Fiere Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Does that skill even exist? It's on the encumberance help file, and there's no help file for it. If it doesn't, is there something else that is hindered by that encumberance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pali Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 If I'm right, you're asking about blademasters? The extra attack isn't a skill per se that you can train, but it's there. It's part of a skill you do get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chayesh Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Selectable skills are best discussed amongst others of your class in game, not the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiere Posted February 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 It's not a selectable skill becuase I'm not talking about bladesmasters, but monks. Help encumberance has it under there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raargant Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 ENCUMBERANCE Because monks and blademasters rely on their quickness in combat, if they wear heavy equipment, certain skills will be hampered. Here is the list of encumbrances. area weight monk skills blademaster skills arms 10 martial arts beginner critical strike legs 10 kickboxing beginner battlestance hands 5 martial arts advanced double counter, snakespeed head 5 sense predict feet 10 kickboxing advanced footwork body 5 speed spellkiller waist 10 speed powerstrike torso 15 extra attack onslaught Come on, guys. Don't give advice if you don't know what you are talking about As Viri would say, 'RTFM'. I'm not sure what extra attack is, myself, incidentally.

Fiere Posted February 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 I've got the help file right in front of me. It lists both classes and the encumberances possible, so...I don't think I'm mistaken. Speed doesn't have a help file either, maybe it has something to do with Monkey Stance?

Mister E Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Maybe it means you lose attacks if you are encumbered on youy torso? edit: and yeah, sorry bout the bad info, I was just guessing what wolfeman was saying, never seen that helpfile before...I think it is pretty new.

Goomf Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Does the skill speed exist?... Extra attack = you get less attacks. If I sound condescending, I'm sorry, but sheesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crackwilly21 Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 You lose an attack if you wear armor thats too heavy for that slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiere Posted February 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Not from what I've observed so far, both of you. I'm getting four attacks, which is all I can get, at the moment. Though admittedly I don't have the fifth yet. Also, encumberance hands has a specific extra attack it hurts. It would seem it would be the same way for torso.

Mister E Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Maybe by extra attack it means chakra hits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiere Posted February 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Seems like that's the closest guess so far, but it doesn't seem logical to replace chakra with extra attack... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorCleric Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 The encumberance help file is a hold over from the original release of monks on ar(I think). Monks originally had skills like speed, which was a psuedo haste, and they had a throw command that was a lagging like attack. It was when they were in beta, and those skills got removed or altered in some way(speed became monkey stance). So the help file, like my post, may not be completely accurate. This post is as I recall it being said from the AR forums, from a long time ago. Viri or Behrens may have made some changes. WC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goomf Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 No, monks never had skills like speed or extra attack. Speed/extra attack is exactly what it states...speed and extra attack. No special skill or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister E Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Whatever it is it has to do with your martial arts, do not be encumbered cuz it will hinder you somehow in a bad way for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorCleric Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 No' date=' monks never had skills like speed or extra attack. Speed/extra attack is exactly what it states...speed and extra attack. No special skill or something.[/quote'] Speed was a skill, the help file existed. As I said, it was during beta(or alpha even) but the skill was made and removed in favor of balance, or style, or some reason. WC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Speed is how many times yo hit a round, you will lose attacks, and extra attack is chakra hits. But not the ones you hit in stances. EDIT: Don't quote me on these and be so fast to call me wrong, I just have my opinions, but I believe these to be quite accurate for certain reasons which will remain my own.

Zrothum Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 I'd say you're reading too much into it. I'd look at it like Speed - ok, I'm not so fast anymore, my dex is hindered somehow. less defensive and offensive. Sucks! Extra attack - I'm losing one attack per round, my h2h is better than anyone, this is not a good idea. For b|ms? This is a matter of debate. Not tooting my own horn, but I'd like to think Brothem did fairly well. If not VERY well. I wore 4 pieces of encumbering armor all the time and never was at a disadvantage. With max anats and a certain combo of race/cabal...it just made alot of the blademaster key skills not even worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anithraril Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Extra attack is for monks, if you were to encumber both your advanced and basic martial arts skills but not extra attack you would get two attacks per round. At least that is what I recall, been quite a while since I played a monk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
