Not entirely sure what it does. I tried using it in a fame-farm siege, and still took a dirt nap. It doesn't boost any visible stats, lasts all of 10 seconds on around a 20 minute re-use, and is actually a 'skill' so casting speed (or rather re-use time) can't affect it. The best thing about it so far is the cool icon.
I know precisely what the 'weakness' does however (Dizziness: Lowers Attack and running speed) but that's about it. Typical really. ;)
Replacing Curse of Life Flow on the list of SB obscurity with Pain Killer. Curse is actually a pretty good spell. If only the re-use and cast-time reflected it's usefulness.
I just looked at it again. It's 8 seconds on a 10 minute re-use. It does seem to stop damage (from mobs, dunno what happened in the seige).
It's ok but what the hell are you going to do with 8 seconds followed my a further 8+ of 'weakness'? If it was 15 seconds (10 weakened) and a 5 minute re-use, it has potential, but as it is, it's pretty bad.
The only thing I can think of is if a group tries to gank you, you can stop the initial spike damage, but your still gonna die after those 8 seconds are up. 15 seconds would give you time to assess the situation a little more... Before you probably die ^_^.
it makes kamael impervious to damage .....what part of the description didn't you read ......you don't die in 8 sec .....is that too hart to test?
it doen't increas any stats what so ever ...it just makes you invincible .......(it's a crappyer celestial shield because you get an equal time of dizziness after)
Painkiller is SO useful, if you make good use for it it will save your [censored] in pvp. If you don't know what it does, instead of posting negative comments on this skill, I kindly suggest that you tell a friend to duel you, use the skill and let him attack you. Then see what happens. ^^
It is one of our many most important skills. Use it when you engage a nuker. Painkiller , Steal Divinity , Melee them down till they start running then nuke nuke nuke charge rinse repeat.
Yup, after using it more, Pain Killer is a very good addition. The confusion comes from Sieges. The **** thing appears bugged! I should have taken a screen grab. 3 times now, I've triggered it and still taken damage.
Outside that horrible Castle siege (for the attacking side) in Scuttgart I've targeted a robe, ported in, hit painkiller. Proceeded to rip him a new one, but have STILL taken a dirtnap with all that offence redirected on me. Naturally the idea was to go in, murder, then Blink back to safety, but I never got that far. Perhaps they had an SB also hehe ^_^. If not, I strongly believe the skill is bugged on Siege ground.
LordRiot... Painkiller is not bugged. At least not for me. It works in sieges for me. The times that it does not work, is if it gets interupted and you do not notice. It happens.
Especially with multiple people targeting you.
Anyway, Painkiller is awesome. And I agree. Painkiller and when you hit the weakened state of Dizziness Cycle through all your nukes.
