During that time gm resist was very uncommon. With that in mind, magic damage was a lot more relevant. On the flip side, GM resist is very common on this shard so the only way to effectively deliver a lot of damage is using the halberd. So what you have experienced is adaptation and change.malice-tg wrote:also in era nobody had 35 dex as a tank mage and seemed to do fine in no pot duels.
Please, please, please, do a forum search. If you have evidence that contradicts the ridiculous amount of info on the topic, please bring it forward.

well-timed Spells+ 1 hally hit are far more effective than hally spam, the problem is people don't meditate because they go into the "hally spam trance". Adapting is making sure that no matter what you hit everytime your opponent hits, so if you want to gain mana do it but don't get hit without hitting back else you'll lose out on mana. It's still possible to kill with spells despite pvp being a lot about the hally now than before.GM resist is very common on this shard so the only way to effectively deliver a lot of damage is using the halberd.

i did. and the only 'solid evidence' we have is an 11 hp miniheal screenshot from back in the day. the same thing was told to me about swinging mechanics and now it's being looked at. and if you played at all with a gm mage (and have a decent memory of the era), you will remember that it was 7-12 (i think 13 hp gheals were very rare) hp. it wasn't aways 11, 12 or 13 hp being healed. people died more even when they were chugging heals and minihealing while running away. here, it's hard to die if you don't want to fight. it's a small change but it would make a world of difference.Mikel123 wrote:Please, please, please, do a forum search.

I taught Erik(old Zsv) pvp from scratch. He won tournies and defeated some of the best on the fieldGo gather up some players and teach them the ways of the mage Halbu.
What you are referring to is called a 'ninja patch', according to Faust such things never existed.Rose wrote:O.K.
Pre-T2A Google Groups post's say that you swing on the run.
The T2A Demo shows that you can swing on the run.
A Patch note in April of 2000 (5 months after the cutoff) says that you can now swing on the run. This patch note has been interpreted in such a way that staff believes swing on the run did not exist at some point during the t2a era.
i disagree pvpers i was fighting had gm resists generally.. at that time you could afk macro resists right in town for a short period of discretion by osi and gm's.Fede wrote:

Please start a new thread about this topic, rather than derailing this one. I'm sorry I responded to your initial derailment.Matty wrote:i did. and the only 'solid evidence' we have is an 11 hp miniheal screenshot from back in the day. the same thing was told to me about swinging mechanics and now it's being looked at. and if you played at all with a gm mage (and have a decent memory of the era), you will remember that it was 7-12 (i think 13 hp gheals were very rare) hp. it wasn't aways 11, 12 or 13 hp being healed. people died more even when they were chugging heals and minihealing while running away. here, it's hard to die if you don't want to fight. it's a small change but it would make a world of difference.Mikel123 wrote:Please, please, please, do a forum search.

Seconding this. Hadn't had chance to play heal in it's current state until today, but it doesn't feel right. Those numbers sound much more accurate to me.Matty wrote:If you played at all with a gm mage (and have a decent memory of the era), you will remember that it was 7-12 (i think 13 hp gheals were very rare) hp
When I say that a swing is being held, I mean that the swing will not attempt to hit your opponent until they are in range, not that the swing will attempt to hit them no matter how far away they are.Ulfrigg wrote:Kaivan wrote: It should be noted that while you can run and swing right now, the error is also causing player swings to be held as well, which is not supposed to happen (this is not a disputed mechanic between sources).
Its not being held, just tried it out with a heavy xbow.
