You pound your chest with your fists, and bellow fiercely. Your body expands to
heroic proportions.
5280h, 1550m, 2890e, 2p, 17550en, 12240w lrxk-
You have recovered equilibrium.
5280h, 1502m, 2890e, 2p, 17550en, 12249w elrxk-
You concentrate for a moment and your flesh begins to dissolve away, becoming
slimy and wet.

and it's not scary, it's useless against anyone other than knights tongue.gif

Ummm.....if you think putre was bad, have you all looked at Halo?

Putre - does 15% damage, for 30% blunt/cutting reduction?
vs
Halo - 20ish% all damage reduction?

Which hurts more, getting hit for 1.8k HP, or getting hit for 1.2k HP and losing 700, for a max of 1.9k hp (numbers may vary tongue.gif)? Because from what I see it's not a percentage based on your current health, but based on your max health, I lost 600hp to putrefaction when I had only 1k hp.

Xavius, Numen lasts nearly a full minute, and Bric, Halo reduces ALL types of damage by a full 25%, it has absolutely no cost to it, no willpower drain, no mana drain, no power.

I think the safest thing for magnagoran guilds is to never submit a single envoy again.

Oh, and I saw Drago's report, and unless he didn't show me everything, Drago did not suggest any changes to putrefaction whatsoever.

Numen rarely ever lasts near a full minute. It averages out at 41 seconds, that's in the code. Often lower, lowest at 25 seconds, sometimes higher, at around 50-55 seconds. I've never seen a minute long Numen.

Complain about the Celestiam skillset, if you think halo is overpowered. Numen is good, but it costs too much and the time is not enough tongue.gif
Erion2005-05-18 17:07:09
Halo is Celestialism, Putrefaction is Necromancy. That's the difference. Halo is comparable to demonscales. Demonscales/putre is better than flat out Halo.

Demonscales is 3.5% reduction on physical damage.

Halo is 20% reduction on all types of damage.

I can't beleive some of these changes, and someone please explain why leechs mana reduction was dropped? Is it meant to be pointless because that is the vibe I am getting. As I see it only a few moves in necro were ever meant to be used. Erion don't compare things you have absolutely no clue about..thank you.
Unknown2005-05-18 17:31:46
I thought leech was increased, but not as much as amissio?
Eiru2005-05-18 17:31:56
Obviously we're not meant to be as good as our counterparts.
Torak2005-05-18 17:34:08
Thats what I had meant Jello, but even so why would I leech.. I do it to reduce someone elses mana not increase my own. Ammissio > Leech. Unless it was meant to be a counter to someone draining you mana which I highly doubt anyone needs I fail to see why. Ammissio isn't even a specialization. Eiru you hit it right on the nail flat out.
Torak2005-05-18 17:34:10
DOUBLE POST sad.gif Anyways by specialization I met it isn't in a specialized skill class thingy.
Malicia2005-05-18 17:41:18
Hey Jello, I don't complain about many things, but I thought to point out how strong serpent is. I don't bitch about lichdom, putre or any of the abilities in necro here. I thought it was probably a good change. It'll get adjusted by the looks of it, but who knows. When you can actually -stop- complaining about -every- change and ability in the game, maybe everyone will stop to take a moment and consider what you're saying, mhmm?
Soll2005-05-18 17:41:32
Because Leech gives you mana back. Amissio doesn't. Hence you can use Leech to stop yourself getting toaded/Absolved
Torak2005-05-18 17:53:19
I pointed that out Soll, but there is many more effective ways to block it, such as a shield due to the fact that you could recover more mana in that time and it stops ents.
Typhus2005-05-18 17:55:42
And from being paralyzed with no mana... Also drain mages mana so they don't staff blast you with enough people..
Ceres2005-05-18 17:55:50
Nihilists have Amissio too.

Chill, guys.
