>There will now be at least 5 bulls wandering in the area, and odds are very good that they're going to find you rather than make you go look for them.
>If hunting in a group, or more than one hunter's in the area, the overall ratio of bull to hunter will remain at about 3:1.

Wow, those sound awesome. Plague wraiths and Maelshyvean hierophants need something like this...

Aside from SW what other spells and abilities did you see?

Yeah, it seems to be a ranged or War Mage creature.

ES protects from that.

A black panther is stunned!

>>ES protects from that.

At least ES stacks for a very long time, makes getting one then going in there do-able for us non warmies. Could be far worse.

Now I think I see why the GEN sucked for so long. They weren't done making the bulls.

At first I thought they were an anti mage creature, because of their ability to absorb elemental magic.

Just from reading the log, now it looks like they are a mage creature, because we need ES to hunt them....

I was thinking this was going to be a great creature, if the gen was ever fixed, now I'm not so upset that its not a ranger area. They went right back to being something I wouldn't hunt.

We really need a ranger hunting area+creature, much like the Geni area, but higher level.

Some other things I'd like to see are high level creatures, with lower level boxes. Like a Malchata level creature (or higher), with fendryad/geni level boxes.

::hums cheerfully::

(actually, there's other ways to avoid the storm bull's zap... Think about what you were doing with that scimitar).

And thanks for letting us know about the extra nose rings - that should be fixed in all instances.

Well, i tried jabbing, ambushing, aiming for certain parts to avoid its coat, pummeling, feinting, slicing. What else can you do with a weapon anyone?

I wonder if wood weapons are immune to the lightning zap? If not, then I'd request they are :P

I think I got the riddle.

You're ATTACKing with a big metal object while attacking something that uses electricity.

BZZZZAMPF! Hope you like your barbecue extra crispy.

Use the actual DRAW/SWEEP/SLICE/CHOP commands to avoid it, maybe?

Am I close, Danalae?

>attack
>As your silver-edged scimitar lands, a bright blue-white light flares around the storm bull, and a sharp CRACK of electricity discharges through the metal scimitar.
>The jolt travels through your body, making it convulse in pain!

Awesome! Those bulls rip me apart, otherwise I'd experiment hehe. Very, very cool aspect.

-Ghodbane

<<The jolt travels through your body, making it convulse in pain!>>

the "it" in this sentence is not a typo is it? If not than it looks like making it release electricity hurts the bull, so finding a way to make it release it's electricity without it traveling through your body would make sense....how to do that with a melee weapon is beyond me tho.

The antecedent of "it" is "your body." You got shocked. You're the one in pain. There's no typo.

<<>>I would like to point out that, unless you're a Barbarian or Thief, you have the option of buying an ES scroll on Ratha.

<<Incorrect, unless it was added recently.

The shop used to sell ES scrolls way back in the day when Fire Shard scrolls were still there, but they're both long since gone. I've just verified in game that it wasn't recently added in Prime at the very least. An Iheaneu'a Shield Brooch sold at that shop, however, could be for ES, but that's just a guess on my part. Even if it were, at around 7.5 plat lirum a pop for limited charges, it isn't exactly a bargain.

ES isn't sold anymore? Wow, that's kind of surprising. There should be a merchant in Ilaya, like "a mage" or something, that sells ES scrolls.

Yay, finally a warrior-mage oriented creature. :)

>There's no typo.

Still, you don't usually refer to people as 'it'.

>Still, you don't usually refer to people as 'it'.

That depends entirely upon the sort of people to whom you are referring. Also, as Axillus said, you do refer to a body with the neuter pronoun.
