In those rather rare situations, yeah.

If the question was have i beat him before i would say yeah (luck or not ive done it) but since you feel that Loboshigaru is the way to go thats your opinion im sticking with my opinion that aslarans are a good race to be as a Celestine.

Since guards do neutral damage and putrefaction only blocks physical damage, I'd say that your mentioning the first scenario indicates that you don't really know how good it is at all and are just saying it's bad 'cause you have it.

Most of the top Celestine fighters have always been a high constitution race such as a lucidian, dracnari, and loboshigaru. Except Ethelon who I believe at the end switched to mugwump before he left Celest.

I believe Galvadore was/is a dracnari and I wouldn't know how the sip penalty would work. However, dracnari still have high strength, intellect, and constitution.

The only really skilled fighters I can think of were Ethelon, Amaru, Atherius, and Galvadore off the top of my head. Atherius is surprisingly a human though.

I was actually Aslaran and with that speed I was unkillable in 1 on 1 fighting, even Valek at the time and Daevos ran from me. The first time I went Mugwump was when I went back to Druids.

Im sad how Deangelo didnt make that list Im pretty sure i was really good as a Celestine.

You were good, just didn't have enough lessons.

True if i had focus mind and tumble i wouldnt die so much, soulless isnt really needed when i was a merian so judgement and absolve carried me through most battles.

I never ever used putre VS damage knights, it's not worth it.

It's not even worth using for bashing.

well i dont see how you can say numen is so much better, if i numen takes between 5 and 10 seconds to regain equilibrium, i then hit maybe 8 times as a knight and it dissapears..and im lucky if it lasts that long, in pvp i found taht its completely useless unless your just trying to tank smoeone like ixions initial burst of lunges otherwise its a huge waste of power and vs mobs it doesnt last long enough to be useful.
But then again i usually cant tank ixions 5 lunges anyway last time it hit my vitality then took me to 800 health and to 60 mana after clotting...

What do you mean between 5 and 10? Is it random or what?
I wouldn't really know how it works in pvp, I can imagine it's troublesome to use it... but it should be damn good for tanking powerful mobs.

by 5 to 10 seconds means i dont know which, its just around that

numens only usefulness is in tanking enough damage to get away, i was able to tank daevos, ixion and alger long enough to get away when they attacked me on water. Other wise in combat its really hard to keep up 4 power almost every 40 seconds.The amount of time numen last is random so you cant rely on it for long.

If I were a celestine, I'd ask for numen to be a defense than gives likes like 25% protection to all forms of damage, lasts 15 minutes, 5p cost.

i think numen is fine as it is, though it isnt the most useful skill it can be used effectively in certain situations like escape and allowing me to tank 10 eagles for about 5 minutes...

There are two more useles skills in Sacraments. No i dont mean Inquisitio and Truheal .

Ablution and Lustration are those skills.

Syntax: STARCHANT LUSTRATION
Power: 2 (Pool of Stars)
The ritual of lustration will open your mind to hold more than it normally
would.

Syntax: STARCHANT ABLUTION
Power: 2 (Pool of Stars)
With the ritual of ablution upon your body, you will be extremely healthy.


Here how they works:

It give me 20% more mana for lustration and 20% health for ablution, but wont rise my max. And this cost 2power for each use.
If i have less then max it just heal my health (ablution) or restore my mana (lustration). 20% of my max mana/health, so its basicly like additional sip of mana or health potion, but it cost 2p each time. And it have 4 sec eq balance.

If my mana (for lustration) or health (for ablution) is over 3000-3500 then it wont give me additional 20% of health or mana.

6724h, 2057m, 4394e, 10p, 22205en, 19535w elrxk-<14:20:28.593> starchant ablution

You cleanse your mortal frame through the chant of the Holy Ablutions, and a
divine purity washes over your body.
6724h, 2063m, 4394e, 8p, 22205en, 19385w lrxk-<14:20:29.804>

Nothing changed for ablution.

Noone use those skills.

I requested change for them in envoy report but they didnt change it.

I wanted those skills to be like yellow/geburah. For 3 power lustration would add 1 point to int for same time as geburah/yellow and ablution would give 1 point to constitution for 1 hour too, just like geburah and yellow.

I think its fair change.

PS. Trueheal and Inquisition needs upgrades too

That's probably Surge messing up your max health. It works as intended for me, but is still a lot worse than Healer tarot, since boosting over max is really quite useless.

I guess I'm glad you aren't. That's too good!


Man if not for the last line, I'd think you're serious.

Lustration and ablution look useless, but don't you think you have enough already?
Upgrade Nihilists first!

My bad its not 3000-3500 but around 5000 (my bad my last tests were long time ago i forgot what number it was, i tested again now) as i cant reach more then 4952 health or mana with it.

Here is without surge.

4661h, 4127m, 4394e, 10p, 22205en, 19535w elrxk-<14:31:45.486> starchant ablution

4952h, 4127m, 4394e, 8p, 22205en, 19391w elrxk-<14:31:51.905> starchant lustration

You cleanse your soul through the chant of the Holy Lustration, and a golden

I got only 291 health from Ablution. Its not even 10% of my max health and if i would have less health then it would add 20%. So when it would be worth using it wont add me this 20% of my 4661 health, it should be 932 health not 291!

So as you can see i got whole 20% for mana - 825 additional mana. It was in 4952 limit.
But if i would have more it would not add me more.

Ok, Inquisition and Truheal could not be changed but Ablution and Lustration needs some upgrade!
And then move to Nihilists. They are to powerful, nerf them!
