Confusion is awesome, it doubles equilibrium time.

Easily ignored since you can't give the affliction for real.



There is a way to detect confusion right off. If you want to know, ask Geb or anyone else who knows about it.

Concentrate!

Actually it's a 50% increase.

Erm, I meant that.

That's still pretty nasty...

Can't use that trick in aeon

I do not have problems with Aeon, since it does have two possible cures. Right after I cure it, I conduct my hidden affliction tests. Also, besides the use of the artifact cat or fighting against a group, how in the world is someone giving you aeon and double whamming you at the same time? In 1vs1, If you are not curing aeon before the person is able to push the hexes or you are not curing the afflictions before aeon is given, then you have a general healing problem.

Choke.

Choke is not Aeon, and it is also not easily mobile. When the person is starting to set up the place to keep you locked in for choke, the easy path is to leave the room.

If a person wants to fight in it, then a person will have to learn to delay his actions until he sees the previous action show up on his screen. So, it is still possible to detect if you have confusion in choke, because you can do the check right after you see the message for your own attack attempt, heal attempt, etc. Also, choke is a double edged sword. It is effecting the Shadowdancer just as much as it is effecting his victim. It is also extremely dangerous for a shadowdancer to set up choke in an enemy demesne. It is kind of like the same situation when Mages would try to use retardation against me as a Bard with Harmonics. They found out that they were helping me kill them, instead of hindering me.

True, but that IS a way to get the aeon effect and still doublewhammy at the same time.

Shorlen did NOT mention choke though, He mentioned Aeon. Again, there ARE differences between the two that I mentioned in my other post.

Look there, I can use all caps to emphasize what I am saying too.

Why are you commenting on this? A lot of people capitalize a word to emphasize it.

The same reason a person feels the need to use all caps to emphasize a word; I wanted too. Not like either are needed to make a point.

quit with the hissy fits please? It's annoying.

Do you mean that only you should be able to have them? It is not that hard to find plenty of posts where you are crying and complaining about something.

Yes, that is exactly what I mean, so stop crying.

Perhaps you are familiar with this old saying: "People in glass houses should not throw stones."
