Group of idiots you'll probably want to avoid.

All I have to say is this: fake D/C ing your way out of a party is the worst passive-aggressive bullshit ever. Heaven forbid that you should actually tell people your reason for leaving, and *gasp* risk them angrily typing at you!
 
So, as I said a few times before, SE really does need IQ test before you can play this game.

Thanks for reminding how fucking stupid some human beings can be, Razuken.

You went to the wrong damn place if you want a Country atmosphere :x Head to places like Albany, Savannah, Valdosta, or Brunswick (Georgia), or any of the smaller towns outside of Montgomery, AL. Not Montgomery itself, towns like Prattville, Millbrook, Opelika, or such.

Asheville's about as country as the Florida Keys :\
 
To the illiterate THF, if the mob isn't turning for meeze to SATAWS and it was his job to stay behind the PLD, then your praser is skewed.

Its always been my opinion that in alot of instances parsers do not accurately depict thfs contribution to the party.

on greater colibri, SATA affords the THF the ability to keep shadows, keep food, and never take dmg, and someone has to lose shadows, recast more often, lose food, and ultimately do less dmg than the thf, but increase the overall output of the party.
Move that camp to imps and the story changes entirely (amnesia)

My point is THF output is somewhat dependant on the party dynamics, in this case the predetermined roles of both thfs give a clear edge to one over the other.

I agree with you, particularly in regards to Amnesia.

However, on Greater Colibri, the contrary is also true when THF's aren't afraid to / have the ability to actually pull hate. They are subjected to / own up to their fair share of Feather Tickles, shadow casting, and loss of food.

If you have a dedicated person always tanking, then of course their numbers will be off. In the example of the parse with You, Fly, Shyrra, and myself...3x WAR + THF, I did my best to lay hate on all of you at some point, and also took hate as often as possible. I noticed that all of us, save maybe Shyrra, had to cast shadows, lose TP, lose food, etc. as much as the other. I came with 4 stacks of kabobs to that party and used almost all of them. I have no reference as to how many shadows I cast, or how many times I lost TP, though I know it was a fairly frequent occurrance.

And in that case, we didn't have a single dedicated tank, so I lost out on major damage several time due to the MOB's erratic behavior, people moving that don't want TA, and inevitable loss of SA and TA and/or WS as a result. People also don't listen. No matter how many times you mention that crowding those birds just makes them spin like bastards, people still crowd them and make them spin. Again, not helping the THF, yet nobody else suffers.
 
On OP topic: Same shit, different day.

Dood, its leik a gui who complimnets you! U alwaz wanna have hi pras!

On a sadder note, I would like to have a moment of silence for the death of the English language. It has survived many a Hellstorm and Blazn post, but I think the ole girl finally lost the fight here today :(

/silence

Moving on, I've fake'd DC'd a time or two in my day, other times I've just flat out fell asleep on a party. Haven't in awhile though, then again I've been pretty much soloing everything here lately, and haven't came down with a "newb migraine". XD

All this talk about fake DC's got me thinking of the other topic and now I want some Arby's!

If you want southern I'd recommend Lugoff, South Carolina. It's southern in the sense that you might get burned at stake if you're black.

after the first 30 minutes of people jumping out of the way, me and fly started lining up for you lol
 
Enjoyed slinging BS remarks back and forth with the original Razuken, the current Razuken is a total asshat, makes me wish he(the original) hadn't quit.

For those not familiar with the concept of an asshat:

If the Razuken account is still in possession of the original's cousin, tell him I said to beat you senseless, you're smearing his old name as if it were dried feces stuck to the ass of a neglected infant.

Awkwardly enough this South ends more around Northern FL.

Still got some hicks/rednecks that way, but the more south you go, the more of a melting pot you get.

Gotta love Miami.

Mei's a friend of mine, really nice person...but thats just bullshit, tell the party you have to go, and at least try to find a rep. Dont just just d/c cause you feel like it.

Sure, so that's about 1/4 of the party that it was an issue.
Would you argue that 30 minutes of jumping out of the way didn't have any effect on the parse? Not that I have any other point, aside from recognition that it does in fact have an effect.

Everything I said was true. Your statement mentioned SATA making things easier for THFs at the Greater Colibri camp. While that's true, it's rare that I'll full SATA. It's not as efficient, and I'll only do it when all timers and TP are available. Even then, it doesn't make as much sense as splitting. Full SATA is just for Epeen, not for efficient meriting.

Anyway, I wanted to post the flipside, that illustrated the reality of meriting at that camp the vast majority of the time. It wouldn't paint an accurate picture if we left out 95% of the details.


"on greater colibri, SATA affords the THF the ability to keep shadows, keep food, and never take dmg, and someone has to lose shadows, recast more often, lose food, and ultimately do less dmg than the thf, but increase the overall output of the party."


This is what I am talking about. It's a much more even playing field than you describe. As I said, I lost nearly 4 stacks of food, lost TP, casted plenty of shadows (even Ichi, omg!!), took damage (although less than the WARs I'm sure - thanks Evasion Bonus and merits!) in about 2 hours. When I was doing all the same crap that you WARs were doing, that was your opportunity to let lose. Enjoy the fact that you can essentially let lose immediately at 100% TP, and not worry about much of anything. The THF can as well, but they have to be looking at timers constantly, to anticipate what will be the best way to use their TP for maximum results. Factor in all the moving and MOB spinning, and this becomes a larger issue for the THF to deal with. I wouldn't ask for extra care, being a job that could technically use it. THFs that require too much assistance aren't worth your XP PT's time. It's not worth holding other party members back. It's up to the THF to refine their methods, much of which just ends up requiring last minute adjustments, a skill in it of itself.

You only lose food when you have hate. I like to pull my weight and not let others carry me. Especially, those that think they are carrying me.
 
It's my speculation that if the SAM can Tachi: Enpi and the THF can SATA VB the SAM and still not turn the mob, especially around the CN area where Viper Bite trumps most WSes in damage by a long shot, even moreso that that SCs Distortion...
...It's a dozen times more like that one (or both, although much more likely the THF) is doing something extremely wrong. That's worse. Worse than "holy crap, that's bad" bad. And that's really, really bad.
 
Meant "that's bad", not "that's worse". Hit submit instead of preview. =P Oh well, I need sleep anyhow.

Case in point, someone who can't turn a mob with SATA VB and Distortion on a mob that's also weak to ice, really can't go calling someone a gimp...
 
cant turn a mob with SATA? what is this faggotry? :mad:

i see the hit just keep in getting lower and lower. pretty soon people arent even gonna know how to use WS, much less SC. :wacko:
