Something else new this fall, my Mage Poisoner's Poison Walls no longer poison all Solen Infiltrator

[Tanivar]

My standard way of killing infiltrators has been leading a bunch through a Poison Wall and then Hiding while they die. Just restocked my Powder of Translocation and a good 10% or more weren't poisoned by the Walls. The Devs are apparently tossing in little changes to the game.

The ants are learning 100% energy or cold 50 DI 30 SSI, hit lightning, and hit mana leech War Hammer and whirlwind kill them faster anyway Next fastest get them in a choke point and spam wither. Or use war hammer and wither at the same time. But I guess for a lazy mage poison fields are the fastest

Yay unannounced changes for no reason!

you cant hide when you have a critter poisoned anyways.
each time it ticks per critter it rolls to pop you out of hiding.

It'll keep us from getting to used to things. A little paranoia that critter we can kill in our sleep might suddenly throw us an unexpected curve and fillet our hides will keep us a bit wary.

Not with 100 Hiding and 80+ Stealth it doesn't. Actually try it, you stay hid. When I'm carrying the Poison skill, leading things through a Poison Wall and Hiding is a routine thing. I'd rather click my Wall macro and Hide macro buttons on my mouse than press the ebolt macro a couple dozen times. Arthritis bites so I lean towards slower minimal movement game play.

Not sure what the min stealth is but yeah I was not revealing at 110 stealth. put poisoning on a bit ago on a 110 mage/100 poisoning and you are right, not all that walked through were poisoned . Second field or a trip back through the first did get 100% coverage. Will try 120 mage and see if that makes any difference. Treatment day so might not be soon

I have 120 Magery/100 Poisoning with 100 Hiding/97 Stealth currently. Ran 80 Stealth for ages until recently and poisoned monsters taking damage wasn't revealing me.

I'm just leading the Solen back through the Poison Wall a second time or casting double Walls and getting them all poisoned solving the problem. A little more time, a touch of hassle, *shrugs*. Have to admit, parking my character and picking up my iced coffee, and to being a bit surprised a solen was surviving to make it that far towards him. Then it started whomping on him.
