I vote wisp.
Daevos2005-08-27 00:40:49
Yeah, wisp should have been up there.
Yrael2005-08-27 00:41:12
Yessss, add wisp!
Shamarah2005-08-27 00:43:28
Gah, I need a mod sad.gif

Replace heartpierce, bedevil, greaterpentagram, pulp/haymaker, and crucify with wisp, demesne summon, beckon, toadcurse, and absolve.
Ashteru2005-08-27 00:48:00
Then add Beckon too. rolleyes.gif
Shiri2005-08-27 01:02:28
What all wants adding? dry.gif Specifically.

EDIT: Ah, ninja edit.

Possession may be awfully uber, but after you factor in how often it actually gets pulled off (which suggests to some extent how hard the setup is) I don't think it comes close to worst.
Ashteru2005-08-27 01:21:27
Then move my vote from possession to beckon please, MegaShiri! ninja.gif

I have pulled off possession quite a few times. I just don't do anything nasty with it because that's lame. tongue.gif tongue.gif

That's only because very few people have it.

I do imagine it would get nerfed relatively quickly if Yrael got his grubby hands on it.

You looked at everything and even reminded my that my backpack only had three months left. laugh.gif

Excuse me, wrack is not on the list. That's SO overpowered. =\\

Nastiest skill is easily wisp. Back before it got changed Guido would get wisped and killed every ten seconds.
Shiri2005-08-27 03:58:25
I'm going with demesne summon here. 3p uncounterable instakill, area wide, no timer. 50% change to resist, though. (For me.) sleep.gif

They're not grubby! They're just, er, slimy. Mugwump tastic. If I got my grubby little hands on it, I'd probably just force them to mail their goodies to me. Then if it was someone like Munsia, have them kick the guards at a location.

You stated instakill and area wide? If you are going to list the characteristics of a skill, please make sure it is accurate. It is demesne wide, not area wide. There is a major difference between the two. It is also not an insta-kill, considering that it alone kills no one. If you are talking about being summoned into a group or statue, then it is still not an insta-kill. Plenty of people have escaped a summons into a statue(totem), group, or group and statue(totem).

Demesne wide is area-wide a lot of the time. I -think- it can be wider but I can't remember if it was changed along with demesne effects only hitting area-wide. And I don't know how you plan to get free with some of the groups I see people being summoned into. There's no way I can get out when being ganked by Ixchilgal, Athana, Daevos, Ixion, Torak and that one nihilist novice that was there at the time.

It is possible to get away from big groups easy. If you are summoned, you could just immediately spore out (I do that a lot). Celestines can trueheal/catacombs; necromancers can reflex ghost on demesne summon; there is always lichdom, etc.

And demesne summon is not area-wide. You can summon from area to area.
