Pincer. Does it lag the pincer-ee a fixed amount (2 rounds?) or a variable amount that's based on size and/or skill percentage?

Does the answer the above change if the pincer-ee is affected by bloodthirst?

I've always operated under the assumption that pincer lagged the pincer-ee like trip, which is to say two rounds. Recently it's been suggested that isn't true. Hence my question.

Generally, fixed. Various factors make pincer more or less likely to hit, but if you connect with both axes, it's generally two rounds. There are some exceptions, such as Shield of Ice in play.

Possibly. Bloodthirst can allow the thirsting character a chance to reduce their lag somewhat. I throw a pile of italics in to hopefully head off 500 panicked posts by people who haven't noticed this in the past. (It's not a recent addition.)

I've been looking over some logs and I suddenly suspect 5 hit drums of lagging. Its seriously inconclusive evidence but there is some vaguery that points to it lagging a guy (possibly for more than two rounds?). I'm cool with it if this is true. But I'm going to start running like hell if someone drums me next time :)

Am I right? Or am I just Pro with another sign on name?



Yhorian. Or am I?

Without looking at the code...

I want to say there's a chance (no guarantee) of like round and a half of lag there.

If it is lagging it is lagging more than the lag of the drummer. Or it is lagging in a stacked way (cheapshotish)? Can you check again, for me... pppllllease. I'll play an Imperial for you :)

This should have read: Will you please look at the code?

I invented a word based on you, but I can see that the word has lost its meaning.
