How many people have Lover's tarot or peace? You're talking about skills that only Guardians or Mages can have, what about warriors? Running and flying and others can be applied to other instant kills, so that point is moot. Instantkills like Judgment, which is perhaps the closest to Chasm still can be stopped by web/prone/sleep, where as Chasm cannot. This in itself makes it far better than anything else, including Soulless due to the fact that you don't have to use at least half a minute to prepare. I don't see why you can't admit that Chasm is great and the new Aquamancy ability, though possibly powerful in the right hands, cannot even come close to par with Chasm? Considering that they in fact -downgraded- Chasm should possibly give you a hint that maybe the admins are agreeing that it's too good? I dunno, possibly.

It's been made 2 seconds longer.

Boohoo?

I'm glad Chasm was downgraded, it was too good. I just felt cheap when I used it...

Well I'm glad the acquas got a nice instakill but if they get that maybe its not too much to ask for shield to stop freezing and needle rain?

Last time I checked 5 + 5 = 10 and that would be the exact numbers from chasm. Now, adding 1 to each of those would make it 6 + 6, which if I math is correct would be 2 seconds longer, or 12 seconds.

Anyways.

I'm glad Chasm got downgraded too, a certain Geomancer bitched to me, and I told that certain Geomancer that it was too powerful with our demesne.

Now, maybe they'll upgrade Geomancer's staff damage. Or runes.

cmon revan, lets play race the chasm now!

I'll use newbiekick

OMG, that's so unbalanced now. Warriors have a huge advantage now in Race the Chasm.

Does this mean Shieldsmash is going by bye also?

Hope so!

(Ack, another ability for Bonecrushers, though. :/)

Personally, I hope it does. Not that we need another ability, but people get fussy when you smash their shields.

Shield smash sounds like an interesting skill... smashdoors should be implemented, chopdoors too, chop shield as well.

Shield should stop ALL demesne effects period, just like it stops all guardian attacks. That would be one step to balancing demesnes. I'm pretty sure all Druid effects are already stopped by shielding.

I would agree with that too

Warriors allready have smashdoor

Coolest. Thing. Ever.

The staging grounds of the Klangratch Tournies.
Superimposed over this location, an ethereal forest reaches up to the sky. A dragon turtle rests here, an air of majesty on its features. Gazing out behind eyes of ice, the body of Nayl is frozen solid, preserved here in the middle of some act. Siren Nayl, Catalyst of Night is here. She wields an athame dagger in her left hand and an iron shield in her right.
You see a single exit leading out.

p body
The body of Nayl is frozen solid, preserved in the middle of some act. The mouth gapes open in terror beneath eyes that are cloudy white orbs of ice.
It has 7 months of usefulness left.
It weighs about 31 pounds.

Oddly, though, it appears even though she died in the arena...

Bet it'll be getting crowded there soon

If shieldsmash goes, pooka should follow.

Yaay. My idea did get accepted.

I think shieldsmash is usable if your not a mean person. If someone is using a shield. I sometimes give it a rap or two of shieldsmash. It is often enough to get the person to remove their shield, but not enough to fully smash it. I think...
