  • (Quote) Real answer, every time I've raided Gaudi nobody defends.
  • She could still save money by cancelling Elite and only re-upping when a promo is worth buying.  

    Which is exactly what I'm agonizing over at the moment.

    Wait, hahaha, what!?  Defend myself from what? I'm confused.  Did I do something wrong now? Xenthospolice, please read me my rights.
  • My perspective:

    Someone gives me a reason to fight, in this case Issey based on alliance calls.

    We look for the fight (there were 3 people in Ethglom, including Issey)
     -- We kill one in Ethg…
  • Huh? Why?

    It was mostly Hallifax that was up to no good. (Responding to Issey starting a fire in Ethseren)
  • I'm in.
  • I hope that sparkle in your eye is our child Ushaara.

  • I think we're over-estimating how powerful these will be in PvP.  Note, I haven't tested numbers.  If the rooting is insane, or smite does 20% max HP or crazy things like that, I'm wrong.  Here I'm just assuming reasonable numbers.
  • Make  a torc of mastery for each sphere, 200cr.
  • I agree with a lot of Lerads points. I also really like the design of the skillset aside from the fact that a warped aura makes you cure slower. This is the classic slippery slope that makes balance almost impossible. If I can build aura warp from t…
  • If that's all it costs, yeah absolutely. Especially considering how sweet the rest of the skillset is. If you make it take cost warp (thereby sacrificing attrition towards the instakill), and maybe shorten the minimum duration, that would probably …
  • Sorry, stupid phone formatting -- I think it shouldn't be too hard to set up your system to automatically sip when you have the healer recklessness, and toggle to mana/ego as needed. -- Recklessness is definitely not a death sentence by a…
  • Reducing the timer to 1.5s or so would do a lot more to appease me. 3s is a gaping window, but 1.5s or even 2s could be spanned with a shield stun. I still don't think it's necessary at all though.
  • Gone the whole week to London for a tournament. This doesn't mean I'm acquiescing in that aeon thread!! :P
  • @Lerad

    I was talking about stun in its state pre-nerf (pre immunity), trying to differentiate between a situation that warranted a change, and a…
  • Aeon spam is demonstrably worse than old shieldstun spam though...

    First: You can send commands through (including TUMBLE) for example.

    Second: You can't just spam aeon, otherwise you'll waste balances…
  • edit: Ack, in response to Lerad...

    Eh, I'm not offended, nor should you be.

    It's just frustrating seeing someone who has good aeon curing leveraging how most people totally suck at curing aeon to rally…
  • (Quote) Good lord, do I need to put /s behind that?  I thought I was laying it on thick enough that you might notice.
  • Aeon is useful for stopping people from running and stopping them from sipping health.  It seems relevant to look at how it will be affected before and after.

    Also, institute makes sacrifices for not having such strong in …

    You forgot shieldstun, but that's just a 2s (maybe 2.5 with arti shield?) stun so it doesn't cover the gap either.

    Look I don't want to be an asshole, but you're clearly just going thr…

    The nerfs you mentioned are all quite different than nerfing aeon.

    What I would like to point out is that for almost all of the aforementioned nerfs, there was no counterplay.  Aeon allows opportunity …
  • Eh, I don't know who this person is, and as far as I can tell he is basing his understanding of combat balance on reading the forums.

    With you and Lerad writing novels from your perspective, it's no shock to me what conclusions …
  • @Rivius and especially @Shonjir for being super patient today and helping me a…
  • Rivius' list is far better and more complete than mine.

    *bowdown*
  • I don't use m&m so I don't know how to make it better, but it's pretty simple... When in aeon don't wait to regain balances, just check what affs, and go in order from:

    wake up
    aeon cure (steam)
    cure asthma (dust)
    cure …
  • I was being facetious, but ok...

    Just because you can send commands that fail in other ways when you're not aeoned doesn't mean you don't need your priorities to be correct outside of aeon as well.  If you curing is bad outside …
  • Yeah the better way to timequake is to beast amnesia and shatter on aeonfields passive aeon. It's relatively easy to disrupt, but if they don't, they're dead. The kill window stays open really long, which makes us pretty scary IMO. 
     Note nerfin…
  • (Quote) That's awesome to hear! I thought it was still outside of the overhaul.  Pardon me.

    I think that with ablaze providing a damage increase, pyros reach a higher damage potential than geos, but of course geo takes the ca…

    That's because it used to take us to 50% mana and 50% ego.  Now it has a more minor drawback since the buffs/debuffs overhaul.
  • You have logs?

    If you're getting locked like Dylara, then that's another issue.
