Kidding

The stoneform took me off guard

Fleshstone bugs me.

Why did Geocast Chasm Shiro not work for like 6 tries and then suddenly succeed?

He was a statue, and couldn't be targetted.

Oh, it doesn't show you them reforming.

...so why did you fleshstone, Silvanus? *is missing something here* Does it strip defs or something as well?

Revan just beat me faster then silvanus, I thought chasm took longer not faster

No, it let the phantoma fflictions stack.

Oh.

Okay, that works.

This is why you don't teleport into a Geomancer's demesne that will Chasm at the first possibility. Why put yourself at a serious disadvantage by walking into a deathtrap.

Because none of them would ever step outside?

And that's when you draw and both sides get free defs! This is of course all taking Hajamin's advice of not losing to a Mage, don't fight in a demesne.

Phantoms and fleshstone is a great combo if you have power to spare. There's also an amazing defensive combo for mages that I won't divulge

I'm afraid of geomancers now, I have not died that fast to anyone since I was a newbie.

You probably would, but everyone else's instakills take some amount of setup. (I.e wrack, toad, absolve, soulless, that freezey thing, behead, bashbrains.)
