Talk:Smack

skill name?

Is stampede a name that a player created for this attack? Looking at the skills named by devcat, Cromm has a skill called DragonDashAttack, but it seems like the Giant Crocodile has this attack too. Also, I believe Stampede usually means a group of animals or humans rushing together so a single monster can't stampede. (and the thought of a crocodile stampeding sounds a little weird to me) I have not faced theses bosses so I don't know exactly what the skill is so ignore this if I'm wrong.

Skill Name Cont'd

Checking the Dragon page, I noticed that users have included a "Rush" skill in with the skill sets (Which the ostriches have, but the ostriches don't do damage [Click on the name]). Using my own imagination, I think it looks more like an "Assault". So now, including "Dragon Dash Attack", we have three possible names. If noone has any objections, I'd like to make a page with the name that devCAT originally chose for the dragons. Since mods and such are on here pretty much all the time, I'd make this page around 10:00am EST (7:00am EST, WhoKnowsWhatTime UCT). This "Stampede" page would of course be redirected. --Zephyre6:16, 5 March 2009 (EST)

If it damages EVERYTHING in its walking path, wouldn't that be DDA?

I'm not so sure because it can move and turn around whenever it feels like. Unlike all the other dragon's dashes.

Where's Kevin? He needs to look at this.

It's walking Stomps D:

Lets just look at the stuff first before actually claiming what it is.

Black Dragon has 4 skills: BlackDragonFear, HolyPilgrimage, BlackDragonBreath, and StampFromHell.

StampFromHell = Stampede or Stomp?

What the heck is Fear and Holy Pilgrimage?

Stamp from hell would be the Mana Shield bypassing stomp. Black Dragon Fear would be the Roar...I think breath speaks for itself. What thell is holy Pilgrimage?

Fear is probably that scream that lowers everyone's attack. Holy pilgrimage is probably the walking. Stamp from hell is probably the big stomp.

I wanna know, does it actually turn while walking?

Yes. It will turn, and it will stomp down whatever is in front of it. It is stupidly annoying e-e

Does it actually turn right after taking a step and/or abruptly stop right after? If it walks a few feet without turning, then its probably DDA, and it might be using it in rapid succession.

Its big fat sprite size and whatever hitbox size might be an illusion to cover up DDA.

after it steps, it may turn, MIDSTEP, and hit the rather unfortunate people in that general area.

Maybe... Holy Pilgrimage is its healing skill?

If it uses both names, then shouldn't we call the page "Dragon Dash Attack/Stampede"?

If anything, a \ not a /

What's the difference? o-o

/ = Subpage

I'll wait for more inputs before making the move.

Keep the page as one name. From what I've seen, it looks like dragon dash attack. Just have stampede redirect to this page and have a bolded note saying that the two skills are one and the same.

Its called "Smack" in the Shamala storyline, should we rename it to that?

But doesn't "Smack" use a separate skill entry?

It's been awhile since i encountered a dragon/stampede user, so i can't remember if they either always charge in the direction they're facing, or can they instantly snap to any character and charge in that direction?

They will charge in any direction, typically in the direction of the attacker that would trigger it. I think Windmill will almost always force trigger Dragon Charge. This may be because of the aggro change, or the nature of the ai in itself. I've seen it charge behind itself, rather than where it is facing.

The latter.

I was so pissed when I tried attacking the Dragon from the rear, it turned around and ran over me.
