I by no means feel that you are an elitist. But seriously..I don't say you have to feed him the answer, but if I ask for some help with something, like this person did about how to make halt work more, and you just come along and say "There is an easy way, but I can't tell you." That isn't helping him at all, since I'm guessing he already damn well knows there is something that makes it work more often since we've all seen people getting their holds and halts off with out too much trouble. The way I look at it, giving someone a 'hint' is actually giving them some sort of useful information. Not just sayig Yes or No. If slowing before halting as 'somewhat disgusted' said works, you could have said something along the lines of "Try usings some of your other spells on the target first and see which one aids in halting" That would be a hint. I have no problem with hints, I don't really have any problem with spoon feeding either. I'll be happy to help when I can, but most of the time you wont see me saying 'Yes, there is a better way to practice camo, or stalk someone, or get your halts off.' And I never said your an asshole, just your post was pretty much uneeded. -TSM
