I suppose I could always break their leg or point my imaginary web ring at them, good luck finding an enchanter in Magnagora. Either way you all need to stop bitching about chasm, it's not like anyone even uses it anymore.

But anyway, back on topic. I keep psionics for the sweet defs.

Who is bitching about chasm? I have peace hexes and since then, I haven't said a word about it being this or that.

Plus, Revan is an enchanter closedeyes.gif

Revan is shrubbed in case you forgot

Let's try that again:

Magnagora has like 2 unshrubbed enchanters, it's a pain in the ass. I'd go back to enchanting if I didn't want splendor robes so much.

Are splendor robes really that much better than just high-end great robes?
Thorgal2005-09-14 20:10:46
You can get 80/80 splendor if you're really lucky, but generally good ones float around 75/75, they're fieldplate equivalent.. except unlike fieldplate, they cover the head too, and can be proofed against all 4 elements.

I've had 65/55 great robes. What's the real "difference" between that and say 75/75? I'm going to guess not too much.

25 points of cutting/blunt will result in several hundred points of less damage, and a whole crapload of less wounds.

*with robes* (59/40)

You order a pooka entity to manipulate Munsia. A stream of wooden splinters shoots in from the ether, peppering you with a painful barrage of tiny cuts.

*without robes*

You remove primal greatrobes adorned for war.

Do you see what I mean? Robes seem to have almost no impact on damage whatsoever. I only bother getting them to reduce wounds. So I speculate that splendor robes are like a 50-100 damage improvement over good great robes.
Ceres2005-09-14 20:21:56
Yeah, little difference.

By the way, the stats are exaggerated.

Getting a 70/70 splendor set is as hard as getting a 200 damage broadsword. And you can't smelt clothes.

Can't you like unravel or something?

You feel your will manipulated by a pooka.
*** KILL POOKA ***
The end of your cudgel forms a knotty burl and you aim it at Narsrim. The burl
pops and ruptures, shooting a barrage of splinters to the ether.

Ohh, I like how Nature Rain has a purpose now (besides putting out fires) with all these new changes! Just happened upon it randomly too. tongue.gif

Nope.

Gotta pay full each time sad.gif

Can't even keep multiple sets. Splendor destroys itself if you create another.

I like the latest batch.. a lot. tongue.gif
Daevos2005-09-14 23:24:11
I just want to know why dark moon was made even stronger. Now you can't even run from it.

Edit: Well, atleast it's curable by a trans skill but still.
Unknown2005-09-14 23:30:28
Everything about Moon was upgraded and there was no downgrades I can see from the announces. I thought the point of enovys was to make skills balanced and now Moon gets dark that can be use with Rage, and all their skills get a boost. Am I missing something??
Singollo2005-09-14 23:36:02
Because the gods hate you, Daevos.

They still didn't give either commune anything comparable to Laetitia or w/e it is, be happy.
Unknown2005-09-14 23:39:27
Let's see, neither city can attack from afar and don't have skills like moonburst which nearly doubles the damage of a cosmic fire. I don't like the changes to Moon, the others I'm glad because they needed it
