Evangelion Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 I never realized this before... but I was reading through some of the blademaster help files, and I noticed a discrepancy between powerstrike and doomsinger. POWERSTRIKE Syntax: automatic Blademasters because of their total dedication to the art of the blade are able to strike only with the weapon's center of percussion. This allows them to put the maximum amount of force into the blow without the resultant shock and vibration. When a successful powerstrike is performed, the weapon will always roll for its maximum damage. NOTE: A successful powerstrike requires a second weapon to feign and setup the hit. This skill will only be used when you hold two weapons. DOOMSINGER Syntax: cast 'doomsinger' A ritualistic stance meant to be used with two handed weapon. While under its effects the blademaster further extends the principles of powerstrike, moving and attacking in harmony with the weapon's natural frequency. In moments the blade begins to vibrate emitting a unique high pitched tone as it sings with its own strength. I fail to see how powerstrike, which requires two weapons, can have its "principles extended" by a stance that requires one weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
random_clown Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 You can extend a principle beyond the original parameters. I believe that it uses the concept of powerstrike in a different way, not necessarily functioning the same, but inspired by it. Both utilize certain attributes of a weapon, but to different ends. It is taking the two weapon style and applying it it, albeit slightly differently, to a single weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evangelion Posted September 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 After doing some searching of old topics, I found a topic regarding a similar question. However, the question was never answered, and actually ended with people still in question. So perhaps this time, someone can clarify? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiere Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 This is kinda off topic, but oh well. I'm giving my current blademaster all I've got, but after this one's dead and gone, I doubt if I'll do another for a long, long time. The amount of training they take is ridiculous, though well worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deykari Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 I believe one of the Immortals did post that it's not like an error in the help-files or anything, just one of the "Secret Blademaster Workings That Are To Be Found Out Yourself".
