Description

When reading old comments on ign about live-daoc they were talking about some special meleemechanic that only exists for VW as it seems and it looks like it is not working on uth atm(or maybe it does but i missed it:)

Reproduction Steps

1. Log two meleeclasses of at least 1 has to be a VW that each have access to evade+ evadeopener or parry + parryopener
2. Let charA hit the mob so the mob attacks him. Wait for charA to evade or parry.
3. Let the VW start attacking with his evade- or parrycombo, depending
4. Did the evadeopener(or parry) work ? Y/n?
5. Compare with live

Intended Behavior

Add the missing the meleemechanic to the game if possible

If several VW are fighting the same target and their "victim"(doesnt matter if real enemy or mob) is triggering a evade or parry off one of those VW, all five VW will be able to perform their parry- (Lvl4 style "Sawgrass") or evadecombo (lvl8 "Arboreal Fire").

Or another example. A hero is tanking a mob/enemy and gets a parry or evade(very lucky^^). Any VW nearby, doesnt matter if he is grouped or ungrouped with that hero, could start using their parry- or evadechain right on that mob/enemy.

Evidence

LIVE:VW + hero grouped/ungrouped, Parrycombo against treemobs

2 VW facing(ungrouped) an Armsman, testing with evadechain. Also workes


And from ign forums 2003ish they are talking about just that special mechanic.

"Just FYI for the "Parry topic" above. The pre-requisite for Sawgrass is "you parry", as it states when you delve the style. The pre-requisite for Thorny Shield is "target is parried", even though it does'nt delve that way, that is the manner in which it works. Under the second criteria, if anyone parries your target (including yourself), Thorny Shield will function. This is very useful when you are supporting a primary tank who is holding aggro and has high parry skills, ie; Spear Hero, Celtic Dual BM, or Large Weapon Champ.It does not function when you are parried by an opponent.

I have used this style in this manner literally dozens of times and I am can assure you it works in this manner. Arborial Fire works in the same manner off evade, use it when a Nightshade is tanking and you can start the chain constantly."

"FYI, the evade chain is the same way.
'TARGET IS EVADED'
Thus, valewalkers can do their evade chain if a tank holding aggro evades. This works very well in groups of 2+ valewalkers. LET THE BURNING BEGIN!"
