I have stinging based on tail balance and it works fine (Well, almost. Sometimes it keeps hitting shield, need to work that out).

Nihilists are probably the worse class right now, you need a basic herb set, diag and you are good to go. But honestly the key to fighting a Nihilist is just diaging once in a blue moon, and knowing when to shield.

I was afflicted about that badly when fighting Torak before, as well as crucified and with three broken limbs, and I still managed to writhe out before he sacrificed.

Nihilists are the weakest Guardian class. Hell, the weakest class in Lusternia, IMO.

Well, if you want to know my skills, I am up to Demon in Nihilism, Shrivel in Necromancy, and Hermit in tarot.

Archdemon? If so I would get hangedman next, you can web stack with shackles and pending on size get up to 2 tortures in. Really what you want to do is trans Nihilism, although Wrack is basically useless ONE DAY Nihilists will have a reliable insta-kill. I have been messaging with envoy stuff to try and make this possible . Anyways, back on subject.. soon as you trans nihil, work on necromancy, with omen + sensitivity a mage will drop to you if you can keep them in one place, a warrior on the other hand you will want to work on screwing up their healing and pull off a quicken +leech. Also what race are you? As it currently stands if you are a Tarot Nihil Aslaran are whats in, Viscanti Nihilists can't really mount sufficient offense to keep someone down and work their kills at the same time. With aslaran you can hit I beleive tarot at 2.5 and mix in 5 fires or leechs during quickening. Which is great. After Necromancy obviously you need Tarot, I worked awesome with just up to aeon, but if you can get soulless its icing on the cake. Anyways, I know this obviously amounts to A) Buying credits OOCLY or Working your off to get credits IG or the good ole C) Art..thingys. Anyways, I know this isn't that helpful because really as a Nihilist you need tri trans, or atleast dual trans and fabled at max to be effective, but if you stick with it and most the upgrades I suggest go through things will be better.

Thanks, Torak. I'm a Viscanti, and intend to stay that way for RP purposes.

Woot! Progress! Sort of.

Flying above Along the wall of the pit.
The bright sun shines down, blanketing you with its life-giving warmth. Large
steel spikes protrude from the wall encircling the entirety of the lower area of
the arena. Bits of cloth and dried blood cling to the metal, remnants of past
battles that have raged beneath the stadium seats. The wall itself is comprised
of massive stones, each set into place and sealed with precision so that time
will not force their shifting beneath the heavy rows of seating above. Glancing
to the west, it is possible to see a large, stone column rising up to the
ceiling to help support the weight of the upper level of the arena. A malevolent

Your skull is smited with a numbing blow. You briefly realize the spray of gore

The blow continues into your body, causing a sickening cracking and mashing

and you realise you have fallen into the cold embrace of death.
You have been slain by Rakor.

I bet Lokinov had a concussion...

Great job on the spar before Rakor, but on the Rakor spar you need to remember that knights are tanky as hell, especially ones like Rakor. So, you can't really damage them to death, anyways that is besides the point. Here is my tips, WEB HIM! When you get wound damages like that ,espcially alot of stun web him soon as you recover, and enlarge as your first move. web, apply health, web, apply health so on so forth until you are back up to par. Hangedman/web after enlarging is great, if I remember correctly Rakor has a large size, right? Quicken / fire him him and hope to hell shackles hit and follow it up with torture. This should set him back a step or two and keep following it up. Good job though.

I remember the time Tuek teleported to me while I was flying. I was all "hah, pwned that n00b!"

He was a dwarf at the time and had levitate up.

He tanked a few guards, Kaervas, and me cosmicfiring him about eighteen times, destroyed a statue and then killed me.

You could try to use poisongas, Guido...could be worth a try.

Good idea. Poison gas is sooooo cheap yet effective.

Wouldn't help Guido much, though, since he tends to die before the gas has any meaningful effect upon the combat

Hope those Greatrobes I bought him hold up.

Learning to fight as a Nihilist is especially hard. Nothing seems to work, so I can imagine how frustrating it is.

Oh god, here we go again. Eiru and Thorgal killed like everyone as Nihilists or just about so no one can really make the claim that they are just "god awful" when other people with talent have pulled it off.

Hah, if that was by the harbor area I remember that too. He just wouldn't die.

Anyway. I'm aslaran, Torak, size 12. Enlarge would help with keeping me hindered, but I'm not sure how much. Not sure how effective poison gas will be either, since I can just put up orange. It might save you a bit of time though, if I don't notice the choking right away and start going unconscious. Definitely try to hinder more, though, in general. I remember from spars with Torak when he was either getting low on health or close to critical limb damage he'd start webbing, with the demon on shackles, which slowed me down a lot.

I need to cure stupidity better.

Narsrim, it hard to kill as a Nihilist, generally speaking. If you're not mugwump with hexes, and don't have things like wrack (which is a joke to begin with) and soulless, how exactly are you going to kill them? Damage?

When, 6 months ago?

And does like everyone include top fighters? Cause that's their level I'd assume.

Yes. Off balance stacking with ectoplasm is nasty when you toss in a crucify.
