And almost every time I only just came out of lag in time to escape, having gone in with full health. And see my response to jalim re preps. Also, sometime's it take time to figure out how something is op. For example, assassinate is op in the reduced edge point world. But if you don't know the key for factors for assassination success you wouldn't know that from playing aby daurwyn - Log Board
I said bat did interesting things, like give an extra attack (something that no one has mentioned when debating how many attacks champions get sometimes). I didn't use it in pk. I spammed it up Vs mobs and stopped using it. Funny that you are trying to change the subject away from the point I made, which was that you don't always have to use a skill a lot to judge whether or not iby daurwyn - Log Board
Might have been eryndorial or something like that. I typically started with fend since I had neither temperance nor fortitude, used maneuver a lot vs the crazy enemies like that wrecking Ball of a conjurer (not sure if it was charine), used Marshall but back then it only lasted a few rounds (I think I might have been the first champion?). And wrath to curse. Had hope virtue which was quiteby daurwyn - Log Board
If a character was given Slay, would you need to use it yourself to know it is overpowered? Or could you work that out from being on the receiving end of it multiple times and seeing many others on the receiving end of it, not just in logs which might misrepresent its effectiveness? Maybe we should give you the skill on one of your midbies?by daurwyn - Log Board

But to me it feels as if you are distorting the argument, not Quas. Which is not to say you are. It's just to say that in my eyes he is closer to the reality. A muter, for example, is legal against people with poor saves. A batadin is harder to counter. Sure, a druid can do it but then druids are the nemesis of Paladins and less so for a batadin than the other Paladins.by daurwyn - Log Board
I could be attacked whilst fully prepped with over 100 charges and be lagged out so that the first action I could take was whilst I was convulsing, repeatedly. Sure, aps don't know staff but equally that's lagging me long enough to put out huge amounts of damage. I have played a champion Paladin. I just avoided using bat. Oh, and I stuck to the Paladin code rigidly instead of carryinby daurwyn - Log Board
You can't do one or two pincers then a disembowel against someone that can lag you out. And champs also distance and spin well. Spin, for example, doesn't seem to care about weapon type (which is partly why I favoured spear as Tsal). Bat is not balanced at the moment. Sure it doesn't always grant extended lag, but it very often does, in my experience. And the damage it dealsby daurwyn - Log Board

Essence of faith is not that bad to fight against once you figure out what works. I solo killed some successful Paladins with it as nererial. But the supps I used were quite different to those I'd normally use. Basically I chose ones that if they for through eof, would almost certainly land, as opposed to ones that would likely still be saved against. Whereas against a normal enemyby daurwyn - Main Board
In the same way that a skill you can perform every round eventually misses a round, so too did I eventually have rounds without 2 bats. But it felt like I was basically using a twice per round skill.by daurwyn - Main Board
Bash locked before I could fend or Marshall. Disarmed and then bash locked. Note that retaliation is worse when you can't see. But if I'd had temperance or fortitude I don't know that the former would have worked.by daurwyn - Main Board
Remove potential to lag from bat. My elf champ didn't tank that well until he used fend, but he could potentially be lagged out before that. Also being disarmed was a serious threat and could happen. People tend to overestimate the effectiveness of the anti disarm. Either elf champs tank better now, or people are prepping with something, or a virtue is helping.

I have always felt that game balances requires scarcity of some builds from some cabals. And empire is one of those. Arcane sect would mean hasted cents and inners etc. Plus the weak ap players getting a busy to neuro for them.

Although I think I only endured one full sac and one heavy looting with Tsalantha. And the heavy looting wasn't the guy that killed me. I had my unholy returned to me 3 times, I think. Twice with the same 12 charges in, and once when the killer took Anazu instead (which I don't mind at all -- I'd do the same!).

I think my best all round tank was my elf temperance 2h specced Paladin, with defiance. Better thank my lawful good Conjie, better than my Arial sword spec, better than my elf champion (albeit hope virtued).
