Wow, cause shades NEED to be able to not hit thier perks more.. :p
Shadow.ik 2006-12-14 19:44
They are joking right?
wiltingrose 2006-12-15 03:14
>.> NR shades FTW
Whitey 2006-12-19 11:18
Yup, this just provides YET ANOTHER reason for all shades to go choose NR.

funy nano ty FC
Russm 2007-03-22 15:36
like its not hard to kite a shade till DoF is gone then to alpha him?
Atroxaero 2007-04-16 17:05
lol this is sweet for a soldier to kill shades faster muahahahahahaha...
Manicmouse 2007-04-18 13:10
No-one will ever use this, first thing you do in PVP is AMS to avoid instant death, then you can't cast it... At least make it use PM so we can cast when under NSD. Maybe check against 75% NR not 100%...
Elnin0 2007-05-14 06:55
wow manicmouse thats brutal.... not all soldiers hit ams the instant they get attacked.... for those that do they're gimps... for those that get insta killed.... they're gimps.... its fine the way it is... besides... shades suck ass already as is
Shadow.ik 2007-05-16 21:28
Elnin ever heard about Shade's uber alpha and 3K AR w/o MR?
Manicmouse 2007-10-28 06:21
Well I was a little gimpy back in April ^^ On reflection this nano is just pointless because shades go down so easily anyway :P
Taristin 2007-11-26 22:27
FC hates shades enough as it is. Was this really necessary?
solarisbabe 2008-01-09 02:13
shit buff imo never lands endgame anyway
Vgman 2008-05-17 22:39
Shadow ever heard about "must be behind target"? Shade alpha= non exsistent in pvp
wintypes 2008-09-20 02:45
nowadays I must promise shades not to TMS in order to get them to duel me :) could as well use this then
triggerzer0 2008-09-29 03:00
not like most solds even need this to kill a shade....

shade's don't use stab, they use the last 3 perks in that line that usually (if it lands) will kill the target + using SA ^^
Incinerator 2009-05-14 16:59
Well if the soldiers don't ams at the start of the fight they are dead against a shade atleast the ones I've fought with my shade. If they don't ams, they most likely won't get the chance to hit ams. We can either stun or drain their nano so they can't ams (unless shade is NR perked).
Altough its annoying having to be behind the target to hit perks its almost impossible with lag and sync issues which is a disadvantage imo, it could be so in pvm but change it for pvp so we don't have to run and fish for some empty spot where he is on the server, away from the one we are fighting client side, just to be able perk him.

next to docs soldiers are the 2nd easiest thing for my shade to kill at tl7

One of the remarkable facts in AO is that things change and claims such as "I pwn this and that prof easy" will always backfire at you. Shades were dead meat for most of their existence when facing a soldier. Now they're not. The morale is: things like that change all the time but this nano will forever be useless in this shape and form. :]

actually this works decent when in bs zerg vs zerg and lotz of shades there;)
Kuingar 2012-11-25 18:08
Shades will not beat a Soldier if this goes up - no perks landing with 2k AR D:
