I think there's only been maybe a dozen times in 14+ years of playing that I've seen triggers truly turn the tide of a fight.
Triggers are bullshit, I'll agree, but most triggers really only come into play if you're already losing the fight.
And I mean shit dude. I have a hard time taking this rant from you seriously. Your shitty wood elf rager bitched at me when I was
As one of the hardcore pkers, if Empire is in power I'm rolling good.
I get what you're saying about evil having more targets, but I'm not rolling someone who can justify fighting the person in power. I'm rolling the underdog. I'm rolling the guy who is diametrically opposed to whoever is in power because I want to be the one to pull the cabal up by the boot straps for
I'll disagree with this to some extent. While China does have an abundance of resources, the sheer scope of the expansion they're undertaking and the speed at which they are developing...they need developed allies. They're investing heavily in africa and other countries but they absolutely need the US. The trade between the two countries, even with perceived slights on either side,
I think a lot of hardcore pkers, myself absolutely included, will roll the underdog. Whether good or evil. I know Starbright will and NbM to an extent will to.
For me it's boring to be the king of the hill. Once a cabal I am in is in power I tend to delete. I like to climb the hill. The rush is in knocking off the big bad.
Ehh. I mainly agree with you but with a couple of small caveats. I definitely see what you're saying, especially with ragers being a very special case... but, excluding like...Marcus and Shaapa, I think most of the top tier pkers are prep whore heavy. That is what lets them sustain their success and keep snowballing. Combo is somewhat irrelevant then. Alex is going to prep hard on his fire g
I think you'd have to subdivide things out a bit then. As far as raw pk skill, in-fight awareness, skill usage etc goes... then yeah, I would put myself into top-tier consideration. But when discussing the top-tier pker list, I don't prep hard enough nor do I play conservatively enough to truly sustain long term high pk percentage to really deserve a place at that table. (with the one e
IMO a lot of the super top tier pkers have left. No more Shaapa/Marcus/Nep/Dwog/Tongni?/Elhe/Acaga/Deriveh?...and I don't think the mud has filled that void per se.
Overall skill level may have risen, but I think the top tier pkers that are left stand out due to a lack of other top tier pkers to compete against. WM is clearly a boss, but I also don't think there's as many upper
Gives sword spec skills provided you're using a sword. Super fun on a sword based warrior. Conceivably can do essentially a 16 hit flurry if timing works out for you. I had it on a duergar damage based sword spec warrior. It was nuts.
I haven't played really in about 2 years. That plans to change soon in the next couple of weeks, but I often find myself questioning WM's opponents' decisions. I feel like there must be less top-tier pkers on the mud, or there must be other powerhouses that we're just not seeing fight the WM.
Granted it's been a while but I used to rock out HPM warriors pretty hard. IIRC swing, when you get the tumble echo is trip lag. Otherwise it's no lag or maybe a pulse or two at best.
Wallop and batter I believe are pincer lag. It used to be 100% chance for lag with hpm, or damn near, but the last HPM warrior I played it wasn't. Probably 70%ish at best. Look for the 'knock
My basic rule of thumb was that if it's a heavy weapon that could potentially impact my dodging/defenses/inventory then I would sacrifice it. If it's a lightweight dagger or sword than I'll probably grab it and drop it somewhere later....the sacrifice wasn't out of douchiness, but out of competitiveness. I'm ALL for sportsmanship. Like 100%. But this is still a highly com
I think druid is one of the only things in the game that can feasibly win a battle of attrition against stsf d-elf, and if he's using spores to keep stsf from charging up it's definitely working in the druid's favor.
HOWEVER. I wouldn't use spores if I was going to all-in raid at the inners. I'd use spores and thornheart, then flee and just...wait. Homie has to either
I don't play many 15 int characters, but I do play a lot of 16 int characters. Maybe the drop off from 16 to 15 int matters some, but nothing THAT drastic, especially not with saves that high.
As any number of duergar warriors, any time I had more than ~50 svs sans warcry I was only worried about maybe one or two pure spellcasters in the mud. Now...once you start getting low on con, that&
