Garrote update · on 6/8/2004 8:13:48 AM 614


Several new garrote items have been added to the list. Valid items are garrote, wire, rope, belt, beltstrap, cord, lanyard, scarf, strap, and tether. Garrote items are divided into 'true' garrotes (wire, garrote) and 'substitute' garrotes a.k.a. strangles (all others).

Using a strangle rather than a true garrote will increase the attacker's round times slightly. Strangles have a higher 'breakage' rate, and a lower major success (death-strangle) rate. Exact stats for each strangle vary from type to type. Strangles will not do neck slash damage on minor successes, but may bruise the target.

Garrote attacker is now subject to the Cloak of Shadows chant retribution effect, when a victim wearing CoS is stunned.

Wall of Thorns will scratch a garrote attacker, if the victim is wearing WoT. Poisoning of the attacker may or may not result.

Stoneskin provides some minor garrote protection via increased breakage/escape chances.

BOOO!!! HISSS!!!!

I HATE Cloak of Shadows.

I HATE Stone Skin.

I HATE Wall of Thorns.


I'm actually surprised that they haven't downtweaked it more... considering it's power.

my theory...CoS, WoT, and Stone Skin resistance is all unneccisary, don't piss off someone with garrotting ability and you won't have to worry about gettin your ass strangled.

They may as well feed all cman skills to CoS.

pretty much from the sounds of it they are...just one more way that Sorc's are more favored than any other profession, IMHO

Hmmm, my wire, or my belt, as long as you end up dead, I don't care. Though the belt reminds me eerily of my child hood.
