Caaws question resolved As you can see, the feared 100D100 damage isn't physical damage, but rather mana damage.

What feared 100d100 damage? Who is damaged in this screenshot? Do you mean to say the Caaws has a drain mana attack? On 6.11.2005 18:27 roblt97@hotmail.com wrote: There was some discussion about a month ago about one of the attacks that a Caaws can deliver. A few players were under the impression that its final attack dealt 100d100 damage and was basically instant death. The entry reads something like "touch to drain mana for damage 100d100." Ignorance was bliss for me: I stood toe to toe with a Caaws and killed it with some difficulty (for an enormous amount of exp). This led us to agree that the 100d100 damage must be mana damage; i.e., that's how much mana it drains at touch, not how many hp you lose. Dave here was just giving a screenie to support that consensus--although I don't exactly see how the screenshot itself proves anything. At any rate, killing a Caaws can be so drawn out with its GoI spell that it's probably not worth it--quicker to kill some Great Wyrms. Seen 2163 times. |
