Laming Aura

[Nappa]

Is it just me, or does this spell need to be SERIOUSLY toned down ? It needs to either be like 1 tile around the caster or do something else. It's waaaay too powerful.

On example of its lameness, Knumb sits in bomb trade, waits for me to enter, then casts it and chases me around, knowing i cannot get close.

This is REALLY annoying. Something needs to be done.

Goodday.

Let me post, once again, how to beat a flaming aura user.
Go to the top, or bottom, of the level. Face down if you're at the top, face up if you're at the bottom. Cast icestorm, run to the opposite side of the room, change direction, cast icestorm again

Repeat...person using flaming aura either chases you through your icestorm or stands there getting hit. Either way....they're dead. :o

I have no spells, sir.

No, it doesn't need to be toned down. It's meant to be just a little stronger than your average spell and personally I prefer ice storm I'm practically immune to laming aura, I don't know how many others have high fire resist but even without it it's quite easy for you to also cast a spell, run away or kill the person. I mean..they have to get close to hit you, cast a few large snow storms at them and if that doesn't kill them then you can still attack them making the odds more than even.

Its been toned down once and it took a major hit, no more, get fire resist!

Actually, it's already been toned down twice. (possibly even three, I don't remember)

[Nappa]

I still think it's way too powerful.

I use an RoW and such so my magic resist is down, along with having 0 fire resist.

Now adays the AC is so high I can't even hit people as well. -26 is just too low. I have no spells.

All these people have to do is cast this spell and chase me, and I die. And i've seen it happen to many people, and everyday.

Epitome Case: This is the reason that there are battle and peaceful modes.

The - magic resist on RoW and RoS helps to balance out the items. Balor gets few bonuses, and Flaming Aura helps counter that.

[Satrek2000]

Then get yourself some spells
Also, shouldn't the RoW allow you to run fast enough to escape?

No magic / Pking in any of the tables.

Won't work. They cast spell, grab their laming ice dagger of ogma+10 dam+75, and when you want to cast icestorm, they hit you, spell fails, and you're down to 1/4th of your HP because of the damned dagger.

Yes, any professional Aura user knows that you need to prep a bow or dagger with EWs so you can stop people from casting spells.

Only succesful terrain spell would be magic bullet or bullet storm, but because aura lamers have 20-60 magic resist it barely hurts

Let's take a passage from the preachings of Satrek to counter this pathetic exucse:
"Really now, if pking is your way of living then play classic."
This applies mainly to those using laming aura, but it also can be directed at some of you complaining about it, and also complaining about the High AC that's cropping up. The only reason you guys are complaining is because you can no longer "pwn" people whenever you feel like it, and instead are getting "pwned" by even lamer people =x

Yes. Well...no. My primary suggestion would be to make all the levels inside towns and their buildings no-PK zones (otherwise the PKers would just lurk outside doors, waiting for you to come out/try to get in). Another suggestion would be to make the only pvp mode kingdom mode and only those actively within kingdoms can use them o_O Then people can only kill other people if it's in the name of their kingdom, and RP, putting an end to the should-be-playing-classic people. And then of course, if there are some persistant non-RPers who simply can't survive without spending every 5 minutes killing each other, they can just damned well go and live in the duelling arena.

I agree. Trade rooms should be no pk.

And I have 3.8 speed. But, I don't want to have to always leave the trade room every time i go in there.
