WarriorCleric Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 *Narrows his eyes suspiciously* Ok. /confuzzled So, they're checked randomly, but different defs have different chances to succeed. But since they're all checked anyway, why does it matter that it's random? They will all run through eventually, (assuming they all fail and allow each other defense to be checked) so why the change in order? (randomness) I really don't think it does. I sat thinking about it after Malch's post too, but I'd still wear a staff if the goal is to maximize defense. Random or not, it's going to check parry when parry gets checked, and I want a high parry chance when that time rolls around. Unless I'm missing something?

Twinblades713 Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Unless I'm missing something? WC Well seemingly, the only reason is so that warriors riposte more and training doesn't get effed over if someone trains dodge or parry before dual parry and riposte... that kinda thing. If that's all it's for than I guess it's cool. But it really does seem like there's more to it. Maybe I'm (we're) just reading into it too much?

Pali Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 It also makes it so you can't just rely on boosting as much as possible the one or two defenses that get checked first and neglecting the others. If two handed was always checked before parry, a couple of +2h items would make it a lot more feasible to use a two-hander that parries for crap.

Mudder Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 No, because two handed will still get checked eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pali Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 *blinks* You're right. Note to self: be more careful judging game mechanics when drinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my battlemages i use a no-rem blessed sword, because i like the free hand to hold a santuary. But i would trade it in a blink for a blessed cursed staff when fighting a non CC.
