What does it matter if people have cursed awl pikes, mages can't parry anyways... and if they could parry there wouldn't be a outcry for cursed awl pikes, lol. I don't understand the underhanded push to make them use other weapons and types just to get something cursed, by forcing them to use two handed staffs you tie up the hand that could be holding a wand or stave or unblocking shield. 

i cant even remember the last time someone tried to disarm me in a PK situation that couldn't rip a cursed weapon out of my hands anyways, as a personal opinion I think cursed weapons are only good vs mobs. Constantly in game I'm fighting mobs that dirt, disarm, trip and bash where without a cursed weapon you can't even play the game in these areas. A melee class can get away with being disarmed because of dual wield, double shield, shield block and dodge, a mage gets disarmed and there goes their only defense no matter how crappy it is. 

[aaa]

The only way I'd consider playing an invoker is with a cursed awl pike + shield while also having 105 in parry, otherwise you're gonna get chomped super quickly. 

Mages have resorted to getting the cursed awl pikes because of (dare I say it) the powercreep of melee.

Could just give mages dodge instead of parry as @Erelei wanted, problem averted. 

[Dale]

I am 90 percent sure I started that trend...

[Kyzarius]

You know, now that i think about it going around threatening to slay and eat people for having awl pikes is even more rediculous since they could of been looted. 

[Manual Labour]

Yes this is absurd, just considering how long it has been going on already. The last merchant I talked to claimed to have a "healthy stock" of cursed awl pikes.

To me this is no different from threatening to punish anyone who bartered a nodrop item, since it is a loophole on trading items you normally couldn't...

[Fool_Hardy]

help parry
PARRY
Syntax: AUTOMATIC

If at first you fail to dodge, block it.  Parry is useful for deflecting
attacks, and is successful more often than dodge.  Parry requires a weapon
for full success, the hand-to-hand skill may also be used.  The best
chance of parrying occurs when the defender is skilled in both his and
his opponent's weapon type.  All classes may learn to parry with their weapons.

help dodge
DODGE
Syntax: AUTOMATIC

The ability to dodge improves the character's natural agility to the point
where many blows will miss the target.  The chance of dodging is also affected
by the dexterity of the attacker and the target.  Warriors, thieves, rangers,
ninjas, dark-knights, paladins, berserkers, and monks may learn to dodge in
combat.

 

Dodge sounds good for mages, until you read the help files.

 

 

[Tantangel]

Considering that parry now takes into account of you STR and not DEX, pretty much the highest STR a nonqrace mage can get is 20 being Human? I am excluding Giant races who can be Clerics for the simple fact I've not really paid attention to those since I came back and played again. Many of the races who can be mages have very low strength that are pretty good in terms of overall magic and possible HP gains from trains. At the lowest that stat is again 20? Excluding Giants again at least. Having played a few casters in recent months as well as melees mixed in, I've seen six rounds of combat on MOBs at times not be parried at all. Not having a reliable source of blind like many melee classes, makes trying to solo sometimes extremely painful. Even at 105% for parry it fired off a lot less than with melee classes with higher STR values. So although the help files make it seem like parry is a better choice, dodge still seems like the better choice in many cases unless you play a Cleric. In those cases it has seemed that going for the lower DEX races have been more beneficial simply because you can then use the Cleric like a Melee class if you so choose. High damage output from melee and magic, as well as multiple other defensive spells/skills, makes them a  more logical choice. Although it wouldn't happen, having it be selectable as to what you would want between the two would be nice, but because I don't see it as a high priority despite the fact that those are my more favorite choices to play as in terms of classes. Though I'm leaning more towards enjoying melee classes a lot more in some instances.

Slight correction here.  Parry had always taken DEX into account instead of STR.  These two were flipped not too long ago and there was massive QQ'ing, so it was changed back.  Like, within days.

Edit: Or what seemed like days.

[Anume]

Re Ff0xx: I've smacked that down on this when I caught it before. We had a long discussion about this after Lejarak, who was the first to abuse this and I was feeling uncomfortable doing anything about this as it would have profited my mort (Thulgan), so I ignored it on that one. This was a mistake. Sometimes we, as in the Imms, need to make peace with players calling us cheaters and smack down on something that is circumventing balance even if our own mort profits from it. After Lejarak, I've smacked down several people whom I've caught abusing this feature. You can be sure I'll smack down on the next one I catch as well.

[Anume]

Fine guys, I'll just put in a note to all in game so nobody can scream "But I didn't know it was circumenventing balance!" even if it is absolutely obvious that it is. 

