and a sample size of 2 or 3 logs is enough to declare something op?

Rng fucks you sometimes. It sucks. I don't buy that a couple logs are enough to condemn any spell/skill/edge/legacy. These logs show me a huge matchup problem. The dagger spec is clearly outmatched by the sword spec. Sometimes there are certain characters that are gonna make yours look like shit because the matchup is just terrible.

I recently went through this with trekberg. He's a really strong character, but my conjurer was his worst matchup so things didn't end up well for him. That's how it is sometimes. However, it doesn't mean anything is broken.

If the dagger spec maybe changes a few tactics (possibly changing to his other weapon spec because dagger clearly isn't working) then maybe he can pull out a win. Or maybe he is going to have to fight behind the destructor a few fights so he can get a kill and strip some of hose shinies. Either way, I still contend that you shouldn't feel like you're entitled to a victory in every fight. Sometimes you're just plain and simple outmatched, and that's ok because there are ways of still killing your foe. You just have to think outside the box, and find a way to even things up a bit...

This is why Sam says he would pick parry anything over a legacy

I guess my only real question is why would you flee to hurl

Raman 217 January 09, 2015 02:24PM

Because if you flee you can hurl twice in two rounds instead of twice in three rounds. n/t

jalim 165 January 09, 2015 02:26PM

Or, to put it in non-l33t speak, hurl is 1-round if you open with it, 2-rounds if you do it in combat. NT

A duergar rager complaining about a non-mage being OP. Something is so wrong there...

K-B 238 January 09, 2015 12:58PM

Don't think Serrkal is a duergar (n/t)

TJHuron 173 January 09, 2015 04:34PM

My bad. Thought it was Magner for some reason. My other points still stand. nt

K-B 169 January 09, 2015 07:40PM

What point is that? Imms have made numerous claims that edges don't play a major role in pk. Someone did the math below and parrying 20% of non passive attacks is huge difference gained from earning imm exp (n/t)

kanye 176 January 09, 2015 08:34PM

Lmao. Yeah, you can't take parry anything without imm exp. Herp Derp Derp (n/t)

Artificial 170 January 09, 2015 09:43PM

You don't read good do you? I said, parrying 20% of attacks is a huge boon for simply having earned imm exp. (n/t)

kanye 181 January 10, 2015 09:48AM

Except you don't need imm exp to get the edge so you're adding your retarded bias to your comment when it isnt warranted. (n/t)

Artificial 164 January 10, 2015 09:58AM

Your average player isn't going to get enough points with the current system to take this edge. Furthering the have/have-not divide. God forbid I said imm exp instead of general edge points. (n/t)

kanye 175 January 10, 2015 10:10AM

LOL. Really, I just laughed out loud.

Artificial 189 January 10, 2015 10:13AM

Pretty much it just makes it impossible for low investment characters to get edges. n/t

jalim 167 January 10, 2015 10:19AM

Is that bad?

K-B 189 January 09, 2015 09:25PM

I think it's the player complaining.

Sweet, I was that Falcon (n/t)

kanye 167 January 09, 2015 10:27AM

haste is a component. sword + haste = great edge. just flee and wait the tick out. nt

The Forsaken 167 January 09, 2015 08:28AM

I am guessing it shines on sword specs

zannon 241 January 09, 2015 06:30AM

It parried 2 out of 4 in this fight...

Death_Claw 299 January 09, 2015 07:58AM

I see 4 of 6 in these two logs. Compare that with the logs Altariel himself posted down below. Way above 5% (n/t)

kanye 162 January 09, 2015 08:18AM

Also: level difference (n/t)

starbright 174 January 09, 2015 06:59AM

Can't say I disagree with Sam. It really shines on specs with high parry rates. (n/t)

kanye 162 January 09, 2015 07:07AM

I had a character who landed 22 skills out of 98 on Ekaerok. nt

crafteddeception 189 January 09, 2015 07:42AM

In the two retreival logs below parry anything blocked just under 23% of the attacks

TJHuron 185 January 09, 2015 08:17AM

Lies! Don't bring your math here. Nepenthe told us it's not as high as everyone thinks. (n/t)
