Wot proc/spell is this?

[Wabbit]

Was happily Moccing some 12yo Hib kid called Niar (RR7 Eld) when I suddenly got a message "your combat skills have been hampered by blindness" and all of a sudden I kept getting "That target is to far away!" on my dd's that perfectly landed before on him. No need to say he cast 2 700points dd on me and got me killed. The guy was loaded with arti's. Can anyone explain me woth got me that time? ML thing? Arti-proc? Uberness?

(the 12yo is based on the fact that the drooling kid spammed /laugh at me after he killed me

its called nearsite and does exactly what its says on the tin

lol

ok now anyone for a normal answer...look I might not be as l33t as you but I actually recognise some of the bad things that show up on the top of my screen....for example: Ress sick, debuff for 1000 points, stun, mezzed and....nearsight...others might be a bit to hard for me so please,

 

[Tilda]

its a spell
a baddie casts it on you
the spell reduces your range by a certain %, red boarder = normally 75%, etc etc, down to 25% reduction at grey.
you get an icon that looks like an eye at the top of your screen
You find that lots of your spells are out of range.
At this point you can do 3 things: 1) hope you have a good healer and ask for cure nearsight or 2) purge or 3) Run for 1 min until NS goes away

[Raven]

nearsite is the only thing that makes a target suddenly out of range, unless he ran away from you. i answered your question

 

[Draylor]

Near: close, not far
Sight: vision

Hmmmm, what could that possibly mean?
Cant see as far, possibly you have reduced range?

(Sorry forgive the excessive sarcasm, still half asleep )

 

[Wabbit]

Ok....answer the next questions then:

1. I walked to him and was standing 1 cm away from him, still the same message...f6 did work...since when does this game have a 99.99% nearsight?

2. why wasnt there an purp (or any color) nearsight thing on my effects list?

1) There isn't, how did you walk to him in the time it took for him to cast 2 spells?

2) Tricky, perhaps you didnt spot it? Or perhaps you only looked after you died, the effect may go after you die.

Tilda

 

[Draylor]

F6 is nothing to do with nearsight. But if your genuinely right on top of them you should have been able to cast. Sounds strange

Effects list isnt perfect, has limit of showing 21 while you can have 28+ etc. But you should have had the nearsight (eye) icon by the sounds of things

 

[Tilda]

What Draylor said, although the effects list can only display a certain number, its split into two parts:
21 things it shows
28 positive effects on you
Unlimited space for negative effects iirc
Although it usually trys to show all negative effects it could have been a wierd bug where NS didnt show up.

Tilda

 

[Draylor]

Ive been nearsighted with only 2 rows of visible buffs and had no icon before: so it does happen

 

[Wabbit]

Oki...thanks that must been it then....was buffed and had mezz and stun reduction (CB) on...might have been debuffed so I guess the freakin NS didnt show up correctly

 

[Tilda]

Been thinking about it a little more and had an idea:
I could be way out on this so dont take it for granted,
when toa first came out in EU i remember reading something about 100% near sight.
I cant remember where i read it or saw it, but it could be possible that he had a ML10 or so item that has 100% nearsight charges.

Tilda

 

[Draylor]

Na there were ML10 drops initially in US (for a week) that had stupidly overpowered procs like that: but I believe they never existed on Euro servers

 

[Doink-666]

Pfft thier all wrong Wab, it is actually a DoT that deceases all stats by 50%, stunns you, and makes you want to go AFK for 1 min to find imaginary Ice Cream.

 

[Rhirap]

or could it possibly have been the Harpy Cloak disarm thing? does that affect spells or just melee?

offencive melee proc which mean Niar would have to hit him with his stick.....

 

[Rhirap]

a cloak cant proc since u cant hit a cloak, it would have to be /use'd, but anyway, dunno if a harpy cloak would be useable for a caster and if so, i cant see a caster levelling one up just for disarm, but stranger things have happened, and we are talking about hib (make of that what u will )

 

[Rhirap]

ok so im a n00b whats ure point i just realised what u meant about the proc, the charge creates an offensive proc so yeah he would have had to hit him sorry my bad

 

[Aybabtu]

No problem mate

 

[Israel-Keeper]

another retarded player from alb/excal how rare ...

ok first its a normal spell in light line that causes u to loose -65% of your range so just purge or run for 1 min and come back when u have immunity timer like tilda said.
second i'm 22 years old.
and third i only laughed (once not spam) at u since u added on me ( solo unbuffed eld) u mezz me and use MOC while i'm mezzed then purge debuffs and run to me ? wtf is that so much skill needed to moc lifetap indeed add to that u resisted 3 of my spells and i still win. just learn to play your char.

remove MOC from game plz less retarded sorcs/cabas that moc on u from 2k range.

ah and btw i'm not fully TOA'd and only ml3

 

[Sigh]

nasty niar ;<

 

[Yussef]

Astral Cloak of Heroes will have a 10s 100% nearsight again next patch. It was the original charge, which was then replaced with an endurance charge. Then mistakenly set as a summon elemental when the "old" "new" spells were replaced, which is fixed next patch.

Hard to run from a RR7 Eld that hits for 600+ every 0.5 sec

and third i only laughed (once not spam) at u since u added on me ( solo unbuffed eld) u mezz me and use MOC while i'm mezzed then purge debuffs and run to me ? wtf is that so much skill needed to moc lifetap indeed add to that u resisted 3 of my spells and i still win. just learn to play your char.

Ahh the nice part: How can I smeel that your are unbuffed? I pressed MOC indeed cos your casttime (any hib casttime is about 10 times faster than my lifetap). I dont have purge so I couldnt have purged your debuff/NS. As I posted before there was so Nearsight icon on my screen so you can imagine I was a bit confused what to do...I ran close to you and still couldnt cast so I used melee to at least make sure you couldnt one shot me. according to my SS I resisted 1 one of your spells and I dont see how I can "learn" to play my char if something buggy (icon that dont show up) fucks up a 1vs1 fight (I "added" on you? what am I supposed to do..1 hib at amg, 1 alb at amg...you rr7, me rr5...just wait till you 2-shot me??)

remove MOC from game plz less retarded sorcs/cabas that moc on u from 2k range.

Your wish is Mythics command in NF, moc will be nerfed.... Nice if I can moc you with a dd from 2k range....1500 range (+5% toa bonus in my case) is 1575 not 2000....

ah and btw i'm not fully TOA'd and only ml3

Ahh cool some here then...only a TOA staff at lvl 10, and a ring, cloak and bracer at lvl 3. Although I must admit im ml5 so I could have thrown a magical siege stone at your head....rr7 >> rr5 too I guess

Anyway thanks for the people (Like Tilda and Draylor) that explained to me about the missing NS-icon...and Niar I hope to meet you again soon

base line lifetap is 2.5 ct my spec light dd is 2.8.
my spec dd is 209 value wizard/RM spec dd got 219 value.
just some facts for u to think about
and the thing i said about the moc from 2k range wasnt ment for u just my personal experiece with a rr7 cabalist that moc on me from about 2k range while i wasnt even in range for nukes.
have fun

theurg moccing would work at range 2000 (which would stop the nearsight interrupting but then he'd still have cack range )- though it's probably the stun that's more of a problem than your cast speed... that and the 20% relic damage, which moc won't do much to help other than stopping you getting the upperhand by quickcasting a nuke to interrupt.

That or he's used to being insta dps debuffed by chanters.
