What if PA was side positional?

more realistic ?
I know what u mean by that but the move of the attack is also perfect from the front, one huge slash at the neck then another in the lungs/heart.

I think if your going for realism, then one huge slash at the neck would probably cause the person to die pretty much instantly. Be quite messy too I imagine.

here you go bringing realism into daoc... for the love of god WHY?


You'd expect someone to die pretty hard when a hero pokes you with his spear, or a LW user whacks you over the head, or a zerker styling(have you SEEN where those axes "hit" ? )

bottom line is, daoc is a game, RL isnt, those 2 dont mix.

Flame on!


then the Crit Strike line would be kinda gimped. Increase PA dmg by 300dmg+ More chance too actually 'crit' and make PA side positional, then i can agree on it ;D

i would rarely use it if side positional. i can never quite tell when im at a side, front fine you can see the face, back fine, you can see the... back, side is a bit borderline though. anyway, it would negate two of my pulling tactics (dd pa, and pa cd run reevnvenom pa)

Just make 44 style Backstab3 and 50 style a follow-up with 11 sec stun ;) Don't whine about 11 sec, it's 2nd in stealth-opened positional chain (harder to execute than reactionaries) and at 50 CS (hardly anyone is 50 CS base). Just go look at hibbie blunts before whining :puke:

I kinda like that idea, but 11 secs is too much :)

/slap

It's harder to do than this followed by this - 10 second stun in weaponspec, doesn't exist anywhere else. Universal assassin love ;)

Just to remind everyone, hardly anyone's 50 CS *cough*.

If you indeed have a 11 sec stun move at level 50 CS I'm sure many people will spec it. Just like 50-thrust-infils :)

33 stealth
33 piercing
50 critical strike
33 envenom
33 CD

Would be a nice spec at RR8 :) (Suggested by Ebonn a while back)

If DAoC was real in a ficticious sense (ooooh) you wouldn't be able to touch "powerful" casters and they'd kill you by looking at you :p

kinda stupid spec for a rr8 guy? rr8+11 = +18skill......

32 stealth
50 critical strike
32 envenom
32 CD
rest in piercing

I think perforate artery should cover the assassin in blood, therefore making them visible in stealth for at least 20 seconds.

I mean think about it..

Perforate: Flowing non stop, the water perforated over the waterfall.

Artery: A blood vessel in the body which transports blood from the heart to the body.

:p

how about a nice faint red glow around the assasin for 20 seconds, bardsong-style. make it so theres some % chance that reduces with CS spec, say a chance of 100%-<cs spec>*1%

Btw cutting someones throat is never a quick kill, you'd have to cut through the windpipe to make sure you've severed the arterys.

Lungs you could do from the front but wouldnt cause quick death wouldnt be silent either and neither would stomach and trying to catch the heart would mean youd have to stab at an angle, Kidneys from behind would be best, normally tends to cause fatal shock.

So there you go :p

I think someone needs to read a dictionary. Perforate has nothing to do with flowing:

per·fo·rate ( P ) Pronunciation Key (pûrf-rt)
v. per·fo·rat·ed, per·fo·rat·ing, per·fo·rates
v. tr.
To pierce, punch, or bore a hole or holes in; penetrate.
To pierce or stamp with rows of holes, as those between postage stamps, to allow easy separation.

why thank you, I'm sure this correction in error will greatly influence the readers of this thread, thus making them not only educated, but informed as to what the true meaning of Perforate Artery really means.

:rolleyes:
