It takes 0 skill?

You've gotta be kidding me. I agree that the whole villager entwine bloodthirst thing is played out, but saying it takes no skill just reeks of bitterness on your part. As in, you've probibly died to it like 10 times in a row and just decided to go hating on everyone who does it. The fact of the matter is that playing a flail spec is not easy. For one, you tank like absolute shit and unless your a villager, fighting pretty much any offense shapeshifter is going to end up in a loss.

Secondly, entwine has been nerfed to only last a couple of hours now, so if you happen to be a class that can heal or perhaps an A/B/S mage then you can easily last that long. Also, if they are fighting you with anyone else then the entwine timer is only one tick, which means it's basically a dirt kick. (If you're smart, there are ways to use that to your advantage.) Also, when someone entwines you, it means they are one weapon down for two rounds, which means if you're using your brain, you can take advantage of this. You can blind them through either dirt kick, blindness, etc; or you can extend the time they will be weaponless by timing your lag skill/spell to make the 2 rounds of no weapons, 4 rounds or more.

So, there you go. Entwine is NOT an I win button. However, if you panic and shit yourself when you see that you're entwined, then it probibly could be, but if you simply calm down and think about your options, you should be fine.. Ideally think about them before the fight begins.

P.S. The whole "It takes absolutely 0 skill" argument is just as played out as village flail specs buddy. EVERYTHING in this game takes some skill. Flyto air/offense shifters: some skill. Sleep sleep sleep Necros: some skill. Fiend first bards: some skill. Rot first shaman: some skill. Every single one of them, and when you make that argument, it looks bad on YOU.

P.S.S. If you think Flail specs are so easy, make one. Hell, make him a RBW. And go fight pretty much any sword/bash/flurry spec. Or krunk. Tell me how it goes. lol

Are all warriors now going for entwine and thirst builds? Lots of flail spec (n/t)

funnyone 189 March 26, 2012 04:54AM

It's the new sword spec

HairyOrangutan 314 March 26, 2012 07:22AM

It takes 0 skill?

K-B 339 March 26, 2012 10:44AM

I agree with this especially with a lot of hth specs whips can be really hard to play and situational. nt (n/t)

xrajck 198 March 26, 2012 09:06PM

Actually, one of Krunk's worst matchups is an entwining RBW... (n/t)

starbright 229 March 26, 2012 12:50PM

Entwine orc = suicide move: orc spamming flee and last stand killing entwiner during one round! nt

zanzarin 222 March 27, 2012 01:36AM

This. (n/t)

ghuljun_thul 147 March 27, 2012 09:10AM

you can only get 3-4 hits a round with it, and your assuming high % in an orc skill (n/t)

Quas 179 March 27, 2012 02:42AM

MISSINFO!nt

zanzarin 184 March 27, 2012 03:58AM

Worst meaning best for Krunk?

ghuljun_thul 313 March 26, 2012 12:54PM

Well there's always the chance of the orc winning through sheer power of permalag/fallback

vortexmagus 348 March 26, 2012 05:51PM

I don't think you can fallback when entwined.

DurNominator(VIP) 200 March 26, 2012 06:20PM

Well you can't entwine when an orc is bashing you.

vortexmagus 262 March 26, 2012 06:28PM

That's why you have dash.

jmc 218 March 26, 2012 06:32PM

Why would you entwine an Orc?

Kez 223 March 27, 2012 02:36AM

Thats not why, I just deleted so I can say. . .

ghuljun_thul 221 March 27, 2012 02:51AM

entwining doesn't seem to affect the entwiners defences from my experience (n/t)

Re: entwining doesn't seem to affect the entwiners defences from my experience

Kez 272 March 27, 2012 02:45AM

because the helpfile says so doesn't make it true

Quas 179 March 27, 2012 05:23AM

Orcs also have dash past 48. (n/t)

RobDarken 207 March 26, 2012 07:35PM

Ok, so as a villager, you dash at the orc and cranial him and he bashes you and you still don't have him entwined

vortexmagus 205 March 26, 2012 07:19PM

Obviously none of you have entwine him. (n/t)

ghuljun_thul 206 March 26, 2012 07:07PM

Improved flee ftw (n/t)

demos 182 March 26, 2012 07:28PM

Having played a lot of Orcs

RobDarken 283 March 26, 2012 02:18PM

Well, I was referring to how easily Lohakahn crunched him in a few logs after entwining Krunk without protections (n/t)

starbright 208 March 26, 2012 02:13PM

How about the other two logs where i'm permalagged to all hell and back? RBW entwiner vs a skurgga+shig-ru is not a good combo. You are smoking crack. If he prepped even a bit, i'd never stand a chance.

Jerrokrar 269 March 26, 2012 03:40PM

It's P.P.S.

legobelt 251 March 26, 2012 12:07PM

Hah. My bad. Wasn't thinking about it at the time. bleh. nt

K-B 170 March 26, 2012 01:28PM

Way to take the bait

HairyOrangutan 267 March 26, 2012 11:05AM

Eww. Take it a little personally, did we?

K-B 249 March 26, 2012 11:07AM

LOL, your first post in this thread was the epitome of 'taking it personally'~ (n/t)

vortexmagus 216 March 26, 2012 12:40PM

You're a fool if you think you can argue with an orangutan.

Matrik 223 March 26, 2012 12:33PM

No, but judging by your original reply, you did

HairyOrangutan 232 March 26, 2012 11:23AM

Yeah, quit reading stuff and start reading into stuff.

MiyagiYojimbo 226 March 26, 2012 06:34PM

It's been that way for a while it seems, but Jerrokrar skews things even more since he always picks it. (n/t)

Coumidin 196 March 26, 2012 05:36AM

I never go whip/flail because generally it kinda sucks for fighting mages

Quas 297 March 26, 2012 06:46AM

This is very true.

The Forsaken(VIP) 316 March 26, 2012 07:01AM

Disagree.

K-B 286 March 26, 2012 10:48AM

What it can be used for and what it is used for are different enough to call out. nt

The Forsaken(VIP) 221 March 26, 2012 12:11PM

its a defensive ulity spec for villagers vs mages
