Oh, how I loves me some Cloak of Shadows

[subzero]

Just recently started hunting Nelemar and this seems to happen fairly frequently:


In an awe inspiring display of combat mastery, a triton combatant engages you in a furious dance macabre, spiralling into a blur of strikes and ripostes!

The triton combatant collapses, gurgling once with a wrathful look on her face before expiring.

1 mstrike from a previously unharmed combatant. 26 damage to me vs 15 seconds of RT and death to it.

[Jace Solo]

What script is giving you the RT and health bumps?

Is there something that can tell you that for all spells? That'd be wonderful to actually have some sort of life bar for mobs.

[subzero]

It's 711.lic. It shows the health loss as a percentage because that is how 711 does damage. Same for the RT, based on lore and endroll. As for other spells... I think sorcerers are the only ones that have 'hidden damage' that is not shown in the combat output; there's a 702.lic for MD, as well. I suppose you could narrow down the health of mobs enough to make scripts calculate and display a rough percentage of damage dealt per attack, as well as a current health total, but this was something much simpler (that I had no part in writing, mind you).

[Queleri]

<3 711 & 702.lic

[rolfard]

if you are 2x spell aim, aim right arm and chant retribution 708. that combatant would have gotten only one lash from the cloak of shadows but the mstrike would have ended there...

[subzero]

Yep, and when a defender or elemental comes along? I'm bent over the ole barrel.

[Gibreficul]

I think crit_type_tracker does all that and more. If any of you use it regularly, and spot bugs, lemme know. kthkz.

What else do ya want?

A happy ending.

Yep, and when a defender or elemental comes along? I'm bent over the ole barrel.

Prime example:


[Ruined Temple, Third Floor]
Standing between a pair of columns is a marble statue of a graceful woman. Her billowing robes have been blackened by flame and a stump remains where her right arm broke off. Tiny shards of colored glass lay at her feet, blown in from further along the corridor judging by the irregular pattern they form. You also see a spectral triton defender, a spectral triton defender, a silver-rimmed black steel buckler and a crumbling arch.

Stunned, prone, 20+ seconds of RT, and I took 169 damage. One defender dead, the other left with enough RT for me to run back to get healed with 15 health. Had the one not died, I'd have most likely taken a dirt nap.

[Jace Solo]

I guess I was looking for it to give an approximate amount of HP left for the mobs after each swing. I suppose though, that without having number they start with (which I assume we'd only get through testing), we couldn't know how much they had left and the script couldn't recall it for us.

These didn't tell you how much it had left anyway they told you how much cloak took away. I love Crit Tracker. Thanks for that script.

That's the problem with what you're wanting. Making a script to do the calculations wouldn't be that tough. For that matter, finding an average health total wouldn't be very difficult, just a huge pain in the ass and time consuming going through all the critters.
