> Defenders powers > why is there double block? > poutlice > field bandages > Bersekers are so much better in a raid compare to defenders > I always wanted to be a defender,
> double block
> if ragers are to fight with honor there is really no point to double block right?
> also, if I was in a raid, bersekers and scouts do well against masters and empire anyways, why do they need double block.
> the only reason I can see double block is used for is ranking only.
> so why give them such a useless skill.
> compare to be berseker and scouts, double block for defenders have to be the most useless of all?
> am I wrong?
> I perfected that, and It still works on 50 percent of the time.
> it almost always fails to cure plague or crimson scourge. It takes me a few tries to cure poison also.
> why is that? herb sucks that bad?
> I remember trying to heal other battle ragers with poison and plague
> then I just gave the gold to heal at the healer when we got to the shrine.
> is poultice skill based or just plain luck?
> they cost waaaay too much mana to use.
> even when I was hero.
> I still had to call resist and truesight and spell bane
> then I bandaged other ragers and myself during a raid and continue to call resist, truesight and spellbane.
> then I pretty much have no more mana left
> can't you lower the cost of mana for field bandages?
> they at least spell bane area spell.
> A defender walks out and gets scourged up the ass.
> blinded.. poisoned and weaken, not to even mention the damage from scourge fireball.
> what is up with that???
> that means, calling true sight to cure blindness, the poutlice then field bandages.
> and then the berserkers come in demanding bandages.
> I dash out again, only to get raped by invokers and more area spells.
> but it seems berserkers get all the glory and all the kills.
> thus they get better armor and defenders sit back and contribute to the berserksers well-being
> while the defenders die left and right because of bandageing everyone else.
> And they themselves have little or no protection.
> scouts have area spell dodging ability and critical hit to do some damage at least.
> Defenders can't do shit.
> they shit there trying to kill someone master either transformed or armored up the ass.
> so every round the defenders do shit damage, while the masters spam area spell that pretty much De-Monlishes you.
> WHY WHY WHY???
