Aura falls, 5.5 round dirt kick

posted on 2012-10-23 06:00:11
Aura fell at nothing less than a bad time. The regularly lengthy dirt kicks from a rogue, tied to them rubbing the dirt out in one round makes them tough. Here is Valox dying to all the above happening within one short battle.

    Should have flurried.
  2. fharino Aura falls, 5.5 round dirt kick -
    this isn't the first time something like this has happened, you just got lucky enough your sidestep did enough damage. Valox has a habit of just waiting out dirt not to flee stumble. its nice to see someone go down with the same strat they depend on so heavily. Gj Ikroma sticking with your char and keeping the knight cabal alive.

    Forget the dirt kick. One round from uncanny attack/disarm to sidestep?
  4. xenyar Aura falls, 5.5 round dirt kick -
    Interesting point Ergorion. So let me get this straight... Uncanny disarms both weapons, lags the opponent, looks like it does some solid damage too, and only have to wait one round to switch to your even bigger nuke skill sidestep? Geeze.....
  5. Frostburns Aura falls, 5.5 round dirt kick -
    Xenyar> Two-handed uncanny does that. One-handed only rakes, and of course two-handed also has better enhanced damage (at least if the help file is correct, which it might not be.)

    Speaking of help files, many of those things are out of date, unclear, or are irrelevant/inaccessible to you. Come to think of it, the help files are like the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: they are definitive, it's just that reality has it wrong sometimes.
  6. noop Aura falls, 5.5 round dirt kick -
    2H exotic uncanny = double disarm + lag
  7. xenyar Aura falls, 5.5 round dirt kick -
    Frostburns - The point from mine and ergorions post is that ikroma was able to switch to dagger and sidestep after only one round of lag from uncanny. A skill that you can disarm both weapons, do stout damage, and lag them, all for the penalty of one round lag on yourself is pretty wild.
    Uncanny or no uncanny,
    pay attention to aura and you might not die.
  8. noop Aura falls, 5.5 round dirt kick -
    this is has been like this forever and a day. are you just now realizing quick wield + uncanny + sidestep/clobber?
  9. kornhole hasted? -
    Eidren was about at the time, possibly reduced lag due to being hasted?
  10. Chomryul Aura falls, 5.5 round dirt kick -
    rogue skills have always been horseshit for that reason. I get why they were put in that way, you can be a finesse warrior, switching weapons to take down your opp. This is one of those setups where it's overpowered if you leave it as is, and would be useless if you change it at all to make it less effective.
  11. xenyar Aura falls, 5.5 round dirt kick -
    Just give uncanny an guaranteed 2 round lag for the rogue, like rangers double disarm. Rangers dd doesnt lag their opponent or do damage either. Warriors overhead disarms both weapons, but has a little bit of a lag penalty before the skill even hits and lag afterwards as well.
