Ok, here follows an account of how I was perma-paralyzed with a PASSIVE effect. And yes, I might have survived longer if I was properly healing, but that's not the point.

brown to gold and back to green within the blink of an eye and various animals
jump into adulthood before returning to infancy. The biting winds tear across
the terrain uprooting trees but they simply return to their original places when
the wind changes direction. The entire scene is one of chaos and noise. A royal

I believe the title explains my sentiments well.

Sadly its another one of those skills that requires a near trans skill to have any defense against. At fabled discipline I still take 2.2 seconds to focus and am near permalyzed. Also the piss off is the fact that yo ucan't disrupt it at all(which I still beleive to be a bug or atleast makes you a tool to use).

Two interesting points to notice:
1. The first time I unparalyze myself, I enter the north command IMMEDIATELY and the dagger hits before I move. Just as an example of the timing here.
2. The dagger also hits Twice while I'm still paralyzed, so even if my focus time was quicker it could still potentially hit me with this timing again.

One dagger runs on a 4-second cycle, the other runs on an 8-second, so you're only getting paralyzed after 2 seconds, 4 seconds, and 8 seconds.

Torak pretty much summed it up you need high discipline to be able to not die to this tatic.

Or high resilience for shrugging

How do you get rid of the dagger?

Disruption scroll.

Or both.

But then all of a sudden you're overpowered. NERF KYMIR, MY CHEAP TACTIC ISN'T WORKING ON HIM, KTHX.

Unless of course they are deaf...

Being deaf blocks getting stabbed by daggers? That's odd.

and that's when we hex with sensitivity

You will also be owned by transfix if you don't put sixth sense back up. Yay for us, we have fascinate gems!

No, it makes reading disruption scrolls ineffective...since the mage is deaf

Oh, ya. I knew that.

Do you actually have to be deaf, or can you have thirdeye up?

EDIT: Err and by thirdeye I meant sixth sense, of course.

Actual deafness.
