Muddy Terrain - Nature Ritual
Create a level 1-8 Spirit. For all creatures within its range, all creatures move 10% slower than normal, and speed boosts have no effect. This Spirit dies after 30-78 seconds.

Stormchaser wouldn't work at all. It would be a small slowdown, true, but a slowdown nonetheless.

And then bodyblock him

Unclean · Mar 10, 2006, 08:43 PM // 20:43

Very true! We've had to do that with that Yakslapper punk so we could take it down with AoE spells. Gus, if you did that and applied the other techniques mentioned earlier, you'd have my 5k.

@MS - ah, thanks for the clarification. Think it'd be enough to slow someone down?

Well, it would definitely slow someone down. Real question is would it be enough?

Wellllll... if a group of R/Mo encircled you in a wall of spirits and body-blocked the gaps while healing...

Fair enough, but you didn't explicitly say we had to be allies. It's possible to meet in gvg or an arena for this purpose, and ironically I have better tools to keep you alive as your enemy, simply by blocking your spells and e-denial.

I would, of course, need an assistant to be allied to you to keep HB on you.

like the frog or something else coming along that adds something new and not expected.

side note

how many of you would pay to see a traveling circus every now and then for a show like the other special events?

Fungus Amongus · Mar 10, 2006, 09:50 PM // 21:50

Does Divine Intervention have any effect? Or does it not trigger because you are not technically dying from damage?

Unclean · Mar 10, 2006, 09:51 PM // 21:51

And you've got the right idea, Loviatar. This is purely for entertainment value -- no harm done. What I personally have a problem with is griefers (like a malicious MM that builds up a huge army, stands by the healers/casters, and sacrifices to death only to let the minion army go hostile). But those types of people get reported and don't stay around for long.

@Fungus Amongus - Divine Intervention is an enchantment, and it's blown away with Contemplation of Purity. Even if you had it on, it would only benefit the character up to the max (1 health) and then it'd be spent, so the vampiric weapon would still drain at the same rate and kill the char.

LouAl · Mar 10, 2006, 10:35 PM // 22:35

I could still keep you alive

pm obi lou kenobi in game if you want me to prove it (granted, knowing it is a CoP makes it MUCH easier)

Hint: I could keep you alive for exactly 31 seconds

nvm I forgot you would be my ally...but in an arena I could!

oh yeah, I was thinking about blackout

The last question on the table is how I dealt with the +hp spirit. That's not an enchantment.

Simply sprint out of the spirit's range? Bring along dodge, storm chaster or escape and lather, rinse, and repeat.

Unclean · Mar 11, 2006, 06:47 PM // 18:47

Alexi - the "sprinting out" issue has been solved too. By casting the spirit and body blocking me with group members/spirits.

Aejorii · Mar 11, 2006, 07:25 PM // 19:25

I think everyone is forgetting something that can make his CoP useless for a few seconds..

Watchful Spirit!

Stripping is own enchants = insta heal!

Gunz Blazing Smile · Mar 12, 2006, 04:32 AM // 04:32

Just out of curiosity... how many people do you take in a group, do you move at all at the begging, and would you move to somewhere if I asked you to?

Because I get annoyed in certain areas of GW where maps are really annoying because I've gotten trapped between a wall and 1 monster, but why bother if you could have 7 R/Mo that have spirits all around you and just body block you like that. Either way, from that "angry monk" speech, I belive the monk didn't know the game he was playing as well as he thought.

-EDIT- Nice work BTW, thought out and everything, your just sneaky thats all.

Maxiemonster · Mar 12, 2006, 10:14 AM // 10:14

A well can keep you alive as well.

Unclean · Mar 13, 2006, 04:14 PM // 16:14

@ Aejorii - that instaheal doesn't take away the degen of the vampiric weapon. So the char has 1hp, gets a bunch more from the instaheal. The char is still at 1, so the vamp kills them a milisecond later. Watchful spirit only delays the death by a microscopically small amount of time.

@Gunz Blazing Smile - ya, that's the solution (bodyblocking). Haven't run across a group that's tried that yet. I usually get a group together (lots of ele/n/me for some reason). I tell them they can all try at the same time (group effort is required for the solution). Some people just sit there, others try enchants. It's a lot of fun to see what people will try. And I think that finding the solution so quickly here just goes to show the people on this forum are much, much smarter than the average Joe Guildwars char.

@ Maxiemonster - with bodyblocking too, yes.

Kariston The Swift · Mar 13, 2006, 08:11 PM // 20:11

Watchful Spirit. When you contemplate it, it'll heal you before the vamp weapon kills you.

Unclean · Mar 13, 2006, 08:52 PM // 20:52

Kariston the Swift - please see my reply above to Aejorii. To illustrate this further:

1. Char has 1/1 health
2. Someone casts Watchful Spirit on char, and that gives +50hp if the enchantment is stripped.
3. Char switches to -1 vampiric weapon. Only has +1 health regen.
4. Char casts Contemplation on self, kills the enchantment.
5. Char gets +50hp, but the max health is 1, so the char's health stays at 1.
6. Vampiric weapon still does -1 health degen.
7. Char drops dead.

Illusion of Weakness, with some Superiors?

Kawai · Mar 13, 2006, 08:58 PM // 20:58

haha nice post, id take u out to droknors trolls and farm them with u sitting there, wait for u to lvl to 20 then use my monk .. :P

Unclean · Mar 13, 2006, 09:21 PM // 21:21

Whoo hoo! I'd pay 2-5k to get power leveled 7 levels.

However: it only works when I'm with you and doing something (healing you, attacking monsters, etc).

Oh, and I don't know if I mentioned this before or not, but when someone has 1 health and casts infuse health or tries to sac health, it does nothing. Infuse health gives 0 health to the other ally, and keeps the char's health at 1/1. I wonder if Illusion of Weakness would do the same thing...
