HoA Bash

[Mikhan]

I Mikhan the first of my name do hereby cease practicing hammer of air. May those who continue to practice this weave be singled out for unrepentant death and destruction

[Jestin]

Melayna and I also will not practice HoA

[Melayna]

Jestin speaks for me on all matters

[Reyne]

I won't not prac it as it is useful against rats/crows/smobs/mobs but I won't use it in PK that's fine.

From PK with Melayna earlier this morning

* R HP:Battered MV:Fresh - Melayna: Scratched > f
You panic and attempt to flee!

The impact of an unseen force sends you sprawling!

You stumble beneath the crushing force of the air around you!

Mmmm shame there were all these claims of not practicing.

So I don't play channies. Apart from ignoring defense, how does this weave differ from just rolling a bash on someone?

I'm actually kind of OK with having something that counters dodgers. At least it doesn't seem any more stupidly OP than all the other channie stuff like weave targeting and ice spikes having the same timer length as a bash.

If you don't want to risk the chance of getting blown up in one bash/HoA, don't play dodge??


For the record, I think channies fundamentally break PK in a bunch of ways. I just don't see how this is so much worse than all the other crap they can do that we need a playerbase enforced ban.

Melayna can probably explain this better than me, but the timer is shorter and (I believe) can be started on someone who's already bashed, which means the timing isn't as predictable or avoidable, and someone can be bashed for more than 2 consecutive rounds.

I think there are a lot of preconceived notions about HoA and it looks a lot like a PDW thread.
