Bash and select other lagging attacks

Bash and select other lagging attacks no longer causes full lag. It now only prevents players from fleeing not from utilizing skills or spells.

You're suggesting this as a change?

c word

quaf potion of recall

eat pill of telerport

use sky launcher

Or just keep spamming disarm, call void, thunder strike, cleaves, haymakers, or any other skill that can either cause high damage or turn the tide of the fight. Lag isn't just about stopping someone from fleeing. It's about controlling and dictating the fight.

So a lagged ninja could never die.  Just vanish? 

Or a warrior finally catches a caster in a bash.  But the caster can keep spamming heavy hitting spells anyways?

Doesn't sound like a fair change.

Again very silly counter arguments. It can be coded (no idea of the difficulty) where lag prevents the victim from getting out of battle by all these other means.

Most lagging attacks in my opinion (I could be wrong, basing this one Anume's words at one time) was intended to only be viable when you're already winning the battle?

Well yes, why bash if you are being outdamaged?

Because as it stands now it can stop people from getting outdamaged since it prevents all skills and spells. Total lag.

As it should. Like I said earlier, lag is not just about stopping people from fleeing from a fight. That's a very, very limited way of viewing a skill. Lag can be done to dictate the flow of a battle. If I am winning melee rounds, but your call void is tearing me apart then I will throw in a bash to stop you from doing that. And vice versa, if I know you're going to bash me to stop my call void, I will lag you FIRST then call void. That way, I know for a fact, my call void WILL go through. 

If I want to set up a haymaker and I know you're going to dirt kick or bash me, then I will body slam, THEN haymaker in order to fill your buffer with commands so I can get the most out of my haymaker while you are self lagged from your own commands. 

There is strategy involved and this change will effectively eliminate ALL of it. Bad idea, in my opinion.

I like how you make a suggestion.  I point out a problem.  You call my post silly, then say you meant this or that all along.  

Maybe you should make complete suggestions.

Bash is also there to prevent hybrid classes from becoming way too OP.

Imagine a druid, a DKN or a paladin if bash didn't lag like that.

Look at how weapon lock gets used.

I have killed warriors who weapon lock me on a cleric, psion, invoker, and lich.

They lock us both in combat, and soon realize that my spell output or my ability to change the course of battle with spells like dispel make them regret it.

Yeah sorry mate.  This idea is crazy lol. The only problem with lag ive ever seen is when ive been locked down 20+ rounds.

Meh worth a shot :)
