Nerf "Pale Lavender Ioun Stone"!!!

[AkromaAoW]

With a bunch of trash talking and epeen waving, and no loot or xp, PVP = waste of time for me.

E.

[articwarrior]

although it may sound bad, I agree that they should nerf the pale lavender ioun stone, after all when will you REALLY need all of those spell absorbtion charges? and making it 7 SA charges per rest makes it even crazier, and no this is not a rant about people using it in pvp

[J1NG]

When do we want so many charges? In PvE.

Or do people complaining about it go in as level 1? And didn't PvE at all?

Because I can assure you that if you are, it's not the Ioun Stone, it's you. You can't get any levels in PvP. And in PvE, that stone isn't even enough when you need it, ie TR and every % counts, including staying alive.

So, not signed from me for nerfing of it.

PS
When you decide to fight a Warforged Monk with GCB handwraps, Touch of Death, Evasion, insane saves, insane AC, Unholy Burst Shintao Ring, 14-minute Nightshield clicky, and Pendant of Time please do not post here about how monks are overpowered. You will receive many lulz and nobody will take your post seriously.

There is no melee that can take me. But this dude is able to range me and 1/5th of his shots proc 500 damage on me. He does too much damage to sit there and block it out. Also if I did that, his STR damage would eventually make me unable to cast, from the times he hit me through my heals. Slayer Arrows has a chance to proc during this time as well.

[h4x0r1f1c]

LOL that is your best gripe. A caster who is virtually god in PVP which is horribly implimented with 0 thought towards balance anyways, is *****ing because some power gamer walked in and spanked you because he had a very impressive collection of items.

Sure complain about that not that rogues are utterly gimped in pvp since they cant stealth worth a ****, and everyone after lvl 9 has 100% fort necklaces to negate thiere entire classes main combat special ability.

If this game had really counter spelling casters would have some real fun with each other, but its always been SOP in D&D to aquire items to protect you from magic as magic is incredibly potent with insta kill effects and dmg you cant even get a saving throw against.

FYI Arcane archers with slaying arrows kind of exist as the single best counter to casters in pvp we have atm. Every rock needs its paper.

A rogue with a STR damaging Heavy Repeating Crossbow will do okay against a caster.

So no melee can ever kill you, but your problem with PvP is the pale lavander ioun stone?

[rodallec]

HA my melee ALWAYS PWNS you and im there for laughs. ESOS FTW SUKKA!
another little boy trying to be tough over a keybpard and whinging when he loses
all you do is PWS and dance and you still complain when you lose to a melee. best we got is trip and OH theres a save for that.
grats to rathlin for griefing the "griefer"
you get as many neg reps as i can give you.
PVE MOAR!!!! pvp is a bonus get over it.

If you're dying to an AA, learn how to use LoS. It's not hard.

[Lorien_the_First_One]

But I saw you there a bit before I got off and made this post..

I'm the one who stunned/danced you for no reason and then ran around.

How come you can PvP but tell me not to?

You know you just admitted to something that is a bannable offense right? Stunning/dancing is allowed, doing it and not killing someone is considered griefing.

To your OP, nothing in this game should be balanced with PvP in mind because this is not a game designed for PvP, all items should be balanced for PvE.

[h4x0r1f1c]

Yep. Melee are able to hit me. If they can stun/trip me they'll have a chance but if I'm ready and even sometimes when I'm not I will win it's just logic. I have lots of HP, I can heal, and throw spells.

But for someone who can range me back (like a ranger) and deal enough damage to kill me with my inability to do anything back is unfair. I threw numerous Magic Missiles and Chain Missiles at the guy and kept trying to use other stuff on him and it wouldn't work it got real ridonkulous.

