I'm a bit curious how that last part could actually happen. I don't see sensitivity appearing anywhere, and I only got one round of attacks to the head, which... I don't think should change damage from around 500 to 2000 so... what did I miss? I had the stroke of genius in forgetting to raise the hood on my robes but still... it seems a bit much.

And then there's that Glamour. I thought that... "Maelstorm" only hit personal enemies?

Well, two lunges to the head without robes raised can easily get you into heavy, which increase monkdamage a lot.
Daereth2008-04-27 20:24:01
You got ganked, that's what happened.
Zacc2008-04-28 00:37:03
One lunge to the head, the other was to the chest (unless there was another one we didn't see). Three hits by the monk to the head, too. Why did the symbol unwield when hit to the head... was that a poison? But yes, monks can do 1k+ if wounds are high enough. Though, I have noticed that ninjakari manage to pull it off a /lot/ faster than Tahtetso and Shofangi. Vathael probably hit with a ton of wounds, which instantly boosted the monk damage. Woohoo for damage based on wounding- monk + warrior combos are soooo much fun.

The maelstrom was probably Carameshian's?
Shamarah2008-04-28 00:55:24
Monk damage scales VERY heavily with wounds.
Kiradawea2008-04-28 16:39:37
blackeye.gif Didn't notice the lunge to the head. For some reason I thought both attacks hit my chest. But yeah, that'll explain it. Knights tend to get me into critical wounds with 1-2 attacks, even with my hood raised. Ah well, I blame it for being way too late for me anyway.

I'm still curious about the Glamour though. I thought it only worked against private enemies, since I've walked into several Maelstorms before, but this is the first time one has actually hit me.

Course, if someone has actually bothered to keep Kiradawea on his/her enemy list... I don't know wether I should laugh or feel honoured. freaked.gif

Most people enemy the person they're jumping or anyone at an event...
Kiradawea2008-04-28 20:00:45
Yeah, but I had just transversed to Astral, so unless he can somehow read my name in the spam and then enemy me in less than two seconds, there has to be another reason.
Furien2008-04-28 23:07:29
Bards and Demesne users usually check QW and WHO, or have their frequent enemies always enemied. I'm not sure how long you were up in Astral, but he probably noticed you beforehand.

For reference, as a Tae'dae with level three physical resistances, a charm with blunt/cutting, and 55 cutting robes...Vathael gets my wounds to heavy in one lunge. Your wounds would have been really up there.
Asarnil2008-04-29 07:56:02
Racial Cutting/Blunt resist has no effect on deepwounds Celina.
Shiri2008-04-29 08:06:21
Nor does the charm, I'd imagine.

Eh? But how do those work? Immediately enemy someone who transverses onto Astral? Don't they have to actually know my character exists first or? *shrug*

Ah well, I've gotten the help I needed. Thanks everyone.
