Can someone please reconsider this? It seems so extreme. Even though Mitch says he double-blackouted, I find this verging on over-the-top. Admittedly, this is the longest blackout I've seen, but they're often around 8 seconds anyway..
Here are some more, single-blackouts.
Mitch slams his hand into the air in front of you, and you suddenly feel

Terenas2006-06-04 17:49:21
I thought they fixed this.
Acrune2006-06-04 17:51:16
I think they fixed it so it wasn't so long when used in demesnes, so you wouldn't have an 8 second blackout fired every 10 seconds in a demesne.
Soll2006-06-04 17:51:45
Yeah, it was fixed when done passively in demesnes. It's still too long for an active ability, considering that the only cure for blackout are either 1) skills(Not even sure if things like Gedulah/Green cure it), or 2) Allheale, which has a 20 second balance.
-> I would quite like this to be noticed by the Admin, so civility would be nice.

16 seconds.... yeesh.
If I ever got back into combat with hexes... I'd love to team with a Dreamweaver. Could stick about 10 afflictions and crotamine in that time.

That was just two motes. They stack. He could keep it going almost indefinitely, from what I know.
Even worse, I have now found out that motes go through pentagram/circle.

Can you still cure puncture aura with focus mind?
Terenas2006-06-04 18:23:39
It's Focus Spirit but the mana cost is so extreme that it's probably not worth using at all against Puncture.
Shamarah2006-06-04 18:25:27
Yeah, memoryloss is insane.
Mirk2006-06-08 13:56:43
If it's "clearly unedited", then why is there only timestamps at the beginning and end?
And does it really take 6 seconds for reishi to cure a punctured aura?
That seems a little long, at least from my experiences with it...

reishi, it's a delayed cure, nothing else does.
Sylphas2006-06-08 18:40:37
What's the base eq time on puncture? Default for a lot of things is 4 seconds. I don't think the problem is with puncture so much as with the blackout length.
Soll2006-06-08 21:29:18
Puncture balance is tiny. 1 second, 2 seconds max.

Pay attention to what you code sweety, in you last previous update you already coded eating resihi to cure punctured aura
Blackout mote is overpowered, but 25 room limit to it in a demense, I don't mind it really your never ever going to fight it out of arena to be honest. And if you do fight it ooa then your probally being teamed and die anyway.

You can cast it actively, outside a demesne.
It's not that bad though, is it?
ferlas2006-06-09 02:44:41
Fair enough but then thats 2 seconds to pierce, 3 seconds to blackout for what lets say 8 seconds? So they get to take advantage of 5 seconds of blackout, so that two afflictions they can put in or two damage moves, assuming they don't cure black out or shield. Actively its fine I think. Someone activly blackouts me avaer Ill just move or shield.
Althought I would like to see downgrades in the passive blackout department to give them more active and useful abilites that can actually be used in combat, Just to make combat more complicated and interesting really.

Unknown2006-06-09 02:46:36
The passive blackout was already downgraded once.
ferlas2006-06-09 02:47:12
Edit:I agree with you avaer its the almost near constant blackout they can get that is the probem, but anyway celestines with a blackout symbol can achieve the same thing anyway and thats mobile, So yea I suppose now I think about it why even bother complaining
