3.6k bleeding and metawake? I smell an easy mana kill.


You'd be surprised. Putrefaction, demi regen. crying.gif
Shiri2007-12-09 05:49:12
Plus Hartstone don't have a mana kill AFAIK...

<3 caw and swoop. TAKE THAT HARTSTONE. See? Alianna has been a druid for how long? Not long, and she's competing with THOROS and not totally having her arse handed to her. DRUIDS ARE FINE.

Ehhh, actually, I've been Heir of Glinshari on a different character. Admittedly, I was manual then, but I've known what I've been doing for the most part.

I'm still concerned about Xavius' point on the whole 'envoy ammunition/reasoning' thing.
Shiri2007-12-09 05:58:38
If anything that seems to make druids NOT fine...the issue isn't exactly that druids are massively underpowered here. Xavius covered it pretty well.

P.S Stop evading forum bans, you know who you are. I'm leaving that post there until I get told otherwise though.

Way to ruin it. Way. to. ruin. it.

How does thornlash/rend work these days, out of curiosity?

Exactly the same way it did after the first nerf.

And Shammy, when Narsrim sent you that, did you tell him that you were the one who dropped the veto with the note that you don't want druids to have alternate kill conditions? tongue.gif

In that case, I'm not sure I'd like to see a Shadowcaster Fae.. thing (*twitch*) Druid that could thornlash on their balance -in addition to- their normal arsenal. It's a clever idea, but would require thornlash to be toned down quite a bit, wouldn't it?

I didn't say I agreed with Narsrim.

edit: does harstone have a mana kill?


They do not. They have Gore, which impales if they are below 50% health, and insta kills if they are below 25% health.

I guess you could set up an Assess trigger, but that's more work than a contemplate trigger since (I think) Assess both requires equilibrium AND uses it.
Shiri2007-12-09 07:54:03
Use discern instead. Contemplate speed and gives an output like this:

You stare deep into Someone's soul and discern that:
Someone's health stands at 6766/6766.
Someone's mana stands at 6474/6474.
Someone's ego stands at 5827/5827.
Someone's power stands at 10/10.

More mana cost though. And Alianna is too young to afford it, aww.
Unknown2007-12-09 07:57:52
Yeah, the fact that it's halfway through mythical is a downer. XD
Furien2007-12-09 08:56:25
Yeah.

And there's no way I'm pay 150 credits just to avoid wind in the trees. I want trans Stag! And Druidry and Dreamweaving, while we're at it, since they're sitting there at Myth. crying.gif

Druids are fine. If you fail as druid you fail as anything else.

Druids are only linear cuz nobody is creative.

The first thing isn't the problem. It's not about druids being underpowered or even necessarily overpowered.

What would you recommend for the second, out of curiosity?

Trans stag is sweet, more so than Druidry, and as long as you have Narcolepsy in Dreamweaving, you're pretty much fine. But getting Stagform is great, with the cheaper stagstomps and stuff. dribble.gif Get people falling asleep, blackout, vines, stagstomp them while you're at it.
Krellan2007-12-09 20:56:46
I'll make a slight correction on gore here. It has a flat 33% chance to to impale. It is no longer dependent on the target's health.
Krellan2007-12-09 20:58:26
I also think it'd be interesting if druids could thornlash the person while sapped, but not be able to thornrend while sapped. Or they could thornrend, but if all four limbs were lashed and the target was sapped then it would just do as it always has, cause bleeding based on the number of limbs lashed.
