Attacked a mage who were standing aside from his zerg yesterday.

Ops! He had a Brittle guard hidden in his robes :p

Brittle eats PA, Bladeturn eats CD!!!

Two confused Garrote with heat + malice, but the theurgist Lireihuan had 31% against heat.

Ops! SA(Sudden Add), The pally Tommytang grapples me...neither purge or Nelson Mandela can save me now...522 - 522 - 730 in 3-4 seconds :>

I start to feel like a old burgler that just noticed that almost every home is protected by complicated alarms these days.

Bodyguard, Grapple, Brittle guards...^^ It feels like Mythic tried to reduce the amount of assassins in Emain with ToA.

Have anyone found out a way to deal with Mr Brittle? or do I just have to accept that all toafied mages are five times harder or impossible to beat :)

Does the brittle guard get mezzed? and if he is mezzed can he still eat my swings? If the brittle guard lags behind, will he/she/it still be effective?

Poison-Spike? Throwing Knifes?...lol...I start to get desperate :p

In short; how do you deal with Brittle guards?

Why do you think you should be able to kill that caster who's protected by a paladin?

Hmm, correct me if I am wrong, but even if the brittle guard intercepts the CD followup to your PA, the stun effect will still affect the caster?

Usually goes like this for me:

2 shots, to brittle guards, 3rd shot to pet /bt, then I die :(

Starquake can verify that :)

Noticed that as well, or the PA--> CD was the slowest in the world and PBT kicked in :)

I said dot mine or the pbaoe tactic. Dot mine = poison spike.

I thought you couldn't attack for 10sec when you put poison spike.
