3s recharge, 10s duration 15% +Defense that self stacks.

Holy Moly, you can triple stack this sucker!

"Nerf this" threads are against the rules. And Parry is built to triple stack. In fact, it's got a built in cap of three stacks - if you magically get it down to a 1s recharge, it still only triple stacks.

[/ QUOTE ]Umm... source? I know of no data to suggest that there's any hard cap on the number of times Parry can be stacked. (Admittedly I've never tried, as my highest Broad Sword character is just lv15)

Also, at the recharge cap Parry has a cycle time of 1.93s, and the defense buff lasts 10s, so there's no "magic" required in getting it to 1s recharge or in triple stacking it. In fact, you only need to get it down to ~2s recharge in order to triple stack, which requires 50% recharge slotting

There's no magic about it, it's pretty easy to get it down to 1s recharge.

The downside is, it's damage is so low if you stack it that often it kills your damage output, so there's a built in balance to keep it reasonable. Yes you can softcap your melee/lethal defense with an attack, but if you do your damage output is going to suffer for it. Most people build to only need one or two applications.

It's quite obvious. By nerfing it he can draw better pictures. I for one would quite enjoy further quality art like his avatar.

Now my avatar is a statement. Emptiness. Think about it.

...not that hard!


Oh, and I think this is a bad idea.

Most likely had difficulty Assassin Striking some Katana Scrapper in one of the PVP zones. Isn't that the type of situation that usually results in someone coming to the boards and begging for a power to be herfed?

And when did Diving Avalanche get added? Did it replace Divine Avalanche or something?

^^ this. that is all.

I've never PvP'd

You still never said why you wanted the powers nerfed.

OP's a herf nerder

Isn't Diving Avalanche one of Maid Guy's moves?

For some reason I came into this thread half expecting a link to the new Harry Potter movie...

However, the entertainment that is here is pretty decent.

Gonna have to ask for a source, too.

I'm almost certain I can get small periods of 4-stacking Divine Avalanche, and it's got way longer of a total cycle time.

Lavitae be wrong yo.

240% +recharge = .88 sec recharge. Animation with Arcanatime = 1.584 seconds. 1.584 + .88 = 2.464 secs between activation. 10 / 2.464 = 405% uptime. And that's just the attainable stack rate while solo. If you actually pull the +rech cap (400% +rech), you can get (10/(1.584 + (3/(1+4))) = 457.8% uptime.

The OP does bring up a good point.

Drugs are bad.
