Is there anything better to hunt than adan'f warriors & mages, using stealth? At night they're not hard at all to hunt with stealths but it seems once the sun comes up it's almost impossible to hide from them, let alone dodge their tail attack when in hiding. They're not really a threat but either they're good at seeing you hiding during the day or my stealth skills are a little low for them.

I tried forest geni, hiding from them is even worse. Tried cave trolls since them seem a little lower in level, but I'm not learning anything from them.

>>At night they're not hard at all to hunt with stealths but it seems once the sun comes up it's almost impossible to hide from them, let alone dodge their tail attack when in hiding.

Confirmation bias. The night bonus/day penalty for stealth has been removed for a loooooong time.

What about Gryphons? Or Shalswar?

was it a head bleeder? because stealth is inordinately "punished" for head bleeders.

>All leg bleeders

...stealth is also hindered severely by leg bleeders..

>>Well, having them healed up with herbs, still had issues anyway

Leg wounds in general hinder stealth, not just bleeders. Even if you have those micro-scars visible only to empaths, they're still giving you a small stealth penalty.

Stop herb healing. They won't heal anything that's been partialled by herbs. You can go get fresh wounds there, though.

>Do these guy's spells annihilate players now or are they kinda in line with their skill level?

Wearing some rugged shalswar-hide leathers, a lumium mail balaclava, reinforced hide gloves, a croc buckler I think (it's dyed and I can't remember what hide it is)

Shield Usage:366 Light Armor:349 Chain Armor:288 Defending:356 Parry Ability:301 Evasion:380 Tactics:390

Using a 51/94/40 evasion/shield/parry stance

50 reflex
60 stamina (posted this because the vit wall probably makes a big difference on how many spell hits you can take)

Without Lay Ward, dinazen olkar hits often enough that in the time it takes to scrounge up 20 or 30 boxes I might have to use healing herbs to keep me in good enough shape to keep hunting relatively safely without taking an empath break.

I evade, block or at least partially block most of the spells but enough get through to give me scratches or up to cuts and bruises which builds up quick if you don't take the mages out whenever they make an appearance.

You probably also need the stats to resist Mental Blast (i don't have the numbers for that). I'm a moon mage so my stat build is mental blast resistant. I don't bother with psychic shield when I hunt them.

With Lay Ward cast I'm immune to Adan'f mage spells.

Has their magic been fixed yet? I'm going to be at this level soon and I used to love adan'f but if I can't learn any parry I won't bother.

Use Lay Ward.

you can still learn parry, IIRC every attack still contests all skills, and thus teaches any you have actively stanced, it's just probably going to b e slow, since in order to get a good evasion/shield stance you'll have to keep your parry down around 10 or so...

also, can you use your ambush moves on them?

looks like ambush stun could help, or, since it can be done without hiding, ambush screen...

Too bad the Mages can't be skinned anymore, at least the warriors can still be skinned.
