I've put next to no effort into PvP here, and I have a two year old system.

I can't begin to say how irritating it was when everything I did was blocked by several things. In the time before I died the first time, and then as you can see in the second time around, I was either stunned, off eq, stupid, or something. The entire time I was trying to RUN, to get to any other room in the manse, because I'd be safe.

So, someone tell me how to not have this happen again? And though it doesn't show me spamming trying to exit in every possible direction, I was earlier, and it kept saying the exit wasn't there. Someone explain that too, hrm?

Laaaame.

Richter, my first thought is this. You don't know even what telepaths do ,much less how to cure them. If you haven't put any effort into your combat skills what so ever then this argument isn't really valid. I could say the same for bards, I haven't really honed my skills towards them , so I have no idea how to cure. If you don't pvp then don't complain. My suggestion towards you , spar them more to figure out what stat is being effected then work from the ground up.

So he shouldn't complain that he doesn't even get a chance to move when one starts attacking him? Alright, one shot, and that was due to the flooding of an aether fulcrux that stopped him leaving.

I believe I asked how to prevent what happened.

Mindbursted, it is 1/2 ego instakill


Don't like that when you vitaed you were without ego to start again, that leaves you open for another insta mindburst though

edit - way to cure it is to keep bromides up, sip sip sip, eat berries, anything so you don't go under 1/2 ego

You're right, she could have just bursted me again for the double kill. OP much?

I'll try to remember to keep the ego up.

if you're a low magic user, invoke serpent since you're omni trans. if not you can spam invoke circle psi or evoke pentagram psi I think not sure of the highmagic syntax and that should buy you a little time since it's just a basic shield against telepath attacks

He should complain, then whet his sword and seek revenge. Bloody, terrible, relentless revenge. Patient, insidious, persistent revenge. By sword, by purse, by open war and secret poison.

The portal issue seems buggable. Still not sure about the physical exits being apparently absent. Glamours could make them seem absent, but wouldn't have stopped you moving. I only see you trying to move nw and portal exit in this excerpt, but a nw exit shows up when you ql.

Even if you had waterwalking stripped, you should have gotten a different message than no exit.

Vitae -should- give you back ego.. dying should always return it, period.

Gah blasted forums not recalling me

Ya, this just looks buggy. Flooded aetherplex should not stop you from leaving, that is a bug. You should be able to see other exits, even in a deluged room you should see the message about water being in the way. You should have regained ego after death.

As for how to survive...against telepaths, always keep your ego up. They throw out afflictions and damage only as an aside to get your ego down. If you have a gust enchant, gust her away, preferably right after psychicvampirism (the lethargy message) or mindblast (which hits health, mana, and ego). Because she's using psionic balance, it could take her several seconds to recover the balance to move again, giving you time to heal. Normally I'd say get yourself out of the room, since warriors usually don't do well one-on-one with mages in their demesnes, but obviously you couldn't do that.
