3 vorpal poison knockout vs Parry
Moderator: Admin
first scenario-
Warrior is wearing kandium armor, 12 points of armor but kandium doesn't work unless its 10 points or higher, rouge walks up somehow hits the warrior with a three knockout, it wont knock him out but it will f**k up his armor, if it were me I would spend the life point so my armor doesn't get damaged.
second scenario-
Warrior with no armor parries a knockout, he is knocked out anyway because according to this rule clarification as long as it matches the current armor points which would be zero, and parry reduces damage to zero, it would still knock someone out.
so i see no need to make parry not work on knockout.
P.S.-WHOEVER IT WAS THAT SAID VORPAL KNOCKOUT IS LIKE A ROUGE ASSASSINS ABILITY TO MAGICALLY KNOCK SOMEONE OUT, I THINK THAT IS A RIDICULOUS STATEMENT BECAUSE IF IT WAS A MAGICAL KNOCKOUT IT SHOULD BE CALLED MAGIC KNOCKOUT GIVING PEOPLE THE ABILITY TO RESIST MAGIC WHICH WOULD BE MAGIC SLEEP... but that's just my opinion.

the problem is with these 4 together
kandium armor
parry
assassin
360 parry
so this is before super parry and K. armor:
assassin hits warrior for a vorpal knockout to the back, he goes down, the assassin was clever enough to get the count off and hit him in the back, balanced.
super parry comes along:
same situation as above, assassin hits warrior in the back for a vorpal knockout, is deflected with parry, and subsiquently beat down, assassin becomes weaker
K. armor comes along too:
all assassins are buggered, assassin now sucks
rule change, parry now cannot stop a vorpal knockout...
(this is were the gallery chimes in about "well technically it does stop is as it reduces it to"...blah blah blah it stops it)
all warriors not lucky enough to have kandium armor are now buggered by assassins.
what we have done is balanced skills against items? then the skills need to be changed back, and the items GONE, not all improvements are good ones, lets cut the losses and call it good, oh do i wish for the days that if you wanted to stop an assassin, be a man at arms.

Knockout does no damage. The number is represents a test against your armor.first scenario-
Warrior is wearing kandium armor, 12 points of armor but kandium doesn't work unless its 10 points or higher, rouge walks up somehow hits the warrior with a three knockout, it wont knock him out but it will f**k up his armor, if it were me I would spend the life point so my armor doesn't get damaged
Samurai is a hidden discipline. It means you have to work in game order to get access to it. Not everyone gets to run around using 360 Parry. If you do the work you should get the reward.
If assassins suck then why do so many people play them? Their 4th level ability is super versatile. You can deal 9 Vorpal Poison or 9 Vorpal Knockout. Sages, Empaths, Healer, and Rouges are all going down if they get hit by one of those. The only paths that can even wear Kandium and retain all of their abilities are Warrior and Sage.
Everyone has access to everything. That makes it fair in my opinion. If you want Kandium, you can make it, steal it, loot it, or buy it. Same goes with all the other cool items. There are a lot of neat stuff out there and it's all up for grabs. You just got to go get it.

No they are saying most likely the wording is changing and it might not do what it used to do. It's happened to anyone that has any items, potions or spells. It's a part of the game, things go in that aren't necessarily balanced or flat out broken and they have to change.
All it takes is one person to get a hidden discipline and it's no longer hidden, it's just not in the book, palladin is a perfect example of that.
