You score a CRITICAL HIT!
Your dread gythka starts to hum and ooze icky goo from its blade.
With a mighty slash, you throw the goo towards the first officer, hitting
his in the chest. The goo starts to move, and covers his entire body
Before your eyes, the green goo dries and hardens, encasing
the first officer in a thick shell.
You send a small amount of caustic goo flying from your dread gythka,
hitting the first officer squarely in the chest.

thats 1 mud hour, or 1 minute for a para proc. The second one is only 22 seconds. Look i know gythka is an uber weapon and all, but the reason its uber is because it proc's para really Also u gotta remember that when u have a gythka every time u get a crit it procs, and the proc either slows the mob or does nothing, but never does any damage so u lose all your crits. When thrym paralyzes me, im out for 8 minutes...ok he's a god, fine. But when a friggin vine in hulburg paralyzes me im still out for 4... 1 minute paralysis proc is not much help and 22 seconds proc like giving the mob a free switch opponents. I understand that 4 minute para on a mob is almost like a death proc, but if u look above even when i double parad it it still barely lasted 1 minute. I feel that this diminishes the usefulness of this sword greatly. Even if you doubled the para time to 2 minutes which is still only half what paras from mobs to PC's last would make this proc a real useful one, rather than a 1 minute paralysis that is a nice little extra but doesn't really help much when it comes down to it, and thats even on a double proc. 22 seconds doesn't really do anything at all now does it? I mean when ambran procs heal and stone, and deathknell procs sick damage and heal, and twilight procs berserk, a paralysis proc doesn't seem so insane in comparison, particularly because it is so rare compared to the procs on those other weapons. Ambran stone lasts a hell of a lot longer than 22 seconds at any rate. Gythka paralysis needs to have some kind of substantial duration if it is going to be an effective proc instead of just a pretty green spam and a lagless switch opponents for a mob.

So wield a twilight then!

I think gythka is fine...

[kiryan]

you proc 4 times in one fight stick 2 paras and you complain?

last time i checked slow, para, and poison were not warrior skills... your lucky you can do them at all.

i do agree a little, I would prefer to see a more significant para if the proc rate was reduced by probably at least half.

------------------

where ara you my rittle raabuuri

[Glorishan]

I disagree completely when you say that a one minute proc or 22 second is insignificant. That's often times enough time to completely kill a mob when in a group. A entire group wailing on a para'd mob is getting a TON of benefit in those 22 seconds or one minute.

[Tilandal]

Para is a rogues cue to go to town. Spamming backstab for 22 seconds is some major damage.

------------------

[Teyaha]

that's about half the duration of a high level enchanter para.

it had better NOT be the same duration as an enchanters.

[Sylvos]

Para length on gythka is more than enough. Touk 'n I cleared roots in a single pop almost completely due to him landing para on a lot of the bigger roots. It rocked.

[thanuk]

bah nevermind
someone had told me that the proc used to be a lot longer and had been downgraded recently...ive since been told that the proc has been the same length the entire time, since im stupid and never checked, i apparently didnt know what i was talking about when i wrote this so ignore it
Nukie was just checkin the specs on the rotary gurders...he's retarded
