With trans resilience, trans combat and fullplate with 107 cutting, level 2 resistance to cutting and level 2 resistance to lightning, I am still considered a soft target...

I had no sensitivity, my health was full and my chest wounds was at medium at the time...

You eat a sparkleberry.
You feel your health, mana and ego replenished.

Diamante's aura of weapons rebounding disappears.
With a powerful lunge, Diamante strikes at you with a vine-wreathed broadsword
of pure gold. Diamante strikes deep into your chest, and you grit your teeth as
the blade twists violently.

3778h, 3396m, 3396e, 6p, 22516en, 14268w elrxk-

With a powerful lunge, Diamante strikes at you with a vine-wreathed broadsword
of pure gold. Diamante strikes deep into your chest, nicking your heart and
causing your body to twitch in agony.
The point of the blade thrusts through your body and emerges from your back,
jolting you upright even as you feel your limbs go numb. You slide off the
blade, dropping to the ground as the numbness claims your entire body.
You have been slain by Diamante.

Thats with:

Great Robes:

Physical blunt: 44
Armour Status: 100

Tower Shield:
Physical cutting: 39
Physical blunt: 32
Armour Status: 140

Hard Charm 50/50 (Apparently not working- Shameless plug)

Barkskin for 10% damage reduction

Expert Resilience

Hajamin you might need to take those swords back

Gimme back the 1400 credits in artie runes on them in hard cash, I might accept *halo*

I bet if Diamante would join ur'guards then those swords would turn in gold dust leaving only runes in his inventory heh.

hmmm, as it happens, a few select people besides myself and the involved divine know exactly what would happen to diamantes swords if he went tainted...and its eeeeeeeevil

No, we wouldn't nearly be as nice.





Yes it is

I think it would be interesting no... mhm... it's cool though how Diamantes swords has history and a myth to it. Like that.

Yea, it could be.

And why i dont know nothing about what will happen to them!!

Diamante hitting me:



Very weird..

Could be your trans resilience, level 3 lightning resistance and fieldplate shining through, Thorg.

and its not for icarus? *ponder*

Nerf Ur'guard, its so obvious.

Pshaw Singollo. Ur'guard have no extra damage reduction like Serenguard drawdowners, ebonguard nightkissers etc. Just putre, which I don't think he was using

I'm not a necromancer, I have not a single damage reducing skill of any kind.

I am a tracker too, fullplate, trans resilience, lvl 2 cutting and lvl2 lightning resist. Disregarding the heartpierce for now, how is it possible that I take 1.5k per lunge while you take only 600?

Yeah, I've got no clue how the hell you took that much damage. Damage scales up with max health, but I only had like 1000 more health than you, doesn't warrant +120% damage.

Could we test this against other targets? That's insane. You might convince people it's ok to instakill 90%+ of Mages/Guardians in one combo through shield and parry and rebounding, but freaking warriors? That's ridiculous.

Ok. Nerf Ur'Guard and Trackers. And Thorgal.
