A mere scratch indeed.

Yes, the completely retarded amount of damage Warriors are able to do is astounding.

Does Ixion have those elemental runes, or were you under omen?

EDIT: And why the heck would you amissio him?

Amissio to get the mana to infidel.

Not that I needed it, as it turns out.

He has lightning runes, but I wasn't omened.

Proofs really need to start working.

And they had better do a damned lot.

But then again, Moondancers will be even more screwed due to magic proofings. Yay, the ~400 damage transcendent moonburst will do even less!

But anyway, it's my opinion that elemental runes should have never even been introduced. I believe the logic behind them, was to allow Warriors to be more effective at killing other Warriors by getting around armor, except it improved damage a little to much, and screwed over non-warrior targets. Especially lightning runes. Two of the most popular races have a large weakness to it, there are NO defenses against it (they should add a lightning vial, seriously), and the only two races that have a resistance to it are never used. I would have prefered to see an artifact that increased the chances of venoms afflicting. You can defend yourself against multiple venoms by good curing, however, at a certain point, there is nothing you can do about to much damage.

How much mana does infidel take? O_o

About 1000, I'm pretty sure.

Pah, your moonburst hits me for around 1300 damage every what, 3 seconds as a mugwump?

And I still say knights are just fine, with proofs they'll do a load less, and if you can't tank straight being hacked on, shield, rebound, entangle and RUN RUN RUN (since that seems to be an accepted tactic for balancing according to hajamin).

(rant)
Yes, as long as you can RUN AWAY from a class, since it's obviously advantaged, it's all fair and balanced.

Going further along the divine's logic, knights CANNOT be overpowered, as they have limited ways to trap you, so even if they'd do 3000 damage a jab, and you'd be able to run, they'd still be balanced!
(/rant)

Ahh, that felt good.

Do you have any Magic learned? If not, that's your fault. Perhaps the Magic skill reduces Magic damage way to much, whereas Resilience reduces damage very little, and instead focuses on venom shrugging (which was apparently downgraded).

Well, Tuek always says the amount of damage moonburst does to other moondancers, who have the best magic damage resistance in the game, as if the gods can't look at the code and see his numbers are innacurate. It's not like he's a mugwump for no reason.

I'm actually a Changeling for one, and I choose to be Mugwump for two reasons. One is for bashing. The other is because it is the only way I can get -any- use out of Hexes. And trust me, I do similar amounts of damage to non-Moondancers as well. I had Marsu hexlocked, aeoned, asleep, webbed, paralyzed, in essence totally screwed, in his manse, and it still took me like 10-12 moonbursts without him sipping.

Actually, the problem that Tuek was addressing is that moonburst can be easily reduced by the Magic skillset... and reduced a lot. Whereas Resilence does reduce damage for Knights, Knights do so much more damage than a moonburst, there is a huge gap when comparing the two.

I'm also pointing out, that resilience reduces damage by a far smaller percentage then Magic reduces magical damage.

Actually, Magic does very nearly nothing.

A human and I, him with inept magic, tested a cosmicfire against each of us once from the same person.

I was an Igasho.

Igasho with trans magic - 400 damage (or something)
Human with inept magic - 454 damage (or something)

54 less damage from 2 racial levels of resistance and 300 credits sunk in a skill to reduce the damage.

I swear Ceres, stop posting without thinking. Damage is also based off max health. The more health, the more damage. As an Igasho, you had +5 more con than as a human... thus the reduction was a LOT bigger than 54 damage.

That doesn't make sense. I take less then 400 from cosmicfire completely undeffed.

Edit: Good point Narsrim, forgot about max health as well.

The respective levels were such that I only had 300 more health than him.

Were either of you deffed? I still don't believe it, since I take less then 400 from a cosmicfire with no defenses, as say a Mugwump.

Neither of us deffed.

The guy was an Imperial Merian.

Ixion doing too much damage to you? Looks like a job for... NUMEN.
