Just looking for some tips...
I'm not really enjoying this type of combat, but I really hate to give up on it already.

hokay...
It's obvious you didn't have much of a plan going into the fight. What was your invest? It wasn't anything to stick aeon...so you were just flinging aeon left and right without any real strategy, hoping his system would shut down and not cure it. Have an echo that ticks before your demon is going to hit. Darksilver since you have a gorgulu symbol to strip speed (won't always work, but usually it does) have demon set for anorexia/impatience/impatience/stupidity (at least that's what I used...pick something you like and work well with) if quicksilver is down, aeon right before the demon hits...less than a second before. Anything greater than that and they will probably cure out before the demon hits. When the demon hits with anorexia/impatience shield stun if you are aslaran. In aeon, it is AMAZING, wait for demon to hit again, hit with aeon again to reset it's timer. Voila, you have an aeon lock. Soulless or quickened amissio's for a wrack. Or Torture if they are squishy. You can also hit with scabies on your symbol, ecotplasm, and crucify for a pretty good lock. If you see your aeon lock stick and they aren't curing, I used to reinvest with double darksilver to sleep them, then crucify...so they'd keep sleeping. Just whore shieldstun and redoing aeon so it dosen't wear off and they will bleed out. You also have active anorexia with the gorg symbol..which is nice. Aeon before an impatience/stupidity, anorexia with symbol when you get balance. I rambled on there but that's some of the basic Nihilist tactics. Thoros and Lyco can give you better strategy than me.
Also...talkan is no stranger to Nihilist so basic strategies usually don't work. Play around with the aeon lock and it's various ingredients. Hate to tell you, but as a Nihilist in a world of improving systems...combat kind of sucks.

Thanks for the pointers. I will try some of the things you suggested. And yes, Nihilist are frusterating.

My favorite invest was anorexia/stupidity/paralysis/impatience. This however only works if you have learned how to 'time' your demon's initial hits. I'll leave that to you to find out however.
My second favorite was quicksilver/quicksilver/anorexia/stupidity, since when quicksilver hit you can time aeon precisely with anorexia/stupidity, then next demon round your target will fall asleep.
Drop contagion, activate coldaura, always use sting, and carry a scroll of curses around for some extra afflicting power, and you've got yourself an arsenal Sadly, however, Nihilists are one of the weaker classes, so becoming good as a nihilist will require loads of practice and a good, thinking mind.

I think I had something decent to say but I'm starting to forget. Oh! use domination. Talkan stop rubbing, then use your symbol domination. Order Talkan Ind soulless. there's really tons of useful things to force people to do. I had 40+ aliases just to change my pooka variable to something different back when I was a wiccan.
Unknown2008-01-02 08:21:04
She dosen't have the symbol to dominate. She'd have to invest it...which would be bad.

Poor Luxi. Despite being male IG and having put up pictures showing him in very male pictures (I don't think a woman would go showing off pics of lapdance contest where it's their lap being used.) he is still mistaken for a girl.

I know! Haha, and I thought Krellan was still a wiccan? I'll post some more logs tonight and we will see if I'm making any progress.
Krellan2008-01-03 00:56:14
I went druid and I like it as well. I find both wiccan and druid are suiting my style. I'm the gingerbread man.

You should run and shield when you get hit by infidel in order to avoid inquisition. Or run and shield on heretic, if you want to be really careful.
