I don't how you can continually argue that a skill that requires two or more people to use has advantages in that there are two or more people that can be in different spots. Isn't it obvious that something that requires more people to do has a little bit more freedom to it?

Well, wisp only requires one person. It just required that the forest be identical at the location of the summoner and the summoned. Now the thing that gave wisp a certain advantage is more than one person could actually attempt the summons. In a mage demesne, only the demesne owner could summon. If the demesne owner could be incapacitated via death, lack of power, or absence from the demesne, you did not have to fear an instant summons in that demesne any longer. That was not the case in the forests, because a druid was not required to wisp, just the terrain being the same (melded or unmelded). Both types of summons have their benefits and drawbacks, but I personally feel that the ability to have more than one wisp user in the group edged out demesne summon by a slight bit.

I'd agree with that, Geb. Some of the advantages in being able to nullify wisp were balanced by a greater ease in attempting the summons.

Anyone wanna take a vote on kicking Narsrim back into real life? (lusternia). He has become a forum freak that wont pay attention to anyone IG!! lets close the forums for a week.. or two

Nihilists don't really have a sturdy way of killing, atleast with an ebonguard using crow you can have runed weapons and things to that sort. Nihilists have no benefit arties cept for septers(which really don't matter, 15% of 700 is like 75 or something to that sort). Soulless is a joke with the way size works, sacrifice is laughable, and wrack is bunk with the new amissio change. We can hinder you to death though..Also I think it is dumb one stat completely negates all Nihilist offense really, size.

I guess we should be glad there are no web avoidance artifacts. laugh.gif
There's tipheret though.
Unknown2005-10-22 02:58:38
Is this topic about how all the Nihilists want to upgrade themselves, or is it about magical travel? wacko.gif

True true, sorry for the hijack, still I can not understand how people are whining about such a reasonable change and wanted to show them that they didn't t have it all that bad tongue.gif.

This change is good, but if the wisping-through-monolith comes with the package, then that is bad.
Unknown2005-10-22 03:46:40
Wisp doesn't go through monolith. huh.gif
Viravain2005-10-22 03:52:45
Actually, it does now.
Unknown2005-10-22 03:56:46
Oh, wonderful.

I really, really hope Druids are going to have their demesnes replaced with something useful.

And I don't really understand how it can be balanced against demesne summon.

WTF! This is insane. Wisp is overpowered now - in a bad way.

I hope you are kidding. blink.gif

I can't wait to see which side is going to obliterate the other commune with wisp first.

This is... crazy.
Munsia2005-10-22 03:59:27
I like this change smile.gif
Rakor2005-10-22 04:01:58
Wait. Wisp going through monoliths is an intended change?
Unknown2005-10-22 04:04:12
Oh my freaking god. Through monoliths and shields.
Ixion2005-10-22 04:04:52
I hope there is a flip side to the change. Agree with Narsrim- utterly crazy.
