13 2 Banish blasts Old Turtle 6 for 23273 holy damage.

I swear, it would be nice if I could've crit that...

Blast is crit. It's just named differently for mages for some reason.

And of course, now that both of us are going into dark. . . I give it two patches before Tenboro gives Humanoids 75% innate resist (purely to troll Frith by making it impossible to buff Eila's PL via Dark resist any more, of course (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) ).

I. Would. Cry. (See my last post on the previous page.)


Though then we'd probably start seeing a major influx of humanoids and undead...


You all heard it from us first. So when it happens, you know why. But maybe, just maybe, Tenboro will read this and go: I'll spite them by not doing it.


Watch him spite us by giving humans 100% resist to dark and holy...

Seems like you guys are joining the dark side.

Fenrir gear is hell expensive though.

The Undead are already here. You just don't notice them for the same reason I don't notice Dragons.

But trust the Cold mage, the zombie apocalypse is already upon us. That Old Turtle 6? He was merely the first.

Fortunately, only a few particular ones are Chaosed up enough to be an issue.

I would laugh. Then I'd go buy a real Estoc and wait for the next patch, and mark up all my spare Niflheim by about 500%.

Back in the early monster lab some classes had innate 75% resists (or maybe even higher, I forget but seem to recall Celestials/Daimons being Impervious to Holy/Dark respectively). These got toned down once Tenboro realized that Celestials having +75% vs Holy out of the box was batshit insane.

Humanoids, zombies and also sprites are easy to melee though. However, sprites are a pain in the butt due to high AGI.

Oh trust me, I notice them. There just isn't this giant spam of them like with mechanoids (though they are up there in the mobs I see most).

But I'm sure that we'll suddenly get an influx of even more undead soon enough... I guess I'm going to stick with the 'cleric' path. Hybrid cleric... hmm.... Sounds like i'm going to need that HA and Scythe soon... (My 'traditional' "mad cleric" gear).

We knew you were coming, so we nerfed plate in advance (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) .

I can't tell if you are joking or not =_=

My club has Soul Strike, and since Soul is getting removed... What will happen to it?

(Looking at the somewhat good nif staff I got makes me realize that a fenrir staff might not really be for me since I like the massive supportive boost from my priestess staff) >.>




Seriously though, what is going to happen to soul and such that are getting removed? Like abilities and monster PLs/crystals included.


Will they get replaced by something, completely just removed or...

My goals right now: Build a true holy (offensive) set, a true dark set, and a lightning set along with a cold set (because everyone knows computers prefer it cold)

Woot. I've only now noticed 0.73.2.

Thank you very much for this!

Like maybe...
- Convert all Quintessence crystals in inventory into equal numbers of the other six types (eg if you have 15 Quintessence you get 3/3/3/2/2/2 the other types)
- The soul resist stat is removed from monsters, and trainers get a number of elemental crystals equal to the number of Quintessence crystals they had ploughed into it, also divided equally among the remaining six types.
- Cost of reaching a given monster PL increases, but it doesn't exactly break the game.
- Infusions of Gaia will probably just be deleted, so use them up.
- Celestials and Daimons can pick Holy/Soul and Dark/Soul respectively for their third attacks; it just becomes Holy or Dark, or they might get an elemental choice, e.g. Holy/Elec and Dark/Fire.
- Sprites have Soul for their third attack. They get Void just to buff them a bit.
- Points of Soulproof on Item Worlded armor are distributed randomly to other potencies that aren't maxed yet, so IW levels aren't lost.
- You get up to 22 Ability Points back from retired ability slots
- Soul strike on weapons turns into some other type. According to the chart on the wiki, net base resistance is not equal across the types, with Soul being the best. Astral weapons could just be turned into ethereal weapons, and get a random elemental strike if they were Hollowforged, and Item Worlded ethereal weapons with Soul strike could get 50/50 Holy/Dark so they don't lose out too much.
- Some replacement for Soul Reaping. The simplest option would be a skill that lets you trade some Overcharge for Spirit points, or there could be a new deprecating spell that procs Ripened Soul.

- Sprites have Soul for their third attack. They get Void just to buff them a bit.

They don't need buffing.

They don't need buffing.

You holy mage and they have +25 Holy resistance, I dork mage and they have -50 dork.
so... I can see the difference in perception.

See sig

You holy mage

Actually Holy+Dark. They don't need buffing.

Extremely minor UI "bug":
Hovering over a hath purchased aura or gold aura states that it does not consume an aura slot.
Aura slots have been removed by 0.73 so that tooltip is unnecessary and confusing.

Actually Holy+Dark. They don't need buffing.

I melee, and only melee. They're weak as hell against melee. I think they need buffing.

Am I the only person who has no clue at all what type of monster each is? I just kill them all regardless . . .
