Or just simply allow you to eat faeleaf to put up sixthsense (even if you are blind and deaf), rather than eating myrtle twice to cure blindness/deafness than eating faeleaf. Same for when someone strips deafness, eat faeleaf once to put it back up with sixthsense. And make transfix work the same way, so it actually strips blindness rather than doing nothing, and you can just eat faeleaf to put blindness back up along with sixth sense. Myrtle would be reserved for actually removing blindness and deafness.

I am a bit worried about this change. This will make it so that Mindseye is useless. If the person keeps mindseye up, it will take either 3 herbbalance or 2 heal balance and one herbbalance to put it back up. If the person is dealing with someone who has a perfect gem and the means to blind or make a person deaf, it becomes a matter of fall a good bit behind on your healing, or become transfix fodder.

Intensive purposes!

Sixth sense is the defense you want, though blind/deaf is a side effect.

Blindness/deafness are ailments that you shouldn't want.

Hmm... What if sixth sense acted as though you were blind/deaf for skills but didn't actually give you the side effect... just a thought, haven't thought it through too much.

I have to say I like the change, its the only change thats provided any synergy to the game that ive seen yet.

Explain what synergy you are talking about please. You do know this allows for some easy behead combos too, if I get the gem that is.

I do like the idea of fixing sixthsense. If it is fixed, then the other problems will be resolved.

Correction, it will allow easy behead combos on large races who prioritize sixth-sense over let's say.. yarrow, which is utterly stupid. Small races can writhe out of transfix in 4-6 seconds. Not that big of a deal.

You are correcting me, but you have no idea of what I am talking about. I am talking about combos that I can use on any size race considering my class combination.

ADD: The problem everyone seems to have is the transfix gem not really the changes to six sense, nerf the transfix gem then if everyone is so worried about it.

Or, "WRITHE" then pentagram to buy that little bit of extra time to heal what was stacked and re-def.

A knight using a gem? That's all I understood from your post, since the topic is now on sixth sense and it being a defense seperate from the afflictions blindness and deafness for purposes of anti-transfixation. What are you smoking? Class combination, knight with a transfix gem? What ARE you talking about? Correct me, by elaborating a bit.

As you said a warrior now has the option for punishing people for not having six sense on, so you use it against a warrior who will do so. People with transfix can punish people for not having it on so you use it against them. People who can strip sixsense easily can punish you for having it on so you take it off.

An even better example is shadowdancers you can have the sixsense on and avoid the barghest but if you keep the sixsense on then the sensitivity hex and scourge will slow down your herb healing.

Against nilhists you can keep it on and have the demon strip it slowing down your healing or you can leave it off and have no real slowness to your healing but suffer sensitivitly.

It seems a good change to me, its like you actually have to think about your defences and what to do now as opposed to just chucking them up and forgetting about them you have to change them dynamicaly during the fight, it makes it trickier and more interesting.

Nihilist dominate is not stopped by deafness. Hence why Murphy is so in love with Luciphage.

And then they remain defenses. Estarra doesn't want that, and I don't know about you guys, but I don't want that. It's that way everywhere else, we should be different.

Banshee is not stopped by blindness/deafness to my knowledge.

The problem lies in that Deafness/Blindness are also used as defenses, as well as blindness being a horribly debilating affliction, one of the worst around. If you are deffed up to avoid being transfixed over and over, than if you get hit by blindness, you need 3 herb balances to cure it. It's just simply not fair. I had believed that was the reason why myrtle and faeleaf worked as they did, but even then it was kind of unbalanced.

They should either remove transfix, or change the way you defend against. Or just simply allow you to eat faeleaf to put up sixthsense (even if you are blind and deaf), rather than eating myrtle twice to cure blindness/deafness than eating faeleaf. Same for when someone strips deafness, eat faeleaf once to put it back up with sixthsense.
