Parrying
#1
Posted 09 January 2005 - 12:48 AM
Might I make the suggestion that Fighters have the ability to sometimes parry an enemy player's mêlée attacks, similar to how a Mage counterspells enemy spells? e.g. from the Fighter's point of view... "Player1 tried to attack you with his Halberd, but you successfully parried the attack." ... and the attacker's... "You tried to attack Player2 with your Halberd, but Player2 parried your attack." Note this should only work against regular attacks... not spells, Rapid Fire, Assassinate, or any of the other abilities that serve similar functions.
The chance of a successful parry could be dictated by the Fighter's level (your combat experience), the opponent's level (their combat experience), the base damage of the Fighter's weapon (a strong sword would parry better than a Quarterstaff), their Intelligence (foresight; knowledge of combat methods) or Dexterity (speed of bringing in your weapon to stop the attack)... or a mixture of a number of these quantities; the chance should still be fairly low, as they wear very heavy armour anyway.
If it is not possible to implement this into Nightmist, would this be a suitable suggestion for Nightmist II?

Druids as well when they're morphed or just using regular attack unmorphed can be parried.So it would only be affective against Pallys, Clerics, and other Fighters? We all know that a Thief that can Assassinate isn't going to regular attack a fighter...

For those of you who don't understand.
Mages rarely counterspell Rapid fires/berserks/assassinations/regular attacks.
Thus Parry... <as stated above> Would only "parry" regular attacks. <Same way Mages only can counterspell magical attacks? *Hint Hint*!!!>

Previous statement was for you.So it would only be affective against Pallys, Clerics, and other Fighters? We all know that a Thief that can Assassinate isn't going to regular attack a fighter...
And as for thief users not using regular attacks... do I have to get into that?

This is not about the discussion of Paladins, but since a Paladin is part Fighter, perhaps it should possess parrying skills, although not as strong as the Fighters'.All this would serve is the further weakening of pallys.
As for Berserk and Smite... I imagine them to be too... berserk... to be easily parried. If a Berserker berserked in real life, it would probably appear as a blur as it leaps towards you with its weapon swinging wildly, but aimed in your general direction... not something easily parried.

The bigest threat i have found to a fighter is a mage -
snoopy - 5stat full wiz big hp
mage takes me down to at least half health normally down to about 100 in the first round
my answer? 6 clicks of absorbed attacks and the od hit of 20 orso
its happend to me countless times.
Tho this dosnt help as u cant really parray a beam of light lol
maybe fighter sun glass's with Uv protection? lol
Perhaps instead of parray there is a higher % chance to 'Dodge the blow'
As fighters are masters of hand to hand combat it stands they should be able to get out of the way of big hitters.
