I see what you are saying. While I disagree, that's valid. I think putting more of the emphasis on what defense stops a packet is more important the physical representation of packets as different colors. But I see where you are coming at, I just think it is confusing and not helpful to the...

Why blue and orange are the only two that matter Krystina?

I still think there is value in packet colors. Could we just change the packet color that the packet should match the delivery type? Orange - Poison (like a poison coating on an arrow or a gas globe). Blue - Weapon (arrows) Something new for elemental? All other colors - spell Arcane?

Good point on those two. And Evade still can't be used on contact poisons, but parry can. I hope we can streamline this a bit before it goes live.

Ahh never mind. In the playtest packet they said that parry (and thus evade) work against coatings. Some defenses – like Parry and Riposte or other weapon-specific defenses – have changed to specify that they work against any attack with either the “Weapon” qualifier or the “Poison” qualifier...

So if I'm a fighter with raging blow, poison trigger and up to a 70 slay. I could combine all those and do a 70 poison strike enfeeble and just have to hit their shield? Is a coating a weapon swing? The only defenses for it would be poison shield, poison block, phase, dodge, cloak alteration...

Oh yeah, good point, I agree with that. Getting interupted may still allow you to mediate it back though?

Seems like it since it never is resolved against a defense?

Text says... Perfect Riposte (General, Item [Weapon], Daily) – Once per Logistics period per charge, the character may expend a charge of this ritual when using the Riposting Strike skill to utilize a skill which they have already expended for Riposting Strike's offensive attack. I believe...

Great, thanks for the clarification Polare. That's how we played it this weekend and then I went to look up the actual rule.

How did you get to the point you can shatter natural armor? The playtest rules don't say anything about it that I can find. Per ARB Natural Armor: Some monsters have skin that acts like armor. It can be refit in sixty seconds. It cannot be Shattered or Destroyed nor can it be salvaged after...

Go post them!

We had our playtest this weekend. I'm not quite put together to list all my thoughts but I wanted to give other Denver players a chance to post there thoughts. I did really enjoy rogue this weekend, there is a good chance that is what Kendrick will spirit forge into.

I'm strongly considering attending Seattle in Jan, and would support it being 2.0 vs 1.3 :)

Also, on a side note, I'd really like to see a claw only ritual. I'm not sure what it would do, but I feel like claw users are a bit boned for losing out on a bunch of rituals (even though they can't be shattered/disarmed).

Healing blade and healing strike ritual both seem good in certain situations. I'd be highly surprised to see many if any people take Foundation/Magistarium Blow for the cost its at. Has anyone seen its use?

I think that might be a design flaw if most fighters feel like they have to go that direction.

I think also at some point, weapon profs/backstabs just get too expensive. Once you buy all your defensives you can, then what do you buy? Some people like trick shots. Some people like more damage. Some people will dabble in another spec.

I think crit attack/back attacks are also great for someone who isn't super active all day long but wants to go on a mod or two. We have a few players like that. People who work in the kitchen, etc. I think we have a few people testing it out this weekend in Denver.
