Kaervas points a bloody symbol of pain towards you, and a gout of black fire
slams into your chest.

I don't care HOW much int you have, guardians should NOT be doing that kind of damage.

Wow... yeah, that's just wrong.

Symbol damage definitey needs to be toned down against players.

Eesh, i'm lucky to pull off 700 if I use puissance and a lunge. That is crazy.

I think I can get almost that much with a pulp to the head of an unarmoured lowbie with two of the best flails in the game. O_o'

Note lunge does not increase weapon damage.

I believe 25 is the max for any stat, even at Demi

He had 27 int for a bit, due to an astrology sphere.

My symbol does less damage than my cosmicfire, unless your resistences are heavily against fire and magic. In most tests my cosmicfire deals 800 damage and my symbol strike does 600. Other Nihilists have reported the same.

This is not an issue about symbols, it's an issue about Demigods.

Yup average high int cosmic fire 500 average symbol does 200 300 to me with my resistances.

Easily solved by putting a cap on the symbols damage.
ferlas2006-06-08 00:26:31
That punishes people for being demi gods and buying artifacts though.

Reasonable enough. Cap it high enough that it won't affect your average Nihilist but so that Demigods and Titans can't be unstoppable with it - it should still pack quite a punch with them, they are Demigods after all, but not this much.

Maybe adjust the damage cap for those with +magic damage artifacts, as well, so that they aren't a waste.

Shamarah has inept magic

Trans Magic with sensitivity and omen

Holding a bloody symbol of pain before him, Kaervas makes the Sign of Nifilhema
at you, and you are engulfed in bloody needles.
5582h, 7972m, 11020e, 10p esSxk<>-
Kaervas pronounces that you are under an ill omen, and a sense of imminent
foreboding descends upon you.
5582h, 7972m, 11020e, 10p esSxk<>-
Kaervas stares at you with a burning intensity.
5582h, 7972m, 11020e, 10p esSxk<>-
Kaervas points a bloody symbol of pain towards you, and a gout of black fire
slams into your chest.

Not bad, considering you need trans magic to fight wiccans anyway, needing trans magic to fight a demi gods dosn't seem to unreasonable.
Kaervas2006-06-08 01:24:22
Was that one of the hits after I'd given you sensitivty and omen? Can't really tell from that log. And yes it seems stats aren't capped at 25 like I thought, I had 27 earlier with a +3 int astrosphere and lichdom

I thought omen WAS sensitivity in another form (could be cured)... dry.gif My guild must be misguiding me.
Shamarah2006-06-08 01:26:29
No, that was with no sensitivity or omen.

It essentially is. But they stack.

I'm tired of hearing how demigods are unbelievably powerful with this skill, or stat, or whatever, and nothing changes.

I'm starting to change my mind on something that was mentioned at the envoy summit. Thank god every death is painful.

Some things just don't change. Like for example, Shamans and Wytchen from Achaea and Imperian respectively with vodun. doh.gif
