  A few old pieces of plank wood and nails form a small poorly built stand

before you.  Dozens of boxes filled with different fruits rest on the

stand's few shelves, each sporting a peculiarly small price tag.  Painted

across the top of the stand in big red letters are "FAHRMMERH JONHS'

FHHOOD".  Old dried and decomposing pieces of fruit lie smashed on the floor

and around the area.  Apparently not many people buy food here.

It was at this moment... he knew he F'ed up..

When baiting someone into a close fight backfires, hehe. Good try though!

Are you a were-bear?

Hahahaha what a serie of unfortunate events.

Guess lady luck was not on your side that day.

Lol. That was amazing.

You should of just popped a sanc. He would of committed at that point cause you were so low, with sanc you'd be fine ;) 

Don't druids make like 8 hour sanc potions? I've seen druids carry glimmering staffs before so if they do get popped, they can just put it back up.

PK is a game of 'if you arent winning in the first 2-3 rounds then you are losing', with winning comes the option to toy with your opponent as well as the 'uh oh' when you get caught toying. 

If you would have 're sanced' yes I would have fled, without sanc on your side it's a pretty even fight. What happened was exactly what I was looking for, one of those tough guards to land a bash. I was actually in the middle of typing flee when I saw the first bash land and said 'f it' and spammed ray all in, when you went north I knew you were buggered and jumped on it. 

It was fun! Not many players go balls in and we both did, I was 1 storm away from losing as you were one ray as close to death when that fight ended.

Thank you for the fun :)

I think by that time I would've just risked running back and fleeing and hoping I got out another way before gating away instead of herbing immediately. You have access to other forms of healing that are far more reliable. That area is very iffy on finding herbs unless you're on an actual forested path. Good fight overall though, and smoke an herb at some point before you push yourself to that end. Though I'm sure Honey-Badger doesn't really give a damned so it made it more entertaining for everyone else overall.

Noone has  a problem with the fact he was outdamaging, and defending, without sanctuary? The storm giant was taking mangles through sanc, and the druid was taking them without sanc? How can item balance be so far out of whack that you can get armor that protects you so well it means you can fight mages without sanctuary?

As far as I'm aware, no, they can't.  If they could, it would make the staves redundant.  The glimmering staves are there for when their on-tap sanctuary equivalent fails outside their bailiwick.

He's supposed to outdamage and outdefend in a straight up fight - most classes can do so against a cleric.  A cleric is supposed to have to wear an enemy down over repeated engagements to win, but in this fight the druid was attempting to keep the fight short and sweet by giving the cleric an obvious opening to keep him engaged.  This isn't an unreasonable strategy by any stretch and has led to the death of many attrition class characters, but as the druid learned, it is a high-risk one, where a single unexpected variable can cause your doom (in this case bashing mobs).  On top of that, had the cleric not decided to push things and disengaged to heal a bit, the druid would have had to retreat from the fight completely to recover enough to battle again, giving the cleric the advantage in a cabal warfare situation.  A gutsy move by the druid, but not an unreasonable one, and it almost paid off.

 

Class balance doesn't have to mean that the two can stand and trade blows equally - paladins, clerics, healers, shamans, and bmgs are all designed around wearing your opponent down slowly over repeated engagements, the vast majority of which you will be significantly outdamaged during.  The only cases in which these classes shouldn't be outmatched round-to-round are when you are your opponent's bane - a paladin fighting an undead blademaster or ranger may be able to win straight up without fleeing to heal, and a massive eq or cabal power disparity can also allow these classes to steamroll certain opponents, but these cases are relatively rare.  Try fighting a neutral melee as a paladin sometime - you'll be outdamaged at least 3-1 on average, and you will only ever win by wearing them down over a protracted engagement in which you frustrate them enough that they get sloppy and overextend.

Edited

I doubt the guards were summoned to hit the Druid.

I assume to draw auto engage after the druid predictably used AOE.

So I have to believe the bashes were part of the strategy.

Kudos to the Cleric.

Were beast resistance to non magical damage maybe?

edit - Looking back, one low roll on all the rays. The rest ***ed.

Edited

Only were-wolves resist physical damage, the other beasts have different perks.

I think Hyndrix is a were-bear but I am only guessing based on the damage noun "fury"

I know for sure it's not falcon or wolf, so he is either tiger or bear but I'm guessing by how fast he was able to flee from those bashes that he was probably a bear (the +1 size reducing the lag)

I'm a badger

Werebeast are required to undergo a 'coming of age' ritual to

discover their inner beast. While the specifics of the ritual are

a closely-guarded secret, it is known that the werebeasts who survive

are possessed of one of several spirit animals:

 

      Tiger, Wolf, Bear, Falcon

 

Certain werebeast can also APPLY for special wereforms, as long as their

history and RP are appropriate. These are:

 

      Vulture Jaguar, Badger, Boar

Really? I havent played a werebeast in a LONG time so I dunno if you are full of crap or not :P

Also if you are being honest, those 4 special forms, they seem like restrings of the normal 4...

Being honest.   badger is really cool.  Gotta admit jaguar and vulture sound sick too

I can attest to Vulture being VERY buggy.

Never noticed a difference with vulture or jaguar, well maybe one on the jaguar. Never played a tiger at 50 long enough to see affects of werepower.
