No it won't, because getting the "you can't regain balance" line actually increases the length of your balance recovery. Try it out and see.

No, it doesn't on anything except window (and that's eq).

Besides which on a dialup those 100 spammed commands are clogging up your upstream pipeline for a while. It's not so much the bandwidth; even a 9600bps connection can handle more text than a MUD client can spam. It's the packet latency.

Yes, it does. Estarra's even said so. Go CHANT FORTUNA, then spam ABJURE CLOAK until you get balance back. Time it. Then CHANT FORTUNA, and wait for the equi to come back, and time it. Trust me, it's a few 1/10s of a second off.

Cloak, window maybe. Not balance attacks.

I have dial-up, I notice the difference.

Just because you can't find a creative use for an ability doesn't make it worthless. For example, shieldstun is dependent on strength, but headslam isn't I believe, for weaker knights the stun time for shieldstun and headslam is about the same, but headslam is a bit faster. You can also headslam/raze/raze in one balance as well to take down rebounding/speed, making is a useful way to stop enemies from smoking faeleaf with stun but didn't want to switch to shieldstun.

Or for those of us who don't have shieldstun. This is why I made this thread, thank you.

Tremble before the 0.875 second stun.

i've used dialup for a long time now and a pretty dodgey one at that... ha. Compensation is i use a one at a time command system that checks for lag each time then eliminate all unnecessary commands.
like when eating herbs i dont outr herb eat herb inr herb. It's more like if herb in inv then eat herb else outr herb repeat, if herb eaten and herb in inv = 0 then outr herb. Its slower but at least my comp doesnt get ahead of my connection speed. *shrug*

and umm people use headslam... well sometimes.

I have 56k and have no problem with spamming commands. They still go though. Hell I type hermit and just hold enter sometimes
