If you're a telepath, you can hit with phobia and amplifyphobia then stoneflesh, and that keeps hitting you as well. V irritating.

I've seriously considered switching to telepath, just because it's more useful for combat atm. Still, I'm holding out hope that things might change, and forcefield is amazing as a faeling so I don't think I'm ready to switch just yet.

Telekinesis is beautiful for bashing.. and Magnagora doesn't have enough of them. Barrier, for example.. is a very useful skill when you're in a group. I'd hold out on it. Focus on developing clever illusions to compensate for the Telekinesis's weaknesses.

Solo? You'll lose. Guaranteed.

Maybe not in a geo demense, since it has the damage value though.

Eyes narrowed in concentration, Veonira slams her palm against your chest. Your muscles begin to freeze and your skin turns to slate grey. It dawns on you that you have been turned to stone, but you are aware of what is going on around you even
though you cannot make any action.

Shadows flicker before you, forming strange and weird shapes.
Blood trickles out of the corners of your eyes.
The dark spirit that protects you rises up and hisses at Veonira, spitting a glob of black slime in her face.

Your fingers and toes begin to tingle, and before long the grey fades from your skin and flushes a healthy colour. You are no longer a statue!

Apparently that doesn't work so well without a demesne, especially on tanks like Ixion...had to try in an FFA last night. glare.gif

To be fair it won't work on anyone who knows how to shield either.
Unknown2007-01-26 17:57:25
If they shield, then you start breaking limbs under choke.

The only time I really use TK actively is Choke;break left leg;slickness, Choke;break right leg;something, Trip;break right arm; break left arm. (I'm not on my home computer, so I don't remember exactly what I have set to those aliases). As long as they treat choke as a burst combo, instead of diagnosing, you can have them omni-broken, slick, and on the ground before they get messages. Assuming they don't try to leave, of course.

The downside is that there isn't much benefit to doing that.


By the way, dagger was sped up, I'm almost positive. It was something I noticed the other day, I think it's 4-6 seconds now. Anyone want to check?

Except that they can't shield anymore, I suppose. Might be handy to slow down damaging warriors just a little bit too, though they'd probably catch it really quickly.

My biggest problem right now is that I'm a faeling, so I basically have to keep forcefield up all the time to have any chance against damage classes (at least at the beginning of every fight), which cuts down my telekinesis even more. If I lock a channel for ff, and one for dagger, I'm basically limited to either sub or super for most of the fight, along with phantoms and demesne. If I can't get a demesne set up...I basically have to run or match damage.

contact Revan in game, and he'll personally teach you. Although... Mederrach is the best telekinetic to learn from. He's hardly around though, so i'll do my best
