Art of Condor... WTF?

Background, I was fighting Waerin and I was low on health, so Shikuro pounces on me (He has ever reason to), but since i'm low, I try to run.... and no shit....

Ok, I am not one to post logs all the time, but HOW IS THIS BALANCED? Can someone enlighten me on something I'm missing out? He has a freaking global that FORCES you into combat, and it gives him a free murder on you. Holy?

On top of that, shadows have a 100% damage mitigation in place of mana.

To sum it, if you EVER lose a fight against a shadow, he's just gonna art of condor spam on you. No shit, free global, free round, no dependency (I checked help file), poison effect on attacks. Okay....... Time to start a shadow....

I'm not the kind to post logs of my fights, but I think this is too fucking OP that it needs a quick fix. (unless I'm missing something here.... for example art of condor may fail and you get teleported to the giant chieftain or something)

Comments

  1. Lol do you guys even test this shit out before releasing
    1. Btw, Shikuro steps in close to avoid the attack. << I think this is my illusions hitting him. Not 100% sure though.

      I need a break from this nonsense... I'm gonna cool off playing for a bit. So pissed right now. Not sure about you guys, but to me, it is so OP I dont even want to deal with it.
    2. nonsense is on the spot illusions. sorry that the most recent overpowered class just beat yours.
    3. does seem pretty op tho
    [reply to Anhri]
  2. I'm not saying that stuff isn't too strong, but I'm also not surprised the shadow spear skill ended up on the log forums. I just didn't think it was going to be from an illusionist getting jumped with low health. Heh.

    This amuses me because its the illusionist class that has been the most complained about (of all time) for just grabbing illusions, bulldozing and getting away easily.

    There's not really enough data to look at here to make any quick decisions on. Art of condor isn't even in this log.
    1. Okay, I assumed art of condor is this

      Shikuro arrives, preceded by a shadowy spear.
      You yell 'Help! Shikuro is attacking me!'

      A gate + free murder round + chance on poison with no dependency?

      Gate = Gate alone with no illusions, no free rounds, mental dependency. (and alone i'm useless.) Small lag for solo gate

      Group gate = HUGE LAG on it.

      Shadows - fighting class + free gate with no dependency, free murder round+ forces u into combat + chance on poison.

      Okay... If this is not OP I have no idea what is. On top of that, they can wait for a chance to jump you with hide and there is absolutely no escape. Ok, whatever. You guys decide, I've ranted enough.
    2. Unlike assassinate, I chose not to balance it by making it work 1 in 20 tries. it is actually (a) same area only, (b) HEAVY ki cost, (c) requires marks of shadow on target. Once you meet all those requirements and are also in critical health, shadow spear is extremely dangerous. Nonetheless, I'm surprised you didn't teleport, although I guess you didn't know better.

      I was planning making marks of shadow require shurikens thrown successfully and have a cleansing mechanic (ideally it would be getting sufficiently far away but we can't do that efficiently) although that was nothing really to do with this log. It was just some stuff I've been already thinking about. Things are still changing quickly at the moment so this isn't a good time to lose your head over things, just put your 2c in and make sure we see the data we need to make good decisions, which we are quite capable of doing when we see it.

  3. it is actually (a) same area only, (b) HEAVY ki cost, (c) requires marks of shadow on target.

    NO FREAKING WAY! I worded and he hit me at my temple of darkness. This was the second death, my first was when i worded from seringale and he speared me on my word lag from seringale to darkhaven. No way.....
    1. I am sorry I did not have the log because I was so pissed i just closed all the window and hit do not save. But yes, I GUARANTEE he speared me from Seringale to darkhaven. I swear on that.
    2. btw, why would I teleport when I can word if it is in the same area?

      Because he speared me at my temple that was why I was trying to outrun it, but in my mind I was thinking i'm fucked, and there was nothing I could have done. That is why i'm losing my head.....
    3. aha there's a bug there, it tries to find /measure a path if the area check fails, and if it fails it should error but instead it succeeds
    4. This makes more sense... my first death, he was hidden in his guild, I took the fight to his guardian, I was low, decided to word and died to spear strike. Second death above. Spear strike shitting on me so hard, i'll still need a break from this for abit. Died twice in 10mins. Going too crazy from this at the moment I need to chill out. Cheers!
    [reply to Sevaush]
  4. I noticed something was odd about shadow spear, it shows up in the affects like it has a cooldown timer on it. But yeah. Also, Art of Condor seems a bit wonky too. I tested it out. Target was on Eastern Road, it took me to Seringale. Not sure if that's suppose to happen.
    1. Also that 'venom' that causes poison, is a Forgotten Art. It hits roughly once a round like a thief's envenom, but it only last for so long and has a 12 minute delay. All forgotten arts incur that 12 minute delay.
