How? SPELL SHIELD!

I've tested this a couple of times and it works. If you put a Spell Shield on some fighter/mage type of NPC (Solaufein, Haer'Dalis, various PC - Kensai/Mage, ...) you can whack dragons and they cannot Buffet you away!

This is very bad dragon news...

Nice find matey

Wing buffet has been one of the few dragon abilities that can ever mess up my carefully made plans. Usually gives them at least 3 seconds extra life while I have to run up to them to beat them to death again.

So...it grants immunity to the previously-unblockable Wing Buffet, as well as the previously-unblockable Anti-Magic Ray?!? Now we'll have to test it to see its function against psionics such as Detonate and Project Force. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Wing buffet is not a spell though, it's a pysical attack..

But even when a dragon is able to buffet you away it's only a short walk back into the fray.

Leslie · 02-22-2005, 01:54 PM

Yes, that's true. The game engine obviously treats Wing Buffet as some sort of spell which Spell Shield can block.

It is very cheesy to me - actually game engine exploit so I might not use this trick.

(Maybe in one NRL game I will...

)
