Zede thats because hib is the worst of the 8v8 realms to play. Hence why mid/alb dominate it.
Lulz. A good hib grp can dominate ;d

Well done on stating the obvious. Any good group can dominate. What Everz is saying is that hibs don't have an equivalent to an interrupt class like a bd or theur. Suppose the bain taunt back in the days whas ok, but thats about it.
Groups running with 2bd's or 2 theurgs whas and is just... ZZzzzzZZzz.

What i dont get the point of with some usa sorcs is not using the insta AE d/q debuff.
I think it brakes mezz now or something, But i used to use it just before i started mezzing to stop ppl casting on inc. Soooo many times ive been stuck to a sorc and a bard come towards us they both start casting mezz and our grp gets done. if they hit debuff whilst mezzing it would stop em ! ..
also when sorcs see a grp inc you can see they mash mezz as they do the double fail cast mezz where they are still technically moving interupt themselves and start casting a 2nd time and get mezzed, instead of just facing.
The days of playing a bard in a 8 man were some of the best of my career in daoc!
Nothing like spotting a group on impact and having to time everything just perfectly.
I remember when SoS was rox and you could just spot a group on inc, hit sos, amnesia and mezz :d or double mezz to brake cb charges ;d
Let's look at the lemon's first:
- No warden = no important red resists, no bg, amongst other things. But suppose you can go without it.
- Ani bombers. The 20% pierce is gone and although the burst dmg can be great, it still isnt the same as a normal nuke. Where the dmg is getting done when you nuke, instead of having to w8 10s for the bombers arrive.
Ani pet's - static, can be cc'd, nuff said.
And why would an alb group push, its always a kite group when it comes to albion and their range > yours
Anyways a 2 theurg/bd group would rape that group in an instant.
That said i am a big fan of the void eld, ani, bain groupa's. Druid, warden, bard, void eld, mana eld/chanter, bain, animist, animist/bain comes to mind Somehow it whas really never populair, or never really worked. Seen lots of good play with groups with just an animist though.
Dear FH members. This is the CC'er who used insta aoe mezz on a resting group
Yes, i fully agree that the standard of playing from the majority of Americans is terrible. Horrible examples that spring to mind are:
Breaking mezzes with AoE DoT's
Burning SoS to catch 1-2 people when they are an fg
Trying to tower camp with tank groups
Letting people die to rebuff another in fights
RA dumping when it clearly won't help (e.g. blowing MoC and healing yourself when not stun-immune vs a hib caster or a shield tank).
Guild groups blowing purges to try and kill a stealther with mezzpoison etc.
Realm loreing people to find out that they have 0 in some resists...
High RR stealthers who won't go out of heal/DI range from their tower-bot etc.
The more annoying thing with the Americans is that they only ever solo/duo on the most overpowered classes. Example: I never see a soloer from Mid unless it's a Warrior, Valk or Lock. I never see a soloer from Hib unless it's a Vamp, Champ or VW. Unfortunately Alb is just as bad - only really putting out Reavers, Pallys, Arms and Tics.
Have to say, i'm not digging the cluster on the US so far because it's destroyed the small group/solo action that i enjoyed the most.
Seen all this plenty of times on EU as well and bear in mind that probably something like a third of the players are not Americans, but former EU/Antipodean/Asian players.
From the talk i saw last night i think a lot of the group rvr is going to be seen in Agramon, but time will tell.
Breaking aoe mezz is something the eus did as well.
always remember a level 20 half ogre mercenary with a portable catapult spamming benowyc bridge when a few high rr groups were in the area. I think a alb group dropped a perfect mezz off on a high rr hib group, only for the hibs to be fine after the emzzbreaking etc
I think Thanes were responsible for 10% of all graphic card meltdowns preToa!
