Constant casting of Power of Darkness

Now, I know some people might not see this as a bug but this is a problem and it has to be fixed.
With skills like Invalidate, monsters in the ladder keep using Power of Darkness even if they already know its effects won't be processed.
This is EXTREMELY annoying in the ladder and monsters just keep using the skill until they die.

With these types of skills, Power of Darkness just needs to be blocked. They should just prevent its use, not allow the monster to keep using it without anything happening.
This is a constant problem and I see my monster having absolutely no use now as I have to change this skill if I want to use it in ladder again.

To those who want to suggest that I should just use other monsters, it's not that simple. These are the monsters I worked hard on the most and have the skills I worked hard to get.

I'm sure an if/else statement, or similar, would easily solve this problem.

With these talents, Power of Darkness should just not be allowed to be used, not be spammed and have the opposing monsters to wait for their deaths.

This has been suggested before but it should be fixed.

agree!

Thats a way to stop pod in ladder
Its the one disadvantage that comes with
Otherwise it would be 'cast pod in ladder and own it'

Get over it

i like the idea, but it is the design !!

otherwise invalidate will be less useful & u don't need to get another monster without PoD...

As I suspected, not everyone read the post the whole way through.

You probably don't use Power of Darkness often that you don't really encounter this problem. But for those who do, it's a big, big problem.
These talents prohibits the use of Power of Darkness - and its effects, or should. Right now, it just allows the use of Power of Darkness again and again. I am fine with it not being casted at all so I at least get to attack. But right now, I really die WITHOUT getting to use a SINGLE offensive attack.

I'm not suggesting remove the talents but just that those who use Power of Darkness don't have a CERTAIN defeat against these monsters.
The skill should just be blocked, not be allowed to be used.

The whole idea is flawed as well. I mean...why use the same skill over and over and over again when you know it doesn't work already?

I don't see the problem.

They cast pod once, very rarely they would cast twice.

I think that's fine, your mob always cast more than once?

mine cast POd 5-6 times Normally a neo invalidate roxx all my 4 vertes.

It is strange how different people observe different things. In my server, pod casts twice before the monster moves on to a new skill. I think that it should cast ONCE and then not again until the monster switches. Having the mobs detect talents and respond before it is used is not the answer either. The AI should cast once and then if something like invalidate or flush negates it, it should not cast it again until the opponents monster gets switched out.

I swear ppl on these forums either don't read before replying or just can't comprehend English

It's shouldn't cast over and over again until the mobs die. Just once and move on.
I take out entire pods teams with one neon.
