Talk:Rigor Mortis

This is now ten times better then Expose Defenses. Even if it's not in a Melee-class line, Expose is less powerful because it only affects your own attacks. Please balance these. >.< RitualDoll 01:15, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

What are you talking about? The point of Expose Defenses is that it's on Assassin Skills,so they don't need being necromancer secondary. Gilkong 19:48, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

It's just unwieldy, and Rigor Mortis is a lot more flexible since it has the change to half it's recharge with the right equipment. It'd rather see this go back to 10 1 10 and only affect 1..3 attacks (to avoid the off->dual->off->dual A-Net seems to hate so much). I'm just tired of Izzy changing recharges and +damage to try to change the meta...When was the last time unused Assassin skills were made better? Impale and Augury are the last things that come to mind... RitualDoll 02:36, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Why should it matter if this is better then a skill on a different class?... Assassins are meant to spike enemies not curse them. This skill SHOULD be better then expose Def in EVERY way and sins should be happy thier capable of doing a skill similar to this 15:50, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Isn't Rigor Mortis an actual condition that makes dead bodies stiff and not... bendy? 65.6.100.232 05:26, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

It makes the muscles solidifies around 18 hours after death, same time as malgor mortis causes the blood to freeze or something. --Cursed Angel 05:28, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

The solidification of muscles depends on the temperature, iirc. I was watching this forensic thing with my dad a few years ago, and the killer left the corpse in a room with the AC on full blast while the people were on vacation so the body would undergo rigor mortis later than it should, and he wouldn't be suspected of the murder.

I agree defiantly that this skill should be better than expose defenses in every possible way because assassins were never design to cast multiple hexes on a target foe and nor have will they ever due to their attack skills and main attribute.Highway Man 02:58, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

I prefer to pay 10 energy on this than to pay the same amount on Warrior's Cunning. 10 seconds at like 12 of Strentgh with 60 secs. of recharge? With 2 pts on curses, it's the same...drawback? It's a hex, but you can keep casting contantly unlike Warrior's Cunning.--ShadowFog 20:21, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Actually if you go as warrior in RA, monks use block skills (Guardian is one of the most popular), and you can use this hex spell so you can attack the monk constantly... right ? Wrong, this is a hex, which is no problem for a monk (they remove it). So I prefer the good old Warrior's Cunning. Tiberium 12:39, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

Agreed, Expose Defences and Rigor Mortis sucks, Warrior's Cunning is a must have skill on your PvP warrior's skillbar ! 213.233.92.218 14:02, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

rigor vs cunning

at like r 12 warriors endurance is ~10sec, at r2 this is 10sec.

• first difference u notice is the 40second recharge gap between the two.
• hexes can be removed
• 1sec cast on rigor, not crippling
• rigor means u have to be necro secondary...gee ouch plague touch and they are in same attribute lines lol.

Honestly if its like RA or something then i could do rigor. if its pve then just drop it on your SS necro hero. If you go in a pug then i would just use warriors cunning when ever u can predict what kinda blocking the foes will have. AKA vanqing old ascalon; stupid whiptails using lightning reflexes...oh wild blow lol--96.14.175.191 13:12, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Hero usage?

Anybody know if heroes use this skill properly? This would be especially useful with a hammer build (which I "coincidentally" tend to use a lot) but if it gets used on an elementalist (or not at all even) or something stupid then that would be irritating. I think heroes are reasonably smart about using Defile Defenses (as far as I can tell) but this is a little different. 72.220.21.110 09:14, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
