Talk:Heavy Stander

I think we should add the reduced probablity of Heavy Stander activating on the first hit. Fruitrecruit

I think we should add the fact that even if heavy stander doesn't activate, the damage is still reduced --Doomsday 17:26, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

One of the monsters in the new dungeon (from the Memento update) has Heavy Stander at rank B, but was giving the level 2 messages when hit in-game. I redumped the skill data for this one (23005) and found it to be slightly different from what the wiki had so I updated the table. With this, the table matches the client data and what's experienced in-game when fighting the red Form of Nightmare.

I have no idea why... But occassionally, my character will flash a bright orange and a loud ping noise will be heard (similar to attacking mobs with a magic attack while they have Mana Shield or Natural shield, or even like Wolfmen in Fiodh Dungeon). This happens fairly often, normally while I have a shield equipped and I'm being attacked by melee strikes. My shield mastery is Rank 8, and I also have a Rank B or A Heavy Armor Mastery. My Defense is rank 7. I am then assuming that I am flashing orange due to a weaker version of Heavy Stander on my character, without having the skill. Is this a correct assumption, or is it a different reason?

What armor are you wearing?

Take a look at Auto Defense (specifically Obtaining Auto Defense). It's probably your masteries triggering it.

I heard from mabimods that there is a title called "the Heavy Stander Master" in G14S4...

Will the skill itself become player-based? That sounds overpowered...

Seeing that everything related to Shield Mastery is followed up by "Heavy Stander Mastery", I assume that it's a horribly bad translation of "Dual Weapon Mastery", which doesn't appear to have a related mastery title within title.english.txt.
