  • I'm not quite sure I'm seeing where 'aeon all the time' collides with supplementing aeon with asthma or shield stun or whatever else. Are you merely arguing for the sake of arguing? I already ceded my point and was making a distinction between just …
  • That's entirely dependant on the number of people fighting and the combinations of the kill methods available to you then, isn't it?

    One-two people locking isn't the same as aeon all the time. You took two isolated parameters an…
  • Then we need people to post full logs more because there's not much evidence of that occurring apart from people saying it always happens and isolated logs of where it occurs. In fact, in the entirety of the logs I posted there is only 2 instances o…
  • Just in case I didn't get my point across: Go for it, whatever. It doesn't look like it changes much to me anymore but your reasoning for the change doesn't add up with what it actually will do. 
    That is, the reason for the change doesn't refle…
  • So I grabbed a bunch of data from the logs I posted with the domoth fights and crunched them in R for an hour or so. The change proposed doesn't address the problem at all based on the sample of those 9 or so logs of proper fighting. It does turn ou…
  • Thing is I'm pretty sure the suggested change won't even address what it's trying to address. 
    Removing aeon is a much better alternative.
  • Fine. You're right guys, aeonics will retain its full value after the addition of an aeon immunity. Researchers are in a perfect state to pull off timequake from shatterplex. 

    You're also correct in saying that researchers can a…
  • I suppose hearing will be gaining an immunity window next after earache ends then?
  • Sure, w/e. Give aeon a 3 sec immunity.
    You're right, researchers have absolutely 0 reliance on aeon. My mistake. 
    Edit: Same with moonies. They don't rely on aeon.
  • Tell me how you're going to pull off timequake with shatterplex solo when someone can send a queue to the server to eat dust then smoke steam.
  • Not at all. If you read the previous pages I already admitted that I was a fan of removing aeon so please do not put words in my mouth. 

    The difference is that nihilists, cacophony, and illuminati opt into aeon. Their kits do no…
  • I also raised the issue where timewarps can't be built without either hindering curing via aeon or applying spiritual afflictions rapidly, the only one of which researchers can inflict is aeon or pacifism with tarot.
    Most classes also have…
  • Right. Institue group level value is aeon. I thought we established this?
  • Which makes timewaprs pretty meh.
  • Except that's not how it works. Researchers won't get compensated because, as everyone here as argued, it won't influence them at all. 
  • Oh. Am sorry :(  
    I'll go take my partisan hat off.

    Edit: Yeah, that's fine.
    I think a better…
  • Believe it or not, if you had read my statement it was restricted entirely to researchers.
  • If you have to rely entirely on common class skills to achieve something, it generally means it's safe to say that your class specialisation isn't fitted to achieve that thing.
    I feel like you just stated 'Researchers can keep people …
  • That won't be the case once the serverside curing queue goes in. Malefact is 2 seconds offbal, shatterplex is 3. Even with amnesia on beast they have  a 3 second window to smoke steam and just leave the room/shield/gust, and that's after they've cur…

  • No one is arguing against aeon immunity. Aeon immunity without filling the gap is the problem but you're right, there is no gap. 
    Also, I can't prep someone for aeon ahead of time. Malefact is a 2 second balance.

    Edit: What…
  • So I'm late to your list but:
     A) A little bit of coding will make it so you never run out of steam before aeon. Just tap out your pipe at 3 smokes remaining. Hell, I have two artifact pipes for steam. in What can I do against this Comment by Yarith June 2016
  • When did aeon get buffed? :|
  • Indeed, the instance where paradox would ruin your soft lock (or is just outright wasted because it lands on an immunity) would be pretty trash. I don't think that makes the skill trash and I'm not sure how you made that connection but we'll move on.
  • Except for the fact it wasn't a complaint at all.
    Edit: Except sometimes people get pulled in by rad and you already have paradox up or they get washed in by currents or everyone gets pushed out and someone uses gpent and you still ha…
  • It's 4-5* tics over around 1.5 minutes and sometimes they're all timewarp or they displace the only person in the room long enough that the group comes and wipes you out before you get a pick. 

    Edit: Nah. I was just answer…
  • Paradox is 5p and I frequently use it as well as aeonfield.
    Timequake isn't feasible anyway. If you're building rubies in groups you're wasting your balances and being greedy.

    I mean, I guess just shieldstunning and entanglespamming i…
  • So on the odd chance that paradox-aeon screws up everything I want to ensure that they don't get hit by aeonfield.

    I suppose aeon will just leave paradox. 

    I don't see how researchers are scary at all. I wo…
  • It applies in groups too. Randomly aeoning someone, giving them a 3s window because it's RNG and no one can make a lock before everyone gets balance back to synergise. I always use paradox.
  • What it means is that abilities like paradox and aeonfield will throw people off trying to stick soft aeonlocks. If someone isn't on their toes or paradox throws out a random aeon then the person has immunity and you're reset for 3-4 seconds and you…
