Talk:Base Defense

Couldn't you use a skill bar full of max health buffs to survive the initial 999 damage?68.196.141.53 01:25, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Balanced Stance, Prot Spirit, Dolyak Signet..but you accomplish very little. Maybe it's an auto-kill, though.  Calor  - talk 01:45, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

I don't know. I mean, you could be right in front of the base, use Endure Pain (15 Strength) to get 300 extra Health, plus Signet of Stamina (15 Strength) for another 300 extra Health, bringing your maximum well over 1,000. Then use Steady Stance to negate the knockdown and run right through the attack. It should definitely 100% work if your maximum Health is allowed to go over 999. Can someone ask Gaile? Maybe she would know.
 * Should work I guess, unless it's an auto-kill, but then whats the point of the 5 second KD if that happens... What would be fun is if prot spirit worked and you can run in with 55 health for the fun of it, diversion base defense and let ur teammates kill people once they spawn lol.. Thats if prot spirit works tho =P no idea.
 * The point of the 5 second knock down is so that the skill can be cast again. It has a 1/4 cast speed, with a one second of recharge, so you would be hit with 999 damage over and over again before you even had a chance. I also think the skill removes all enchantments, but that needs to be seen...

It ignores armor and can't be reduced in any way, and is completely spammable. I tried using a multiple Life Bond tank attack, but my whole party died withing 3 seconds. Oops. Ojamo 23:55, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Also the base defender is immune to spells and possibly attacks. Ojamo 23:56, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I wonder if a skill such as Balthazar's Pendulum work if one survives the dmg. that would be cool :P --MageMontu 23:16, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Try it--74.61.209.219 23:18, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
 * mmmmm Even though I hate monking in AB, I'll try it on the first opportunity. --MageMontu 23:25, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
 * and i suppose pbaoe will also damage him. Seeing this guy dead would be freaking funny... &mdash;Zerpha[[Image:UserZerpha The Improver sig.png|talk]] The Improver 21:33, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
 * AoE spells targeting enemies standing in front of him do work, but you can't attack him (tried with a longbow) and Balthazar's Pendulum does nothing either. [[Image:User_Klumpeet_Klumpeetsignature.jpg|19px]] Klumpeet  .talk .cont . 11:06, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Removing part of the note where it says something about shadow form reducing damage, because it doesn't. Hasaple 21:51, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Energy...
The skill costs energy, which mens the base defender has a limited amount... What if u use energy degen and stel to drain him completely? u can take notice of his energy dropping to zero with some spells, oh, wait... cant target him... Ehm, in that case u'd need like a ton of mm's unleashing their minions in the killzone.. ... nevermind xD marcus.
 * they are invincible. ~ ZamaneeJinn 16:21, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I remember before they fixed this you could kill him--70.105.35.42 18:42, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

All we need....
Is to put one of these on a few shrines.... --  Wandering   Traveler  07:15, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
 * final showdown, luxon vs kurzick base defender, who will win?92.238.76.95 00:44, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

If I understand correctly, They cannot be targeted with attacks or skills. So how would a base defender use Base Defense(skill) on a base defender?--Justice 21:51, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
 * They don't. They play a game of rock-paper-scissors, then they /roll and after that, they have a staring contest. Paddymew 13:04, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

you can beat it
if you run symbiosis, aura of stability and about 10 other enchantments + signet of stamina fertile season and other health buffs, you can get past him. we did it in one ab where we had 1 tank 2 enchanters and a trapper. after the tank made it past the defender, we recalled and put traps on the res shrine. it was uber lol -- adrin  22:05, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
 * lmao adrin, you're always up to no good ^^ 76.26.10.147 00:42, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
 * try Augury of Death + Shameful Fear/Weakened Knees/Winter's Embrace on a foe running into their base, you should tele in and if your lucky, past the base defender --124.176.241.38 12:05, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

That's also possible with heart of shadow/vipers defense.....but i got stuck in their base82.95.65.117 16:04, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

Nerf?
Shouldn't this be nerfed, like...

Skill. Target foe takes 99999999 damage, and is knocked down for 5 seconds.

Concise description

Skill. Deals 99999999 damage. Causes knock-down (5 seconds).

 * Dont u mean buff?-- Nei l2250 User Neil2250 sig icon5.jpg 19:01, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Should change amount of damage and then have description as 'It's over 9000!' 41.247.250.121

All it should say is Target Foe Dies.

Reversal of Fortune
Would RoF negate this, or does it not stop health loss?  Eive_Windgrace 05:26, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Health loss is neither damage nor life steal (i.e. nothing you can do about it)72.199.119.247 08:04, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Even if it worked, u would still take over 900 damage... 65.29.131.221 02:16, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
