Wathok Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 I wonder... if a ninja with a magical-damage weapon attempts to assassinate a mana-shielded invoker, what would happen? Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest emp_newb Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 I say the assassinate would go through. It is not actual damage so much as just outright death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calron Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 Heh, I've done this before I'm pretty sure. The assassinate still works. There isn't actually any 'damage' thats outputted from the code source if the assassinate its succeeds, it just buffers out a message and does raw kill (ie like slay), so it makes sense.

Guest emp_newb Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 dispel is more to scare than for damage...although the damage is very nice too people usually react by fleeing and of course, standard things like trying to find eq to poison, missile shield and so forth If you can use it right, you can get the dispel out and some big damage before they flee. Also if you keep dispelling non-sancing classes, they will keep using up all their sanc items, not to mention have to lag themselves to resanc, which means if you get another dispel off, they have that wee bit of lag before they can flee.

goldbond Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 dispelmagic is the most powerful spell in the game, in a certain way with certain race/class combos. it's why if i ever make a character that needs to worry about saves at all, i subconsciously let mental svs dominate that proportion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kahlos Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 Makes sense that a magical weapon assassination attempt shouldn't work against a mana shielded invoker. Logs showing the assassinated invoker's affects would be useful though. It's hard to believe that an invoker had mana shield up when you attempted the assassination.

kahlos Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 I guess so.. The damage will be nullified but that doesnt mean the blade isn't sharp anymore aye? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