[Kyzarius]

How is it circumventing any balancing...if it has been done for at LEAST what 3, 4, 5 years?  Isnt it THE balance at that point?

When was barter added?

[Anume]

Think about how many one handed staffs are out there and how many of them are cursed? Yeah, it should NOT be easy for an invoker to get a one handed staff, for balance reasons. (There is one out there but far harder to gain than the awl pike.)

[Kyzarius]

Ok barter has been around since at least 2010.  

I know in 2011 it was fixed to not allow people to be traded items that their race or class cant hold. 

So what, for the last 7 years merchants have been selling awl-pikes? 

I am sorry but I do believe your balance comments and people should know better remarks are asinine in light of the near decade this has been going on and you didnt even know.

So when Lejarak was cleaning house using a cursed awl pike + shield, nobody took notice?  And now we have a feral cleaning house, often wielding fire items to consistently keep his opponents blind but that's ok?

I'm not against this but I certainly think it's high time mage survivability (not communers, mages specifically) is addressed.  All a one-handed staff lets a mage do is get a boost to -AC and whatever hp/mana/saves the shield provides.  The awl pike itself is featureless.  That AC is absolutely necessary for any modicum of success.  So many suggestions to boost their survivability have been made.

Invokers: Flame arrow, icicle and lightning bolt can be used as range weapons - let them deal some passive damage with their low-level spells.
Battlemages: Give them magic missile so they can actually use their mals.
Necros: Haven't played the new ones yet, they seem solid.  I've never had a problem with necros other than mino charge.

[Atticus]

Anume stated she knee about lejarek but stood either it due to her Mort thulgan, who would have gained if it took effect at that time.

 

Neperak my necro mercant was designed around the cursed weapon idea. Idk. Balance is balance. 

[Trick]

 Just because it wasn't intentional doesn't mean it's not balanced.

[aaa]

It's actually quite a huge nerf to invokers to get rid of cursed awl pikes. 

Bringing this up has done the exact opposite of what was intended, I'm quite disappointed. 

 

 

[f0xx]

Wade mate, lets not act like it's the end of the world.... after all, a cursed awl pike doesn't give you THAT much more compared to what some  staffs offer.  At this point you are just trading some HP for some AC. It's called itemization.

What worries me more is 1) Anume's bias towards melees and 2) the way out of proportion threat of all parties being eaten, for using a mechanic that's been available and used for the last 6-7 years now.

Claiming that getting a cursed awl pike is easy is just absurd. My DKNs get a full malform faster than my invokers get the cursed pike. It's a bit easier now, due to necros becoming more popular, but still, not as easy as you claim.

And after you get the cursed pike, you need a proper shield too, because trading 50 hp for 30 AC is not worth it (if you are good/neutral).

Evil invokers get a bit more from this deal, since they don't have a staff as good as the pincer, but in the end, does it really matter? After the recent changes to mages' parry and the introduction of diminishing returns for AC, I don't think invokers and mages as a whole need to take another hit.

 

[Dale]

Invoker's can use charged staves as well.

 

And I'm pretty sure barter is no more than 5 years old.

[Zavero]

@Lloth, I would like to see more flails. It seems like they are lacking in variety.

Thank you for that update, I never saw a retraction or perhaps I missed it going over the changes log (of which many seem to be left out due to probably qrace/class information being on it). I still feel like something is wonky there though considering I still parry far less often now compared to the last time I actually played  before my break.

Yup, https://theforsakenlands.com/community/topic/36351-code-changes-sep-dec/ shows the inital swap, which itself was dated the end of September, but likely not public til the middle of December.  The next post up https://theforsakenlands.com/community/topic/36376-changes-12222015/ shows the revert.

Definitely an easy miss.  Even the post mid-(Sep-Dec) changes stating there was a revert.

As for your feeling, well, the mind plays many tricks on us.  Eg: you notice negatives more than positives.  Meaning it could literally be your imagination.
It's also possible that RNGesus doesn't actually like you and you're on the lower end of the curve.  In which case, you're right and it's not your imagination.

I also feel that parry seems less effective, but I would suggest this is more due to how easy it is to get high hitroll + better weapon selection from the player base. People seem to be much more on it about using the right weapon, rather than just going with whatever 'good'  weapon they happen to have.

[Tantangel]

This is from February 18, 2012. Although some rounds were pretty brutal, I usually don't parry that often in the one good round I did it in.
