I consider rune fusing part of a demesne.

And... Violent rain slams into your skin so hard that they hit you like hot needles.

I thought that stripped a defense, drinking frost blocks it or something?

Health sip- 546
Mana sip- 387

The health sip was possible if his max health was 3826. But the mana sip was a little low. You might want to check to see if your vials are still diluted, Amaru.

Jello-
Sip frost to put frost defense back up so he won't take 1500 damage from a heat staff.

The mana sip hit his max. It's impossible to sip yourself above your max.

I'm glad someone posted this. My zMUD crashed while I was taking the same pounding and I lost the buffer. Should've been logging, of course. At least now I got a few of the triggers I missed.

I'm surprised no one has commented on the pegasus that breaks three limbs in a single round without even taking any of Ceres' balance, though. What's a little uncurable illusory phantom between friends, compared to that?

Better look out, or I'll... haymaker. Ha. Fear my wrath.

Do you know what trample is?

It takes over 5 seconds to regain balance from.

Yea... the problem with my paralysis was the remnant of an old rune system, which I've finally established...

Saw the 'ger' from You are no longer stunned. right before a rune message, and took it to be anorexia. Hence the focus mind... that's all fixed now, and guess what, Ceres won't spar me again. Not sure if you were implying I have bad healing, Jello, but that was a one-off.

You honestly expect me to spar you after that?

There's nothing to imply man, you were doing focus mind instead of focus body. Probably not a mistake you'll make again.

As for drinking frost... I was sure needle rain stripped random defenses, in fact I've stood in it and tested it before. So it strips frost first and then other things? Because I know it doesn't strip just frost.

P.S. Join the Nihilists.

P.S.S. Oh wait, I thought it was Amaru who got kicked out. Join the Geomancers.

It was the order, not the guild/city.

Also, needlerain strips random elemental defs such as waterwalking, levitating etc...but, presumably, frost first.

Nah, it's all good. I fixed that minor bug and beat her...

Due to a minor bug of my own. 1:1, Amaru. Next time.

People were calling me crazy when I said Aquamancers were one of, if not the most powerful class after the upgrades. There just hadn't been any Aquamancers to take advantage of it.

I realized they had some pretty awesome fighting potentials, but it was the city and guild that really sucked. That and it's hard to hunt as an Aquamancer since most of them are Merians. Maybe they should get diamondskin like in Achaea!

And I'd sip frost before anything else since I do have level 2 fire weakness, but you could always put up waterwalking or drink fire instead. Damn weak Merians.

The wave thing strips waterwalking.

Strips all elemental defs, I heard from Tuek/Nars/Tirenae. Waterwalking, waterbreathing, levitation, the lot.

You mean the waves that knocks you down? That's just like Tremors, it just knocks the target onto the ground.

And yeah, needlerain will randomly strip one of your elemental defenses including- Levitation, Frost, Fire, Waterwalking, Elementshield, Spiritshield, and I think Draconis (not 100% sure).

Ceres is the highest damaging mage in the game

With Merian 18 int plus level 1 EQ, as well as the damage artifacts as well as the champion staff...of course she's gonna lay the smackdown.

As a mugwump i've got a lvl 3 fire resistace, she does like 55-60% of my max hp per staff.

This means for me i can't sumon her into a statue in my demesne, ecause she kills me from damage alone.

Its hardcore yes! overpowered? I'm not so sure about that how bout we get proofs fixed and we'll see about reducing that fire damage.

None of you are taking into account that she has the champion arty staff and a level 2 scepter. With both combined, yes her damage will be very high on a person without frost. When she just had the scepter, her damage was 400 on me (A dracnari). Once she gained the champion staff, her damage doubled to 800. So keep in mind that she does not do the damage of an ordinary aquamancer.

Bah, I should have waited to I got to the bottom of the post to comment. Ravin beat me to it.

When the hell are the warrior champions going to get an upgrade to our helms. I've tested and re-tested; absolutely worthless.

Aquamancer's staff is 100% heat.
