#2, "Evasion"


          

I was musing on hth specs and how to actually make evasion a useful skill and worth practicing (this is from a couple of months ago when it drifted by with no comments; I'd copy-paste it here, but I get a weird "you don't have posting rights" error with long messages):

#350, "Santa Zulg brings you coal"

I read through it and I read it that you just want it to be evade (which they already have). Apparently H2H specs don't agree with you that it's a useless practice, since all but 1 have practiced it and improved in it.

So long, and thanks for all the fish!

#360, "Actually I just wanted it to improve defenses"
In response to Reply #1


          

I.e. dodge and parry (+slightly better FEINT), at the cost of reducing own attacks (so similar to imperial training, but only for hth specs). A noticeable improvement, though not on the order of DANCE or WARD, but quite close to defensive two-handed specs (spear/staff/polearm), as hth specs would have a similar number of attacks/rnd while using evasion.

Thanks anyway, seems like you've made quite a few other nice little tweaks this year.
