Oh, last thing. The Aeon in princess farewall is pretty irrelevent, and anyone with a decent system will tell you that. If you use it, use it for the blackout/stun. Aeon without any set up is pretty pointless.
A very valid observation.. as i more often than not get something like thisQUOTE
You stand an Aeon tarot on your palm, and blow it lightly at Thoros.
Suddenly Thoros's movements through the time stream are slowed.

With a focused look, Thoros strikes at you with a colossal brutish hammer. You are struck in the gut, and the wind is knocked out of you.

Aeon by itself, as was stated is not so hindering.. however, let us not forget that cantors have the action forcing lightcantata, and the recessional.. its not assured of course, but sometimes with the stun, you get them aeoned for a long time..

And also, the PF is multipurpose.. 1. It hides not only soulless, but a lot of things too. 2. And if im doing it all the time, at least one wont know just from "it" that soulless is in the works..
Its not like when you see a celestine suddenly orders the angel to attack, which is almost equivalent to broadcasting soulless is coming..

I've been considering going down this exact route, so it's nice to see some hard data to work with.
Ronny2008-07-10 14:41:46
Congratulations on a job well done. Predictable or not, it was pulled off and with some luck, you got the win.

Oh, heh, racing instakills is only for when you feel brave, it's by no means reliable.
Lendren2008-07-10 18:48:19
I raced instakills once with Kaervas... by accident! (Now, if I'd done it on purpose it would have been clever since I got to go first and he had to skip out once he got equilibrium back from his, which served my purposes at that moment. But as usual for me, it was just blind chance, because as a combatant, I suck!)
Silvanus2008-07-10 19:04:59
I never said racing instakills was reliable.
Desitrus2008-07-10 19:21:33
It's foolish as a warrior to race an 8 second instakill that is stopped by nothing but death or room separation, not to mention the first few seconds of it are already gone.
Unknown2008-07-10 23:09:11
Yeah, blackout hid the soulless fling.

The idea of having to blanknote in order to use a class's primary skill- sad. Why can't bards have an attack that strips truehearing, does damage, and costs power?

Raze speed > blanknote speed. What's that attack that goes through defenses (reflections, shields, etc) and /still/ does damage? I hate that attack more than I hate rushing/tripleflash for monks (but I still hate Ninjakari skillsets more than anything in the game... besides the wounding system).

None. It doesn't exist.
Zacc2008-07-13 18:16:29
Yes it does! I've been hit with it on several occassions. Standing there with my shield and reflections up, expecting them to have to remove each one while I wait to attack them off balance... but out of the blue I get damage instead and my defenses go poof. Maybe it's insane razing speed... Although, I doubt they'd be able to pull off two razes and an attack in one chunk of text.
Edit: ... Cleave is it?

I promise, there is no Warrior weapon-skill like that which goes through every defense. There are some that bypass some (well, almost all) defenses, and some that bypass others, but nothing goes past everything.
PS: Cleave is raze/raze/raze/attack (with extra balance loss). Parry/stance still kills the damage part.
Zacc2008-07-13 18:25:01
Well, not everything. But a raze/raze/raze/attack might as well be every defense against weapon attacks, not including avoid, timeslip, and any others there may be.
I'd settle for a blanknote version that does damage to deaf targets upon removal of truehearing for 2p

... parry/stance? Y'know, the main defenses against weapon attacks? And then add in avoid, timeslip, and "any others there may be"...
Further, removing deafness already stuns for a decent length of time, for no power.

They're pretty effective before trans-- not fully, obviously, but if you aren't even using them, of course you're going to have some issues.
I think that razing rebounding should stun the target. That would be quite fair!
To your edit:
The same thing happens with Warriors and Rebounding, Mages/Druids and love potions, etc. Especially the love potions bit.
