Chasm.. telekinetics have it easy. Barrier, get an unbreakable room, stonewall, monolith, and there's nothing you can do to escape it.

You do know you just mentioned 4 things that have to be true? And you forgot lovers tarot, flying and burrowing.

Hey, I didn't need to see your pic, you are even more ugly than I imagined!


Yeah... sad.gif

You're biased, silly. Go join the aquamancers and then argue on behalf of geo-demesne. laugh.gif

I had an Aquamancer Merian....he was great for bashing. ._.

The Geo demesne is a bit difficult to use, if its not timed correctly it becomes less than useless. Theyre not very good with hindering others, Aquas a bit better than a Geos in my opinion. Just from what Ive seen and tried.

Doesn't take too much to set that up.

If you fight a non-Tarot user who can't fly or burrow (like a non-faeling/trill Aquamancer), they're screwed. Crashing takes forever, so you rarely can escape that way.

Or you could just.....gust out the Geomancer.

Tumble

Stonewalls.

Which take eq time to set up. Another thing is, you can just do ANYTHING to the Geomancer in 12 seconds. By rights, NO one should ever die to chasm. You can web, you can trip him, you can knock him prone, ANYTHING will stop chasm.
Forren2006-08-14 17:07:59
That's true. Can't tumble in barrier though, Ild.

What? No. Nothing stops chasm short of leaving. Paralysis, entanglement, stunning, knocking them prone, etc, do not cancel it. Hell, I've had SLEEPING people chasm me, and Narsrim has had TOADS chasm him.

Aquamancers and Geomancers have no right to be complaining about anything, period.

Sleeping still works. The rest doesn't.
Unknown2006-08-14 17:25:20
Well, when you are asleep, that also means you are prone, therefore, logically prone does not stop it either. When did they ever change it? I never saw an announcement. Are you certain paralysis stops it?

Again, I reiterate, Aquamancers and Geomancers have no right to be complaining about anything short of bugs if any exist.
Ashteru2006-08-14 17:26:28
Hrm, just tested it. Seems my curing just always worked against me when getting knocked prone.

If your still wondering what sort of damage hailstorm does, its 50% blunt, 50% cold

Exactly. Chasm is an amazing instantkill, because just about nothing stops it, period. You should pause your curing while using chasm.
Ashteru2006-08-14 17:32:58
Still, the demesne is hard to put up, and you can still do a lot in those 12 seconds. and if you are hindered by barrier, just read a disruption scroll and tumble out.

Yeah, I have that nowadays, sometimes some curing still goes through due to lag or other such things though.

Flying a geo demesne? laugh.gif

Only afflictions that stop chasm are love and peace.
