Okay. I need to work on this demesne thing. I have decided that my character will take the combat major in Aquamancers, and I need to get better at the melding and casting effects. Any tips?

I have a demesne list order and I'm thinking I will make aliases for it, since I use flood as an alias for aquacast forceflood, meld for aquacast meld, etc... I'm thinking I'll do something like "ef1", "ef2", etc so that they cast in the order that they -should- be, as well as have separate named aliases for stuff (like "floe" for aquacast icefloe, etc) I'm going to need to write everything down on the space around my laptop screen to remember.

I'm still relatively squishy, level wise, but working on it. Trying to do an insane amount of training but it doesn't help when I stupidly go AFK/screen freezes in UV and I die. Heh. I just have to laugh at that.

Tips from successful aqua melders?

I'm using Mush with a modified version of Treant. Any suggestions for curing that need to be added? (oh and does anyone know how to make the auto scroll work without having magiclist?) Oh, and fighting knights is a . I always get decapitated, and I don't know how to fix that.

Kthnxbai.

I had one alias that would just go down my demesne casting list and cast them ten seconds apart. I think I used temporary timers to do it, but it's been a while.

This same alias also set up a recurring timer that would let me know every ten seconds when my demesne effects hit. This is because I was a c0mb4t n00b.

Hrm. After such a long time, I hate to say it but I'm still a combat noob. ._. This is the first time I've ever gotten serious with it.

I don't know how to do timers, but I will give it a shot, heh. It would be better so I could focus on other stuff.

Is it just me or does Treant lag? It seems like it doesn't pick up on the afflictions as they come, but it could be because it's gagged. I'm not sure.

You will just make one Alias that calls them all. You could use the

That said, sometimes it would just be easier to use your 'cast all effects' spell.

As to the afflictions, some of them don't cure until after you diag them. Some -might- if you have the bashing script

You're using MUSHClient, right? You should be able just to use the DoAfter() function:



And so on for each demesne effect after the first. Should execute each line 10 seconds apart.

EDIT: Ayisdrowned

Poor drowned Ayisdra.

I'm not sure of the effect name but there is an effect in the aqua meld that you can use totime the rest of your effects. Make a trigger for the message it gives when it ticks and that trigger will go down a list and cast the next effect if you understand what I'm saying. Works the same way for geomancers. They can go by the rockslide (I believe is the right one) room message to cast the next effect. If you have to put one up in a hurry though yes it is easier to just use the cast all at once skill.

It's a common error to make your own triggers for highlights, gags, or whatever, and then not set them to 'keep evaluating,' which keeps Treant from tracking things.

I want to say the aqua effect name is sweetfount or something like that but it has been so long I don't rightly remember.

think it's healspring.

Also I would use my suggestion over the timer style for the simple reason that if you happen to lag it will cause your effects to be timed wrongly. To each their own, however.

Could very well be!

Healspring. I cast it first, have a highlight on it, then every time I see that little blue line I cast another effect in the correct order.

I think I need a highlight for "You have regained equilibrium" or whatever that line is... not sure. Would be annoying as Nil out of combat. Also need to fix the highlight for staff unwielding.

Can I be a bum and ask you how to set Treant to track wounds, or are you going to yell at me and demand payment for support?

My highlights all seem to work well... except one. >.> I should double check to make sure it's set right.

Healspring is the one that cures health, while Sweetfount is a power effect that cures afflictions from you and allies. Some Aquamancers probably will not cast this effect because of love potion. If you're a Telepath, Sweetfount would probably be very counter-productive for you. If you're a Telekinetic (which wouldn't surprise me since pretty much everyone is) than I guess it wouldn't be as bad. Though, in all honesty, I personally think the heart and soul for Mages lies in Phantasms. Since half of the Lusternian population uses Treant, you can use illusions to break systems very well. However, as an Aquamancer, I'd say you'll be fighting Ceren's system a lot more so you'll have a harder time breaking it with illusions. However, I am of the opinion that there is no system out there that has inpenetrable anti-illusion, so you'll just to have to experiment to see what breaks the systems of people like Ceren, Marie, and so forth.

And as noted above, use an alias where you set all of them at once. If you're being attacked while raising your demesne, you can do what I do and raise Regrowth (or the Aquamancer equilvilant of it) or you can run around your demesne raising effects while they chase you. This should actually be easier for you due to stuff like Whirlpool, Currents, Jellies Stun, and PhantomWalls.

If your Treant doesn't track wounds (or anything else), you've broken it. I only help bums who are least GR1 in the Serenguard.

Tsk tsk.

Though I think you've said it before that you're not proud that I'm using your system. >_>

Though you should be! I've survived being wailed on by ten or more people before.

Oh god, and they didn't kill you?

I'm a Druid. If there is one thing that I can at least say my class is good at is allowing me to survive multiple people in my meld. Squall and Fused Rad makes me laugh at groups.

But I mean... 10!! Surely they had SOME group instant kill? 5 man thornrend, 3 man telebomb, 3 man trample-sac... ? man spam succumb/amissio toadcurse.... actually, can you stack succumb?
