Paralysis and weapon skills

[Jeryhn]

No shit?

Saw it posted but not answered.

Player ranged attacks can be paralyzed, and it's the most infuriating thing in the world next to "...interrupted aim"

Haha. Now the page reads that WS will not be effected by paralyze from a paralyze potion, as though the paralyze inflicted by the potion was somehow different than every other paralyze source in the game. It's so childish, her locking the topic basically equates to yelling with her fingers in her ears.

No joke. But since it appears a Paralyze Potion is the absolute strongest paralyze effect there is, why wouldn't WS be affected from it, if they actually could be?

I'll be camping this page until the bitch unlocks it.

Are the wiki mods just completely retarded or something? lol

No, just girls who play video games.

That's a pretty conclusive test showing that you can weaponskill while paralyzed.

the "Legamen readies Cyclone" message disappeared?

[aurik]

its there, 4 lines from the bottom. blends in with paralyze messages.

Is Nynaeve the same person who wrote that roflable whm guide on wiki someone linked in the past? If so, it makes alot of sense.

Edit- It seems also this chrisjander guy is probably in same linkshell/good friends/e-lovers(lol) as they are both same server and both link to each others wikis so she probably told him to defend her

I was hoping so(in regards to the guide), but that gem was written a user named Zero.

WHAT HAVE I STARTED?

It's hilarious how a simple request for verification from BG turned into a full edit war.

lol I love this :

So far I see a screenshot showing circumstantial evidence that paralyze does not effect WS. Counter to that is a personal experience being recounted about how the user saw paralyze effect a WS. Neither is particulary stong evidnece since if anything we are talking about something that happens, if ever, very rarely.

Yeah, a SS of a 100% Proc para potion, with a WS slipping through, is not strong evidence. Nope not at all.

Even the Alla poll is in favor of Paralyze not effecting ws. 105/151 are votes saying Paralyze does not effect ws with all the other votes split somewhat evenly across the other options.

[Plow]

nearly everytime theres an announcement for next version update, someone in ls says "OMG they are making it so XXX" replace XXX with what nikko says OR with "cannot change gear while engaged". Still catches a few people sometimes.

Cannot change Gear while engaged would actually make me happy. I could save so much inventory room getting rid of WS gear.

In addition to paralyze, I'm pretty sure you can't get intimidated out of WS either. Atleast I never have on gration.

No, it would just suck ass.

I agree, too much of the game was designed specifically around them being available. (Heca gear anyone? Or dusk hands/feet)

Also it would further distance the wars and monks as well as thf and possibly sam from everything else, as wars and monks still rely on some decent accuracy in ws allowing them to wear more fast tp gear and still have decent ws, and thf and sam are much less reliant on acc and could much more easily get away with using stronger ws gear while tp'ing.

edit: rofl I got here through the wiki link and had no idea this was on noob forum

Simply the mobs cheat when using WS. I can't tell you how many times I've had a mob, when I'm tanking on NIN, ready a WS, then do a normal melee attack to remove my last shadow (which I was counting on to absorb TP move) during the "readies WS", then have the TP attack land. When these people claim to have the WS get paralyzed only for the mob to use the same tp attack right after, they are simply seeing the normal melee attack get paralyzed and the WS still go off.

WS cannot be paralyzed by either the mob or the PC. I'm sure anyone who has blink tanked can attest to the mobs often getting an extra melee attack in while it readies whatever WS it's about to used.

You can do this as well. Wait and WS as you are about to attack. I have attacked during my WS's plenty of times. The mob isn't cheating, it's just using it's WS as it's about to enter the next attack round. Try it sometime. Works best with people who attack multiple times.(ie. MNKs, anyone Dula-Weild) You will see Readies WS, Atk, WS, Atk, which is what the mob is doing.

OT, that wiki person is beyond stupid.

Or that could be just lag.

With enough haste backup on NIN, I can push macro for WS at around 90% TP shown on my client and have it executed without "You do not have enough TP to use Weapon Skill" message, so I'd imagine it's just client-server lag.

Sure it's not Ryko's WS at 75% TP, but I'm getting there...
