From walking in, Desitrus's first hit till the last hit, I had a total of .32 of a second where I was not stunned or paralysed. This isn't a bitch about Desi, he's good at what he does, this is just pointing out the slight imbalance with warriors right now.

My stats: No negatives to anything, Splendors 71/69 fully proofed, 42/41 shield, fully deffed.

Ackleberry Highway. (road).room find Ackleberry Highway
This location is flooded with shallow, crystal clear water. A smattering of
clouds fills the sky, lacing it with spiderwebs of grey. This ancient road
curves from north to south on the eastern side of the basin of civilization. The
ground of the road is compacted tight under the weight of centuries of
travellers, merchants, heroes and villains trekking back and forth. Two channels
have been engraved within the road from the weight of wagon wheels carrying
their heavy cargoes. Smoke curling from her nostrils, a night mare paws
impatiently at the black clouds that roil beneath her hooves. Desitrus Kamau
towers here, shrouded. He wields an angelic battle hammer in each hand.
You see exits leading north, southeast, and west.

could have lived if you spammed East instead of southeast.

Which is entirely irrelevant. When running is the only solution to something like that, it is certainly not balanced.

Inquisition?

I haven't encountered the ability yet so I can't give an educated opinion on the matter. I have encountered the warrior bit, so I feel quite qualified to chime in and say for a good deal of us...ow.

Desitrus was giving me quite a beating too.

Then I realized I wasn't wearing any plate.

Xiel was doing 2k to me.

Passively.

Why am I hitting your leg harder than your head, which should have trueshield and a hood covering it? Also, your stun prompt bit isn't accurate, at one point you shrugged stuns but your system thought you were still stunned. Seems like damage buffs aren't going by weighting at all, as I was sitting at something like +40% or so and it really shows with wounding hammers. Probably need damage caps and a good look at buff scaling. War domoth + war karma + vendetta + aggressive. I also have a favour in this for the first time in a while, which is part of what makes aggressive so crazy when it draws from the defense.

I still wonder about head vs leg damage though, unless you aren't wearing a shield?

Well, I think the point he is making is not the damage, even though that is kind of way too much for hammers, but that he physically couldn't do anything, which I've encountered with both axelords and BCs.

Stun+paralysis+speed of attacks is enough to keep most people from putting up much of an offense...or even running.

Desitrus tickles me.

All rock clowns aside, why are you prone when the log starts?

He isn't. Check this:

That log doesn't start from the start of the fight, since there is no way Ethelon's max health is 3.5k.

(Though warrior damage definitely needs to be looked at, 4k damage + stun is lametastic.)

Faeling.

Ethelon, Fist of Luciphage (Male Undead Faeling Changeling).

He has some hangedman/trample thing he loves to do as a faeling.

Wow, level 96 faeling has 3.5k health? I totally overestimated faeling health.

Pshaw, nice psi channel.
