In Ignis we're taught to move like snakes.

Given the games engine, is it possible to program skill effects to only be active when on the move, or when only stationary?

Your logic here is nonexistent.

The fact that archers die under SoTW protection all the time is entirely relevant.

Yes, because casting ambush 5 and standing there while your pet pummels a guy laying on the ground is genius. Real genius.

You don't say?

Exactly. Mathematically speaking, if 5 enemy are attacking you, one hit should get through SoTW for each fusillade the enemy fires.

I'm amazed when i shoot players sitting down or afk that they evade/block too.

So don't feel bad.

well, looking at my sentence again you have to take into account that an archer has about 15% natuaraly evade/resist layer, depending on dex and evade passive. When you add spell elude, which many archers have always on you get even higher chance not to get hit under sotw.

And depending on Sotw is?

Did i say it was? Or was i merely responding to a nonsensical statement with a counter-example?

Casting ambush5, and letting your pet smoke some defenseless guy is hardly an act of tactical genius.

Yes, and you spend 830 mana to get that protection.

SoTW 450
Spell elude 300
Dodge(lvl 1) 80 (i swear this spell doesn't even work, lol)

Lvl4 and it is not my problem that many ppl is walking alone, unbuffed :] and they have many ways to resist ambush. There are skills, passives for that you know?
Gah i am talking to Valorius.

It is random, and that means if I am lucky I evade 100 out of 100 meteors. If I have bad luck I will evade not a single of them.

the chance that the first hit gets trough sotw is 20%, as well as the 10th hit has a 20% chance to get trough as sotw. When you sum it up you come to the conclusion that there is a 20% chance for you to get hit trough sotw. That means 20% of all hits fired on you will come trough, the number of incomming hits just have to be big enough to be independent from luck.

Yeah what i mean its just that, even if theorically its the same, in practice terms that will never happen, we just need too many attacks to see taht 20% chance.

What i say is saying 1 of each 5 attacks will enter its not true (it will never happen in regnum) since you have such a high possibility of evading you will evade most of the attacks or even them all. If you are attacked 1000 times then maybe 200 will enter, but in a figth most of the times you will recieve 20 attacks and you will evade 19.

Same happens with SC, even if it has 70% chance of doing the +100% damage most of the times it will work. With such high chances it tends to work most of the times so saying 2 attacks of 10 will work when you are in sow its not true.

Thats what i was trying to say.

Sorry fluffy. "Ambush and pet bash" is as lame a tactic as the day is long.
