What do you think about them. I'm kind of torn. I hate it when I go AFK and come back to the screen and I'm standing at the pit, but then again, I was the one who went AFK in the first place. I definitely give props to people who lay of when they figure out I'm AFK and stop beating the piss out of me. But I also have started to come to terms with the fact that it's not reaby Welverin - Main Board
Edges make the shield deds passive Melee better. I agree with the poster about Wrath spamage. But the Shield ded benefits more from Shield Block and Shield mastery than parry, though having better parry does make it better. Storm Shield deds are going to have harder hitting shield jabs, and better shield bash, but I don't think they can take the edge that makes it come more often. To beby Welverin - Main Board
If you want to play Aco, play shield or champion. Much more synergy to group interactions with the right Virtues. Group Sanc on a shield ded elf, would be quite nice for Group PvE, or PvP.by Welverin - Main Board
Really depends on what you want to dedicate to, Shield ded was nerfed pretty hard with the Wrath going to 2 rounds. Storm makes good Defender, and Avenger, one of the races I really don't play much, I hate low int. Edges would make this shine with Shield Jabs doing very nice passive damage if you get the buckler from HighLords. Shield of LIght is nice, but only niche for fighting warriby Welverin - Main Board
Fleeing at 77% HP. On another note, I didn't think your Sanc could be dispelled as a skill... Guess I was wrong.by Welverin - Log Board

Really I do. But I have also lived through it. Yes, it is likely I could survive, and I think for the most part did. Its not worth the PBF, pretty sure I died at least once to neuro spam. In the end, without passive melee, and landing a massively lucky Dispel, or getting a really lucky weapon drop with Wither, its better than even that hes got the upper hand. Killing him? Doubtful, as soonby Welverin - Char Board
Complain about ganks, but every chance you get, you are running around with a gank squad. I've seen it from both ends of the spectrum. Complain about getting looted, and yet are about as loot-tastic as they come.(Though not in this log) I don't know what more to say other than you sir, are an a$$.by Welverin - Log Board
I would like to see how its done.by Welverin - Log Board
I get it. I do, but it's not my experience on the Neuro Spam not lagging, unless I'm fighting more than the muter at the same time. I can remember one fight that I got out of Neuro Spam with more than 50% hp as Sankra, And certainly not enough to run him around hoping to run him out of mana, and/or moves. Again, first real shaman, I know I didn't do things right. But that matchuby Welverin - Char Board
I don't usually log my deaths. I can tell you it pretty much goes this way for any non-monk Paladin, and shaman I've played. Paladins, I do well enough to say that its pretty sure. Shaman, maybe I was doing something wrong, but after a couple of fights with him, the best I could do was run like heck if he didn't freeze me hard enough. Other than that, I pretty much just sat atby Welverin - Char Board
Round by round: By experience, both as a paladin, and a Shaman, Pally at least gets 3 attacks, and knows staff. Round 1: Muter Neuros you take 10-15 HP of damange from Neuro You get 1 attack thats not parried at 30 HP, They get one at 50 HP End of Round one: Muter is at 600 HP, You are at 760 Round 2: Muter Gets 1 attack through for a Maim(60-80hp) Parries both of your attacksby Welverin - Char Board

But how many times have you been on the other side of the coin and won? You are playing a build that is ridiculously op against builds with little passive damage output, and whining when someone won’t sit there and just die to you.... then going borderline poc with tells, so much that a snooping imm drops exp on me, and tells me specifically what it’s for.... but yeah. Call it what you want.by Welverin - Char Board
Have it strip key spells.... DIspel is unreliable at best. It won't strip aura, shield, barrier. So at best you're striping hardening, stoneskin, and maybe protection. He's still walking with A/S and maybe Barrier. In the mean time, alone, I'm hitting him for maybe 1 maim a round, vs his locking me up, spelling me up, then **** Damage.

Play it out for me... 37 meter, vs 40 dwarf heavy shaman, venoms. -15 pr so svpara, how do you compete with neuro spam on a guy whose wielding a staff? You are frozen for 10+ rounds with only 2 passive melee attacks. Tell me how you win?by Welverin - Char Board

1) Your current perma lagging build was tough, but man, one wither and you run for the hills not to be seen again for like 15 minutes. 2) With a couple of exceptions, you picked your fights very very well. Who the heck is going to fight against a perma lagging opponent on their terms? Not me. 3) Very hard to be ballsy with a Dwarf Venom Shaman in most cases at hero.

Dude, seriously, you wanted a solo fight with me when you are playing a character at the height of its power? What chance does a shaman have with no passive melee against a neuro-spamming muter? Pick the fights man.by Welverin - Char Board
I love Dwarf RP. Venom shaman just isn't my play style I guess. Combine that with not being able to sync up with Whiysdan... and pretty sure I got passed up for Maran a few times(My fault most likely) It was time to pull the plug.by Welverin - Char Board
Empire is just not for me. I gave it a try to get over my Paladin. The RP in Empire just isn't for me. Most everyone was decent. Some really good, some... To be honest I was really hoping I'd get a better feel for Glik and maybe change my mind about him being on his side... That didn't happen.

Dwarf monk plays different than Elf Monk, but you pretty much had the idea right there.by Welverin - Log Board
Once the command is in and it starts, the Monk is lagged 3 rounds, in between round 3-4 the Monk can potentially enter a command. So If you flee, wait four rounds, then re-engage, rinse repeat. Very few people die to intensify that wouldn't have died to wrath spam when it was 1 round sup. The problem is not surviving a monk, its trying to figure out how to kill them without dying yourselby Welverin - Main Board
