Worst idea ever.

Actually, why are there two types of Petrify?

The player version is just basically a "Earth-based" Sleep.

The mob version is just basically a "Earth-based" Terror.

Have one or the other, not both.

I'd agree with this if having the "Earth-based" Terror wouldn't be so damn overpowering on the player's side.

Um... petrify is hardly certain death. That's all I have to say on this.

Sometimes you can go on an evasion streak and still not die. Use to solo the Tier 2 VNM in abyssea attowah, likes to use brakega. However often I wouldn't even die when it went off, since it would just miss me till it wore off.

Debating whether I should put Hordecore on block list or not. Sad to say that all his whiny demands for SE to "fix" every little thing he sees as an inconvenience are really annoying me. And if you don't know what I'm talking about then just do a search on all topics started by him.

Never seen the T2 in Attohwa cast Breakga, only single target Break.

So sad too bad. Get a healer type NPC and at high enough level he/she might Stona you if he/she doesn't run out of MP after casting Pro and Shell IV, Haste, Bio II, Paralyze, Slow, Blink and Stoneskin. :)

Seriously (going to sound like a n00b), I never knew you could avoid Petrify by turning around. Makes sense, thanks =]

A while ago, I was fighting a Mist Lizard and got petrified and then got chained by another Lizard and then aggro'd by a gob. Not a fun time.

They screwed up bind a long time ago as well. I used to have fun with that on rdm and blm. *get hate* > *bind the mob in place* > *let the melee's beat the hell out of it till it's off you* Now petri and bind are cookie cutter versions of each other with the first lasting longer than the second.

Kinda curious did hordecore get banned for a while or something? It's been a while since he's spammed his two random thoughts for the day.
