You see that little word in there..."majority"

March 11, 2010 12:40PM
Yeah, that means the -majority- of my post was in regards to distance. Specifically, the impact that skill percentage in distance has.

I stand by my statement. A svirf with 100% distance gets more use out of distance than a fire giant with distance at 75%. If both had 100%, you would see more distance as a fire giant. But ultimately, that doesn't mean that a fire giant tanks better than the svirf overall (which is useless information to the credibility of the actual post, and I'm OK with that, since it isn't even pertinent information to my point).

I made this statement because in the log, the person using the polearm gets hit what appears to be every round of combat. Obviously, a low percentage of distance is evident. I'm saying that a low percentage in distance will get you horrible results for being able to utilize distance.

It's similar to spin. If you have a low percentage in spin, you will not get much use out of it.

Thus, I have deduced that distance is based off of skill percentage more than any othe factor.

Distance is purely skill based...

_Magus_ 389 March 09, 2010 01:16PM

it is about worthless without decent size advantage despite skill nt

Zheeser 221 March 11, 2010 11:15AM

Agree to disagree. ~

No. n/t

jalim 196 March 09, 2010 05:44PM

Hardly 'purely' skill based. Its mainly size based. Noticeably. (n/t)

BattleCharmed 226 March 09, 2010 02:25PM

Has anyone crunched the effect of 'target weapon size' and distance? NT

Quixotic 213 March 10, 2010 06:55AM

Where's Hastur when you need him? (n/t)

PaulO 221 March 10, 2010 10:32AM

I do miss him, valid with his info and not one stray away from doing some homework. ingame or on paper nt

Krilcov 246 March 10, 2010 01:44PM

That's why I edited my post. Apparently you didn't take the time to read it?

_Magus_ 233 March 09, 2010 06:01PM

Which is wrong. My fire Pole Spec had good Distancing ability at 80% (n/t)

BattleCharmed 259 March 10, 2010 02:46AM

I think you're lying. Doesn't match my experience. ~

_Magus_ 234 March 10, 2010 07:52AM

Pro. n/t

jalim 217 March 10, 2010 11:50AM

Why would I lie?

BattleCharmed 313 March 10, 2010 11:39AM

If I hadn't already played a successful gnome and svirf polearm specialist, I might actually believe your speculation. ~

_Magus_ 212 March 10, 2010 12:16PM

Just cause you suck at pk doesn't mean your statement is true

Thom 288 March 12, 2010 10:48AM

Yeah, you're right...I suck at PK. ~

_Magus_ 185 March 13, 2010 08:18AM

Having played a Svirf and Fire pole spec. I feel my speculation is correct. (n/t)

BattleCharmed 207 March 10, 2010 12:56PM

Svirf distance 100% > Fire Giant distance 75%

_Magus_ 224 March 10, 2010 03:10PM

We were talking about Distance, not defensive abilities. (n/t)

BattleCharmed 219 March 11, 2010 12:08PM

The majority of my post is about distance. Nice reading comprehension by the way. ~

_Magus_ 229 March 11, 2010 12:13PM

Didn't you bring up defensive capabilities in the last post? Fail.com n/t

jmc 217 March 11, 2010 12:27PM

You see that little word in there..."majority"

_Magus_ 260 March 11, 2010 12:40PM

Hard to definitely state that I think

jmc 293 March 11, 2010 02:31PM

I feel you both are talking about poles too much. (n/t)

Scrimbul 198 March 10, 2010 01:46PM

One can NEVER talk about poles enough ;) n/t

Stevers 200 March 10, 2010 01:48PM

Did you have shadows? Was it pre-edge?

Krilcov 192 March 09, 2010 04:53PM

Size differential I thought...ie reduced gnome should rock enlarged giant (n/t)

shane 338 March 09, 2010 05:01PM

Its not just the size differential. Its the strength value as well. (n/t)

BattleCharmed 242 March 10, 2010 11:40AM

It isn't size differential at all. Bigger = better, period. A reduced svirf will always suck at distance. Yes, even when fighting an enlarged Stay Puft marshmallow man. nt

Java 270 March 11, 2010 03:09AM

I hate when people just flat out lie about stuff. nt

Java 208 March 10, 2010 03:43AM

Incorrect, bigger distances better against smaller foes. n/t
