Zyph Priests Spamming SS on Everyone in War

[grofire]

i never had a problom with ss, just cast dispel and wait the priest run out of the ss, and stun him, this end the dissction....
if u take out ss, or put him a coold down, then do the same to blue, slow, stun, anti magic, poison, should i keep going ?

[Olon]

I wanna know if something will be done with ss too cause I sure on't be playing if priests can cast it on everyone except mages and priests everytime they want.

i know this is a part of the game but i still agree with some suggestions in suggestion section to make buff and protection spells being able to be casted only in party/nation/guild members.... but as long as they didnt say anything about this changes yet and what they think about it this is just a part of the game so deal with it =P

I still disagree its a strategy for a priest to ss someone to stop them from using spells. But i do think they should make it to where you can only cast 1 ss at a time.

if u look more closely to the game, when some1 gets ss for not using their spells it's some1 who's quit new to the game, cuz every magic class can counter ss spell... the main problem here is, is that the non magic classes cant counter this ss cuz they just cant get the spels from priest/wiz to counter it... like some1 said already (i think it was arab) maybe there should be a spell that a wiz or priest can give out to counter the ss and then i'd be like stun, u can choose to wear the right protection or u're to lazy to get it and get stunned

Valarwen only make masive stunt when enemy start first. no more comment.

Stun can't be compared to SS. Stun can be prevented in many ways, SS can't.

SS can be prevented by using
1. Dispel Magic
2. Return From CounterAction Of Divine Grace
So if you do not wanted to be SSed, learn these magic!

Ok. You got 2/5 of the classes that can prevent it. Let's ignore the other 3, right?

Pepsi, Stun, etc have pots or spells that can prevent them. How can you even compare them to SS? Can someone please explain this to me?

Maybe they should have pro or sfd prevent ss being cast on them and that would solve everyone's problem.

[hakka]

yea.. they should make it that if person has other protection magic on, SS wont affect him. Then it will solve the problem.

That may lessen the problem, but it doesn't solve the problem. Protection spells are supposed to be protection spells, but they are often used as curse spells. Complete Sanctuary is the one that is abused most often, but other spells are used too. The Priest spell Divine Blessing is also used sometimes because it's such a horrible spell, and it prevents people from getting something better such as SFD.

Perhaps most of you never played on the .my server when it was open many years ago, but nearly every Priest from every nation on that server would use all g4 and g5 masking rares so their complete sanctuary spell would be 4 to 5 minutes long. They would then proceed to cast it upon everyone, friend or foe, making it impossible for people to attack each other. Sure, mage and priest can prevent SS from being cast upon them, but they don't have any piercing spells so they aren't in any better of a position to attack anyone. Perhaps most of you have never seen SS abused to such an extreme, so you don't understand why I am so fanatical about it being changed, but it literally does ruin the game. Why play the game at all if no one can attack anyone during wars?

i still satay with the same view of this problem but i also think this is an issue just like stun/defood and others.. ppl can abuse it, ppl can make a hell for others with this skills but almost everyone just try to make a better fight using other methods or using this methods only as last resort..

isnt SS only used when fighting against many players? cause you cant actually kill someone as a priest with SS right?

just start calling ppl noob when they do this stuff and this should help lowering the number of ppl abusing it just like defood =P

doesnt help for reece

anyways, like balzak says, u should see it more like a curse then since it's used like one aswell... better to find a spell to prevent it then trying to take away a part of the effect imho

It's not just like stun/defood/pepsi/stonization, etc. All of these can be prevented, SS can't. VERY different .__.
