#38149, "Basic question"

Iit's not really about whether you beat the person or not, but how long you prevent them from playing the game. A 10 hour neurological/mind control poison will pretty much make you win any given encounter. The extra 30 ticks just makes you sit around having no fun.
It's true that the poisoner thief has to invest a lot of time to make this happen, but I don't think that matters really. I think it should be possible to spend a ton of time making other people die with greater certainty, but not to take away their ability to have fun for a longer period.
Personally, if I was looking at consistent 45 tick neuro, I'd rather it be twice as deadly and last half as long. Sitting out long incapacitating effects is just annoying.
