You have been KILLED!!

You have died, but the Carrion Fields are not finished with you yet!
Your soul is returned to the realms in the form of a ghost.
You will return to your corporeal state in a short while.
Be careful, for even a ghost should fear some dangers!

This legacy seems to be a 'win all'. I have no problem of it being a bonus, but a slowed, offhandless gnome with so much -dex and -str should not be severely out tanking an assassin. With skill dodging and blocking of flees coming up in only the time it took to get him down that much health, I seriously think this legacy needs tweaking. Either let the person forget what they learn when their adrenaline is gone or stop pumping up the charges so fast that this happens.

I actually don't have a problem with the way striking is performing in this log. Nuekar's losing a fair share of fights; his legacy is definitely not acting as an 'I win' button.

That being said...

What I do have a problem with is the fact that a hand to hand warrior currently loses basically zero of his offensive power no matter how far his stats drop. That is something I've been meaning to address for a while and keep forgetting, but finally did last night. Hand to hand is still almost certainly the best spec to have as you near 3 str/dex, but probably they'll notice losing a bit of oomph if extreme stat loss sets in.

I did spot and fix a few small bugs with this:

>As you turn to flee, you are shocked as Nuekar has already cut
>off your planned means of escape!

But nothing that would have made a difference in this fight. I'll slap up some bug board on that when I get the chance.

Not so much in that they're scary but that they're hard as hell for a bard to bring a lot of their best abilities to bear on.

Not to diss Nuekar, mind you... I've got a lot of respect for how far he managed to go without being inducted into Battle, as a Battle-app warrior living with those restrictions.

That's awesome.

I fought neukar growing up. He's not a dummy.

I don't think I would've gone to the trip spam quite as early as you did. C'est la vie.

nt

could win that battle or how to act but how much power this legacy gives (I do not think Nuekar wins/loses means something :)) For me it give more than any other legacy I know :) (I do not know much legacies though)

p.s. I do not see why warrior with this legacy should have superiority on enemy he just killed :)

>could win that battle or how to act but how much power this

>:))

It absolutely means something, unless we assume he's an anomaly as a player for his choices. I mean, probably overhead throws more damage in a single blow than any other warrior skill, but it doesn't really make sense to look at that in a vacuum.

To have Striking and use it effectively, you need to build a "smart" warrior. Many of the "better" warrior racial options aren't. You need to build a warrior who will have long fights; many good builds don't skew that way.

And so on... to build a character who really can use the legacy, you need to make a handful of choices, most of which are sub-optimal. The rest of the character and what they're able to accomplish is meaningful.

>For me it give more than any other legacy I know :) (I do
>not know much legacies though)

When it's running at full power that's probably true...

We'll just toss the doesn't-work-against-mobs thing aside. I mean, it'd be handy for raiding and what not if it did, but I don't see that as an enormous drawback to this legacy.

Neukar's legacy choices are fairly evident from this log. What he notably does not have is anything I would consider defensive. A gnome pole spec is not what I would consider a great tank. The wonder to me is that people aren't more frequently blowing through him before the legacy gets rolling. Resistance is nice, but it only goes so far... and personally I find it hard to keep Five-Color as Battle for very long, since most of your opponents will want it even if they don't want most of your gear when they kill you.

If I told you: You can have the toughest legacy in the game. All you have to is be a gnome warrior, fight an opponent for like 20 rounds, and not die. Then, you'll be in great shape and ready to whip up on them. I mean, how silly is that? Doesn't a warrior who's looting his opponent's corpse on round 6 just sound better?

>p.s. I do not see why warrior with this legacy should have
>superiority on enemy he just killed :)

Logically it makes sense (you don't forget how to beat that guy's ass that fast) but game-balance-wise I probably could agree with changing that so you 'forget' people who die.

Does it matter if you (the legacy haver) die? Do you forget people you have fought if you die? I would argue that it makes logical and game-balance sense for that to be the case (seeing as how you "forget" experience gained and whatnot).

Without looking at the code to be sure, I think so.

Are we sure it makes sense? By the helpfile I would say defeat doesn't matter. And what if two warriors have the legacy and one dies, one keeps his full advantage and the other needs to build up again?

Maybe not *great* but definitely pretty good. Low weight and small size means good dodge even with mediocre dex. Distance seems to work just fine for him, and of course he can also parry. Resistance is only part of the picture, he has at least two other significant elements that allow him to extend a fight, or escape one he's losing. Plus he probably has top-tier hitpoins for general-purpose endurance. Remember also that if he is lucky and gets a few parry bonuses early in the fight that helps. And if he doesn't, he can just run away and still be better off next time. He doesn't have to get 20 rounds in one fight.

