Training: In House: Warmaster Style

[cabal]Ujasen: Grim, I've got a weapon for you.
[cabal]Ujasen: A clockblade.
[cabal]Ujasen: Changes shapes to exotic, sword, axe and polearm.
[cabal]Ujasen: Perfect for ytou.
[cabal]Grimsyop: Aye, that would be nice indeed.
[cabal]Ujasen: Cannot be disarmed either.
[gtell]Skhreem: The sword can flameblind.
[cabal]Ujasen: Where are you?
[cabal]Grimsyop: Aye, and the polearm is vampiric.
[cabal]Skhreem: We are in the Ford.
[cabal]Grimsyop: The Ford.
[say]the Titan: Almost stepped on you there Skhreem.
[cabal]Ujasen: I have always wondered, why a Herald would need to be so decked.
[cabal]Grimsyop: Because he wants to become a target for the Syndicate I would guess.
[cabal]Ujasen: Cannot be attacked with his shield.
[cabal]Skhreem: Can be abducted by a Syndicate.
[cabal]Ujasen: He can?
[cabal]Skhreem: Yes.
[cabal]Skhreem: If he has a bounty.
[say]Grimsyop: Much appreciated!
[cabal]Ujasen: And a healer wearing the winged sandals...That's just a waste.
[cabal]Ujasen: He can make himself fly with ease.
[cabal]Skhreem: Lazy.
[cabal]Ujasen: Very.
[cabal]Skhreem: That is what that magic does!
[cabal]Skhreem: We have the strength to overcome.
[cabal]Ujasen: We do.
[say]Ujasen: I'm still wondering how you hitting me so much, you crazy monk
[say]Skhreem: You are weak to piercing attacks.
[say]Ujasen: No I'm not.
[say]Skhreem: Oh.
[say]Ujasen: I mean...how are you landing so many hits.
[say]Skhreem: Very accurate!
[say]Skhreem: Prove it!
[say]Ujasen: This time I'm gonna beat you up!
[say]Skhreem: How long do you need?
[say]Ujasen: Ready.
[cabal]Grimsyop: I want to check if I can actually hit Skhreem once I get a couple talismans, I will be back in a moment.
[cabal]Skhreem: That's the spirit!!
[yell]Ujasen: GLORY OR DEATH!
[cabal]someone: That makes zero sense.
[cabal]Ujasen: Zero sense. You are more defensive than me, while being a lot more offensive at the same time...while that aura kicks my arse all the time!
[cabal]Ujasen: Zero sense.
[cabal]Skhreem: I would think you would be better off to use a shield to make me bleed, then dual wield and use a bow.
[cabal]Ujasen: Then I will lose even quicker.
[cabal]Skhreem: Sometimes, being stuck to your hand isn't always the best.
[say]Skhreem: I'll let you begin.
[say]Skhreem: When we are ready.
[say]Grimsyop: We will wait for timer.
[say]Skhreem: I don't use this aura against the Savants.
[cabal]Ujasen: Nope. Zero sense. Just shouldn't be like that.
[say]Skhreem: You won't be able to watch. Find a safe place to rest.
[say]Skhreem: We can move to soil if you wish.
[say]Skhreem: I am ready then.
[say]Grimsyop: This is just as well to me.
[say]Skhreem: So, here it what I see here.
[say]Skhreem: With your axe and dual-wielding flail, you are nearly defenseless to start.
[say]Skhreem: Not sure how you tried to begin, but it was easily countered.
[say]Grimsyop: My defense will never outdefense you, so tried to out offensive you with dual axes which you do nae train in. No flail used, twin axes.
[say]Skhreem: Haymaker is your best friend against a monk.
[say]Skhreem: Will remove a monk from their stance.
[say]Grimsyop: Switched weapons while you napped.
[say]Skhreem: I see that now.
[say]Skhreem: Here is how I would try it Grim.
[say]Skhreem: Haymakers to remove the stances, force the monk to back down to prepare.
[say]Skhreem: Utilize weapons that would blind me with smoke.
[yell]Ujasen: GLORY OR DEATH!
[cabal]Skhreem: Try to dirt kick quickly with melee as well.
[cabal]Skhreem: Poison and bleeding boast more than useful tactics.
[cabal]Grimsyop: Actually tried to avoid dirt all together on water, you can dirt kick as well, but you've got blind fighting, I do not.
