42/188/230 rapiers

100/205/170ish scimitars

180/120/160 swords

Noone in Celest has been able to forge anything better.
Murphy2006-01-13 05:26:50
i'd be going for 240 speed rapiers if i were you, but use scimitars and lunge to get their guts and legs to pinleg areas, and rapiers to finish them off.

It doesn't help. I've even got double-pinleg and lunged head to get it low, then use scims AND rapiers to try for behead. No love.

So if you can gust a mage out through barrier, can you sip anatine and gust yourself out?

Probably so. It is worth testing.

biggrin.gif Only problem would be hitting your own summon resistances, but if you're anticipating having to use the tactic you could simply not turn them on, and it'd be easier than trying to shunt the mage out.

You could also make sure you are diminished.

With all your defs up, yeah you probably are. But resistance doesn't really mean an awful lot against demesne summon in the end, although it does against wisp since you're going to be able to avoid that more often than not, so if you forgo those defences you're not losing out on a hell of a lot. (Unless currents are affected by resistance, which I'm not sure about...but I don't know if they can take you through barriers either.)

if you've got a double pinleg, you should be bleeding them out and trying to tendonwhore them to keep them prone.

If you have an uninterrupable set of rends, there is no way you shouldn't be able to kill them.

You can't out bleed someone once they start chasm. It just isn't going to happen unless they are already wounded. Hell, if they are just parrying both legs and stancing gut, you have no chance to even come close.
Murphy2006-01-13 08:13:33
narsrim get with the program i'm giving him general tips now.
Ekard2006-01-13 08:14:34
Hmm.

I wasnt clear enough. It was Athana. Kaervas and Ethelon, all of them have yesod, so i dont know who used barrier.
And i didnt die to chasm. Right after i saw them and barrier, i used trueheal and called for help.
And i learned one thing, here is log.

Lifting the body of Ekard into the air, Ethelon plants a kiss on its lips and
then slams it onto the ground. The corpse twitches and its features twist into
a frozen expression of agony as it crystallizes into a rock.

Meh. I'll dig up logs of people standing up and curing, whilst I concentrate on JUST legs after getting sliced tendon, who cure enough and stand up to parry.

What you don't get Murphy is I have to lunge to get someone decent there. Just hitting the legs doesn't:

* cause them to bleed out, I tried this
* stop them from getting up, I tried this
* kill them with damage, I tried this

In any case. I'll start sparring a lot more again after next week and you're more than welcome to look through my spar logs to tell me what I'm doing wrong. I bet I'd be better with 220-precision scimitars BUT I can't get a set in Celest.

Prismatic Barrier needs an overhaul in general. It is supposed to be a "special" barrier given the extreme limitations, but nearly everyone can circumvent it entirely making it absolutely pointless. There are three skillsets where every attack in them will work through prismatic barrier (or nearly every attack): Telekinesis, Telepathy, Dreamweaving. All warriors can bypass it with lunge, crush, sweep, assault, etc.

All in all, why even bother having it?

Prismatic barrier works just like it does in other IRE realms. It never stopped instant-kills nor did it ever stop Monk Telepathy. What they will have to do is go in and actually change the basic code it uses to make it different from the other realms.

I'm aware. However, I think you will agree that the usefulness in other IRE realms is far beyond here. At least in Aetolia, if someone put up Prismatic barrier, it could be quite annoying without a Telepathy user.
