As Dalan said... All is fair as per rules during relic raids and defense thereof..Terl wrote:So...you are saying that an assassins ability cannot be used to its full effect then?
Why is there a timer scaling with level?
What about during relic raids?
It is an effective tactic against the rabbit defense (where it seems like defenders are respawning like rabbits). It was made clear some time ago that if you used the Assassins Death Attack you had to make sure the possibility of a creature kill was not going to happen ie; clear the map. We were also told that the Death Attack fell within the parameters of the 3 kill/griefing rule.
So now this is no longer the case?
Let me restate in other words what I was trying to say.......
What has happened in the past with these abilities (out side of relic raids) is a PC will be working away at xp and another comes by and freezes them. Some effects wear off others don't and the PC effected misses the re-spawn. That's where one should check and kill off the PC instead of letting them just look like a statue for a couple of days. If the effect is on a timer.. no problem.. but make sure the zone is cleared of all mobs for obvious reasons.
Next what has happened (in the past) is that the the attacking PC moved onto another zone leaving the victim to ponder the mystery's of life. Then on a return trip they come across their artwork of a frozen PC and hang around a bit until the effect wears off then hits the victim again sending them into a state of even deeper meditation. At this point is where use of the ability can start to look like abuse. Some of these effects take a fair amount of time to wear off. Although most of these abilities don't fall under the 3 PK rule because the victim is not PK'd it can be viewed as harassment because the victim is not being allowed to carry on with their playing of the server.
So again as said before Common Sense with the use of these abilities is the order of the day. To those who get effected by these abilities, don't start crying Harassment after one or two shots. These abilities are in game for a good reason.
Sorry if I caused any confusion...
Happy Hunting
