Adult Wyvern Drop Attack 05/07/2014 04:57 PM CDT
Since 3.1 came out I moved hunting areas to Adult Wyverns near Shard. Is it intended for the swoop attack that picks you up and drops you to do such insane damage? I've been blocking/parrying/dodging about 95% of the attacks, but as soon as one lands it's an instant internal beyond measure bleeder. That seems a little excessive to me don't you think? I can't stay in there for longer than 10 minutes before I have to leave and get healed. Can this be looked at and adjusted please?

Got wings?

No, if it will stop the bleeder i'm interested in buying them. That attack is extreme.

Do you need wings to do the athleticism check at all?

If so, I kinda wish that wasn't the case. I'd rather wings just give some kind of boost in effectiveness.



Uzmam! The Chairman will NOT be pleased to know you're trying to build outside of approved zones. I'd hate for you to be charged the taxes needed to have this place re-zoned. Head for the manor if you're feeling creative.

I seem to remember a GM posting that the wings are not mandatory to pass the athletic check, a cloak/cape/robe would also work, but wouldn't be "as stylish". No idea how many ranks are required to pass the check however.

When naming your holy weapon consider the following: Everyone has a Holy Avenger or a Divine Vengeance. Why not go with something your foes will never accept the shame of being smote by, "The Fuzzy Kitten".

A bit late to the party here, but I've got my necromancer hunting here now. I am wearing a cloak that gives the billowing message. With 1620 in athletics and over 100 in all stats, I get a moderate bleeder when I get dropped. Is this what passing the check means? I'm nearing the cap in athletics and this special attack still makes these guys extremely difficult to hunt.

What are the wings everyone is mentioning?

Festival fluff wings like these:

IIRC if you're wearing fluff wings you (have a chance to?) glide down like you're a (female) Gelfling.
