FOTM attitudes

[old.Talivar]

Ok a simple question, a new hib guild starts and makes non fotm groups with champs/vw ect and eventually after building some RP's even kill NP and all other good guilds, are they good or do they still sook for having whats classed as a gimp group setup?

 

[Silenzio]

how many FG that guild use to kill one fg?

 

[old.Talivar]

just 1 fg

 

[Gilead^]

if it works go with it,but it would have to be proven 1st

 

[duact]

talivar what works on us might not work here or on korea servers
and our setups might not work in the zergwars on some german servers etc

 

[old.Talivar]

but if it was proven and they did win u agree they cant be called sooky even tho they not the so called perfect group?

 

[duact]

u got a point there

 

[Gordonax]

To be honest, if it works why the hell care that other people say it sucks?

 

[old.Talivar]

cus i just cant beleive that no mater if they beat every other FG on excal a lot of ppl would still say they gimped or sook just because they dont take the ebst on paper group setup

 

[alithiel50]

Hypothetically, it would make them a good group... and I say "hypothetically" because, lets face it, it's not going to happen.

To be honest I think it's quite sad that a group of skilled players using classes that they like doesn't stand much of a chance against button-mashing FotM playing n00bs...

amen



and imo they would be a better group of players, since they dont have det5 anytime mashing tanks (for instance)

maybe they play that assist-team because if they played the chars they really _like_ playing get wtfpwned by assisting savages/bms/chanters/elds?

Aye but spammy slash mercs are so much more easy to play so therefore FOTM

Merc is still 100% harder to play than a savage, as the damage is about half that of a savage...
Fotm they would become if everybody realised how uber those classes are, and started rolling them to also be just as uber.

Less damage certainly but still less positionals are used and therefore more easy to play ^^

haha less positinal??

lol wtf u talking bout i only got positionals on my qb......

 

[iantheace]

Not to mention the fact that mercs have no stun style, and thier positionals are in chains.

Flank/Shadows reign is best combo by far from side and it has NO BONUS TO HIT.

The rear positional DW styles are useless and offer little facility. Often mercs will use the rear positonals offered by thier dmg line. (Back slash, peirce)

Last move as a merc is Dual shadows, front positional, often only usefull on 1st hit as they are legging it 99% of the time after it.

Mercs dont really have a positional style thats usable, unless they are slash spec, and well slash specs resist tables r nasty.

hehe glottis -_-
actually merc aint harder to play then a savage :> its the same more or less. the dmg thingy ur right about tho.

and respons to talis post, well if any realm can make it work is hib cause of grp purge.

 

[justintime]

Tali I think it could work, however the group will be somewhat dependant on grp and individual purge. That aside it sounds much more fun than the usual fotm

Imo for fun factor champ & vw >> hero.

you'd all be my heros and I'd name my kids after you!

 

[emer Roma]

Talivar , I never trusted in these so called perfect groups .
Why should I group with a savage if he's an idiot ?I prefer a Thane if I know he is a good and experienced player cos I'm sure that PPS are important , not the template of the group.

I'm having some good laughs looking at pps sitting outside Svas 1 HOUR waiting for savages , shammy, 2 healers >(1 mend, 1 pac !!) asking for all red buffs , red PoM , with 3 BBs and whatever and usually I see their death spam in 15-20 mints.
Cos they are a perfect group but not a good group.

You have a good group when you get good players , always playing togheter and trusting each other.
And if you got this group , you can easly wipe out all those lame "perfect groups" running around like headless chickens.

Hmmm... too bad we are in different realms

Ciao Talivar , miss you

theres no difference in the skill of the person playing, just cos the dmg is less, and a mercs offence is far more than half of a savages tbh
just cos you do less dmg, doesnt mean u aint fotm
at least a savage has to buff
