Effect of the "silence"

Hi, i would like to know is the "silence" as negative status stop you to use not just "spells" but all kind of not gienie-related skills (like aeolian blade fo bm or armageddon for barb)

Thank you

Silence stops you from use any SKILLS (and I believe normal attacks) for the duration.

Freeze/Immobilize stops you from moving for the duration, however, skills and attacks should still be possible.

Stun stops you from doing anything (Skills, Move, Use Pots, etc.) for the duration.

Sleep is similar to stun, except I believe you can use pots, and the effect will either last for the duration of sleep, or until you are hit again.

genie skills are always usable. even when stuned. BM stunlocking you? pop fortify or absolute domain(better choice), you'll get a chance to recover b:victory

I need to reconfirm that. I think I've only had people to use genie in the gap between my stuns. When I was stunned by a fists BM, I spammed Occult Ice but it didn't activate.

You can use Genie Skills even when you're stunned. I use Second Wind all the time when I'm stunned.

I could be mistaken but:

Silence = no use of SKILLS.

Seal = no use of skills or normal attacks but movement is fully possible. Unsure about genie skills.

Stun = no movement, skills, genie skills or auto-attack. Skills will not finish after you are released from stun.

Sleep = no movement, skills or auto-attack. Unsure about genie skills. Skills will finish after sleep wears off. Sleep can be removed if you are attacked [though I cannot remember if the attack has to be physical or not]

Freeze = immobilisation but you are free to use skills and auto-attack if you're in range.

-edit-
Just for confirmation I have never been able to use my genie while stunned. Perhaps maybe certain skills will work and others won't? I'll test this out at some point.

Seal & Silence are synonomous. Both disallow skills & normal attacks.

Freeze also has a synonomous negative status effect called Paralyze. Both disallow movement.

there's only 4 negative effects in this game, i dont see how it's so hard to understand


STUN = effect shows up as a group of cartoon-style stars above your head. you cannot perform ANY ACTIONS PERIOD for the duration of the stun. i dont know if the genie skills are usable during the stun, but i would imagine not


SEAL = effect shows as a "magic circle" under your feet, and is accompanied by a very annoying "farting" sound (credit to my friend for that sound description lol). you cannot perform ANY ACTIONS EXCEPT MOVEMENT for the duration of the seal. i dont know if the genie skills are usable during the seal, but i would imagine not

PARALYZE = effect shows up as gray strands of ectoplasm (think- ghosts) rapidly spinning around your character. you cannot MOVE OR USE ANY TELEPORT/BLINK/LEAP SKILLS for the duration of the paralyze. basically, any skill that would allow you to move from your paralyzed location cant be used to bypass the inability to run/walk. genie skills and attacks/skills are still usable however

SLEEP = effect shows up as a bunch of rainbow-colored Z's around your character. you cannot perform ANY ACTIONS for the duration of the sleep. i dont know about genie skills, but i would imagine not

The reason people get it so mixed up is because Chromatic seal is a sleep, not a seal. Silent seal is a paralyze, also not a seal. Skills like that don't help the understanding of it much b:surrender

well that one's also easy to clarify... the skill effect in the skill description is the negative status being given


sidenote- i'm logging in >_>
<_<

I use wind shield when I'm stunned.

Genie skills that affect you can be used, Genie skills that target another should not work. Absolute Domain works when you're stunned but Occult Ice will not, for example.

I'm not sure if that's set in ice, but if I'm immobilized or stunned and I see an ulti coming, I can AD. That WILL work.

There are certain genie skills that are still usable during status effects like that. I'm quite fond of using Second Wind when Shocktrooper uses his... I think it's Seal, and DoT on me. Never really paid too much attention other than to go "EEK!" and use my genie.

I think shoctrooper uses a sleep + water DoT.
You're also not able to move, and you are not woken up by a DoT tick (as seen in the assasin skil that bleeds+sleeps)

Stun: It basically locks you. You can't move, use skills, auto-attack or drink pots.


Sleep: It's a stun that lasts when you're attacked. Some skills can pass through sleep. For example Mystic's Absorb Soul goes through the sleep and won't awake the target. You won't wake up if you're damaged by an ongoing DoT skill.


Silence: It shuts your mouth. It looks like a blue circle under your toon. You can't use any skills (including auto-attack) but free to move.


Freeze: You can't move. Skills and pots are avaible. If you freeze someone/something, then knockback will not work on the target.


One of them is an another freezing effect that stacks with stun. IIRC Psychic's Spirit Phalax and Wizard's Ice Prison gives this effect. It looks like you're in a chunk of ice. You can't use skills, drink pots or move.


Paralyze

It's like a stun but you can't resist it with an antistun buff. The only classes who can resist it without Genie's Faith skill are Assassin (Tidal) and Psychic (SoT)


ps: I have no idea about in which situations you can use genie skills.

This looks like a NECRO!

Any thread over one month (30 days) old is considered to be a dead thread and you're not supposed to post in them. The person you are replying to probably doesn't care any more or can no longer be found on the forums. The topic itself could be out of date. Next time just make a new thread.
