Hunger: is it confimed uninterruptable?

because if so, i can see the benefit of charging maul, then using hunger to stun lock.

anyone?

 

[mepersoner]

Yes.

This is the first useful post I've made in like a week, I feel accomplished.

It should be interruptible actually. Out of all the Druid skills only Werewolf and Werebear should be uninterruptible. It was the same in 1.09.

I hope that you're confusing Werewolf and Werebear with Fury and Maul. If not, is should be pretty fun to be able to shift shape without being interrupted.

 

[RTB]

Nope. That's really what it says in skills.txt. I'm confused too, because it was not a comment column in 1.09.

 

[electricblue]

according to skills.txt, werewolf and werebear are the only skills that are uninterruptible. but I remember rabies and hunger being also uninterruptible from gaming experience

Rabies is not uninterruptible from my experience, it's just very fast so it seems like its not being interrupted.

Easy way to test this is with a smiter. If while you attack and he smites, you stay there in one spot and die real fast, its uninterruptible (why smiters kill zealers so quickly). If you get kb'd, its interruptible.

Rabies is not uninterruptable, but it's weird with block.

Hunger is uninterruptable. We tested it back in the day with a no IAS spear on a bear. It was like 16FPA and no matter how much damage we took, still would finish the hunger attack.

I think there was something weird with blocking though as well. Been awhile.

How well does the life steel work in pvp?

well, considering that my hybrid has eliminated my ability to actually test a full fledged maul/hunger build right now, I may have to make one.

I love the benefit of being able to switch between fury and maul at will though. Maul eats berzerk barbs, smiters (considering that you outrange them), amazons (Stun/dodge lock is so funny), and fury works best vs paladins and other fury druids and concentrate barbs. Havent tested vs kick yet though.

anyhow, with a single point into hunger i can put on my 09 rings and have like 200% leech, and I'll report back on whether or not this works at all in pvp in nightmare difficulty. if it does, I'm making a maul hunger bear.

if it does, I'm making a maul hunger bear.

exactly my thoughts

I don't mean to distract, but why aint that in the strat. guides? Bite with rabies and instead of running (laughing), get 4 fps weapon and chow down to lock?

 

[Weltkriegpally]

nice thing is, on a bear, any 5 fpa weapon is ALSO a 4 fpa hunger weapon. in other words, griz caddy is perfect for the job. Also helps your damage output tremendously.

Hunger is pathetically weak damage-wise on a wolf.

 

[uglybeast]

mepersoner, i was talking about just blocklocking. Forcing the opponent to stay put while rabies does the damage to prevent the prey to run into town or getting another shot in. Besides, a few bites pvm shoots life up in pvm

 

[jumbo_SHRIMP]

hunger isnt uniteruptable, you go into block mode, which is wicked slow, so if you are using a 2 handed weapon, you wont get interrupted, if you use a shield, you will get interrupted 75% of the time...when you use 2 hands you wont get stopped...i think this was trying to make people get like high damage 2 handers(eth 3 socket tomb reaver etc) and getting like 10-15k damage and then using an uniterruptable stunning(from maul) attack...
