The 35% onslaught is BS

[Valorius]

The rant is that the closing speed is gone, making even the slowest class in the game impossible to catch when onslaughted.

Everyone seems to think Fluffy Muffin is a good hunter. With her setup she has a max speed of 140%. She has -virtually no chance at all- to overtake an onslaughted mage(unless he lags like crazy).

As an aside, for all of you that wish fewer hunters would use SOTW, well, this is just one more reason why many of us wont let it go. SOTW is a hunters only chance to catch a fleeing onslaughted mage. It's not a good chance, by any means, but it is our only chance.

Onslaught is just too fast, for too long.

Personally I'd like 30% for 30secs with a little extra power.

Dang, I agreed with Val.
It's the end of the world.

don't give over yourself gos :O

the spell is fine as it is, he can still catch a mage it's just hard, he whines about it being too hard and wants it to be easier? Please...

35% is a good boost, can be used both for charging and escaping.

Now we got some situations

group vs group, equal size

ok there's two groups, one group follow the other group, both onslaughted, they may keep on forever till one makes a mistake, there's no imbalance here, just a question, why does the group continue to run instead of fighting?

group vs one hunter

group might get away from the hunter, the hunter should be defeat in all purposes, both in running away or get killed, doesn't matter which, there's no imbalance here

group without a barb vs group with a barb.

the group with a barb can chose to run or turn around and fight. Why don't they fight? that's the question.
if the gorup without a barb is pissed about not being able to catch the group they should blame themselves for not bringing a barb.
It's like a group with a conjurer and a group without a conjurer, group without a conjurer gets pissed about the group with a conjurer being able to revive when they in fact should blame themselves for not bringing a conjurer.

I was once in a group with a barb followed by about 6 or 7 alsius, I ran far enough to make it behind a tree, buff myself and kill their only conjurer as I couldn't have been able to keep going forever.

Can someone close this thread?

i think by page 10 most of us get it now (got there eventually ) but i just think that this should be in suggestions also whatever NGD do someones allways going to be against it but in this case i dont think that anyone should outrun hunters allthough it pains me to say such a thing as there are so painfully annoying to kill

maybe hunters can get a new power that can only be used when the opponant is fleeing (not sure how to prevent abuse of this though) that can give them a burst of sprint speed to close in to there "prey"

NOOOOOO God damn it! We have enough. With SotW we have more than enough so close it and move one.

dont blame me for trying but this is pretty much what the threads about i know it would piss off everyone but its that change onls back or just leave it and live with it i was going with "leave it and live with it" but im bored so im spewing out anything i think up

This reminds me of "Enough is Enough". But more constructive (The flames are still here though).
