Almost had me

Aye, it is getting beyond stupid when you must label something a bug abuse just because you don't know what it does and ASSUME yet again that it must not be able to be used that way.

I know it takes 10 power, but that Trueheal sure does a heck of a lot for the chanter. I wonder if it could make me a sandwich, too...
Flow2005-01-19 23:07:56
Why does web have an eq cost? Of course, silly me. You're SUPPOSED to find ways around those. Being able to use two attacks straight after each other is clearly not intended.
Ethelon2005-01-20 00:50:33
You must be the divine Flow, please, allow me to make amends for how wrong I was.
Shiri2005-01-20 00:57:05
Because trueheal is quite clearly an attack, same as that darned overpowered healing skillset. mellow.gif
Sylphas2005-01-20 01:06:18
So for 10 power, you cure all your afflictions, heal all your health, AND get an extra attack?

Trade you Drawdown, Hexes, and Lowmagic for Trueheal. *nudge*
Unknown2005-01-20 01:15:46
All afflictions cured, increased full health and mana. Prismic barrier that blocks all attacks (minus instant kills). Trueheal is awesome.

edit: don't understand the second attack thing.
Drago2005-01-20 01:25:21
You get a second attack because it gives you balance (maybe) and equilibrium back when you use it, which probably -isn't- intended.
Unknown2005-01-20 01:26:38
Look at Amaru's log, Shiro, that is seriously wrong. He webs, then trueheals while off equilibrium, which instantly gives him equilibrium back, so he tosses soulless. Regardless if it is a bug or not, it shouldn't work like that.
Unknown2005-01-20 01:27:27
Meh, I never said it was right and I didn't even know about that with trueheal.
Ethelon2005-01-20 03:12:54
No offence, I am not going to waste 10 power just to save 2 seconds in time.
Unknown2005-01-20 03:28:07
10 power to kill someone pretty much guaranteed is worth it. Using that 10 power to web and fling soulless at once is certainly more likely to kill someone then a 10 power allhex.
Unknown2005-01-20 03:31:33
Um. thats not the purpose of Trueheal and that isn't the reason why we use 10 power to use it.
Unknown2005-01-20 05:15:58
I must agree with the people saying it's a bug, as trueheal is meant to be a defensive thing. Using it offensively might not have been intended. In any case, if it wasn't then I'm sure we'll see it changed.

You save as much time as you want. Just don't do anything after putting it up. Oh, and of course the healing all health, mana and affs is useless, as well.
Thorgal2005-01-20 10:35:41
Far as I know it:

-brings health and mana above maximum, as if you'd used ablution and lustration... and fully heals ego.
-completely heals all your limb wounds.
-cures all afflictions.
-surrounds them with an imprenetrable prismatic barrier for as long as they remain motionless.
-works when you're off equilibrium and balance.
-restores their equilibrium and balance.

It's a nice ability, for bashing, offense and defense.
Unknown2005-01-20 13:31:34
Don't forget it works off of equilibrium and balance as well.

Edit: Did the change to Serpent in lowmagic (meaning you can now do things behind a prismatic barrier), affect Trueheal as well?
Unknown2005-01-20 14:31:14
People have used their best skills in different ways. Amaru found a way to use trueheal that was offensive. He has done nothing wrong.
Amaru2005-01-20 15:15:56
Umm how is it an instant kill, whoever said that? I could use that 10 power to inquisition, nevermind slip a quick web in there. Let's see... soulless takes... 6 seconds? Writhe takes.. 3? 4? I'm never even gonna use this again, since inquisition is obviously far more effective. I was just testing it out.
Ethelon2005-01-21 02:46:19
Don't try to explain Amaru, the whiners have found out an Abusable skill and expect us to use it for such crappy results...ohhh, wait, me and Amaru don't need it to kill most of the people in the realm....and I say most meaning I've yet to find one I would have to use it against in such a pathetic way. If I use Trueheal it will be in the case I'm losing the fight and need to save myself from dieing. Those of you who jump right on something that's NOT EVEN BEEN USED YET and say it needs to be changed need to worry about the other bugs being abused and go rant on them
