I remember as one of my alts, Rabeth has some tae'dae flails that where able to keep up with a 180 damage broadsword


I usually don't break out of lurking to post, but I just had to comment on this one. Sorry, Sano, but to me at least, there's no way in hell you're Rabeth. She didn't know a thing about fighting at all, because I sparred her, and won every fight. She never got past level 55, and I was level 40 or so when I sparred. And she didn't use tae'dae flails, she used pre-masterweapon taurian flails. Anyway, I apologize to everyone for this hijack. I was just a bit outraged at what Sano wrote.

So, er, back to surge now...

No, he meant he met Rabeth on one of his alts.

It can be confusing how he said it though. Not everyone speaks the make1000sofaltsspeech.

You're not going insane. He's just a dirty, stinking editor. tongue.gif

Well, for surge now, if you have 3000 mana like Sano does for Igasho, instead of a 1500 health boost, you only get 1000... which kinda stinks. Sano's int. is only 9 I think, so if I go human, I get a 4 int boost. It might help a little.
Murphy2006-05-05 17:48:50
oh boo hoo you -only- get 1k extra health boost? You should be happy you're getting one at all princess.

You also get more mana to survive guardians better, IE in group combat. It's a good change, leave it at that.
Unknown2006-05-05 21:36:00
Good point, What's the skill called like whenthey get you down half mana they rip your soul out?

Quick question: how many other knights have noticed surge draining more mana than it used to, pre-change? I know there are a few others who have commented on it as well.

Well, if it drains a percentage of your max mana, and you have more max mana, it stands to reason that it'd drain more, yes?

Except if perfection is also a percentage of your max mana, and you have more max mana, it doesn't stand to reason that perfection now is far less effective at covering surge's mana drain. (Which is where we're actually noticing it, the drain with perfection up is far different than what it used to be).
Unknown2006-05-06 18:49:53
Perfection is not a percentage of max mana, it's constant at 75 mana.
