..heh.

My gripe of the day is: If you're working on a skill through the guild, you shouldn't have to suffer the stamina penalties. Atleast not for the insane reps they ask you to do. It's ridiculous.

[Hulkein]

I'd say that the garotte skill is worth it just as a roleplay tool. Sure he could just crush his head, but being a rogue and killing someone like that has to be pretty fun.

[Stunseed]

Where you get that wire, Edaarin?

[Edaarin]

They're east of the dinghy, 5k apiece.

Here's from the perspective of a person being wired.

Edaarin leaps from hiding to attack!
[Roll result: 282]
Edaarin flings a wire around your neck and snaps it taut. Painful!
You are stunned!
>
You gasp and struggle but the garrote draws tighter painfully.
You are stunned!
>
Sycrid just arrived.
>

>
You continue to struggle but the garrote draws inexorably tighter.
You feel a fair amount weaker.
You feel a fair amount less hardy.
You are stunned!
>'Heh
You are still stunned.
>
You feel yourself growing weaker from lack of air.
You feel significantly weaker.
You feel significantly less hardy.
The buzz of thoughts in your mind subsides.

It seems you have died, my friend. Although you cannot do anything, you are keenly aware of what is going on around you...

You realize that you have no outstanding favors which Lorminstra owes you, and without having accomplished a deed for Her, your soul is in danger of vanishing from the land forever!

...departing in 13 mins...
>
Sycrid just arrived.
>
Sycrid just went south.
>'Yikes
You say, "Yikes."

Belnia says, "That was quick."

2 minutes later...

You feel significantly stronger.

You feel significantly more durable.

I don't know how exactly they do it, but warcries while actually in the guild do substantially less damage to vocal cords. I've done upwards of 30 bellows without a problem. In the field, I can barely manage 10. They should put that in somehow. Won't help with critter reps, but those were always pretty easy anyway.
