You pronounce that Shamarah is under an ill omen and watch in satisfaction as a
dark symbol flickers upon his forehead.

Your tail is poised high above your head, ready to strike.

Shamarah jerks slightly as the air fills with sparkling motes of bright light.
You sense Amaru pulling on the strands of aether surrounding Shamarah.

You point at Shamarah and shove your archdemon towards him. Wicked steel
implements appear in his claws as he jumps on Shamarah and begins carving
deeply and slowly into his flesh. He screams in abject agony during this
obscene torture.

You strike out at Shamarah with your deadly tail, and sting him.

Shamarah begins to tumble towards the south.

A hideous archdemon vomits forth a stream of noxious fluid that strikes
Shamarah, coating him with a thick green slime.

Holy Shrine of Klangratch.
This location is flooded with shallow, crystal clear water. Standing
prominently in the centre of the room is an imposing altar, entirely crafted
from black marble. Admiral Shamarah is here, shrouded. He wields the Pearl
Staff of Rushing Water in his left hand and a tower shield in his right.
You see a single exit leading north.
3223h, 3471m, 3697e, 4p exk-
You allow an infinitesimally small mote of cosmic fire to manifest and direct
it at Shamarah. Cosmic fire blasts forth, dissolving his flesh in a sparkling
current of energy.
Screaming and writhing in agony, Shamarah dies in the coruscating fountain of
cosmic fire.
You have slain Shamarah.
Shamarah drops the corpse of an undead dwarf miner.
Shamarah drops the corpse of an undead dwarf miner.
Shamarah drops a rock of silver ore.
Shamarah drops a rock of silver ore.
Shamarah drops the corpse of an undead dwarf miner.
Shamarah drops a sparkleberry.
Shamarah drops some golden sovereigns onto the ground.
Small beams of light burst forth from Shamarah's pores, restoring his body and
saving him from certain death.
The voice of Avechna whispers in your mind a warning about initiating combat
with Shamarah.

Meh, I just picked up and re-dropped the dwarves

And I picked up my gold. All 45k of it

Psh, I woulda given it back anyway.

Just wait 'til he gets Demigod!

We must double our efforts to stop him!!! (joking)

Okay! (not joking)

Please please PLEASE PLEASE UPGRADE GEO STAFF DAMAGE!! Or at the very least, downgrade Aqua damage. Shamarah was doing over 1500 a hit. That's frikkin insane Even Kaervas doesn't do that much.

Sure, after they downgrade the 1200 passive damage of Geomancer demesnes.

And nerf Patchou too. Passive Aeon is lame. Whoever made Patchou was on crack when they did that. Then again, whoever made the Handmaiden was on crack too.

And whoever can't handle a Geo demesne by itself is dumb. As Geb said in another thread, it's not the passive attacks you need to worry about, it's the active attacks combined with em. Sorry Tuek, you've been pwned

I have? Odd. I don't quite see it. You are complaining about the amount of damage Shamarah does, yet your total damage output is greater. Something is wrong with that.

The only "owning" I remember, is myself killing you inside of your demesne.

Shamarah could easily do a passive damage attack. Know what he has to do? Deluge. Guess what one of their effects does? Strips waterbreathe. What's that Tuek? Drowning damage plus 1500 per staff? Pwned again.

And you killing me inside my demesne only shows how overpowered your damn cat is while you whore aeon over and over and over. You have no room to complain about Geo demesnes ever.

I have fluidswim, I've never taken drowning damage from stillwater. Still not seeing the "owned" part. Even if I didn't have fluidswim, the damage taken from drowning is no where near 1k.

Actually, what I remember of killing you inside your demesne, was you trying to chasm over and over and over, even though I just kept tossing a peace hex. Aeon is a trivial affliction to cure, since Patchou will never aeon you by herself, she doesn't aeon fast enough to beat quicksilver.

Syntax: AQUACAST STILLWATER
This can be cast in a single water location or throughout your demesne. By
extracting the oxygen from water, you make any waterbreathing abilities, either
natural or magical, useless. This has no effect on those with fluidswim who can
keep their head above water.

And since most people will have fluidswim, since it's on the way to tumble... PWNED.

I don't see how Revan is complaining about damage when his demesne does over 1k with rubbles/tremors, 600 if they're not proned against a knight in fullplate. Upgrade your staff damage, remove chasm? Good trade I'd think.

Please do not use my statements out of context. I did state that demesne effects alone are nothing to worry about, but what you are discussing are not just demesne effects. You have to take into consideration the entire spectrum of your abilities. Yes, aquamancer staves do more damage than geomancer staves. On the other end, geomancer demesnes do more damage than aquamancer demesnes. You also have to consider the fact that geomancers have demesne wide hunger, which always places time on their side. All considered, you have the inferior staff to balance out the fact that you have the superior demesne.

Except its never worked that way. Even with the first tiem I encountered it when I was a Nihilist, it still was bugged till one of the last times I fought.

The reason Shamarah's staff does so much are external:

Knowledge blessing, war blessing, champion's staff and no decent resistance available against heat damage.

Geomancer demesne is obviously superior to aquamancer demesne in terms of offense, which gets balanced by the fact that aquamancer demesne is much better in terms of defence.

I don't really see an archetype related problem here, it's just the inevitable imbalance issue caused by the blessings and complete lack of resistances.
