My attempt at dueling Linelle

To jarrhn, thanks for the advice. I shall keep it in mind.

Learn to parry on each balance against limb based classes

To tonykunz, two problems, one, I need both hands for several thespia songs, bedazzlement and earthquake that are invaluable in fighting foes. Sketches require me to have both hands empty as well. For the second problem, how would I do that? Have aliases to quickly parry each limb? Or set up coding to parry a limb after someone targets it. The first option I could figure out, the second I'm lost. Thanks for your advice though.

Could try something as simple as wield, parry, unwield, dothisattack. Test it, not too sure it you lose your parried limb

Can't parry unless I'm wielding something capable of parrying and instruments are not. So even if I switch to parrying the correct limb, if I wield both a mandolin and a flute to do bedazzlement on someone, I won't be able to parry until I get equilibrium back and can rewield something that can parry.

When you are juggling can you parry?

I can parry when juggling as long as one hand has something capable of parrying with. One hand needs to be free while juggling. That is why after I did my main offensive songs I wielded my tower shield and started to juggle.

Unbelieveable by simply wielding a tower you drop 20point of damage.

I have a really nice tower. And a good smith friend.

Does powersoul affect all warding skills or just qjab?

Just quickjab.

Ok. So why was Linelle keeping up powersoul when she was only doing tipslash?
Just something I noticed. While I'll be the first to admit I'm not a good combatant myself. Also she left it a bit to beastbane.

Wielding a harp, or a shield means you can parry.

I don't really think there was anything you could have done given the circumstances. Bard against beastbane is a downhill battle. I could have killed your songbird and your sketch, but I wanted to give you a fighting chance.

Keep it up!

You're a better (And more innovative) bard than 99% of the population and you seek to get better which is awesome. I'm nowhere near as good as Lins (yet >:) ) but hopefully we'll both get there soon. Good luck and never stop trying. Awesome log.

To Coolintro, its fine, I know I was at a disadvantage but those kinds of fights are good, keep me from getting cocky and point out flaws in how I fight and in my reflexes. I've learned I have a hole in my reflexes with rebounding, it didn't have your way of razing it so it didn't automatically resmoke linseed. So now I, hopefully, fixed that. I had fun fighting uphill and one day, I want to get all the way up that hill and win. And to mbayliss1990, thank you for your kind words. Good luck with getting better in combat too!

Just keep the parry up bud. I've got a bunch of simple alias parries. ph parry head, pll parry left leg prl parry right leg et cetera. I just use #says to let me know when my enemy hits one of my limbs, because sometimes the spam is too great. Diagnose, yeah, like someone said, because I think it was maidenhair, not mending at the end that you needed to use. Also, restore can be your friend against limb breaks. 95% of the time, it's what saves me from bbt

Yeah, it was broken arms that messed it up for him. He had 1 broken arm and 1 mangled arm, so it just fizzled away. Delete that trigger, and make it an echo that tells you to diag instead, because it's made of evil.

As other people have pointed out, you were looping mending to arms since about 30 seconds into the fight and continued to do so for its entire duration.

The Zmud/Cmud version of your trigger for "As both your arms are crippled, you cannot do that." should look something like this:

#if (@RArmStatus = 0) {RArmStatus = 1}
#if (@LArmStatus = 0) {LArmStatus = 1}

You would also want a trigger for:
The salve fizzles away without effect.

You can have that trigger do a number of things. If you want to be fancy you can track the last salve you applied and use that to determine what isn't working. Alternatively, you can simply trigger it to #SAY or #ECHO "Diagnose now, noob!" onto your screen.

As others have pointed out, your combat strategy wasn't too bad and it was always going to be an uphill battle for you against someone with beastbane. With that said, better implementation of Revelation tracking and Yoth would have given you a slightly better chance at building some offensive momentum and slowing down Linelle's offense.

Hope that helps.

Or did you miss the change that gave them powersoul now?

If you want pointers with bard combat talk to Iluv

To dgroz093, yes, I know, I know, I need better tracking but I have no clue how to do it, I try to read how and my mind hurts, and zmud won't work on my computer and now the trial is up so I am not spending money on it for something that might not even work.