All in all it's a smart build, that aligns several different elements. Basically it seems to take Dinkertot and add a few more relevant pieces. I don't think it's overpowered by any means, but it does seem quite solid all around.

Except for the 44 or 48 levels of being a regular (actually worse since he's village) gnome warrior.

Here are my general thoughts on the legacy:

1) It only works for warriors who are typically at a large-to-huge disadvantage pre-legacy against the most popular combinations for enemies in the game. Elf warrior, gnome warrior, etc, should get fairly easily thrashed with their melee vulns pre-hero without support class assistance from 11 to 44, because midround attacks like drum and flurry, not to mention the almightly bash will own them. In combos like this, its advantageous to feverishly rank to hero, which not only excludes them from some of the most high-lethality rate fighting in the game, its also boring. Additionally, these combos tend to further need lots of preps and good gear to work.

2) This legacy, for whatever it does, doesn't make me want to play an elf sword spec when fire giant sword spec over the years has proven itself to be a tried and true powerbuild. The amount of effort you have to put in one over the other isn't negligable. If I applied that same effort to a "more garden variety" build, I would imagine over the long haul I should expect better yields. However, it is easy to become confused when you stack up a skilled elf warrior next to an unskilled giant warrior. Skill trumps build, as Jinroh displayed with his specless tribunal warrior.

3) Neukar in specific doesn't seem like a tough character to fight. I don't mean this as an insult to the player, I mean this based on his choices. I can't see a single character I'd play having trouble against that combo and I'm not sure how anyone can. If he was a dagger spec, then maybe I'd be worried, but hand/pole is not the most offensive choices in the world. He can barely lag you, can't cause bleeding and can't dish out 800 hp in 2 rounds. As far as rager warriors go, I'm a lot less afraid of him than I am of your typical dwarf axe spec.

4) I've seen 200 pk assassins and warriors regularly, when I see a 300pk gnome one with this legacy I'll be inclined to believe its overpowered.

I think Nuekar's got an interesting and certainly so far unique build. It can do some things more common builds can't. But, that being said, I don't exactly see it replacing staples like fire sword warrior.

Much like I'm sure Nuekar is.

.

> He can barely lag you

Not really true. He can get trip lag reasonably reliably. That's not overwhelming, but it's not nothing.

>4) I've seen 200 pk assassins and warriors regularly, when I
>see a 300pk gnome one with this legacy I'll be inclined to

He can't lag, and he doesn't do fast damage. I don't think any competant mage should die to him very often. In fact, anybody who can word reliably in combat should pretty much never die to him if they're halfway cautious. In fact, neither should an assassin. Vanish could've saved nanorab easily.

Here's the deal with what you just said. Let me preface this by saying that I don't fully agree with the original poster that the legacy is grossly overpowered, but I'm not sure I agree with you either that it's all peachy.

As I understand it those 20 rounds don't have to come consecutively. So I can hit you, fight a few rounds, flee, then maybe fight you again later, etc. etc. After that, I'm going to have a relatively easy time whipping your ass. Not just whipping your ass and making you run away, but turning you into a corpse at my feet.

That's what people take issue with. The fact that it's so difficult to *achieve* that advantage and that it comes at a price (having to play a sub-optimal race, having a legacy that's useless aganist mobs, etc.) may be mitigating factors, but they're just that.

Suppose there were a legacy that was predicated on having an extremely low constitution. Over the course of a character's entire life. So, to have this legacy work to its full extent, my character is going to miss out on some serious hp. So it's sub-optimal. Let's further say that for this legacy to work, I have to have 100 gold on my person. (I realize that makes no sense, but bear with me.) So it takes some "engineering" to make it fire. When it works, by command, my character gets the "slay" command for one tick, but it doesn't work against NPCs.

Would that be a good legacy? Would the fact that it 1) forces me to choose a sub-optimal combo, 2) requires alot of "work" to make happen and 3) doesn't work against NPCs somehow negate the fact that giving "slay" to a mortal is just silly?

Now, obviously Striking doesn't equate to "slay" even when it's working at its best. The point people are trying to make is that maybe it's closer to the hypothetical situation above than you (or anyeone else) wants to admit. (*)


(*) I'm not sure I agree with the critics, but I'm pretty sure that's where they're coming from.

Nuekar tanks very good with distance. The logs where I do not maledict I get maximum of 8-9 melee hits without backfist. I got less than that in one fight on this one. My problem with legacy is that it gives so much in so short a time. I have a fight where I was hasted and he had kanset/owaza on him. It made no difference and I avoided only five hit, three dodge and two shield block in four rounds it takes him kill me. I had fought him for maybe eight rounds in the veil before that. If its going to give a gnome so much make it slower for them.

Here is list of things he got in that fight: Lot more damage, block fleeing three times, parry all except ONE hit in last fight (four hit in first fight), dodge skill like flow of shadows (better than flow of shadows, I never would take this legacy anymore) and hit like hasted.

