68710, Thieves's cheapshot
Posted by A thief on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
I heard you can permalag (or "almost permalag"... can't remember) someone with trip and cheapshot.
I wonder if it also work on flying people with weapon trip and cheapshot?
Thank you for your help.

68729, Last time I played a thief with wt and cs

Was Ild I think. Rager defender.
Weapontrip could only be performed with a sword or mace in main wield (if you were dualing) I assume you could do it just fine with a long weapon. At one time you could lead with a weapontrip, then it was changed. Not sure what the status is on that.
Cheapshot will fire on wt. wt + cheap shot seemed better than a regular trip, but not by much.
Trip + cs was permalag if you got the cs every time and didn't enter any commands between trips. I seem to recall it not being perma lag once and I think I attributed that to scanning or something between trips. Not sure if the necro talking to his IMM at the time had anything to do with it, but I doubt it.
I also remember getting ***DEMOLISHES*** with cheap shot with spiked-toed boots, so get some of those.
I would never make a thief without cheapshot and if you're going to have that perfected, weapontrip didn't seem to much extra for those who forgot to quaff.

68711, No because weapon trip is way less lag than trip. n/t

1) I heard trip lag 1.9 round, so what is your "less lag" ?
2) If I weapontrip flying person, does cheapshot trigger?
3) Do you know how long cheapshot lag?

68713, Sure.

Trip and cheap shot is enough to get the first command every time.
Weapontrip is less than a round that I've seen. Cheap shot with it certainly helps but you can't rely on it for solo kills.
Also keep in mind that at this point lag is buggy so none of it really matters or is consistent.

68717, I thought that had been fixed for a bit there.

Then I tried to trip someone.

weapon trip lag depends on a weapon used. If you try to trip them with a dagger, it's way less effective than tripping them with something more suitable.

68714, Successful weapontrip does trigger cheapshot
Posted by E4rth on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
Weapontrip is not as reliable as trip, doesn't lag as much. But it's a solid skill.
It won't permalag your enemy but can certainly seal you some kills and is very useful for defending raids or ganging down enemies. I think it's worth the points if you've got cheap shot. Even more so for felar.

68716, This sums it up perfectly.

It's well worth the points if you're ganking.
And you should be.
For the lulz.
