>>But yeah, my thoughts on the change basically mirror Powerhaus' in that it's going to be really hard to both hit and ignite the naphtha at level. Let alone thinking about a target that's good with a shield. I'm not aware that folks ever really used naphtha for at level hunting except for the occasional, "This might be fun". If you are trying to use it at level, you might have better results using splash + multi-strike spells. Or aiming both the naphtha and the ignition vehicle at a part that's easy to hit like the chest. The likelihood of hitting a shield hasn't changed with this update, though I have plans to let shields and weapons get ignited by naphtha once this part is done. More commonly, naphtha is being used to quickly destroy boss level creatures, and as an 'I win' button for PvP. The mechanics for using naphtha, and the damages it does are based more for these purposes. >>How shallow? It doesn't seem to be possible to sit or lie on water anymore. Or does just entering the water get rid of the naphtha like it does to flee traps? It depends on what body part is on fire. FALL will flop you over in the water.
