Paralyze enchantment OP?

Post » Mon Jun 24, 2013 9:53 pm

I have an ebony sword with a two second paralyze enchantment. I got the enchantment from a glass axe that I disenchanted. With the exception of dragons, who always resist the paralyze, there is literally no opponent who stands a chance. As soon as the first paralyze hits, the opponent will never be able to get up because it keeps getting re-paralyzed while I hit it on the ground. Even giants don't stand a chance.

Question is: should I feel bad for using this weapon?

It's handy if you're taking on a large group of opponents who are attacking you all at once.

It's more of a life saver to me. I only give it 1 second.

Yes paralyze is extremely powerful. The only character I use it on is my mage because if more than one opponent gets in melee range of me Ill die lol.

Yeah, I've thought about only using it in desperate situations. I just don't have another good sword to use in the mean time

My Ranger has a steel dagger he named Stinger that has the 2 sec. paralyze enchant. It is mainly used when going against multiple opponents. I'll equip it to my left had, get a few attacks with it in to hopefully take out one or two baddies, then sheath it again so I can focus my epic silver sword on those that remain standing.

I think the paralyze enchantment needs fixed. The best way, imo, would be to make the enchantment have an activation percent. For example, someone with 40 in enchanting could give it a 20% chance or something like that.

It works that way now. The paralyse effect from an enchantment has a 26% chance to trigger. It doesn't happen 100% of the time.

No lol I'm just trying to generate discussion about the paralyze enchantment and whether people think it's OP.
