Your points are valid, except the one about Scourge, since you can cure blindness off herbbalance with myrtle. So there's no reason for blindness to slow or hold anyone down.

edit: maybe psychic resistance influences succumb drain, since I've got a lvl2 of that, and succumb only drains me for 350 a tick.

Bonds is still to much power to be reliable when it's sooo easy to run in this game

choke will get the Shadowdancer killed usualyl, especially if they are fighting a druid or another wiccan. It is really good against knights, but then again, like when I fought Daevos.. I choked...he tendon whored me in one friggin hit... he had the advantage at that point.


Brumetower, when I put it in the envoy report was supposed to stop things like raise cudgel and treelife, but all it stops is climbing itself.. so only good for hindering people from running away..

Flight... yeah, I like this skill now, keep forgetting they made it usable.

EDIT: If Flow and Wisp were returned to what they used to be...then Bonds/Choke/Brumetower would all be a great deal better, but as they are, I have to pray my opponent (non-druid) walks into such a trap.

Okay, good, they kept healing worthless so I don't feel bad about dropping it for a skillset that doesn't horribly stink, like Hexes biggrin.gif Wonder what the new hex skills are... But I need focus mind before I can get hexes, or I'm lock-bait sad.gif
Munsia2005-10-04 19:13:37

And as to the new envoy changes, Hexaura enables them to carry around their hexes, Sense enables them to see who walked where into their drawn hexes. Since hexers can now basically carry around an instant, masked allhex, it's going to be painfully obvious that you have one choice against a hexer now, learn focus mind or die.

Or tumble... or roll... or flow... or have friends that can heal
edit: better yet... any wiccan with Maiden (haha not gloms.. I dont think)
Thorgal2005-10-04 20:02:31
How is tumble, roll or flow going to cure allhex?

Escaping.. if you get allhexed and stay in the same room you are dead if you have trans discipline or not. From what I understand it rapes mana

Thanks for giving Laysus a scry ability (I know, I was one of the ones to envoy it) since I've been scryed atleast 30 times from her
Malicia2005-10-04 20:42:56
Hey, we suffer it too. Damn nihilists and their farscout.
Ethelon2005-10-04 20:44:01
yeah, but this has been a constant scry every 1-2 minutes for the last hour
Thaemorn2005-10-04 20:51:43
For one, Laysus is a him..
And secondly, when you hang around Twilight Trees, in the trees, with a gem of cloaking... and occasionally pop into Faethorn...

Daevos2005-10-04 22:38:36
Just curious, did Allhex really need to be made even stronger. It was already a damn unblockable instant kill for all intents and purposes against anyone who didn't have focus mind.

YAY!

I lurve the new Astrology skill (let's me track those pesky Moondancer Novices when they get lost), and the alchemy thing was something I envoyed with Narsrim smile.gif.
