To mitigate this sort of thing? Improve recklessness curing? I know the crucify was an oops, I was whacking the wrong bloody macro. And keeping in mind the one hit I did manage that was parried all went off at once.


You storm towards Celina.
Along the wall of the pit.
The corrosiveness of the taint sickens the land. The stars twinkle in the clear
night sky. The massive stone wall has several small recesses built into it here
to provide a few choice hiding places for those needing to take a quick breath
before once again joining the fray of combat. Peering southeast, it is possible
to see rows of giant columns rising to the ceiling to support the upper level of
the stadium as well as to hinder the view of the combatants. A taint wyrm is
coiled on the ground here, spoiling the air with its corrosive stench.
Apprentice Celina is here. She wields a twisted staff in her left hand and a
jagged edged shield with a lich emblem in her right.
A duststorm obscures the rest of your vision.
She withstands your assault and you are deflected harmlessly away.

Yeah oops on crucify.. also didnt look like you had protection scroll up, not sure about love potion. Yeah you might want to open with crushes if you start hurting, to get stuns if you can so you can hold her back.

Surge?

Sip health?

Don't die?

Your stun curing is bad. It didn't sip health after the whiff during stun.

You have single-handedly summed up Lusternian combat. You're a genius. It's revolutionary. Et cetera, et cetera.

Exception clause for liches, who occassionally have to break this cardinal rule.

It's very interesting that she would illusion a cen rune, with the potential to give away the masked telepathy affliction she's giving >.>

On topic for a change, he's using palisade so I don't think the curing priorities are really his fault. Turn on sparkleberry and healing scroll if applicable though or make the effort to do those manually.

Offensively... eh, as a bonecrusher expect that most people will be expecting you to either start out on legs or head. I'd probably go for chest starting out for some stun since I think it's both a jab/swing affliction or you can always go down to legs with crushes.... if you don't waste the power instead. Just seems to be a slow start and not running to get back on even keel more than anything

Looks like some bad luck and some good strategy. I found another trigger that needs that recklessness failsafe now.

Oooh that's me. Yeah the runes...no clue what I was thinking, but I changed them yesterday actually. Still having trouble working on working illusions. Geo combat is rather linear..and if you hit phantomarmour blackout, hit parry or rebounding or things like that without much health..you go down in a heartbeat. The best trick I've learned is hitting with recklessness right after demesne hits...it really slows down healing, which is bad normally...but god awful in a geo demesne.

edit: Hrm didn't even use claws or phantoms.

Eh....it's really easy to knock down a protection scroll when you're in melee. Put it back up when you're away from the mage, sure, but it's not that useful 1v1.

Love potion can only help if you don't use contagion though.
