I would not waste 5 power on Fluidflesh to def up. Fleshcrafting is rather quick and the extra minute you spend doing that is better than blowing 5 power.
I do not bother with Warrior tarot either, the couple hundred damage it gives is again not worth the power cost. Aethersight is good to keep up 'tryhard' mode or not, so you know if a friend or foe is summoning/teleporting to you.
A whole minute = time your group is wiping without you, or you missing the ferry back up into the action. I'm only citing Fluidflesh because I've heard from other Illums about how useful it can be.
Well I used "minute" as a generic number, not an exact value. If you want exact, it takes 24 seconds to fleshcraft completely. I am not going to blow 5 power to save 24 seconds. My group can wait 24 seconds.
There have been fights where I've literally gone back as soon as I could revive with only the most basic of defences. 24 seconds can be a very long time, especially if the fight is very close.
That is an entirely different situation than deffing up. I have also gone back with the basic defs. If I am fully deffing up before I return, however, the extra 24 seconds is nothing. If my group chooses to leave without me, so be it. I am still not blowing 5 power to save 24 seconds.
Power is overrated. Use your power. People are so spendthrift, but you can always fill up on astral if you're feeling guilty about drawing.
There is no such thing as 'blowing' 5 power. (But hey, if you want your group to always be waiting on you to redef, I'm not complaining! We'll be prepping our death-room )
Well power is a limiter in how quickly you can redef as you need that power available to use. That's what I'm referring more to, versus reserves. Sorry for confusion!
tbh Warrior is a bit of a joke lul. Enigma, fool, and world will always go up first. If I have time to put everything up, great. If I'm running back to the fight the only things I'm putting up are rings, thirdeye, and anything else on the free balance.

Maybe it's because I'm a midtier fighter, but I always thought that those extra thirty seconds raising the extra defences would be the difference between the extra minutes of me surviving or not. And I'm much more useful with each balance than I am if I'm focused down immediately.
Most Illuminati can run in without fleshcrafting at all. Tarot doesn't need it, Paradigmatics doesn't. You can run back to the group, spam hangedman and revelations/butterfly and then fleshcraft yourself when a lull happens. If you need to toss out damage you can cosmicfire.
Are you really sure you want another round of elder cutting shenanigans?
Viravain, Lady of the Thorns shouts, "And You would seize Me? Fool! I am the Glomdoring! I am the Wyrd, and beneath the cloak of Night, the shadows of the Silent stir!"
Remember that agreement to not cut elders that was signed between Glom and Seren that Glom conveniently forgot - even when presented with a copy bearing the unmistakable seal of Glomdoring? Yeah.
Avu is cutting Seren elders, so Hallifax is cutting Glom elders.
Seems legit on both sides.
Everiine said: The reason population is low isn't because there are too many orgs. It's because so many facets of the game are outright broken and protected by those who benefit from it being that way. An overabundance of gimmicks (including game-breaking ones), artifacts that destroy any concept of balance, blatant pay-to-win features, and an obsession with convenience that makes few things actually worthwhile all contribute to the game's sad decline.

Anyways, who is chopping totems?
Yarith started cutting down glom trees so one of our little ones took it upon themselves to go and cut down two Serenwilde trees
Yeah, but when my friends are upset and don't feel like playing or talk bout withdrawing because of the continual hounding on ethereal I figure why not? Sure, it's not griefing, sure, there's worse things that can happen but if it's fine to make people feel that way I am sure I can't do any worse.

That's far from it. You've been killing loyal mobs day in day out on times when nobody is around for weeks. The moment anyone shows up you run unless you know you can get a cheap kill. It's Twytch all over again.

edit: use warrior, if you're deffing up fully, use warrior.
Ixion tells you, "// I don't think anyone else had a clue, amazing form."
Except for hexaura. It's always embarrassing to forget hexaura and arrive with no hexes.

I cut down one.
It's only a problem if the north is doing it though, right. There's no big hubub if anyone else does it for ages. \o/

Ciaran kills daughters, I go kill elemental lords. Yarith Chops down an elder tree. One of our novices Chops down two serenwilde trees.
That's basically the entire course of events :yawn:
