And learn some new things!
sure its not as good as stabbing someone who's hoe but good is a relative term, its still devastatingly effective against demonics/shadowspawn so long as you yourself are demonic/shadowspawn
It still works well if you know what you are doing.
By 'less', I was being inclusive of 'moral' and less committed evil alignments.
That's why I said 'moral'
Actually, no, I wasn't. In my experience, when anything less than demonic, I find it distinctly passe.
Was he not being sarcastic? :p
not really naith, i've shredded people pretty bad with it, its nice because you can get a 2 handed stab with 75 tactics and then shift grip without losing a busy round to feint, headbutt, ram and slam, lots of fast instant damage. only icy and mels are better imo
The shadow sword is garbage in that context, Vermond.
Grimscar, yeah, especially when supposedly 'moral' guild members use it to slaughter Sauron's minions.
I never said it was a copy and paste. it's what i freaking remember from what happened, but i do remember the exact hp loss. because it was so dramatice. since the 2 changes had just taken place, and i was shocked at how much damage had been done.
I find it funny how all the people who say they are so skilled and _good_ MUDders are the ones who leave when gameplay gets slightly more difficult.
Grimscar is unbalanced anyways.
Shadow sword is unbalanced anyways.
Wow. You reply fast.
Yes I know..that was..clear.
Hirgail. Vermond was saying about how Adoni just made those emotes up and Adoni said 'No its copy and paste' but he put 'sneeks up ans stabds you from behind'...instead of 'sneaks'! I hope I made my point!
No, Adoni, I was trying to kill you. :)
Oh yeah, did I forget to mention that is a stupid change? The way things are going, a phial will soon cause you to DIE.
Sneeks?:P
sneek?:P
how does it look stupid
You might want to copy it somewhere next time you quest it or learn the real emotes, because the way you write it makes it look stupid :P
We wern't trying to kill each other, just testing out the new bs with the new two handed change
Actually, if you have SS you can headbutt and feint as well, it would potentially take you from 230 to 70s at least.
Ya....
NO, i ment freaking 146.
:P
You gained 16HP from a backstab with Black sword?
They changed bs alot. it bloody hurts. specially with 2 handed weapons.
The Shadow Sword (enveloped in a black Lightning) (Wielded)
You sneek up and stab scat from behind!
You slice Scat from top to bottom!
You Slice Scat from top to bottom!
(Also one of the Pimp double hits from SS on this one)
Scat went from 230 to 120.
The Black Sword (Wielded)
Scat Sneeks up and Stabs you from behind!
Scat suddenly feels very evil and mangles You into a bloody piece of gore!
Scat suddenly feels very evil and mangles You into a bloody piece of gore!
I went from 230 to 246
I have tried that with charge too and didn't get so close to 150 :(
Guess I am far away from things, its just what I read in logs that made me believe they upgraded backstab.
Good luck killing guys:)
Not really Polk, if you keep secondaries trained and use a strong weapon (like fang) to stab and do all that shit, you can consistently get 120-150hp.
Guess you're one lucky mofo then.
It is instant now though, and with only 60 assassination and right combination of other abilities/not-so-rare-boosts, I have managed to do a 150 hp instant attack combo with a fang
Yeah, they changed the pwoer of two-handed weapons, but they didn't change backstab to do more damage....just depends on what weapon you are using...if it's two-handed, then I guess it's stronger...
They increased the damage if its a 2 handed weapon. And you happen to have alot of tactics.
100 hp backstabs are very rare, and happen only with one or two weapons that I know of. Mostly, even with those one or two, you still only get a 60-80 hp stab, then the follow up hit does some damage...I don't think they increased the damage a BS does, unless I'm mistaken.
it isn't so much that i think the change is stupid as i'm pissed off because it was done with no warning whatsoever
Balanced? Are you insane? As much as I heard, the Smart Heads of the Mud changed backstab and now people can land around 100hp backstab. Then they obviously downgraded the flasks so that people cant heal.
You call this balanced? Increase damage and decrease healing. Its instant death. Its normal though, considering that there are very few good players left on the mud and the newbies must stand a chance.
But come on, give some chance to those oldies to have some fun without some newbie killing them on a stupid change.
That change is what fucked me over too. Fuck you to whoever made the change without fucking telling anyone. Such bullshit.
Also: does this go for all flasks? black, bronze, ER ones?
So now, if I understand correctly, if you drink a second dose before you get the 'rejuvenate' message, that dose is wasted? That's retarded. If you have to space out the heals, make it not let you drink a second dose (and waste it) until the first heals you.
And if you don't manage to kill them on the initial strike (ie: you didn't time worth shit) they deserve to have a good chance of getting aawy. Considering all the bangs and stuff, flasks are balanced now days.
I like the change. Now people can't chug 4 drinks and get knocked to bleeding and be healed up to mid average shape.
gnuluk killed me because of that stupid change :/
Yeah, this flask change is gay :(