[cabal]Grimsyop: What I gain from being blind is far outweighted by your blind fighting.
[say]Skhreem: Beginning on water?
[say]Skhreem: Begin.
[say]Ujasen: Ready?
[cabal]Skhreem: Had you made me bleed, I couldn't heal right now.
[say]Skhreem: Ouch.
[cabal]Ujasen: Yeah, there is no way. Your aura, which I cannot avoid, hits harder than I do. Your hits never miss. I give up trying to make sense out of this.
[cabal]Skhreem: How protected are you?
[cabal]Ujasen: You defend better than a staff wielding warrior, while in offensive stance.
[cabal]Ujasen: Zero sense.
[cabal]Skhreem: How protected are you in your armor?
[cabal]Ujasen: I have roughly around 400 stones of defense.
[cabal]Skhreem: Roughly?
[cabal]Ujasen: Exactly as much right now.
[cabal]Ujasen: While wielding the staff, or dual wielding. Close to 500 with the shield.
[cabal]Ujasen: Fifty four stones of hit roll...fourty five of dam roll.
[cabal]Ujasen: It just doesn't make sense.
[cabal]Skhreem: Fifty six stones of accuracy in defensive.
[cabal]Skhreem: Nearly 70 stones of power in tiger stance.
[cabal]Ujasen: You weren't using tiger the first time. Were still dismembering me through stance with normal strikes.
[cabal]Ujasen: Didn't even see a chakera.
[cabal]Ujasen: And I still lose miserably.
[cabal]Ujasen: And that aura...on top of everything, haha!
[cabal]Ujasen: I don't think there is anything I can do to beat you.
[cabal]Ujasen: As things are.
[yell]Ujasen: GLORY OR DEATH!
[cabal]Skhreem: You were much closer than you think.
[cabal]Skhreem: But, you were not able to keep up and pursue.
[cabal]Ujasen: Closer, doesn't make it a win.
[cabal]Skhreem: Feel free to leave the Ford.
[cabal]Ujasen: I was trying to heal. I would've been evaporated in a round from your aura.
[cabal]Skhreem: For no true measure of combat can be confined to just the Ford.
[cabal]Ujasen: You just shouldn't be so offensive, while still keeping your second hand parry and have that aura, on top of your pressure points.
[cabal]Ujasen: It is senseless.
[cabal]Skhreem: Yet, I've lost in combat several times.
[cabal]Ujasen: How I wonder.
[cabal]Ujasen: Your mind must have left you.
[cabal]Skhreem: That did not occur.
[cabal]Skhreem: You have joined the crucible Ujasen. I am not undefeatable.
[cabal]Skhreem: Now you must conquer yourself, in order to conquer me.
[cabal]Ujasen: Then the only way is for someone to utilize your weakness, without fear of being disarmed.
[cabal]Ujasen: That IS, the only way.
[cabal]Skhreem: I can picture that little moon lady now. There are many paths to choose, only a few lead to victory.
[cabal]Skhreem: Yet, she doesn't care about victory. Ha! We do!
[cabal]Ujasen: Which moon lady?
[cabal]Ujasen: Nefir?
[cabal]Skhreem: Selavyth.
[cabal]Skhreem: I am moving to the Camp, in case someone attempts to get a drop on me.
[say]the Titan: Almost stepped on you there Skhreem.
[cabal]Ujasen: Wonder who in their right mind would willingly fight this...balanced monk.
[cabal]Skhreem: I have since become a prize commodity here. Seems to be a hefty sum upon my head.
[cabal]Ujasen: Just like that doll...VERY balanced.
[cabal]Skhreem: There are many powerful foes.
[cabal]Skhreem: Many different styles of combat.
[cabal]Skhreem: Many different solutions to the same problem.
[cabal]Ujasen: Not really. You and that doll is what I have encountered so far.
[cabal]Ujasen: Everyone else I can take.
[cabal]Ujasen: EVERYONE else.
[cabal]Ujasen: You cannot fight against unlogical things though.
[cabal]Skhreem: Do you think you should be able to defeat everyone and everything?
