Kodius says, "Serenity is a powerful barrier." Kodius says, "If he is capping it, you'd need to spend about 70% of max mana to get past it." Kodius says, "Or, stance for integrity of your spell." Kodius says, "Barriers have an integrity they will block, and spells have an integrity they possess." Kodius says, "So if he caps Serenity, and it puts up a 60% integrity barrier. You'd have to use a spell with more than 60% integrity to get past it. Kodius says, "That could be done by using 1/2 the mana to cap a spell, and stancing for 115% integrity.." Kodius says, "Or by outright capping a spell, or various other things to get that high." Kodius says, "Or, just hit him enough times to drain his IF completely." Kodius says, "Integrity barriers do nothing if the spell overwhelms them." Kodius says, "Serenity/Swan are really only useful if mages are being lazy and not capping spells (which happens often). also useful against critters that don't often cap spells." Kodius says, "No, Turtle is a potency barrier." Kodius says, "Turtle reduces the spell's power/damage." Kodius says, "The trick with Swan, is once hit it drops for 15 seconds." You ask, "Swan is Integrity too?" Kodius nods. Kodius says, "So you can double-tap the Barbarian." You say, "Ahh." >form start swan With the nimble grace of a swan, you maneuver against the very integrity of mana. Roundtime: 2 sec. You say, "Neat." You say, "I have Swan, Serenity, and Turtgle up." Kodius says, "Oof." Kodius says, "That'll make it pretty difficult to hit you." Pormethius says, "I wonder if the prep issue was fixed too when I fail against serenity." Kodius says, "I recommend two, back-to-back capped LBs." Pormethius asks, "I wasn't getting any message, would you like to see?" Kodius says, "It should have been." You ask, "So using Swan and Serenity together isn't necessary?" You say, "Since they do the same thing." Kodius says, "No, it does help." Kodius says, "They stack." You say, "Ahhh." Pormethius cringes. Kodius says, "Serenity is incapable of blocking a capped spell." Kodius says, "Swan is incapable of blocking a spell cast at 50%." Kodius says, "Together they can block a capped spell." You say, "I gotcha." Grimsel jots down some notes. Kodius says, "However, Serenity will drain some IF when it does, and Swan will discharge for 15 seconds." You say, "I see." You say, "So throwing two capped spells is the best way." Kodius nods. >med flame You begin to meditate upon the chakrel amulet, your inner fire swelling as you center your mind, body, and spirit. Surrounding your reflection is a small aura of beautiful flames. A strong gust threatens the aura forming around you. You recall that you have 0 training sessions remaining with the Guild. You have received training in 12 abilities from the Path of the Horde. You have received training in 14 abilities from the Path of the Flame. You have received training in 6 abilities from the Path of the Predator. You feel a jolt as your vision snaps shut. Kodius says, "Or just pounding you until you run out of IF."
