A short (and I do mean short) spar between me and Kiradawea. Figured I'd post it here for amusement's sake. Although if you do have pointers, I'd appreciate them! freaked.gif

Kiradawea2009-03-17 01:12:21
I just want to say, I've never seen Judge from this time. It's probably the most awesome instakill out there. As for what you should've done here, you should've writhed or, if you're an acrobat, contorted. Afterwards you need to either get out of there or incapitate me somehow. Judge won't work if the target leaves the room.
Kiradawea2009-03-17 01:20:12
Although... you didn't get the "Tight bindings prevent you" message when web prevented you? That's funny. Is that how it works for monks?
Jack2009-03-17 01:22:20
Most awesome instakill is clearly sacrifice. They RIP YOUR HEART OUT. Then it's wrack/absolve. They RIP YOUR SOUL OUT. Hell, Soulless is cooler than Judge.
Furien2009-03-17 01:22:39
Yeah, move when someone's judging you.

Also, I notice you're using Nexus. Don't! That'll take you a long way.

Yeah, but Judge guilts you to death. How can you beat something using guilt to kill you?

Nah, phantomspheres.

All that work has to be worth something, right?

And Parabollus, have you ever come across judge before? You also never sent 'stand' that I could see - and you can writhe and focus body at the same time.

Hmm...never thought my MUD client would be the problem here. Here's the thing though - I mainly use Nexus for convenience's sake since it's the one that pops up when I click that big shiny "Play Lusternia" button on the main website. That and I don't really know how to use MUD clients other than Nexus...yeah, I'm a MUD client n00b. confused.gif

So, on that note, if you have another MUD client to recommend, then I'd like one that would meet these criteria:
  • Easy to use
  • Can flash in big bold letters or something whenever I'm knocked down so I know when to STAND (all that text flying by makes it hard to see in Nexus)
  • And is FREE. (This is the most important bit. I have no monies.)


I'm probably going to hazard a guess that there is no MUD client that meets all three of these criteria, but I don't know...maybe you can pleasantly surprise me! Lighten.gif

It's been like that for way too long and they keep sending back messages saying they don't understand what the problem is when I mention it.

EDIT: P.S crunch is the most awesome instakill
Shaddus2009-03-17 02:02:37
Mush is free. System from Ethelon is 25 credits. System from Zarquan is... I dunno, but supposed to be good as well. And they will make sure you stadnd.

Mush is free. System from Ethelon is 25 credits. System from Zarquan is... I dunno, but supposed to be good as well. And they will make sure you stadnd.


Treant is free and I really like it so far. It's not quite as fast as I'm used to, but it works wonerfully.

Yeah, but Judge guilts you to death. How can you beat something using guilt to kill you?

Hmm...never thought my MUD client would be the problem here. Here's the thing though - I mainly use Nexus for convenience's sake since it's the one that pops up when I click that big shiny "Play Lusternia" button on the main website. That and I don't really know how to use MUD clients other than Nexus...yeah, I'm a MUD client n00b. confused.gif

So, on that note, if you have another MUD client to recommend, then I'd like one that would meet these criteria:
  • Easy to use
  • Can flash in big bold letters or something whenever I'm knocked down so I know when to STAND (all that text flying by makes it hard to see in Nexus)
  • And is FREE. (This is the most important bit. I have no monies.)


I'm probably going to hazard a guess that there is no MUD client that meets all three of these criteria, but I don't know...maybe you can pleasantly surprise me! Lighten.gif


Zarquan's free system is for MUSH client, which is free and extremely quick. I use it for hamster hunts or just to read the morning paper when everyone else is logged in. : /
However, MUSH is not so user-friendly for non-coders unfamiliar with lua, or at least someone of my ability (or lack thereof).

ZMUD or CMUD have the nicest, most newbie-friendly setups and helpfiles I have seen but they cost $25-35. They are also rumored to lag in the large raids Lusternia is notorious for.


You can download a 30-day free trial of the latest ZMUD client here. For all it's shortcomings (having no updated, pre-made system on these forums to my knowledge) it is still generally very useful and usable. If you like it and want to run with it, I will give you my old license. peace.gif

Oh, I forgot to add! I thought it was very neat that you had a city-mate/instructor willing to step into the ring and teach you like that. People like that are few and far between. You know who you are.

Get MUSHClient, an old copy of zMUD, or buy a new copy of that or cMUD. It's actually cheaper than a PS3 or XBox game.

The LARGEST PORTION of combat is writing a system to defend yourself. You cannot and will not survive competitively on Nexus, in my opinion.

As for your actual performance, you need to work on scaling your usage of momentum. When you have four momentum just sitting there doing nothing with it, you should be really making an attempt to segue in to using something - put a Boost in to a combo that drops some momentum for a huge bit of offense. If I recall right, Tahtetso and Ninjakari have the very obnoxious afflictions from momentum and a lot of their stuff is incredibly cheap ka-wise. Use that to your advantage.

Work on hindering offense while dealing damage, too - a broken jaw and nose aren't going to do any good in stopping somebody like Kirad from attacking you. The best defense is a good offense in a lot of cases - preventing somebody from hitting you is a great way to start your way to victory, really.

You, sir, win this thread.

In the meantime, @Vhaas: thank you for the generous offer! I'll go get ZMUD soon and let you know what I think. (I would right now but I should probably go to bed soon. But like a fool I'll probably stay up late reading the forums. It's more effective than coffee at keeping me up.) beak.gif

On another note, it is probably not a good idea to be a dracnari monk. The dexterity of 10 is quite terrible, and I wouldn't enjoy the slower sipping balance either. But there are many other things you could do before that too, as mentioned before, get a client and system among others.
Kiradawea2009-03-17 09:46:17
Heh, listen to Rodngar. If you want to win you have to be relentless on the offense. Especially as a monk. Broken Nose and Jaw are good for racking up damage a little, but what you really want it to disrupt my curing and force me on the defensive. What I really had here that made the difference was reliable passive paralysis against your I'm guessing Novice discipline. Focusbody is quicker the more discipline you have, so until then it'll be quite easy for Celestines to kill your momentum.

Anyway, if you find ZMUD to not be to your taste, I'll gladly try and help you set up MUSH and Treant. It works quite well from what I've heard, but I think you're going to need to either program or find your own targetting system.
