Lostus scourge

Is it me or does lotus scourge for ninja suck big time? I can't remember a successful ninja that picked that ninjitsu. Doesn't seem to mattter if you become affected by it or not, just a little more damage done, especially with the save change now. Why not just give it to them and create a new ninjitsu that can compete with the others. Don't think we can give away what it does though so be careful.

Well judging from the lack of posts either no ever picked lotus scourge thus strengthening my argument or no one cares because lotus scourge sucks and no one picks it. Either way i'm right hahahaha, hmm, can't believe i'm arguing with myself.

At least that way you always win.

And lotus scourge doesn't suck.

lotus USED to stack poison damage when I used it..but now it just stacks something else..I think

When I had it billion of years ago it sucked.

As long as it's not pulled back up to what it was when very first implemented... lacerates every round for 10 hours was bad...

Doesn't even sound as bad a plague. which last longer and does more damage near the end.

Hehe - except that poison is 10 times an hour

Oh yeah forgot about that, that is too powerful

Yeah and it use to be even more powerful.

plague does a percentage of your current hp in damage..it's hard to actually die from it

Not quite, Celerity.

Are you sure it's a percentage of current HP? I've found it starts off with hits, scratches, injures and then gradually gets worse over time. By the time it begins to take it's toll, I'm usually at about 20-100 current HP remaining and it's doing MASSACRES and such.

As for lotus scourge, I've never chosen it with my ninjas. Not because it's rubbish - I don't know that seeing as I've never fought or seen a Ninja with it before, it just to me, sounds the least appealing of the Ninjitsus; I couldn't imagine the bonus it gives being too much of a bonus, else it would be overpowered. Be careful what you say, because the Ninjitsus are selectable skills, and the thread might be closed, or similar...

Dey

plague goes up to a certain point, I've had it do mangles about 7 hours into a 13 hour plague session. I didn't get to live long enough to see what it did after that.

Yup, plague kills, lotus scourge sucks anyone think it should be beefed up or changed to something else I mean what's the point of a lore that no one chooses? ie. warriore lore whip buffed up weaponlock due to suckiness.

Have you ever had lotus scourge as a ninjitsu?

I've been meaning to try a Ninja out some time. They look fun, but seem to be pretty hard to play if you don't have the hitroll/damroll. That Lotus Scourge does seem like it's pretty weak though, but I hear it actually poisons dwarves and such, so it couldn't be all too bad. Don't know if it's true or not, but it could prove useful if so. And I did see it once hit someone, but all it did was just that. Hit every round or so until it wore off. Doesn't really do much to a 50 aside from maybe lag them at a temple healer.

Have you ever had lotus scourge as a ninjitsu?

No because it sucks. But i know what you're saying I should have tried it out first. But I know what it does have had friends try it out on me and enemies unwillingly mind you. And unless it was changed since then, it sucks. My argument is so well thought out and full of evidence isn't it?

Haha that's pretty funny because I remember not so long ago when it was the ninjitsu to have and people were complaining about shadow strike.

I had lotus scourge and yep,it sux hardly.
