You know how i wish evasion acted?

• Iyasenu wrote on 2010-12-22 09:48
  I wish it stunned the attacker. xD
  
  But the only reason I even had this thought is because that's how it was in the Shin Megami Tensei MMO. xD
  
  The combat system was so similar that I couldn't help but draw parallels. xD
  
  In that game, evading a ranged attack, physical or magical, stunned the attacker and let the evader actually have a good chance of getting some hits in on an enemy spamming magic attacks.
  
  In that game, the delay was similar to something hitting your defense skill.
  
  
  Would a stun effect on the attacker of a successful evasion be plausible at all?
  It'd help so much more on magical attackers, since even if they miss a bolt they still have physical attacks to attack an evader that's close to them. xD

  So basically, evasion should work like a rolling headbutt attack!
  
  I would actually use it in that case, rather than just rank it for the dex.

  HAHAHA!
  
  What you just said.
  
  In my mind, I pictured Charge, but instead of running, you roll really fast. xD

  and charge should work differently too. Charge should be something like one attack to get to the ranged enemy at all costs not letting you get knocked down by that same range attack
  though atm magnum > charge. firebolt > charge. hell even AR> charge
  
  only useful if your PD procs :/

  Magnum doesn't stop charge, though... unless you're against someone with insane damage and it crits you to deadly.
  
  In EvG... well, even regular range > charge.

  Jack Frost xD
  
  Those things are so funny looking. :p
  
  
  But evasion would be so much better to use against an opponent if it gave you an opening to attack, instead of just putting of the inevitable. xD
  
  Especially in the case of AR and multiple bolts. :p

  If theres a game similar to Mabinogi fighting system I want to play it. Hopefully the Host will provide better service and be less money draining on my Wallet. :T_T:

  Have any of you actually ranked Evasion? At r9 you can immediately make use of skills, initiate normal attacks or run after using the skill.
• Pocoyo wrote on 2010-12-22 13:23
  Go pokemon style and make evade into Rollout, then it will be a decent skill.

  TLDR, but from the first and second post, that would defeat Evade's purpose would it not? If you were close might as well attack, and since magic and alchemy are long-range you would never be able to "headbutt" them since they are shooting at you from afar.

  It wouldn't defeat evade's purpose.
  It's purpose is to evade an attack.
  
  As is, it's only good if you evade an arrow attack and end up close to the enemy.
  
  If it's a magic attack they can attack you with melee during or after evade, since nothing's stopping them anymore.
  
  It's like enemy prepares bolt->evade->bolt misses->go to attack enemy and enemy goes to attack you->either you, they, or both get hit. It's kind of flawed in that sense.
  
  If it stunned the attacker, it'd make evasion better way to handle bolt spamming enemies.

  I must learn to read more before I post :P
  
  Nope, I didn't rank it after I felt that it wasn't gonna help much. xD
  I didn't know this though.
  
  It doesn't do that before r9?
  
  Does it make it a lot more useful?

  Megaten was a pain to run around in though.

  A pain?
  
  Cuz everything was so big and the first dungeon had those mutli aggro enemies on the way to it? xD
  
  I just got to 20-something before I quit. xD
  
  It was fun, but I've already spent too much on Mabi.
  
  
  I liked those skills though.
