ST is what it is because Nep loves the hidden and overpowered little perks.

I think he's an explorer type player, in a Bartlean sense. I found ST a good place to practice lore, as Muug.

Axe or mace for assassin killing. Which is better? Why? (n/t)

The_Joker July 15, 2014 04:07AM

Axe, if you land 2 pincers and are not wearing outfit gear the assassin is dead

Quas July 16, 2014 05:23AM

At 35 maybe. At hero unless you're duergar you're facing trance and/or preps most of the time. (n/t)

Murphy July 16, 2014 07:21AM

If you aren't doing cap damage, run around and just poke them for 3 ticks, then pincer, get all.coins corpse

Quas July 17, 2014 09:38AM

What is duration/cooldown on martial trance?

Ayathkiran July 17, 2014 03:50PM

IIRC 6/24. (n/t)

wrathpuppet July 17, 2014 04:12PM

It's now more like 6/20 I think. (n/t)

Murphy July 17, 2014 06:39PM

can assasins edge for axe defense? (n/t)

Zheeser July 15, 2014 05:48AM

Sensei Buki. Only works while in martial trance. Not sure if anything else. (n/t)

Matrik July 15, 2014 05:52AM

mace rocks. assassins dodge the mess out of axe. nt

The Forsaken July 15, 2014 05:22AM

Mace. Hard to dodge, has permalag potential. Axe is better at midranks tho. (n/t)

Murphy July 15, 2014 04:47AM

So... that's not what Zulg said awhile back. Polearm and Axe are hardest to dodge. Link inside. Did this get clarified somewhere else?

TJHuron July 15, 2014 06:08AM

As long as you don't fight Jycenna (who I swear is the most insane assassin I've seen in a while) this is true. NT

Sam July 15, 2014 05:15AM

Is that the silent tower assassin?

Wendigotorn July 15, 2014 05:30AM

Yeah...lol. I kinda suspected it may be him when I was like "I'm a decked level 38 duergar sword spec with mastered skills and I just got two-rounded through protection/stoneskin/anthem". NT

Sam July 15, 2014 05:40AM

I don't understand why you'd have a place like that where not everyone knows about except a select few. It just breeds more hate for the Imms with favorites. (n/t)

funnyone July 15, 2014 08:02AM

You could go... explore it?

Matrik July 15, 2014 08:12AM

Actually, not that simple. Have to have a minimum of IMM xp just to get the quest to find the place. NT

Sam July 15, 2014 08:34AM

Ah. Didn't realize that, but still, not that hard to get imm xp.

Matrik July 15, 2014 08:42AM

Exore it once you get 2k Imm Exp and then when u get in you just die exploring it. Why have a place like that? Same people get all the same gear (n/t)

funnyone July 15, 2014 08:16AM

I don't know, maybe you have it there so people who like exploring can have a challenge? (n/t)

Matrik July 15, 2014 08:18AM

So you like cheating then? NT

Sam July 15, 2014 08:35AM

ST is what it is because Nep loves the hidden and overpowered little perks.

DurNominator(VIP) July 15, 2014 09:15AM

Actually, Nepenthe is an interesting case study re: Playstyle. I used to think of him (and mostly still do) as more of a brute force guy. Though he is capable of some extremely finesse characters. But yeah. Cabdru and Nabighah were brute force while..

Sam July 15, 2014 09:34AM

Dex warrior is far more brute force than str warrior. (n/t)

Elystan July 15, 2014 10:37AM

I didn't cheat to get in, but yeah my heros (rangers) aren't exactly fit to explore the place well. (n/t)

Matrik July 15, 2014 08:43AM

Silent and Hell have been the biggest reservoirs of cheating in CF history. But yeah, they are cool. So we'll overlook these things. NT

Sam July 15, 2014 08:44AM

Eh, not going to blame the areas for people cheating. It's the cheating that ruins the area, not the other way around.

Matrik July 15, 2014 08:46AM

Not only that, Silent is literally the antithesis of what makes CF great. An area where people can't talk to you or even know you're there (so you never interact with people) and an area that has gear that is so absurdly good (and preps) that people hoar

Sam July 15, 2014 08:51AM

Except the amount of cheating that has gone on because of Silent and Hell dwarfs any wand sharing lists or AIM circles. But hey, if you like putting your fingers in your ears and going la-la-la-la that's cool. NT

Sam July 15, 2014 08:49AM

I mean.. just so your clear, since it seems to be hard for you...

Matrik July 15, 2014 08:52AM

You have a very imperfect understanding of gaming psychology. NT

Sam July 15, 2014 08:53AM

I'm well aware subsets of people love to cheat. Doesn't make it not pathetic/lazy. (n/t)

Matrik July 15, 2014 08:59AM

Some reading for you.

Sam July 15, 2014 09:32AM

Sounds boring. Did not read. (n/t)

Matrik July 15, 2014 09:37AM

Nice Pro move. Should I just start calling you Eric?

Sam July 15, 2014 09:42AM

The majority of that seems irrelevant and directed at single-player games.

Matrik July 15, 2014 09:52AM

Uh, I don't blame the wand system for the cheating either. You make zero sense right now.

Matrik July 15, 2014 08:51AM

So because you disagree with me I make zero sense? Not like there haven't been people denied for coordinating Hell trips. Not like a Silent walkthrough has been passed around but only with 10-12 people. Okay. Nice job there Matrik. NT

Sam July 15, 2014 08:53AM

No. You make zero sense, because you aren't making any sense.

Matrik July 15, 2014 08:58AM

I have the silent walkthrough, it's def more than 12 ppl (n/t)

zoskia July 15, 2014 08:54AM

Is it the same one DW posted in the Diku-Wiki?

DurNominator(VIP) July 15, 2014 09:19AM

Nep changed a lot of stuff that my bro posted walkthroughs of (changing the fountains, changing the way the vault room works, etc). Nepenthe always does that once people start figuring out Silent though.

Sam July 15, 2014 09:25AM

Seems to me

daurwyn(VIP) July 16, 2014 03:15AM

I think I lost a piece of con and the only thing I learned was to stop going there. Obviously I learned slowly because I kept going back there. (n/t)

Elystan July 15, 2014 08:13AM

Heh. It's so tempting isn't it? Definitely not a place for the feint of heart. (n/t)

Matrik July 15, 2014 08:18AM

Silent is the worst area in the game. I wish Nep had kept it closed after my bro posted his walkthroughs. NT

Sam July 15, 2014 08:35AM

SIlent is cool, they should reopen Hell too

zoskia July 15, 2014 08:52AM

Yeah, no. I think we need more areas like the Battlefields and Eastern road, but then again, I'm obviously a minority in that opinion. NT

Sam July 15, 2014 08:54AM

I've always understood axe because it's hardest to parry out of the weapons assassins don't know (n/t)
