Re: Curing poison

Eval shouldn't affect the amount you can greater heal for. I had GM magery on my dexer in T2A (with no eval or med) and I did ~50pt greater heals.

Re: Tournament Discrepensies

i think your using too many big words which is an incredibly infantile logical fallacy. This only shows how weak your argument is. Your posts are only hurting you. if your about this thing perceived as "skilled" pvp. then you wouldnt mind a little poison. mages use it against straight dex...

Re: Tournament Discrepensies

Thank you venox for reading my original post and for making arcanus look stupid for trying to flame me with capital quotes. "READ ORIGINAL POST" all you;re worried about is getting dp'ed during a fight, not the logistics, fair0ity ( is that a word?) and overall satisfaction of these 1v1 t...

Re: Tournament Discrepensies

My problem is with DEADLY poison. You cannot DEADLY poison with magery. DEADLY poison will ruin the events. Flash conveniently lumps all poisoning together as if it's the same. Deadly poison does significantly more damage and is significantly harder to cure than the other levels, which serve solely ...

Re: Tournament Discrepensies

Let me summarize the points I've been trying to make since your reading comprehension or the ability to grasp simple concepts isn't quite up to par. The use of DEADLY poison without the ability to use cure potions in a 1v1 tournament, REGARDLESS of class, creates a large imbalance, skewing the playe...

Re: Weapon Swing delays and Archery trial on Test Center

Weapon timers are insane. Check out this short video I took of the halberd speed (about 2.7s between swings) by unequipping and equipping at the right time.

Re: Tournament Discrepensies

What I am trying to explain is that your comparisons between bandages and swords to spells is an egregious logical fallacy. Are you seriously so out of touch that you conveniently ignore that while an ebolt does an instant 8-36 damage or so, it also takes 20% of the mage's mana, while weapon swings ...

Re: Tournament Discrepensies

Flash, you're exactly right. These tournaments are about PvP skill. Playing a dexer requires significantly less skill. Do you honestly expect to have a substantial chance at beating skilled PvPers when your only defense are bandages? While a mage has to time and prep his insta-hits, conserve his man...

Re: Tournament Discrepensies

If poisoning is allowed, cure potions should be allowed. It (DP) is a gigantic advantage, and is very difficult to cure with the cure spell (like 5-8 attempts), especially when you are getting dexed in the face. This would create a large imbalance. I disagree with customizing the rules to individual...

Re: Weapon Swing delays and Archery trial on Test Center

Don't tab out and problem solved. There is a reason nobody tabbed out during this era and this is that very reason. UOE had an attack last feature if I remember correctly. My opinion is that nobody tabbed out back in the era because there was no "attack last" macro for a large portion of ...

Re: Weapon Swing delays and Archery trial on Test Center

I had a reply ready an hour ago or so, but got tied up at work, so some of the points I may be making in this post may be redundant, but here goes: One should keep in mind that the "attack last" macro didn't even exist until pretty far into the era (http://update.uo.com/design_25.html). It...
