Within a ruined water temple.
Within this looming and grand space you cannot but comprehend the cataclysm that
has decimated this once peaceful temple. Towering, rather ambiguous merian
statues stand in a archaic relief, supporting the floor to ceiling at all
cardinal points, posed in figurative gestures embracing enormous opalescent
icons of pearl and gold outstretched as if guarding the space within. Several of
the exits lead into the center of the space in an elegant circular quatrefoil of
curvaceous points. The cavern ceiling is a now collapsed and fragmented
colonnade of elaborate bronze and gold frond relief. Interestingly enough, one
of the heads from these large monumental statues has plummeted and rolled into
this basin possibly from a deep upturning of this mountain. Elaborate detail has
been intrinsically preserved even within its tarnish on this magnificent scale
of merian proportions save for a decimated nose. All this pales in comparison to
the crystalline waters that encompass this depression, brimming with potent
energies ebbing against the monumental surface. It is from here the only light
source is originated, stretching across the deep cavernous walls, pillars, and
the now ruined constructions.

stability and support to the city as well as a sense of ancient awe. Faint
gouges and grooves have been scratched into the sheer embankment, as if
something or someone has tried frantically to escape the dark waters. The

You have been defeated and are thrown out of the Arena.

Funny how you acquisitio'ed the cauldron when he dropped it the first time.

Your triggers totally ignored rigormortis, which prevented you from running away when you really had to.

You also did nothing when hexes hit you - you either should diagnose (which happened only once during this fight, when it was already too late), or reflexively apply cures to most popular hexes.

Why wasn't your angel attacking?

I don't think you understand. I was asleep for a good portion of the fight. And it's too difficult to cure rigormortis or anything like that in choke (which, in case you don't realize, is an uncurable room-wide aeon).

And my angel wasn't attacking because I had it on passive to gather soulless rubs. It took me several spars to realize that soulless really wasn't the best tactic to use on him and I tried using other stuff, but screwed up. I need to spar again and try sticking aeon to stack it with choke, which would be pretty brutal.

This:

Your left leg suddenly stiffens and loses all feeling sensation, rendering it
useless.

Happened long before first of these:

You quickly pull yourself out of sleep.
or
You are asleep and can do nothing. WAKE will attempt to wake you.

And you weren't even going asleep until about half of the combat or so, when you were already done for. Well, you were put to sleep before, but immediately woke up thanks to metawake. What messed up your curing was choke, not sleeping.

I love Choke. I'm glad Diamante isn't afraid to use it but rather sees the insane potential it has for Shadowdancers.

And for anyone (and I cannot believe these people still exist) that argues succumb is sub par, it totally owns in Choke.



I suggest eating marjoram, sipping choleric, and applying liniment on this message if you have herb/purg/salve balances. The only affliction it will miss is epilepsy, which you can either focus off -or- just cure on the secondary message.




Amaru taught me that a good way to work Soulless is to start off with -1- blast of angel (stupidity/anorexia) followed up with Heretic. This will give you some affliction building to slow down the target while you rub... still saving you 4 double angel hits for later.

That's actually a pretty good idea, I'll have to try that out. Losing one hit of wrath wouldn't really hurt me.

And do people exist that think succumb sucks? Succumb is insane.

Lash is a fire and forget ability. It will consistently drain more than succumb. Succumb, however, will mess you up in a rather demoralizing fashion if you're rendered unable to cure it, much more so than being unable to sip mana for lash.

This is only the case when a target has trans magic. If you lack trans magic, succumb will usually drain far more than lash/amissio, with a chance to hit twice before cured.

With trans magic, I believe succumb hits for about the same as lash... but it is slightly slower. In any case, succumb tends to be far better because when going for a sleep lock, you only have to cast it a single time and you can otherwise concentrate on holding the target down. For example in a Moondancer aeon/sleep lock, you have to keep the target asleep, aeoned, and lash periodically. In a Shadowdancer choke/sleep lock, you need to choke/succumb, and do nothing else except whore sleep... making it better imo, but more power intensive and not as mobile.

Slaugh doesn't give epilepsy, I found that doubelwhammying epilepsy and scabies in choke with shuck hitting blacklung is fantastic for balance/eq near locks to prevent a tumble command getting through randomly. Backed up with sleep and succumb I found it very effective.

Test slaugh and see. I did with Ceres once and made a full list of afflictions - and epilepsy was there. Dunno though, I could be wrong.

Very very wrong. Diamante and I tested it, about 70% of the time, Succumb ticks instantly before the cure even goes through. Even without the additional passive drain, it drains almost as much as a lash. Succumb consistently drains faster than lash.

Nice to see diamante stuck with shadodancer. I remember a few fights we had when we both had switched from warrior to nihilist/shadowdancer and we had plenty of fights. It ended up with either of us running out of power, or i'd accidently stumble into a room with choke. Soulless won't work on diamante because he has shadowdance flight (has it been nerfed yet?) You really have to rock his curing to win, and by now his curing should be pretty good i would guess.

How's the state of guardian/dancer combat at the moment anyway?

"Diamante points an athame dagger at you and a beam of flickering light shoots forth, covering you with colourful flame."

Is this faeriefire? And in any case what does faeriefire do? Help warriors miss less?

faerie fire is useful for people who have shroud up. Allows me to see hidden actions such as waking up leaving the room, which lets me use my sleep hexes more efficiently rather than guessing he's woken up or allowing the victim an action before I notice he's awake.

I miss Faerie Fire. It is a very useful yet under prized skill. I also hate when runists whine about the light rune. It is fast and soooo useful.

Who whines about that lovely toy? daeg.

We don't whine about it. Hell, we switched it in for Feoh on totems, after I pointed out that masochism does nothing while you're paralyzed, and if you can cure the totem, it also does nothing. At least, we said we were going to, I haven't actually heard any follow-up or checked.

No, most of us who pay attention did.

Masochism is a mental affliction which can prolonged stupidity if they are focusing it off. I really don't see any advantage to it on totems...

If you're aiming to stack mental afflictions, masochism is still a bad choice, when we have dementia and confusion to pick from as well. And with allheale, focus, and herbs, it's not really hard to cure a totem, regardless of what we stick on it. If no defenders are there, totems aren't going to stop anyone who cure. If we are there, I'd rather the raiders not have shroud then have an extra affliction doing nothing but making it a tiny bit harder to cure.
