A Question About SotW (Not a Rant, An Honest Question)

WhateverUSMC · 04-18-2010, 12:49 PM

Again, I'm not a beginner, but this area is labeled 'Questions', so here goes...

A couple of days ago (sorry, don't remember which day), I was on my warlock, running towards Samal, and a hunter popped up, and went into SotW (sorry, I don't remember which hunter). I had just woken up, and wasn't paying attension at first, so I cast Ivy on the hunter.

It landed.

I ended up dead, in part due to my surprise over Ivy having worked. Given SotW's high resistance rate (I didn't look up the number, but I'm pretty sure it's a big number), is this a bug, or just a numbers fluke? Nothing else I have ever casted on a SotW'd hunter has ever worked, so I'm curious what's up with this.

Thanks in advance.

I once managed to land MS (and it worked ^^) thorugh sotw, bet the hunter was quite suprised

Its very good protection vs spells, but it still has a small fail chance.

I can be that, I once Dispelled the OLD uber god mode Sotw with MS.

I was like...

That might have been before my time. What's the difference between SotW now and SotW then?

The old sotw was like a god mode, you evaded everything, spells and autohits.

Mattdoesrock · 04-18-2010, 04:31 PM

Yeah, like doppel said it evaded EVERYTHING.

It's was +90% evade at level 5 (IIRC) [also back then spells could be evaded and resisted] and getting _anything_ through it was like "HELL YEAH!!" whereas now it's "lol, I got xyz through sotw."

Yikes. Was there a lot of complaints about it like there is now?

When my conjurer was in the low 40's, fatigue was done away with, just so you know. When I started, Invasions were already in place I think.

When I hear the older players talking about the differences than and now, it makes me wish I had started sooner.

Yeah older players do this alot i think it's like playing FF 7 then being given FF X-2 as the next one, that'd make anyone cry i think.
