Alright, I DLed Ethelon's System. I've fixed it up a bit, familiarized myself with it, and practiced with it. I've begun to spar, and am slowly making ground. I have a question about stratagies, now though. I won't be for a long while, if I ever do, buy credits again, so I'm capped at my current skills. I don't have absolve or inquisition, so that leaves me with Merain intel Damage kills. Hard, but doable, at least, at my level of sparing (yes, I know big peoples are immune do dmg kills). My question is, can I get around this? I do have judgement, which I'm going to start to practice wtith on some aquamancers, but I was also thinking about losing my Japhiel symbol (I can get confusion/stupidity from angel and astrology, and not much else is good about the symbol) and getting two rapiers full of asthma poison and crotomaine. I'd whore Anorexia/kneel from the angel and mad swinging hoping to get all three afflicts at once. Can this work, or am I dreaming? Any suggestions to get around my lack of insta kills? Thanks!

Don't try poisons. Remember, you'll need slickness as well as asthma/anorexia to lock. Judgement looks like your only option, but it's a nightmare to try and get Ethelon's system to stay still while judging. The only way I could find to do it was turn off all triggers, but then you don't track any afflictions and you can't have a trigger to re-enable when judgement is interrupted or finishes.

Create an alias/macro to start your system and diagnose.

On the test server, I found the Dazzle-Web-Judgement combo very effective against anyone that didn't know what they were doing. Might wanna try that.

Maybe throw a quicken in there first if you know you can pull three moves in a row uninterupted. (3 power quicken, 2 power dazzle, web, 5 power judgement, if I remember right)

Doubt poisons are going to help you much, the odds of you managing to hit with both blades, having both venoms sticking AND timing it so your angel throws anorexia at the same time aren't too good. Not sure there is a slickness venom. Or was that an asthma venom? Pretty sure one of those don't exit. So even with lucky timing, the venoms aren't going to do much.

Both asthma and slickness exist in the form of a venom.

Oh... well, good thing I don't use venoms, I suppose. Still, venoms + being Celestine I don't see working.
