It took me a little time to find the arrow too, actually. About 5 minutes. Though now I've seen it it's so damn clear. happy.gif

Does it surprise you that Amaru would notice something like that? He noticed Revan's avatar looked like the guy was holding onto his private. tongue.gif

His being Revan's, Amaru's, or the avatar guy's?

Down with ambigious pronouns!
Terenas2005-05-16 22:13:47
Just go look at Revan's avatar. tongue.gif

Well come on, all these avatars are subtly screaming GENITALS.

It's anime culture, they can't keep their little cartoon hands off their reproductive organs.

My siggie isn't.

Though my avatar subtly implies it.

While fighting Icarus, whenever he puts up Darkmoon he refuses to leave, which is just natural I suppose, but the thing is, in no time, I check my defences and see that I've had 15 or so stripped, which isn't cool!
Why not make strip just one of the afflictions it gives, like if it gave 1 out of 6 afflictions every -how many seconds- then at least it hits only 1/6th of the time, which is still pretty good, and random, so it could hit twice in a row, or thrice, who knows!
Just don't let it strip every single time...

Darkmoon's afflicting ability runs on a 10 seconds cycle. Your demon hits at every 8, not to mention you can also sting as well for greater range of afflictions and more control (with demon investing). Not to mention that it costs you 0 powers to do so. Not to mention you can also drink love or lust the Moon user to force yourself off his enemy list.
Eiru2005-05-18 20:54:15
Hmm.. now that you mention it, perhaps you're right.
I suppose I can sting 10 different people in one go in a room, or maybe have my demon attack them all at once? It's true I don't know how effective it is in a room full of enemies, but if it's anything like what I've been seeing while fighting Icarus, it's not pretty.

And don't try to say contagion's just as good, because contagion gives easily curable afflictions, and doesn't strip 15 defenses in 2 minutes.
It's mind boggling to think that when we're all cramped up in a room trying to kill each other it'll strip a lot of our -your enemies'- defenses in a short time, and give stupidity and what have you.
Both love and lust are easily rejected.
Sylphas2005-05-18 21:16:07
Rejecting kills your offense for a good bit. Moondancers can afford that maybe, but it'll be a big hit to knights.

And contagion gives good afflictions, only drawdown has going for it is stupidity and the def stripping.

My signature is awesome and will be here for quite awhile.

Actually the arrow is in two parts, each one is pointing to one of her hips. But yeah, it looks like it's pointing at her crotch. So be it wub.gif

All of Darkmoon's afflictions are pennyroyal cured, how hard is it to trigger to eat pennyroyal everytime you get hit with it? So you're left with just the defense stripping to be worried about. And for the 50th time, it is the same as Dreamweaving's Undoing but costs 8 powers as opposed to 1! Why in the hell aren't you people complaining about Undoing stripping defenses and yet persist on Darkmoon's? Go nerf undoing, good god. Darkmoon has always been one of the worst high power feat in the game and there were barely anyone but Moon users that saw a need to upgrade it, and finally when we got it upgraded, people are bitching and complaining that it's too powerful. Where were you when it was too damn pathetic and easily cured by focus spirit?

I'm just going to stop posting in this thread since people are just too stubborn or stupid to see that Darkmoon's afflictions are easily cured by eating pennyroyal or focus mind, or that Dreamweavers have the exact same defense stripping ability that costs 1 power to use. Here's a suggestion, go ask Undoing to be changed, then let's go talk about Darkmoon.

Actually, people have asked to have undoing changed too. Just wanted to throw that out there, so you would not feel like Darkmoon is the only one that gets complained about.

Haven't seen any 5 pages thread complaining about Undoing though compared to Darkmoon. ranting.gif
Geb2005-05-19 22:55:01
Probably because few, if anyone, defended undoing like you are defending Darkmoon.
Alger2005-05-20 04:35:23
point for the gebmeister

also maybe because a lot use blackout more than undoing
