[QUOTE="RigaMortus, post: 2034714, member: 1077"] I'm sorry, but that is just stupid. If I am on the ethereal plane, and I KNOW that I won't be able to damage my opponent from it, why in the hell would I even attempt it? I wouldn't... I would wait until I Blink back to the Material Plane, line up my shot as quick as possible (preferably towards the jugular or some other vital area), then swing, and hope my swing lands before I Blink back to the Ethereal Plane. You seem to be breaking Blink down into semi-rounds, where you can "time" your attack. You don't Blink once every second, so you can't "ready" your strike as you suggest. The best you can do, as I described above, is line up your attack to the opponent's vitals and swing as quick as possible hoping you strike quick enough to not Blink back. That is where the 20% miss chance comes in... And it should be assumed you are always doing this. As it is assumed you are always bobbing and weaving during combat. Not just standing there frozen in time until the next 6 seconds come up... [/QUOTE]
