Bonedancers, free rp's, or killing machines?

[Morimdin]

Bonedancers are prettymuch what you make them, in my eyes.. most of the melee-classes i have played have been able to kill the average bd, and as well has most of my casters.
The problem is, if you try to run away from the bd, you might as well just sit down cause of the filthy insta thing, but if you charge it, you find out, hey.. these bastids aint supermen, they got 4-600 hits only!
Now, if you are a infil, you can actually kill the bd easy if you stuff your weapons in desease and dot, even without the PA!
any caster with mezz, mezz the healer, root the commander and get a bit of range and start attacking the bd.(also works with root only, with some skill/luck/suprise)
other melee classes that have a propperly spec and some decent gear should be able to finish off the bd without to much of trouble(of course Paladin and other xx-weaponskill classes can't..)

PS: this does not count on level 50!!(lvl 50 bd = run on sight)

feel free to comment/flame/discuss/be lame/correct something you mean is wrong(stuff that is usualy donne on forums)

was very few in thid that ever managed to kill my bd when i had him there (1v1 offc)..

well. archers was the most problem...

kinda toying with the idea about making a BD gank grp for thid consisting of all 3 specs BA bony for AE dot, dark bd for debufferpet/body debuffs and supp for the obvious lifetaps.. and perhaps a pac healer and cave shammy to just to make it look good cave shammy for more AE dots and AE disease and pac healer for AE stun and pox...

Why bother, just make 8 BDs with insta lifetaps. Use /assist and see every enemy fall before they even have a chance to think.

my paladin has killed about 3 bds in thid..
alltho he is 2-h but still you said they couldnt

 

[Ctuchik]

my paladin has killed about 3 bds in thid..

and u were solo or grouped with a mezzer? if the bd have any clue whatsoever, u cant kill him 1v1 in thid.


and to the "why not 8 supp bd's" because that would be to easy and having a healer in group is pretty nice if he stays out of mezz radius and a shammy can never go wrong tbh was thinking about adding a skald to but naaaah.

altho im just toying with the idea.

what if a infil lands PA with desease? still wont kill the bd?

 

[Ivan]

and to the "why not 8 supp bd's" because that would be to easy

Come on then BD's are easymode, make a 2 healer 2 zerker 1 shaman 1 skald 2 sm group and face the challenge

I would like to face a well-played group of that approximate setup.

I had a BD in Thid when they were first introduced and have to say was ALOT of fun mainly because people did not know how to take them. Was nice running into a fg of albs and dropping 5 before killed as 1 would hit commander 1 on healer pet and others on me , This was before I understood how much of a mana drain BD's are :/

Savage Conclave did have a guild hunt there about 2 months ago where we they all made Supp BD's about 3 fgs and took CK was alot of fun, I played my skald though as I find it more fun.

At the end of the day a good player who knows his/her class will beat a bad one [THE END]

Just ask Pusinboots - DAMN your tough /salute

Solo BD = rp cow (My inf can oneshot you with no problem so i guess other infs can too)
but if you group your an effective killer(using lifetap and baseline nuke u can outdamage a dark runie)

 

[GimpStrole]

Can't solo on my Body caba, tried aoe disease, but no mezz or anything so I can't root the BD or the pets before it inst lifetaps me Did over 1/2 health of damage on lifetap with caba though, give MoC and I win

i was solo and the BDs i have killed has been kobbos and all of them have been unbuffed but still i have killed BDs Solo in thid with my 2-h paladin

Dont ask me! God knows how many times ive been laughed at when trying to kill a BD I can normaly kill BD's when there unbuffed (if disease hits), but if they are buffed then i stand no chance.
And thxs btw /salutes back :wub:

 

[Ormorof]

annoying with BD if HO crush mercs hits you for like 250 damage real quick, my insta lifetap cant compete!!!!

 

[Ivan]

My 2-H armaman eats ugly twolls for breakfast, only had trouble with a thane once, skalds and boneys arent a problem.

PS: Only skald i lost to was Dommelsh, and that was a 1-2 hit loss.
Orange = teh win !


So, what im trying to say is, screw fotm ... reroll as an alb infil .... the end.

 

[Svendoc]

Ivan I am happy to hand your armsmens arse to you on a plate with my skald, an ickle dwarf hammer user and we all know Sword is weapon of choice for BG skalds

Say when and where you would like your lesson andI will happily oblige

 

[Ivan]

Deal, i should be on around 8:00 gmt. Come buffed though, i will sit me butt at the apk since i dont have speed and wait for /beckon.

another point on BD's is it hugely depends on who is playing, im not a particularly good BD yet i manage ok for the most part, then i see 4 BD's charge into 4 albs (2 wizzies, 1 cleric and friar i think it was that had just killed me, so only 1 wizzie had bolts up) yet they all managed to get killed.........

they charged mb and then once they started getting nuked, rather than lifetap to interupt they ran around and hoped for their healer pets, now, anyone thats played BD know the healer pets are pretty slow in getting started on the whole healing thing so they all managed to die.... then they complained about overpowered albs in cg....

point im making is that you cant classify anyone that plays BD as a killing machine or free rps because theres a huge gap between those that can play the class well, those that play it at an average level and those that play it really really badly
