I agree that demesnes make all large scale battles annoying, but I really love that Wargames was implemented, for the premise alone. Now when can I buy it for Magnagora?
Murphy2005-08-22 02:49:24
I'd love to buy it for magnagora's arena, then we can set have our own set of demesne regulation rules
Malicia2005-08-22 02:51:00
Showoff. Serenwilde will have it first!


And great new addition to Lusternia. Thank you! Wargames is quite fun. Camping in a demense is not. It's like, Faethorn Conflict meets Klangratch. But that's life. It was -so- weird for me, fighting alongside Kaervas, STANGMAR and Veonira. Everyone in the SW were told me to turn on my team, hee. Then I was called a traitor. sad.gif The admin are cruel. We all worked together though and did well.


Please let us be able to follow. It'd be a unique option inside of a wargame event.

Celest wants to buy it too. Oops, they seem to have left their gold on the minister of X again. Shame.

Riiight.  So, what elfen hartstone/faeling blacktalon is going to be fighting for very long?

They're called big angry warriors/knights you sit behind them and staff/cudgel people with the -room- effects of a demesne going zap and smacking people around?
Murphy2005-08-22 02:58:52
druids and mages should be able to fight out of their demesne anyway, if they are any good.

Especially mages

Riiiight. Let me just use my uber cudgel. The damage is so sick, who needs dreamweaving?

I think Murphy forgot about the existance of Protection Scrolls.

They decrease the effectiveness of a demesne against teams a lot.
Murphy2005-08-22 03:04:38
I had a protection scroll up, the main problem is wisp - demesne summon which can pull one person out of a group and smack them into a group of 5 people stuning aeon web and damage, thats the main problem I see.
Thorgal2005-08-22 03:06:00
More reason to find and engage the enemy as fast as possible then, before he can pick you off one by one.
Unknown2005-08-22 03:08:35
Yeah, there are protection scrolls, but there's also dissolve which isn't all that high in Geomancy, and i was told that the protection scrolls only stopped a few effects.
Ashteru2005-08-22 03:11:37
Yeah, we can dissolve if we get to you, and then we have a balance loss.
Let's see...

*Ashteru runs in and dissolves Tenquals aura*
Ashteru: Haha!
Tenqual: Like, noooo! DOH!
*Tenqual gets hit by awesome druid effects*
Ashteru: Oooh...hi guys.
*Ashteru gets pulped to death by Murphy, Ixion and Daevos*
*demesne goes poof*
Shiri2005-08-22 03:14:58
Also, Geomancer demesnes are barely hindered at all by protection scrolls, whereas Hartstone demesnes are basically stopped in their tracks.
Rockslide/Lodestone/Rubble/Tremors/Thepassiveeffectofduststormiftheychoosetohavethatup is much worse to be hit with than treelife/squirrels/vines, since it means the Hartstone demesne doesn't hinder you -at all.-
Malicia2005-08-22 03:36:57
Dirty hijackers.
Unknown2005-08-22 03:40:48
Hold on... you lost me.

Geomancers actually use duststorm?

Yeah, if you're either an Aquamancer or Kaervas (aka: Mugwump with sceptres and a really high level, and a champion staff).

The rest of us will crash and burn.

By the way, I love Wargames. I'm sure it can use some tweaking, but I really love the idea. It's kind of cool fighting with different people.

Murphy2005-08-22 04:01:57
ahem, I know of at least 2 geomage fighters who can fight well out of their demesne, no arties.

Geb can fight out of his demesne when he chooses to come around. Its certainly doable you just need to use illusions better. Geomancers have been blessed with illusions being uber fast, most don't use them.
Veonira2005-08-22 04:08:06
Aquamancer staffs do much higher damage than geomancers, at least in my experience. Acrune could nearly kill me in two or three hits. I think it depends on a lot of things, anyways.
Sylphas2005-08-22 04:12:28
Druids outside of their demesne SUCK. Runes and cudgel don't cut it. Illusions is a much stronger skill offensively then Stag can hope to be.
Murphy2005-08-22 04:33:49
hence i said mages syphas!

If you could whore out some stag skill while flinging runes that would make them a lot better. that being said, illusions and runes/whatevre other skill makes it viable for a mage to fight outside his demesne
