He spelled it wrong so you know that he's talking about the spelling. He meant THE DREADED "REDICULOUS" MAKES ITS RETURN!

That's the point he was making, Ytraelux. That Daganev always spells it 'Rediculous' and not 'Ridiculous'.

There are a few others who do it, too.

That is why it is dreaded.

I hate ridick

There are less ways to get physical resistance than there are to get magic resistance. And Warriors do have the option of making their attacks partially elemental. We don't, not even if we buy artifacts.

There are? Resilience, robes/armour, drawdown/nightkiss, numen, those ecology tokens, various psionic things... huge amounts of abilities and skills to tremendously reduce physical damage.

Really?

You can't miss with magic. There is never a chance of doing 0 damage, even if you don't miss.

Comparing moonburst to an axe is just silly.

Rediculous!

Yes. You are one of those mysterious "others".

As is Murphy.

From Urban Dictionary:

1. rediculous
42 up, 34 down


Intentional mispronunciation of "ridiculous" (based on the common misspelling) to indicate that something is ridiculous while also insinuating that somebody involved is stupid (i.e. implying that they are just as stupid as people who misspell "ridiculous").

Person1: John says Bruce Willis is in Star Wars
Person2: That is REDiculous (i.e. John's idea is ridiculous and John is also an idiot).

n.
This is the way that the word "Ridiculous" should be spelled because very intelligent people have spelled it incorrectly for a long time. One eventually corrected himself, but the others don't care so they shall therefore continue to spell the word in the aforementioned manner.

"This word is so rediculous, for the second time!"

The alternate spelling of ridiculous that is accepted world-wide except by Danielle.

Danielle: i knew you were gonna pull something ridiculous.
Nick: that wasn't that rediculous
Danielle: um.. i don't think so.

Magic skill, proofed robes, drawdown/nightkiss, numen, charms, biofeedback, moon aura, maiden blessings...

Something is wrong when a High Elfen does more damage swinging their athame (stats are a bit worse than 50/50/50 I think) at me then they do actually using it to Nature Curse.

Comparing to the axe was probably stupid, and definitely so seeing how you all leapt on that and completley ignored the other evidence. Forget the gods forsaken axe and look at the rest.

Yes, yes I agree, Sylphas, furrikins should have no magic resistance.

Isn't moon aura and drawdown the same thing?

And once again, you're completely neglecting any actual testing over time to see how well they compare, simply leaping on a "omg the shock!" factor. Right before you say to ignore the axe! If you're going to bring up physical weapons as a comparison, be expected to be asked for detailed tests. Otherwise, you're just throwing out biased details in an effort to sway those who aren't very knowledgeable on the subject.

No, they aren't.

From Xenthos:

No.

:roll: Ok, yes, that was shock value. Taking maybe 300 damage from a moonburst means I can totally regen the damage over time without sipping. I'll need a sparkle here or there

That's a heck of a lot better than bringing up the weapons issue.

But again, you're a furrikin moondancer which is about as resistant to magic as it's possible to get.

I'm waiting for Narsrim's more detailed tests at this point.

I personally think the entire magic skillset should be done away with and those who have invested in it given a refund.

That, or lower the amount of damage that it reduces but apply it to magic, fire, cold, and lightning damage. It's just silly that there's a whole skillset devoted to weakening one damage type, especially in a game in which extremes can be so easily achieved. Why isn't there a 'fire' skillset, or a 'cold' one? Those are both more prelavent than magic anyway.