Logically that should be a fair fight. Spells vs Arrows. I get no item to take up the full force of his arrows. He does too much damage to even bother with DR. Even on a Slayer Arrow. He has spell DR aka Spell Resistance and Protection from Elements though and sure I could pay for Stoneskin materials but it's really not going to help much since he's only killing me by making my STR 0 or proc'ing 500 points of damage. No possible amount of DR will stop him from doing that.

But you don't see him crying and whining in the forums every time he gets pwned by a pale lavender ioun stone wearing AA.

It almost makes me want to roll an AA... too bad I'm not on sarlona. .....oh yeah, and I also cancelled my sub.

True that you can get banned for stunning/dancing someone over and over and keeping them in there and not killing them or letting anyone else kill them, ect.

I stunned him and ran up and danced him, then I ran around. I don't even use Extend so he got out in 30 seconds and he was free to leave. I wasn't holding anyone prisoner. Plus someone could have killed him. I often hop around and when my friends aren't busy, land a Dance on them.

And since nothing should be balanced then I think they should let everyone go all-out with what they got. Rangers get to use everything they got (like Manyshot) so let us use Wall of Fire and Blade Barrier, ect. Allow Mordenkainen's Disjunction that's a freaking lvl 9 spell I can't use in there. No good in PvE.

So logically I should go star a thread asking them to nerf you. Since my melee has no chance against you. Quite simply there is no balance in PvP in this game. You came here to scream nerf because you ran into someone you can't beat, but yet you are completely content when the lack of balance works in your favor.

PvP would need an entire rebalance before worrying about such trivial things as you losing a fight, and I highly hope they don't waste the resources on PvP in this game.

[Orratti]

An archer doesn't need slayer arrows, ioun stones or 1/2 of the stuff you're complaining about to own a caster in pvp. All he needs is truesight, the right resists, a shield clicky, manyshot, and the right greater bane or wop bow. My suggestion is they remove the ability to cast stoneskin, haste, jump, and displacement in the arena. From your description of how you pvp and how most "uber" casters pvp I reiterate my post from one of your previous threads that you need killing anyway.

[Tarnoc]

i think they should nerf all the auto target spells from divines and casters alike

ie magic missles force missles defic vengeance to name a few

[bendover]

What's pathetic is how wrong you are. Considering I've killed you. Considering the WF SoS users you've told me that have killed you. And on top of all that you cry like a girl and have to dance melee's. Why to go tough guy because in PvE you're useless.

Pale Lavender Ioun Stone - Spell Absorption (40 charges, recharged 3/day) (ML: 5, Bound to Character)

get a better toon and stop crying

pale lavander ioun stone : lvl 5, bound to character, 50 charge/15 day

and it doesnt work like mantle/spell absorbtion scarab

the stone absorb the lvl of the spell. in other words a meteor swarm will take away 36 charges

[funnyone]

It's called blocking OP, discover it.

Listen to this guy. He knows how to pvp.

ok, what you say is:

for someone who can range me back (like a ranger) and deal enough damage to kill me with my inability to do anything back is unfair.

But, you also tell us this:

Melee are able to hit me. If they can stun/trip me they'll have a chance but if I'm ready and even sometimes when I'm not I will win it's just logic. I have lots of HP, I can heal, and throw spells.

how can you be crying for a nerf about nerfing a single item that you want just purely because it helps them to beat you?

Here's a different suggestion: Since niether STR damage nor slayer arrows proc while blocking, Pull out a shield, block while whittling down his protection, then once its gone just let him have it? as long as you are shield blocking, none of his more dangerous effects harm you except straight damage, which you can time to heal when he is reloading,assuming you're using a WF sorc, which is the only thing you never cry for a nerf for anyways.

Change your tactics for them, don't cry for a nerf. Crying for a nerf just says all you want to do is use the same tactics that you think should always work. To put it more plainly:

#1. Those that don't adapt, Die.

#2. Those that do adapt, Don't.

Those that cry for a nerf when their one tactic doesn't work, fall under #1,except they don't even try, they sit around waiting for others to change things For them, until they finally just die out.