[cabal]Ujasen: I should just leave it at that.
[cabal]Ujasen: Yes.
[cabal]Ujasen: Abilities, which cannot be blocked, but cause such harm should not exist.
[cabal]Ujasen: That makes utilizing tactics usefull.
[cabal]Ujasen: Doesn't in this case.
[cabal]Ujasen: Oh well...It is, what it is.
[cabal]Ujasen: We cannot change the world now, can we?
[cabal]Skhreem: I admire your ambition to think you should absolutely conquer the battlefield. That is the drive that we want from our soldiers.
[cabal]Ujasen: I WILL conquer the battlefield. No one, who doesn't have such abilities can stand in my way.
[cabal]Ujasen: No one.
[cabal]Skhreem: Not every battle, or war, is won with brute strength.
[cabal]Skhreem: So, without that aura, you would defeat me?
[cabal]Ujasen: Most likely not. With you being so defensive, while in offensive stance.
[cabal]Ujasen: You should be limited to parrying with only one hand, while offensive.
[cabal]Ujasen: Period.
[cabal]Ujasen: Defending with both hands IS the whole purpose of defensive stances.
[gtell]Skhreem: The feats in which we are trained are truly amazing, are they not?
[cabal]Skhreem: The feats in which we are trained are truly amazing, are they not?
[cabal]Ujasen: Apparently.
[cabal]Ujasen: Yet me being a master of war has little meaning nowadays.
[cabal]Skhreem: You can clearly strike with two weapons, one in each hand, whilst firing a bow.
[cabal]Ujasen: That has never made sense either.
[cabal]Skhreem: Arrows which I cannot prevent.
[cabal]Ujasen: Arrows, which do not hurt even half as much as the strikes you land on me, or your aura.
[cabal]Ujasen: Which I fire once, every other round of combat.
[cabal]Skhreem: I feel you have the ability to defeat me, just not the mindset or will power.
[cabal]Ujasen: Which have a chance to MISS!
[cabal]Ujasen: I don't even care about defeating you anymore, honestly.
[cabal]Skhreem: Then what do you care about?
[cabal]Ujasen: I just give up. Won't waste my energy fighting something so extremely...broken.
[cabal]Skhreem: I seek to learn from every battle, honing my art.
[cabal]Ujasen: Anyway. I take my leave. Be well.
[cabal]Skhreem: Do we have yet another defeat from the crucible?

Guys... I need you to explain to me how conversations like this are acceptable. (In prayer if you seriously want to take me up on this offer.)

[cabal]Ujasen: I have roughly around 400 stones of defense.
[cabal]Ujasen: While wielding the staff, or dual wielding. Close to 500 with the shield.
[cabal]Ujasen: Fifty four stones of hit roll... forty five of dam roll.
[cabal]Skhreem: Fifty six stones of hit roll while defensive.
[cabal]Skhreem: Nearly 70 stones of dam roll in tiger stance.

I'm not angry. I am disappointed.

Let me be perfectly clear: this is not acceptable.

There is no ambiguity here. This is not RP, and it is not a close call. You are explicitly discussing hit roll and dam roll over cabal chat. Those are game mechanics; not concepts your characters possess or should be sharing.

If you want to discuss your character's combat prowess, do it in character. Talk about your skill with a weapon, the strength of your stance, the resilience of your armor, or your confidence in battle. Do not discuss numerical mechanics.

This is exactly the kind of behavior that erodes immersion and pushes conversations out of character. It needs to stop. I might be new to staff, but this is not acceptable.

Please use this as an example of what not to do going forward. We have a great RP community, and I know we can hold ourselves to a higher standard than this, and I expect everyone to uphold that standard moving forward.
