Mostly everyone knows I'm inept at fighting, having spent the last five years doing everything but fighting. So, I was reviewing my kata forms that worked not that long ago, and they no longer seem to work. I'd like to have my basic hunting attack back, because I feel pretty useless without knowing how to hit something.

CODE
kata perform nocturne slash1 smash2 slice3 dice4
You attempt the Kata form of slash1.
* ka tahto nocturne left
With a quick spin, you strike Nocturne, the morphling with an exquisite golden
tahto staff.
* ka tahto nocturne right
With a quick spin, you strike Nocturne, the morphling with an exquisite golden
tahto staff.
* ka kick nocturne right
With a quick spin, you kick Nocturne, the morphling with your right foot.

You have recovered balance on your right leg.
4674h, 4554m, 4026e, 10p, 18799en, 18800w, 1mo ex -Vote-
You have recovered balance on your right arm.
You have recovered balance on your left arm.
The smash2 Kata form is too complex for you to execute at this time.

You need 2 or 3 momentum to use that much weight in a kata, try "slash1 slash1 smash2" that should work. You only get that message when you don't have enough momentum to perform the kata.
Richter2009-07-25 03:30:51
Ah, I'm just low on momentum... I swore this combo used to work (mainly because Jozan taught it to me). I wonder if I'm using the most optimized hunting forms.

You need to be mo2 for the second form to work, and you start off at mo0. That is, in your example, you go from mo0 to mo1 (using your starter form), but to go from mo1 to mo2, you need to use that starter form again. THEN you can use further forms.

Aha, so kata perform nocturne slash1 slash1 smash2 slice3 dice4 dice4 dice4 dice4 works lovely against big tough things.

Like Nocturne. Who I forgot is no longer immortal, due to being a beast.
