So I just thought that putting slow on Nix would be great because if someone tried to use holy path, they would never get away. And Nix goes 10.9 m/s at lv. 90 it's perfect. b:victory Just wondering if it work in duels and TW... b:bye

    Not an expert on this, but I would say from my perspective that duels are no, because they're like what, a venomous scarab distance? Maybe for melee things then it's worth it, magic/ranged is probably not worth it. TW, maybe, again for the melee's. D: (Correct me if I'm wrong). I would just add attacks maybe, since the nix is so fast @_@.
    o.o.

    Cast slow, take a step back like 1 meter, opponant is either stuck in animation or still attacking before they are able to take another step twards you, gives you an extra second to cast a skill without taking dmg.. in a duel that 1 second is a lifetime. But if you have a nix... ream it.

    Slow can be handy, but for a nix definantly ream it. Ream will be a lot more beneficial than slow, as ream will usually kill them or do a lot of damage to them than slowing them to catch up and attack would. If you get a ream in, you could kill them before holy path wears off (depending on the class and build).

    yes, slow them when they holy path, that works perfectly

    slow is just not a good idea for a nix at all.

    Maybe for a land PvP pet like kowlin, slow could help you kite, but there's not really a free skill slot for it on nix--and it's useless for air PvP anyway. Taking off any of a nix's stills for it would be very detrimental considering that very limited usefulness, but it's a decent (and much cheaper) alternative to finding a pounce scroll for your land/instance PvP pet.

    A friend told me that Nix came with blessing, claw, and flesh ream... so that's why I thought there would be another skill slot available since it already had flesh ream. lolz... We were both wrong. So I knew already that flesh ream is more important than slow. ^^ b:chuckle

    Well.... you COULD replace pounce. Seems a bad option though.

    venos don't have many stuns. and if you can get an additional stun from your pet, you want to keep it.

    Nix doesn't come with flesh ream. it comes with pounce, blessing and claw. and the additional skill slot is usually filled with flesh ream.

    err me am sure slow of any kind generally sucks in PvP what with teh genies and all

    also flying pretty much ignores slow effects.

    but slow does work decently on barbarians and that be about it...
    BMs have sprints which pretty much gets rid of slows.
    Archers, wizards, psychics, clerics, and venomancers have range. (archers & venos have stuns as well so using slow to escape be kind of hard. and wizards have distance shrink.)
    assassins have sprint + invisiblity + teleports (err a bit overpowered right there lol)

    and all class can holy path away. (slow doesn't affect holy path...either that or 40% slow from gush must suck lol....o wait it does suck. (>.<) only the 80% of glacial snare be noticeable...and they still run @ max speed with holy path on.)


    (um stuns and seals be waaay better)
