"The fighting in the north seems dulled for a moment"...

[Sarinda]

This happened within just a few minutes of reboot. I am trying to relearn northern PK after an extended absence, and even before then, I was more of a middling level PKer. Jestin and 2-3 others were around right before reboot outside of Fal Dara, and he came in earlier to scout a bit but I hadn't seen him in a while. I want to be better and I'm currently a Tower Accepted and Red Ajah apprentice, so I was loitering in the north and trying to muster up the courage to go out solo to look for some PK.

I've been sparring lots of Tower members lately, and I thought I did well here, but there's a lot to learn and I would welcome any feedback on how I could improve here in channeler vs. channeler combat!

Overall, I think Slice helped me a little with getting on the right tempo, and in a group combat I think it could really add a fascinating dynamic to group combat as well. I think it's a really fascinating weave right now and I'm still trying to develop my skill with knowing when to use it and when to use a damaging weave instead. I feel bad that Jestin got a flee into a room with guards and mobripped because I didn't actually earn the final hit for the kill, but this was my first solo kill against a dreadlord and I'm really proud of that.

If anyone else uses Slice Weaves, I would love to hear your thoughts on when you use it and other strategies I could learn from.

[Weir]

Earthquake is not a welcome weave inside Fal Dara.

[Dimmu]

Jestin invariably dies inside FD to mobs on most occasions he's there, due to his aggressive style and the fast hitting nature of the mobs therein. I suspect you would of had a much more painful experience in any other zone however.

[Lisennet]

Don't listen to them. EARTHQUAKE IS FINE!

[Sarinda]

Earthquake is not a welcome weave inside Fal Dara.

Sorry! That is very helpful to know. Noted.

Oh yeah, I suspect the same. I mean if he had any SPs left I probably was only 1-2 weaves away from dying myself. This post is definitely not meant to be a brag, I’m trying to learn from it. Do you have any suggestions on what I could have done better?

[iria]

Fun to see Slice being used, however it still seems very lackluster and unless you want to experiment or like the idea of slice, I'd probably just use another weave if I were you. Or at least keep it as a trick. If it buys you one flame strike on the opponent it has probably done its job, but it seems like it cost you a 2-3 for the one you gained.

Exactly this.

[isabel]

No shade on what looks like a fun fight but i do think a rank 4 tower member should know basic laws of a closely allied nation before they go there. Isn't the whole point of being trained by the Tower that you don't use the one power irresponsibly?

Perhaps a detailed rp review of the laws of various nations by the venerable Aes Sedai posting above me is in order 0:-)

[marwell]

Slice weave gives opponent a pulse of lag. So if you slice and time we’ll, you can get an ice spike off before their flamestrike if they double tap fstrike or if they are caught off guard a bit.

[Naerin]

Agree though, think you tried 5 or 6 slices and got 1 FS extra off as a result, and you ended up out of sps partially as a result. Might be more useful against a FC where you can tell when they're weaving. Also, your timing was good enough to trade FSes - probably didn't need the pulse that slice provides.
