There's a cure for blackout that isn't allheale? Damn. What is it? That might help. :/

EDIT: Hm, you edited the first bit, which my post replied to, out. Odd.

Yep. That will teach you to try not to respond so quickly. wink.gif
Shiri2005-04-10 19:32:54
Oh, heh, so there isn't a cure besides allheale? Damnit.
Terenas2005-04-10 22:56:02
Blackout isn't that bad if there are more than one other motes embedded, but if it's alone, or even with just another mote, it's freaking insane. This is from one of my latest fight against Shamarah.

a huge blob of disgusting slime lands near you, the concussion throwing you
from your feet. As you struggle to stand back up, you see the oozing mountain

Is it common to send the wake command before you fall asleep?

Edit: Nevermind. I didn't see the faeleaf.
Sylphas2005-04-11 05:20:01
Why not just shorten the time the blackout lasts? Instead of 8 seconds out of 10, why not 2?
Nayl2005-04-11 05:24:00
I concur, however, I still like the idea of needing 2 or 3 embedded first.
Or a slower timer for them, but that would nerf the other embedded motes.

Thorgal2005-04-12 09:41:57
So basically, when you aren't stunned, you're blacked out and prone, and when you aren't blacked out, you're stunned. Hajamin is still right: Don't fight mages.
Murphy2005-04-12 09:50:48
dont forget paralysed too thorgal.
Shiri2005-04-12 09:54:48
If you're blacked out by a Mage, they don't have runes, so there's no chance of gyfu paralysis.

And Druids don't get stun.

One or the other.
Akraasiel2005-04-12 10:21:18
Druids get sap+blackout plus the preexisting nasteh demesnes. >.>

Which is worse? Blackout+stun, or blackout+sap? Now take the rest of the demesne effects into account... Meh, its scary either way.
Unknown2005-04-12 10:28:54
Sap isn't that scary. Blackout + Sap really isn't that scary either, since when you've been sapped, you KNOW you've been sapped, blackout doesn't hide any part of that.
Murphy2005-04-12 10:37:52

I think they should have two separate patterns, but regardless, your system should know that when you are fighting a Druid, you are fighting a damned Druid, and regular aeon won't happen.
