> > Ahh, Challen, add up how many people i killed before you started mudding, it will be more than how many people you have killed in total. > Probably true. I've also never played a level-sitting PKer. I'm sure I could've racked up the kills that way too, since I can't remember the last time a warrior I played died before 30. > > You think your elite, but lets look at some of your chars. Challen had force duel, gee i wonder if that makes your character 3 times more powerful. Your rager leader, once again more bonus powers, not to mention a extremely light leader weapons. Invoker that got 50:1 whoopie do, 200:20 would be better. War Master that just ganged people. > Sure, Challen would've sucked without force duel. And I'm sure your first character over 40 was death on wheels. Come on. > My War Master didn't just gang people. I hate ganging, even when the RP calls for it. Did I run around with Istendil some? Sure, that was more fun and I was hoping to learn a few things. But almost all the times I died as Shaitar were because I was off hunting solo. > Eh, my invoker wouldn't kill goodies and he wouldn't kill Magic people and Masters. And I was uncaballed so I never partook in the cabal raid scene where most kills happen at hero. Uh, I also immed with well over a hundred hours left in my life, after spending a long, long time mastering all my spells on my own. That sorta cuts down on the hunting time, no? > > You constantly flock to overpowered characters and then take hardly any risks. > Right, as opposed to master necros with perm fly, air majors, gnome Master invokers, and Sylvan bards? Yes, those are some of the weakest combos I can think of. > >Your rager leader would quit out to avoid pk all the time. He would remained decked out with eq while the other ragers would be left to die to poor numbers. > Honestly, you don't know shit if you say I quit out to avoid PK. Dhaevor had that 200-20 record you said would be so cool. I didn't get the 20 by quitting to avoid PK. I did so many risky things while wearing full suits of limited/unique eq (I got and lost the ice-cold scimitar 7 times in my life, about a half dozen pair of blademaster's, the strange bracers, unique stuff from Aran'Gird, more wides and darkened than I can count, and so on) that I don't know what you're talking about. If it seems like I was rarely on alone, it's because people tended to log on after I did. Honestly, ask some of the Masters and Imperials during that time. > > Elite is not about having a trophy. Empire Conjurer with all the trimmings to increase mana and regeneration. Elite is about logging on and making the world tremble. > 1) I remember when you asked me for tips on an evil Empire conjurer, and then proceeded to die repeatedly and delete. And if a human Empire conjurer who uses devils more than archons is such an easy overpowered combo, why hasn't it been done more? > 2) Yes, elite is somewhat about making people fear you. None of your chars ever did that for me. Listen, obviously you've got skills. I'm just saying that given that you've played this game like twice as long as I have, I think you should have more than you do. *shrug* > Again, in closing, Challen was something like 200-30, Shaitar 120-10, Athrakagar 150-10, Aurien 50-1, Dhaevor 200-20 or so (probably a bit less than 200), and my conjurers died a total of twice between them all, while killing well over a hundred combined, one of the two deaths being to a massive gang shortly after picking up a ter'angreal. I dunno, I guess I figured that overall ratio wasn't so awful. My warriors average about a 10:1 ratio, and none of my mages have never died more than twice. *shrug* > Now, to everyone other than Arolin: yes, I know I sound like an arrogant prick bragging about my PK skill. I know I'm not as good as some people think I am. I can think of two or three current players I'd say pretty unequivocally are better than me, as well as a couple of former players. But I do think I'm better than Arolin. :P
