I wrote a more moderate post addressing each of the three quotes you put up there, when I realised how facetious you were actually being, and forcibly stopped myself. I'll just scratch my itch by pointing out just one strawman in your post though: C…
The damage is big. Maybe not as big as pyromeld nowadays, not too sure, but the aoe proning can be fairly overbearing when you're forced to fight in it. Probably the only mage meld that is not druid meld that has consistent, passive proning. Territo…
It's probably up to the person. There're times when I'm free and a newbie asks (or a newbie doesn't ask) and I give them a magic carpet ride about the wonderful world of Glomdoring - but there are times when I'm busy or leaving and I can only point …
Technically, we already have aeon - and probably don't need more. Only Mag and Gaudi are locked out of aeon in all their primary/secondary skillsets. I'd rather delete aeon across the board, except that would mess up more things than we really want …
No, the idea is that on one hand, we have a bunch of people berating us about bonds and how we're downplaying its effectiveness and misrepresenting its costs, its limitations, its restrictions, its drawbacks, its risks and its qualities, and in the …
Aeon IS a shut-down affliction. It takes a cure balance, therefore interfering with curing other afflictions, and therefore has "afflicting power". It hinders not only offense, but also ALL other kinds of curing, over and on top of normal cure balan…
Hey, since staticfield was brought up and I thought about it a little, it's a pretty good counter to bonds. Don't even need prismatic. You activate it, walk into a bonds/pitted/melded room... and see everyone get pushed out of bonds just by attackin…
Pretty sure there are persistent speed buffs with higher than */5. Can't recall which right now, and can't check till I get home from work. If I'm not mistaken, though, it's probably a monk skill.
We had no melder in that Ethglom fight. It was incidentally a fight that didn't have liveforest, because, you know, we had no melder. That was the same fight where the Celest/Seren group left after I started hitting prime mobs before I logged - and …
If you're refering to two nights ago (more accurately, that'd be 30 hours ago), I probably called for that raid, because I'd just logged on. At least that one was the one where Celina showed up to help set a fire. I certainly didn't send Rancoura on…
Also, my rave: missed the revolt, but I made it in time for my post before Zvoltz came around, this time. Typing on a phone is hard, but I'll be damnd befet ANOTHER of these run from me. Whee.

I'm not sure what you wanted us to do there, 'rush' the eth seren nexus? At least we don't stand around outside in Faethorn, waiting and watching specifically for people to start bleeding away before jumping back in the ex…
I think the effort has to be made from inside the clique. It's understandable that a clique, sometimes by definition alone, may not want to do so, but ultimately, it is advantageous for them as well as for their org (and more abstractly, the game) i…
You guys can continue with the off-peak raids. But can you guys please stop with the off-peak (for me, not everyone's on-peak time is now, you know!?!) forums drama? There's stuff I want to say, but if I do that after an ad…
Auto declarations don't show up, I think... can't be sure. Alternatively, there might be code that makes it possible for the game to know who was hitting, and not hitting, and give status to those who did. Will need someone to look at the code to co…
Also, if you have status on someone, you can attack them while they are in your org territory (they auto declared by being in an enemy org) and they can't attack back without triggering vengeance status. The easiest way to understand this is through…
That's not true. If you're an enemy of the city, and you're in the territory, and you are attacked by any member of it, you'll get auto-declared to that person. If he dies to pvp before it expires, you'll automatically be statused. In fact, if you d…
There're probably one or two more universal resistances you can get. If you have the ability to trans environment for attunement, that's great for bashing.
There're also a few health buffs out there that can give you a leg up. A…