If he learned it in fight before and didn't forget when both us died than he needs to forget it. I only fought him few times (dillo was taking hit most of time) and him removing parry after first four rounds (I was hasted) meant I lost fast. How does anyone stop you dodge at all while haste? Its too much.

This legacy is lot of other legacy put together. Nuekar picked ward of blades, chilling embrace, flow of shadows, whirlwind of steel and way to block flee. Not better than all legacy put together, but it is better than taking any three together. Never pick smart race and take ward of blades, when have striking. Same with flow of shadows. Maybe chilling embrace or whirlwind, but this better than whirlwind where my arial who boneshatter get mace parry plenty still.

Nanorab's looking at this from the perspective of a class that TYPICALLY also works best in long fights. When I fight assassins as a warrior, I typically find I want to clean up assassins quick, because if it lasts more than about 6 rounds, they've got a serious advantage. Unfortunately for him, Nuekar's got a legacy that also fights well that way. If I seriously wanted to kill Nuekar, I can think of an honest five to seven classes that should do VERY well killing him. You honestly think he'd significantly outlast a giant just drumming him to death?

On a second note...I probably wouldn't complain about "XXX just wiped the floor with me!" when you're not exactly showing the best use of your class skills against him. Yes, it's probably what works for most fights, but obviously that's not what's working against this build. At the very least, maybe let's try using a weapon he's not frickin' RESISTANT to? Honestly, poison against a gnome? Change up your tactics, and try something else.

All this from a class that can frickin' insta-kill ANYONE, given the right circumstances. God damn, people.

Oh, and by the way...he hit TWO in-combat attacks more than you did, in that whole slew of logs. What did the most of killing you is that while you were busy tripping him for grazes, he was busy devastating you with crushing blow, or taking two-hundredish hp off with pummel.

1) Trip was the thing that stood out to me the most in that log. Nuekar didn't seem to be going anywhere, and wasn't obviously using a ton of short-lag commands (which Trip could conceivably force to be two rounds apart), so all Trip was doing was inconsequential damage.

2) Beyond that, Nanorab deliberately went to a single dagger (I think-- can't check from here) and bare offhand. While Backfist has its moments, I wouldn't give up Dual Wield for it on purpose, and a dagger isn't exactly the best offensive or defensive choice. (Especially a poisonous one, as noted.) As you noted, they still got in roughly similar numbers of hits-- Nuekar was making his count more.

3) Most (all?) kicks are blunt, and several lag or maledict. (Throw wouldn't work here.) I don't know if Nuekar had Five-Color in that log, but if Nanorab wanted to stress his HP, he had good alternatives available.

All in all, not a great log to say anything about Striking. I've looked at that code previously, and while it can get pretty good, the advantages given aren't as insurmountable as advertised, even in the rare situations where it's in full effect during a PK.

1. Expecting someone else to help (a dolphin/orangutan), who didn't. Both times.

2. I'm felar and dual wield claws. I frowned because I was getting zero on offensive on a kanset slowed, wrist broken gnome when I was hasted.

3. Most of my kicks aren't blunt damage right now.

What I want to show is that I did a lot to stop him defending himself and hitting hard. His dex was very low, he was slowed, I was hasted and he did have strength gear but not enough to stop it dropping at least -12. Code and working skills are different and I wanted to show how it wasn't 'insurmountable' but that it was more of an advantage than several legacys put together give and was actually better than having something like the less malediction legacy and the ward of blades legacy put together. Daevryn posts that hand to hand will not defend as well when maledicted maybe that made the difference. I can wait and see and I don't like bitching about it all as it makes the game no fun. Nuekar is a good person to fight and he makes it fun but after so many easy, easy wins from his lagging drive when I have stoneskin, haste, martial trance and maledict him so bad I just wanted to show that its stronger than anyone thinks. I read on www.qhcf.net that people do not think it makes the biggest difference in a fight. I wanted to show it does and it isn't just me.

And whine that it is overpowered?

It's to inflamatory to allow for a good discussion.

If it's used in a post, I urge that we not respond to it.

Trip can't be bad against a dying (supposely) opponent after very successful kot/kan combo.
Placed well it also may reduce the number of pummels.

Even if he goes the lag route, Nanorab's got at least two kick options that are roughly as accurate and laggy as Trip, and deal a good bit of blunt damage to boot. (He implies elsewhere in the thread that he's using gear that changes that, but those things also boost your damage, and slashing plus that is probably as good as blunt.)

Change that and the odd hands option (staff? sword/shield? spear?) and he probably presses his advantage early enough that Nuekar is pretty beat up by the time Striking gets rolling, especially in the first fight. It's not a good pair of logs to judge the Legacy by.
