Sheesh. Testy much? Learn when to stop reading.
Malarious, whether you like it or not, has a valid point. Quickened amissio's can be out sipped. No sparkles or scrolls, against an target with average health/mana like Talkan. Even with addiction, malarious is outsipping amissio. This isn't like your axe that can easily outpace wounds and curing of most cloth users (if not all cloth users.) Nor are your "previos experiences" as a Nihilist going to hold much water. Curing has improved drastically even since I've started playing, so they've certainly improved since you were a Nihilist. Aeon is not reliable. If you can't aeon someone, how do you expect to kill them with a mana kill. If you can't kill them with a mana kill, your other options are...soulless and damage. Guardian damage is pretty tankable, so that leaves soulless for any non knights. That dosen't sound too fair to me.

1. Stop using Nifilheima Symbol
2. I changed from Nihilist two weeks ago
3. Curing hasn't improved from my last wrack kill three weeks ago
4. I'm not using a newbie weapon and an adept skill and just holding down jab chest
5. If a 15% magic rune affects amissio, you'd need it for the actual test to be anywhere near comparable to that axe, which did NOT outpace sipping pre-runes
6. Darksilver is amazing and can be used for sleeplocks
7. Dominate is amazing period if you have a brain
8. Why should mana kills be a viable option on heavy mana targets? Damage isn't an option for me on cloth targets with resists and high health. Are you saying I need a damage buff?
9. Look at what you're saying for ten seconds. He is not on full offense, he is not trying anything other than quickened amissio spam. This is really supposed to kill anyone? If that's the line you are balancing around, you will have a lot of rebalancing to do so other guilds can have it this easy.

Your points are pretty silly. If with no hinderence, you can't even cause someone to eat sparklberry or read a healing scroll one time, it will be impossible in a real fight. The standard for testing mana drain is no offense, no passive straight drain when it comes to cosmic guardians. This is basic knowledge. If you can't do it in an ideal situation, you won't be able to do it in a fight.

@Desitrus:
It’s not so much that Quicken Amissio didn’t shoot Talkan down to below half mana, it’s that WITH JUST mana potion he was able to stay above 80%. I’m not suggesting Quicken Amissio should work by itself. I’m suggesting that Quicken Amissio should at least require mana potion, sparkleberry, and healing scroll to override.
There is a substantial difference there. At no point in this thread have I suggested Quicken/Amissio should overcome curing potential standing still. I have suggested that its too weak because curing potential exceeds Quicken/Amissio by a ridiculous amount

And we're saying that the ideal situation is, in fact, during a full-on offense, not leaving someone free to cure. Look, if Shuyin turns off parry/stance/rebounding and I hammer his chest with jabs WITH the artifacted axe, I will never get him above medium wounds or kill him with damage. Thus by this logic, under my optimal conditions, I need a damage upgrade.
What do you want? Manamindblast? Supermanasplosion? Develop your skillsets to supplement the draining if need be. This is why monks are getting the speed nerf bat, or did you miss that? Overall, people think it is wrong if you hit a speed increase skill and "bowl people over".

Monks didn't get a speed nerf. Races did, and it has effected other classes more than it has effected them. Amissio before racial changes was at a perfect balance. Racial changes have obviously messed that up, along with countless other things.
And, if Shuyin had 4000 health, and could stay below medium only applying health, yes something would be wrong.
Celina2008-05-03 18:54:30
I'd have to agree with Talkan here. If Talkan and I are agreeing...something is either very wrong...or the points Malarious is bringing up are actually Valid.
Compare the mana kill to telepathy ego kill. Both need to be down to half to work, and work essentially the same way. Telepaths have cure hindering that meshes perfectly with their ego draining, and works on even high ego targets. Nihilists can either afflict...or drain mana.

Though I agree with Desitrus, Xenthos, and others in this thread, if all you want is the previous Amissio speed (presumably, as one of the speed-nerfed races, like Mugwump), then make the simple suggestion that Amissio equilibrium time be reduced by the same percentage? It's not like Amissio is suddenly draining less mana per use, is it? So, the speed is the only issue here, and that can be quite easily adjusted. However, that now makes it better for other races, and that's often the problem with suggestions like this...
Do you have timestamps from before the racial changes to show how long it took you to recover equilibrium from Amissio (quickened and not)? If so, then you can compare and make more reasonable suggestions here.

Once mana drains also cause an affliction that is cured by applying mana and allows more drain or afflictions then sure! (Mana wounding!)

People with this 8349h, ---->6555m, 4761e, 10p, 30900en, 26400w elrxk<>- have always been able to outsip succumb, even PRE-NERF. The problem is when succumb blows away 1/3 of your mana.
