He hit me once.....

*CRY*

Technically once, Pulp.
But physically twice.
It's alright Ialie.
Not your fault you picked faeling

SAP!!!! Oh yeah vine.. you cant cleanse while prone

Should have sapped right after swarm hit, then hit him with vines.

Also, nature curse is probably a better bet against knights, since it avoids their armor and putrefaction and whatnot.

There's not much you can do against that kind of damage, it nearly instakills me as well, with 3200 health and putrefaction.

Can only do the already mentioned suggestions, soon as you see him, sap him, hope the bees hit, then tie him up and start nature cursing.

That's why elemental runes should be reduced in effectiveness! I can understand Pulp doing good damage, but 3k+ through putre and chainmail is just wrong...

The elemental runes boosted his damage with about 110%.

Hmm, got any testing to prove that? Just making up a scenario.

If his normal damage is 1000, and the armor's reduction is at 50%, then 500 was reduced by armor, and only 500 damage goes through. If it was half physical/half lightning. Then 250 out of 500 damage is taken off via armor, and 500 elemental damage goes through. That's 750 damage, 50% more.

I'm too lazy to test all that crap, but before the runes, he was hitting me for 350 per blow with putrefaction, after the runes he was mangling me for 700 per blow with putrefaction.

Same with Daevos, before the runes, 350 with putrefaction, after the runes, 700 with putrefaction.

I get hit with 1000 per blow sometimes. Damn lightning weakness.
I can only imagine Daevos's level of damage since he has more strength than Murphy and probably higher damage broads.

Ixion, anyone?

See my logs.

Ialie, did you fuse motes/runes? I found that fusing helps tons against knights. Especially Murphy, since he's prone to getting his mana sucked dry (no offense Murphy!)

Perhaps we should petition to have artifacts boost damage based on their cost. Since putting elemental runes on weapons (750cr) can boost their damage about 80-110% as people have stated, how about having my scepter boost my damage by 160-220% (1600cr).

-This is a joke, but people may have a valid complaint-

Well, unlike your staff, swords can be resisted, dodged, parried, shieldriposted and rebounded..so damage from swords should most definately be higher than any magically sourced assault. Warriors also don't have a single passive effect, so swords doing the double of your staff is really the least to be expected.

Knight doing good damage is fine, knights able to do 3+ damage in 2 swings do not. I can expect to take 1200 to 1500 from an artied out Aquamancer's staff with my level 2 fire weakness and not complain since they have other passive abilities. But taking 2k+ every 2 swings from elemental runed weapons is just wrong.

A. Warriors can surge to double their health, increasing their health and regeneration in the process.
B. What need are their for passive effects if you can kill a person with two combos with ease?
C. Warriors do have secondary effects called wound afflictions. Many archetypes do have a means of sipping health and casting a spell to cure wound afflictions, but Mage/Druid Archtypes do not. Therefore, the last two mentioned do have to choose between sipping health or apply health to wounds.
D. The complaint about the damage being high maybe valid, and my post was to quickly throw out the counter that many warriors use about paying 700 credits for said damage. If it is insane for me to have double my damage at a price of 1600 credits, it is quite possibly insane for them to have that benefit at less than half the credit cost I mentioned.

Nah, it isn't wrong Terenas, especially not with a level2 weakness to those elemental swords. It's not like Murphy beats everyone, most of the top fighters, don't even get dented by him.

But if you're getting beaten on by god-like, lightning elemental weapons, while having a huge penalty to lightning, you'll be hurting..otherwise it wouldn't be a penalty.

And Geb, I've no clue what your post was about, I said where as your damage nearly can't be stopped at all, a warrior's damage can easily be stopped. So their damage should be high, yours shouldn't, even though it is.

I have level 2 fire weakness going against Shamarah with champion staff + knowledge + war blessing and I took 1200 damage every staff. And here I take on average 1600 to 2k from Icarus and Murphy's lightning flails, up to 2400 with pulp. And not mentioning with 108 blunt protection fullplate.

That's not Shamarah's staff doing low damage, that's Moon giving you superior magical resistance, i.e. drawdown and aura..I took over 2000 from Shamarah's staff every 3 seconds, and he did not have any artifacts.

Aura is magic damage so is resistance, the only thing I got from Moon is Drawdown that might affect fire damage.
