#36705, "Bloodsteep"
|
Bloodsteep: Ignoring the weapon restrictions (which are a big deal since you generally don't use sword/dagger/spear as an orc) the "disease" this inflicts doesn't seem worth the effort in time/damage. It also doesn't seem to have a very good infection rate. I was trying to get Mundin infected in the last series of fights before I deleted, and it never tripped. I actually managed to infect him with backbone plague first. This seems wrong. Also, the interference with spinebreak means that using bloodsteep tends to be a bad idea in the very situations where I would consider using it (to wear down someone I can't bash, i.e. a mage/priest).
You can also contract actual plague from looting corpses that have been bloodsteeped. Which sucks because the effects aren't as bad as plague from my experience. Someone can correct me here, but plague is deadly if it is left un-dealt with for too long, where as the orc "disease" from bloodsteep seems to be, at best, annoying.

Some (hopefully) constructive orc criticisms.
