Report #1509
Skillset: Dreamweaving Skill: Jack
 Org: Blacktalon Status: Rejected Jul 2016
Furies' Decision:
There is a dreamweaving overhaul coming up, we will wait for that.
Problem: The new tweaks to Jack have been upped to 12 seconds delayed hit, which
is stopped by the target moving, hitting with violet/kether and by having
insomnia. At this point, this makes it difficult for a dreamweaver to catch any
sort of semi-prepared adventurer who simply has insomnia kept up, especially as
insomnia is a low level skill.
Solution #1: Remove delay on Jack, add short delay if eye sigil present

Solution 1 supported. Perhaps also consider adding the functionality to THROW
EYE SIGIL AT GROUND to also interrupt dreamjacking/slipping that is on-going in
the room - basically room-wide kether/violet without the damage.

I do not understand this report. Insomnia does not (/will not) interact with
dreamjacking at all. Nor will it be stopped by a target moving (short distances,
unless some really dramatic silent changes have taken place pre-dreamweaving
rework. The point of the Jack changes was to create a compromise between
concensus envoy/forum opinion (remove ganking to Nirvana) and the expressed
administrative position (we want ganking to Nirvana for enforced 1v1 fights).
With this solution, there would be no time to throw down an eye sigil if one did
not exist in the room.

So to be clear: No support as presented. The point is for it to be difficult for
a dreamweaver to catch even a mildly prepared person who is just minding their
own business. Lerad's option to throw an eye sigil instead of kethering is
interesting, as long as it takes at least one more hit than using kether or
something.

I don't support this either. I would support an eye-sigil acting as
violet/kether, not half the strength, but full strength. That removes people
from having to learn violet/kether to stop dreamjack.

Would also support the Lerad-solution.

Strange, when testing with Ixchilgal it seemed to be stopped by Insomnia. I
don't mind changing the report, it was something I wrote up quickly during some
testing and don't mind changing.

That said, I do prefer Lerad's idea

I thought the next big Dreamweaving update wasn't in yet. If it isn't, I'd wait
for that, else, ignore me.

Correct, it's not in yet.
