I was talking with Doman and disintegration came up but we can't think of a way to do it that doesn't already exist as something else.

I could see something like... higher flight elevations that can only be accessed by an aeromancer using a single target skill on a player (lift them up and then shoot them into the stratosphere or hurl them at the ground) though that seems easy and wouldn't work if twister dumps them back down.

Well then drop it I guess, but you shouldn't move amuptate up to 4th degree. There's no point in using anything that will amputate once they're at 4th degree, you just CREMATE them then.

Unless you 1) Don't want to use the power, 2) Are in the next room over because they're running, etc. Passive amputates are kind of insane, no?

They're not nearly insane enough, in my opinion.

I didn't say you can't be those two.



I say OFF WITH THEIR HEADS! /aliceinwonderland and then razor winds just decapitate them. no pressure.

EDIT:

Or create a blackhole inside their bodies so they got sucked into black oblivion.

Oh and when someone was mentioning phoenix names...Dartien heard you...guessing that's why it was dead earlier 'unno

You can't cremate everyone. You can, however, work to keep everyone from leaving by making sure they are dissolved so your meld hits while you work on cremating others. Also, what Xenthos said, though of course that only works if they are dumb enough not to read protection or to put it up again after you strip it, thankfully most are that dumb.

With amputates as low as they are you can steamroll just about anyone who does not have above average curing. This is not balanced. This is like the early PPK monks. I am willing to wait a month though and see what happens once people actually have proper curing in place for it all, but I don't imagine my stance on the bleeding or the level at which amputates happen will change.

FTFY

He means if they get away from you at high burns. Of course, effects only hit in a one-room radius now in a much smaller demesne, so that's less of an issue. You should spend that eq moving away, not raising protection.

Yes, thank you for posting what Dissolve does. I didn't know. I feel enlightened.

If they are out of the room there is no reason why they shouldn't be making sure protection is up. Hell, if they are in the room they can spare a moment to put it up in a tight spot. So, no, you are wrong in that they are intelligent for not putting it up again. Many people get it stripped, or never put it up to begin with, and get hit by a meld with no melder in the room and then complain that a meld is OP.

EDIT: And it's never correct to raise protection in a melder's face. It's a far more efficient use of eq to shield.

Right, but getting farther away is not always an option. I would rather take a couple hits from warriors in the next room over while I am popping protection up, instead of getting another meld tic on me.

Edit:: And even those people who run far away and cure usually forget to put protection back up before coming back in. Just in case for some strange reason there was some impression that I was talking 1vs1, I will clarify that I am referring to group fights here. All sorts of times in group fights in opposed melds I have had my protection stripped, put it back up when I had a moment to spare or a meld was getting to much with everything else, and kept on going. Targets change so much that a melder can't always dissolve you fast enough to keep a meld hitting on everyone. Many people I find, don't do that though. They forget to put it back up or don't take a quick moment to toss it back up in the middle of a fight to offer a delay on a meld.

Why would you ever target someone who raises protection where you can see it? It's a free action. Trigger it.

Dear Aeromancers, folding fans > air staffs.

Jelaludin has been a trill for a long time so I think I'm going to join Hallifax

Love Hallifax, dislike novicehood. I want to learn my skills. D:

You are alting.

Naughty.

Bite the bullet and move your main!

Heh, if you were big moving to the Pyromancers, you skipped novicehood...here's the text for it

Scuchidira has advanced your novicehood by 5 hours, for the reason I RULE THE FLAMES!!!!!

You gotta love her.

This. Xenthos should also move.

Only if these aeros ditch their staves and switch to fans.

You are holding:
"fan156080" a Fan of Storms (enchanted with gust)

You are wearing:
"brooch70374" a Brooch of the Tempest

I'm already set for it!

That just proves you're a Aero at heart.

No, really, I need a warrior who actually knows how to fight so I don't look so bad being the only one.
