Report #1215
Skillset: Axelord Skill: Kneecap
 Org: Sentinels Status: Completed Jul 2013
Furies' Decision:
Solution 1.
Problem: Sprawling your target is a staple feature of warrior combat. Axelords
have two avenues for sprawling, KnockDown and Kneecap. While KnockDown is a
simple sprawl, sprawling through Kneecap requires landing the cracked kneecap
affliction on an already kneecap'd leg, which then breaks the leg and sprawls
the target. Between pre-applying regeneration and allheale/passive curing of a
cracked kneecap, landing a double kneecap to sprawl your target is not all that
reliable, but on the occasions that it does work, while there are unique lines
for the target, there is no indication that it is anything more a single cracked
kneecap for the axelord.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Add a ', sending him sprawling.' (or similar) to the
 1st person cracked kneecap line, when it's on an
 already kneecap'd leg. ie. You strike his left
 kneecap, slicing through the bone and causing the leg
 to collapse, sending him sprawling.'
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #2: Add similar sprawl visibility on monk sources of
 double CrackedKneecap: Tahtetso Rakti'ini mod,
 Ninjakari Ninughi mod, Shofangi Boganj.

Just as a note, cracked kneecap does not prevent standing, so a quick apply
mending on a double kneecap sprawl has you ready to stand again.

Solution 1 supported. Making it easier to track things like this would make
combat easier for many classes.

Furthermore, this should be applied to all ways of afflicting with
crackedkneecap.

Support, good idea

Go for it.

Solution #2 added with the monk sources of cracked kneecap. If I missed one, let
me know.

Sounds good, although I hope the general warrior line the target sees doesn't
change. Parsing warrior lines is already one of the more painful parts of a
system to code and having two lines for the same affliction (with or without
that addendum) could be annoying. Perhaps a separate line to indicate the sprawl
happened like the target sees?
---[Ushaara on 7/7 @ 12:55 writes]:
How the target sees it is fine I think, and as you described. They see the
regular kneecap line, with an extra following 'Your cracked left kneecap
shatters, sending a fracture spiralling up your leg.' line, along with broken
leg and sprawl affmessages if they are being used.
