Dark Rider

[sleekmotorwurkz]

Well the new updates thread got me thinking. When AV first came out and everyone thought it was invincible didnt someone call for help and have near everyone that had sea there whacking away just to see if it could be killed?

Has anyone tried this with dark rider? I have never heard of him being killed legit or CFH zerg. But seems like everyone thinks he just cant be defeated at this point. Did I somehow miss an epic dark rider post of him being fought?

[Not Kuno]

Doesn't he just run away? I know people killed his minions.

I think that had more to do wih him despawning as normal since he innevitably goes unclaimed after casting Death on people and taking 0 damage.

[Hapernack]

Well, he spams the hell out of "Death" and also he doesn't take damage yet... probably not meant to be killed until later in the story or something.

I thought someone on this forum a long time ago used Voracious Trunk to steal his Invincible effect, and then proceeded to solo Dark Rider? Am I not remembering correctly, I could swear this happened.

As for having everyone in the zone whack him, he's invincible.

even if he managed to steal Invincible, he'd die 10 seconds later from Death.

Unless the invincible effect made you immune to death

So the plan would be to have a BLU open with Voracious Trunk, then everyone else in the alliance zerg. As people die, raise them and keep going. Have extras ready to swap in. Or, even better, SMN zerg so Death doesn't matter.

Assuming, of course, this even works. It's possible it was a hoax and all the screenshots were doctored. I wish I could remember who posted this originally, but it was over a year ago.

Let's assume this was real, for the moment.

Mob puts up buff that lasts 5 minutes.
1 minute passes.
BLU uses Voracious Trunk (or THF uses Aura Steal) and steals the buff.

How long will the buff last on the player:

5 minutes
4 minutes
30 seconds (or some nerfed static duration that applies to stolen buffs)

Would a perma-buff stolen from a mob, such as Dark Rider's Invincible or Vrtra's KO Effect, last forever, or only for some short duration regardless of what it was?

Do stolen buffs stay with you through zoning?

I recall there being no death animation in the dats for Dark Rider. Haven't checked in the past few updates.

There's a release animation for him. All avatars die using their release animation, with the exception of Bahamut, who has neither? (Yeah you can be a smartass and say Alexander and Phoenix, too.)

These were the images I was referring to.

I would be very surprised if those were real.

It was a joke post, they even said it at the end of the post >_>

[Jeryhn]

Just renamed a Heraldic Imp into a Dark Rider.

Kinda like how I camp Yagudo Mindfuckers in Oztroja.

uhh, no they didn't >.>

Aside from the possibility of being real, it could also have been done by changing mob names in the .dats, or even as simply as changing your chat log text files and scrolling up.

Pretty sure wild rabbits don't grant 530 exp though. If it isn't real, it's a shop.
