Splintering Weapons in PVP

[Gorbs]

... make it shoot rainbows.

I approve of this change. Give it a rainbow shooting effect when it procs for everyone on the screen to see.

why people still talking about this is beyond me...

This is one of the biggest dex monkey threads I've seen.

Is splintering OP right now? No. Will it be in the future? Yes.

As of right now there isn't many godly DP weps with splintering around. With everyone still farming shame it's only a matter of time before they become common.

Can someone honestly say it's fair for someone to be posioned/bleed/and slept all in one special? Poisoning isn't the easiest thing to cure people, and will be even harder to survive if you're bleed and walking too.

People have mentioned that there are form someone can cast into to combat splintering. Should anyone have to cast into a form in order to just counter a PROPERTY on a weapon?

Lets see how pathetic we can continue to make pvp I guess.

really a lot of this would be fixed if they removed guard zones from fel towns again. All those gimpy dexers would be forced to contend with full template mages again.

Here's the irony which I'm sure many of us that know who you are see with this thread.

Your characters are a dread mare mystic mage. There's nothing balanced about a dread mare, it hits for 40 damage FB, 30-40 damage bites, and has no slayer type with 600 hp.


Your other character is a stealth deathstrike ninja. The current system of smoke bombs enables you to instantly hide AND walk away, effectively making your risk against any template aside from a Detect Hidden char null and void.


Splintering is not nearly as imbalanced as the 2 primary aspects of your 2 main characters.

As stated:

If you're a dexor and you're splintered
----------
* chug a potion
* use a bandaid
* use an invis potion (drops flag temporarily)
* disarm the opponent
* use chivaly healing if available

If you're on a mage and you're splintered
--------
* chug a potion
* cast mini heal
* cast protection (2nd circle, you'll get it off)
* disarm the opponent
* use an invis potion


To be fair, if you're a mage it's the easiest to deal with since you can just spam your Protection key.


The fact splintering brings the rediculousness of the way smoke bombs work back into check is worth it's weight in gold.


If they make a slayer for your dread mare, and don't let you instantly start walking away with the smoke bomb, heck ya nerf splintering, make it shoot rainbows.

LOL I haven't looked at this thread for a month... glad to see that everything is still all about me... Also I am pretty sure that anyone who says "use an invis potion" as a viable source of survival should be ignored. Thanks.

P.S. Something needs to be done about bestial suits... they are ruining the game.

When I get splintered I close my eyes in real life - that way they can't see me and I survive!11

Splintering goes to 30%... with focus attack thats 60%. Splintering is basically the same as putting a person on foot... except the person doing it doesnt have to be on foot.. and you cant tell when it is going to happen.

Cetric, its funny how you reply to everyone of my posts with a comment about taming... yet I dont know who you are. I am sure you are some bad player who I have killed over and over.

If you compare it with bolas, at least you need a weapon skill to use it.
