  • Yea you can still chase your target while snapshot is up...its basically a means to keep someone in combat so they don't stealth or speed away. That, or a way to interrupt while rooted (as long as range allows) Frankly, though, while rooted I…

  • Heavy tank beats a cleric 1v1...
  • I really hope they aren't done adjusting the Arms... Snapshot was a start but please tell me they have more in mind and are just taking it slow.
  • As much as I hate to support anything that benefits stealth...especially hib stealth.... It really is a fair request given what their peers receive.
  • Anyone get the OTD? What is it?
  • "3) Players have to be willing to build a better community." Bam. This is the most overlooked aspect of this game. Everyone gripes about BS and wants them to fix everything. Honestly, they do shoulder some of the blame for the current status.…
  • Yea its just a HUGE deterrent to playing a Necro to be honest. Tyrantanic, they had to recode the shape change mechanics when they did the Necro revamp....Bains were already out at that point so they had the know-how. This would appear to be a c…
  • 20 minute reuse on purge? No thanks. I don't want to spend my gaming time standing around.... If anything...double immunity timers on all forms of CC. Give CC classes some other form of utility if you feel like it is too much of a nerf t…
  • IRC is frustrating always because they are so good. That is just a fact... however, I think the realm imbalance right now is exacerbating that issue. I've got nothing against IRC ...rather I more detest those who realm hop with them to suckle a…
  • You don't see IRC doing what they do on their hibs while they are on their albs/mids. They are incredible players no doubt (best in the game)...they put in a TON of time. But I think it is apparent to all that Hib is unbalanced atm thus exacerba…
  • Leoj, I've noticed they seem to cast while moving as well. They also are so hard to interrupt. They'll walk into my PBAOE and without Moc...somehow win the interrupt war and kill me before I can even MOC. All while seemingly not even stopping t…

  • omg lol could you imagine IRC playing an extend group against a zerg that is 25% slowed haha that'd be hilarious to watch play out.

  • LMAO If thats what you took from my post then you are beyond me being able to explain it to you. We constantly go after larger numbers but sure...if it makes you feel better to join the lemmings and complain then sure say we hunt solos because…
  • No.... just saying there is always a bigger fish...that is the nature of the game. Especially, on the island.
  • Sleepwell kinda nailed it. My brother and I often hit up the box towns. We will 2v1 someone (unless we know them well) there and not feel bad because odds are we just fled the island where we were constantly 8v2'ed several times before we ch…
  • I had noticed this lately...i didn't realize, though, that the porting buff/ability persisted once you grouped. I thought you lost activated obelisks once you grouped. But it persisting is the issue IMO.
  • Shay, it isn't just their group...its all the little wannabes that suckle at the IRC teats. Plain and simple to those denying that hib isn't incredibly broken/unbalanced atm... I'll just say you don't see IRC killing zergs on …
  • How is stunning someone before pbaoeing them irrelevant? I'm dumbfounded by this. Perhaps if you're standing in a lord room on a stack of pbaoe'ers in a zerg on zerg fight yea...you're not going to stop and stun a single target. But in smal…
  • Population was bound to drop after the holidays. It always does. However, the current garbage with Hibs running wild over this game and being virtually unbeatable in any type of siege situation is driving more people away than what would typicall…
  • ...you don't stun when pbaoeing? Try it...it works nicely.

  • I never said anything about changing it. I just said it is a part of what makes Hibs so out of hand atm. The PBAOE meta coupled with baseline stun is making hib caster groups major easy mode.
  • Yep, and given the current state of the game is it more powerful than ever. I cam flabbergasted when I log my hibs and see how freaking easy it is to rack up kills over there.
  • I logged on hibs Friday night because they had a 45% bonus (the highest bonus at the time by far)... I made 139k in less than an hour. With lesser numbers we easily defended Hurb from alb zerg. It was absolutely ridiculous how easy it wa…
  • Just don't group up so long that it becomes a crutch and you can't play without them. We have far too many of those stealthers in the game as is. But yes...at rr1 find a duo or trio partners and build up that rr a bit. Soloing at rr1 is…
  • /shrug It hasn't gotten me killed yet Obviously, I wont purge it if the fight is still ongoing but if the turd is trying to run at low life you bet I will. Also, If it is a name I recognize that will factor heavily into how I play it.
  • I'm no stellar player or anything but I would have purged too. Stealth in this game has devolved to the absolute worst bottom feeding cheese players. Most stealth would have slinked off and re-stealthed never to have been seen again and I…
  • I feel like bumping Polearm would be the best option as it is the only class unique aspect. Perhaps some pbaoe shouts that help their group/realm would help with the synergy issue. Maybe a polearm style like pin...I don't know. 8man stuff is c…
  • I would typically agree with you...but having BS mess with a bunch of toons sounds far more risky than bumping up one toon. Just saying....
  • I just need an incentive to play mine. There is nothing the Armsman does better than any other class on Alb. Hell my friar is a FAR superior bodyguarder. My merc has vastly superior DPS and takes a hit exactly the same. My Inf is a better kee…
  • Making the current bug potion buff ramp up would be neat. The longer you're on that realm...the bigger the reward. Then if they could make it persist on log out as long as you don't log on a different realm (in which case it would cancel) then …
  • I just said to my brother last night that I wish BS would do something that actually made my Armsman worth playing. ATM My friar is a VASTLY superior duo/body guard partner than my Arms. I cannot think of a single thing the Arms does better …
  • while they're at it...make pet scare actually work against BD pets. I saw the grab bag explanation on why it doesn't but IMO that just means they need to fix it.

  • I actually agree with you Sleepwell...but I would add that, again...I can have fun calling people out and talking crap on a board. Again, I don't expect them to change...but I can make myself feel better by applying social pressure and hunting them…
  • LOL Yea they zerged hard. BUT I will say they very much went after other stealth zergs. Unfortunately, they zerged whether other zergs were on or not. I never zerged with them (I've always hated stealth zergs) but I considered them in my b…
  • No way do I join stealth groups. You're definitely right about that. As a solo/duo visi I can say we definitely see the opposite out of stealth zergs. I almost never see stealth groups do anything to challenge themselves. I mostly play al…
  • In a perfect world stealth groups would hunt stealth groups...but usually they just set up camp at a safe drop/mg and kill solos/duos/trios... and stay stealthed for anything greater. /shrug Its the norm and wont change but we can ridicule t…
  • Small man is back bud. Especially with turkey legs/rolling pins quests. My brother and I have had a ton of fun duoing. You don't have to go near the island if you don't want. Now admittedly, when the pins/legs quests are not going, you d…
  • I expect nothing less Sleepwell. I'm not saying I expect a free pass. But that doesn't stop the frustration from it and therefore, satisfaction that results from getting revenge. My biggest gripe with stealth groups is that they have no intentio…
  • I kind of hope they change the weapons that are given to be the pictslayer weapons that were not included before. I imagine just about everyone has a house vault full of nearly every type of slayer weapon from earlier years. Perhaps astral weapo…
  • I think you're just camping/playing in the wrong places. Everyone's expectations were skewed by the glory days of EV, RPs, free MOS etc... As they've rolled many of those things back our expectations and playstyles must also roll back to befor…
  • I personally believe a new server will fail miserably. We all like our toons and easy to attain gear. Starting from scratch sounds horrible. We all bitch about PvE all the time.... why would we want that!? We've all grown accustomed to faste…

  • Rocketait, I respect your thoughts here but I honestly abhor siege. My old computer can't handle the lag and I just find it incredibly boring. I like having spread out areas (where people will actually go) and avenues of travel. I don't mind EV a…
