Its ok, I dont use SS anyway. FLESH GOLEM FTW! d

Cygnus_Zero · Oct 27, 2006, 12:09 AM // 00:09

Interesting. I just farmed 5 Hydra with no scattering.

FyrFytr998 · Oct 27, 2006, 12:29 AM // 00:29

I found enemy group size dictates scattering too. I found if the group size is 4 or less they ususlly stay on you.

Ok I just fought 12 trolls. You really can't beat them with the 55 SS build. When they lose a certain amount of health, they retreat and heal. I just fought them for 10 solid minutes and couldn't kill one. They couldn't kill me either, so it was a stalemate. That blows.

SS is still a really nice spell. Sure it isn't as great as it was, nor is it really usable as a farming skill, but it's still usable. The thing that bugs me the most is that now MMs will become even more popular. With the hit to SS and AoE in general, you'll need more direct damage. The perfect answer to that is MMs. Especially with the new skills coming out for MMs in Nightfall.

EDIT - Oh and Sertu, I don't want to have another argue about SS vs famine, but it really depends on the players - with a semi-good ranger and monk that's possibly even faster.

EDIT 2 - That was*

R.I.P

I can't believe now the monsters are smarter than half of the players

monk" oh noes i took damage. im leaving"
random XXX monk has left the game

my staffs still contain the enchantment bonuses and etc, but all else, it is a shame

Time to use some tasty new Nightfall curses

RIP SS, You were cheap anyway...

Age · Oct 27, 2006, 03:36 AM // 03:36

Yes on my 2nd account I have a necro and used SS so RIP SS it was fun skill especially agianst the Mursaat.

ShaneOfMach · Oct 27, 2006, 05:46 AM // 05:46

shut up and stop saying R.I.P. SS

From what I've just read about it, still works outside FoW/UW

Rex the Unloving · Oct 27, 2006, 06:13 AM // 06:13

they dont scatter that badly....... echo SS and you should get most baddies down, i still solo using SS at a place

Cygnus_Zero · Oct 27, 2006, 01:39 PM // 13:39

Yeah it still works. Like I said, I solo'd some Hydra's no problem. But when there's a lot of enemies, it's a different story. Now this is just from soloing them, so maybe it works even better when there is a group, and especially when you're echoing it.

Beatrix of Alexandria · Oct 27, 2006, 07:09 PM // 19:09

SS seemed to be fine outside of warcamp and in sorrows

Cygnus_Zero · Oct 27, 2006, 07:41 PM // 19:41

If it hasn't been done already, I can confirm SS works just fine in Nightfall. The enemies don't really scatter. Even in the beginning where there was groups of 8, I was echo SSing and taking them down easily, along with henchies of course. Haven't tries soloing anywhere around here. I'm in Sunspear Santuary on the mainland right now.

NTsan · Oct 28, 2006, 10:05 AM // 10:05

Just don't let dev know it is working as not intended

Maxd5 · Oct 28, 2006, 11:14 PM // 23:14

I might have an idea, but I need to know if its possible to, dont laugh, make 55 heroes.
