Shattered Kingdoms

You mean trips? Because bashees get up slightly before you do, technically.

If this were true, spam bashing wouldn't be possible, and casting wouldn't be completely shut down by bashing done during concentration time. Bashees get up after bashers.

combat casting is awesome.

That is all.

For spam bashing to truly work, you need to have 2 bashers. The bashee does have a small period of time where he is up but the basher cannot bash. Usually, people spam during fights so their previous commands are stacked so it doesn't matter for when they get up, they continue in what they were doing. If you didn't spam command beforehand, you can flee before the basher can bash you again. Unless, the other basher bashes your sorry [REDACTED] before you can flee.

Once again, not true. If it were, a spell that was being concentrated on during bash would fire between being up and being bashed again. It doesn't. Also, even if you aren't spamming during a fight, and just hit flee as soon as you get bashed, you still don't flee before you get bashed again.

The basher has slightly less lag than the bashee. The tripper has considerably less lag than the trippee.

I've often heard that blitzkrieg does too little damage, but that is entirely in your hands. All blitz does is give you extra weapon attacks, which does the same amount of damage as all your other weapon attacks. So if you want more damage, choose a bigger weapon and get more strength.

Is it weapon types or damage types?

I know I can't blitz with my acid-bite kama.

Weapon types determine whether you can blitz.

You can blitz with any slashing weapon from blade staff to polearm. Its a good way to train weapons finding a slashing weapon and blitzing (checks weapon skill each attack with blitz).



This is not the case the problem is it has to much lag to be useful.

If you "bash blitz bash" you will not land the second bash before a foe has either bashed you or cast a spell. If as Achernar said it tucked neatly into the lag time differences between basher and bashie people would use it much more often. The fact it is for most races only useful as a time saving device against large numbers of low level NPCs. I have not tried a giant or dwarf merc they might find blitz useful due to the size and damage bonus they have.

That being said having someone bashed causes extra damage rumored to be around 20%. If you attack twice a round for three rounds thats 6 attack 6*20 = 120% better than one extra attack(+50% damage) chances are you will only get one before your bashed in PK. Even if your not bashed the best you can hope for is 150% extra damage from three blitz in three rounds (which doesnt happen due to the lag of blitz). If your attacking four times a round your looking at 240% extra with a bash even if this percentage extra damage was only 10% with four attacks it is well worth it. Also include the fact your foe can not use any skills or flee its not exactly the money or the box why people spam bash over use other skills.
