I seem to be missing with my cavalier bashing attacks a lot more often than I used to, anyone else noticing a difference?

I feel like I miss as a Cavalier far more than I did as other specs (as well as often getting 3 misses in a row), but supposedly they have tweaked it a few times to fix a miss-rate that was too high.

I don't really know what's going on there. I haven't coded anything in to actually track the rate, so it may not even be accurate, that's just how it feels.

How does a tracker get snakes and is there a bestiary or list of snakes anywhere?

It'd described in the hunting 'snakecharm' ab, which can be found here.

You've got to go get a crystal egg from the mesa compound, and make it into a net to catch the snakes.

As far as bestiaries go, I don't think there is one for snakes. Most orgs have a CHELP POISONS type file, that will have where you can get particular poisons. You'll probably want to go with poisonous snakes, so any sort of list like that should prove invaluable.

EDIT: I've heard that snakepit isn't so great though, and that spikepit works better. YMMV, I suppose. Not sure if that's true or not.

Snake pits are really not worth the effort.

How does scan in discernment work?

Scan shows a list of people in the area that are in an outdoor room. It does not list indoors. So it's like scent, but not as good.

Scan works through stench (outdoors, of course), but it does not show the name of the room like scent.

Is there an in-depth guide to debating anywhere?

For anyone who has upgraded from level 2 to level 3 wounding + stat runes on their warrior weapons, how big was the difference? The price to upgrade is a bit steep and I mostly want to make sure if I should bother getting these when I next can, or hold off and buy other things I've been wanting.

BROWSE AUTHOR MORBO, he published a book about debating that's pretty comprehensive.

Unless you're rolling in credits, I'd say buying other things before the level three runes is a pretty good idea.

They weren't worth it to me until the 30% sale. They're a bit hefty and the return is relatively small

Talan did a play (I'm 99.9% sure it got sent to the world stage so you can see it there, I believe) where she and a partner.. Xenthos, maybe, I don't remember, it was a while ago, acted out a debate step by step. It's one of the few times i can think of that someone used the theater to teach something like that. You should check it out!

So what does geomancy sickening do, and what abilities do scrolls of protection block?

Sickening is their hunger attrition, yeah?

Only druid effects that hit through protection are squirrels, storm, and swarm, iirc.

Sickening is a focus spiritable aff that weakens your hme potions iirc.

It's +20% poison damage to the victim. Ticks every 40(?)s, rather than every 10s like most things.

Thanks!

I'm a Mage now so I'm loaded with Mage questions. Can you use induce in dreamform on a fully rested target? That move seems like it has some great raiding or raid defense applications if so.

Yes, you can. It's one of the two abilities of dreambody dreamweaving that's blocked by shield, though. And at fully rested, it has a nice long timer before it does anything.

I see, thank you.

If you fleshstone a monk, do they lose momentum while the fleshstone is in effect? Do other effects, like phantasm skills, pause or does their timer continue on without doing anything?

Edit: Also, will beastmastery cure spirit cure focus spirit affs like omen?
