I have to say I think you're exaggerating a wee bit there. No, I don't feel like unvagueifying that comment. Yes, magic can go a long way towards bridging the rager-nonrager gap -- and I'm sure most of the "better" players, the deathfull duckies, if you will, could make an uncaballed warrior and do pretty damn well against most rager warriors even w/out backup. But read on:
> It your willing to take them on you can do it with ease. Also skills do mean alot.
They do, but the RBW can have those same skills. Any matchup can be won easily if you get to assume your opponent is a dumbass.
> I beat a berserk thirsting in a dual.
I'm sure we all know that a duel (no a) and normal PK situations are not necessarily the same thing.
I, for one, would be curious to hear who this uncaballed warrior is who goes around chewing up RBW's (I coined an acronym today. go me!) and spitting them out like so much sugarless gum. I'm not saying it can't be done -- on the contrary, I'm sure it could be done -- I just can't say I've ever seen someone make much of a career of it.
> And Altho Im impressed that A Immortal replied, I think Giddion aimed the replying to the suggestions he made. About the int and wis and centurions.
He probably did mean that, but I responded to what I felt like I had decent points to share about at the time.
