> A conjurer who spams lash is like a gnome warrior who spams bash. (Mmm... rhyme...)
Good rhyme, granted, but as for its validity, who knows.
> Sure, sometimes it'll work, and out of those times that it works, it'll sometimes have the effect you want it to, but most of the time all you're doing is lagging yourself and giving your foe free rounds when there are better things you could be doing.
I agree, most of the time
My only point is that lash is not useless, and I've seen a lot of posts stating that.
> And Quinthen, several people together spamming lash in a group is a very different story from one mage doing so.
Well, true, but what opened my eyes, reading that log, is seeing myself hit about 6 lashes in a row... I thought lash sucked myself until I saw that. It does have its uses, that's all.
A group of gnome warriors spamming bash could probably kill someone, but that doesn't mean spamming bash is a good tactic for a gnome warrior in general.
Now, why does everyone have to take everything so damn personally? I'm not attacking you, I know damn well who you are, and I know you know much more about these things in general than I do. Why do I bother posting? Just trying to throw my two cents in, and ya know, most of the time, they're a pretty good and valid two cents. If I'm wrong, I suck it up, I don't take a snide tone and try to reverse things. All I know is, I've lashed with 4 classes, and I've found it useful for all four, in certain situations. I'm not saying it's the ultimate weapon, and makes deathblow look like kick, gee whiz. Sorry to vent, I needed a good rant. I mainly post to try and add something to the forum, there's a ton of newer folks out there who don't know what lash is, and, when they hear a voice of authority like you say it sucks, well, they probably listen, and in that case they shouldn't. Oh, and by the way, I miss Peroleth. He was one bad ass mofo. Damn, I'm in a wierd mood.
