have fun?
6 hours? hmm since we took the keep at about 9pm that mean you lame lot came back at 3am. well all I can say is did you have fun fighting against the npc guards?
we took the keep and there were some defenders there and it was fun for us actually having someone to fight against although I think its a little silly that you can gtaoe when you cant be seen at all, still hopefully some class in middy can do that too (probably the SM)
well now you have the ck again and can get back to playing cards in there or whatever you do till you outnumber us 5 to 1 and then decide to leave the safety of the walls.

Last night the mids outnumbered the albs by a few and you still ran like little girls after 2 charges which left the majority of you dead. Shame we could only organise ourselves twice .
If only peope realised we need everyone buffed and un-rez sick to be able to put up a fight. The amount of times people got rezzed and joined a charge of 4/5 people is unbelievable and just drains my and every other healer classes pwr trying to heal / rez again. And how stupid of us was it to go over the bridge, use up all end and pwr on guards and let you all walk through us.

The only way albs can take a keep is when no mids/hibs are online. Its a well known fact!

I've only ever been in Thid once or twice when we haven't been very outnumbered by mids. Makes it quite hard especially due to the fact we are very un-organised compared t the other realms for some reason.

Err coming from the realm which launches 4am relic raids that is a bit rich. In any case there were a lot of Middies defending the keep when we attacked -- there were some battles we won, some we lost but we kept coming back. Roalith sent some rams and before long the keep was back in Albion's hands. Just because YOU were not online does not mean other Middies weren't.
Now stop bleating like a spoiled brat.

Re: have fun?
Well, as I said above to your fellow whining Middie - there were defenders and the battle for the CK rolled back and forth between about 11:30 and 2:30ish. Eventually when we got our rams up there were only a few defenders in the keep - but your shadowblades were preying on the casters at the back of the Alb forces.
I don't know where you get the idea we hugely outnumber you lot - it's very hard to tell to be honest, particularly with the number of stealthers around. Really don't understand what this bleating about us sitting in the CK is -- are keeps not meant to be defended?!
My little matter cabalist excels in keep defence, does okayish in open field, but is really at his best AOE DOTing attackers and nearsighting your casters. So I won't make any apologies for my preferred style of play. Playing a stealther and sneaking around killing people ... not my cup of tea and very, very dully imho.

having played every type of class in RvR now, I can truly say that playing an assasin is not as fun as it's made out to be
We're overpowered, sure, but that doesn't mean we're fun to play.
Classes I have played in Thid:
Skald
SB
Wiz
Shaman
Of all those, the wizard was the most fun, followed my my skald. Shaman isn't hat fun, since he's mend/aug specced, but SB is ok for a laugh... wouldn't want to play one at 50 though
That horse has been beaten to death, reanimated, and beaten to death again.
Would love to see albs take Thidranki in primtetime, ie 6PM-Midnight
give or take an hour

Thanks and gratz to yourselves Beastere. Sorry I couldnt be there after 10pm but I had an argument with my windows key.
Was a good night till then. The first alb offensive caught us totally off guard, but whats more importantant was that you came back and fought well. I was very impressed, and pleased.
At 410rps, my Reign of Albion Terror (tm) ended. Shame really. 60rps worth of kills and 4 deaths, one of which was particularly embarasing.....
Nods and salutes to the people in Thidranki at that time, killing/killed/rezzing etc. And to the hibs too, whatever they were trying to do
This is me signing of from Thidranki Prydwen.

Assasins are not over powered, they nead to be as effective as they are to justify the whole stealth ability. You could argue that mezz, stuns, roots and stealth move the gameplay bias towards tactics rather than brawling..........
I honestly prefer brawling though.

My shadowblade is lvl 23
I have never lost a fight I haven't picked myself
if that isn't overpowered, then I don't know what is.

Wots the best... Infil or SB? because NS's just really do suck... so there out of the question..

doubt there is a best...
it depends
Your average sb vs the average infil will se whoever got PA of first taking the prize
in most cases, i'd say that infils will win, even though I'm playing a sb myself
The ShadowZerker Spec is far superior to killing other assassins than the cb spec is.
All I gotta do is touch an infil and they have to garrote me to death.... which simply ain't gonna happen.
If an infil does get a cs move of on me, I'm usually pretty buggered.... unless the infil is non tweaked or a gimp (has happend)

i dont know about overpowered or anything but i have an infil lvl 24 on both albions and both have very similar spec except one is male and one is female.
the female one is crap.
dunno why. they almost identical in spec and equipment. i have no twinks are uber gear ( or whatever the sodding word is) but if they went head to head the male sara would leather the female sara. dont make sense.
on another note, how do you lot set your hotbars up? im tapping away like bloody liberace (minus dodgy cuffs) on my keyboard changing weaps and backing hamstring up with garrote.
gotta be an easier way!

dont know. depends on whether you want to get as much poison of as possible.
i like to keep everything on 1 bar.
1: Stealth
2A
3:Garrotte
4:BS2
5:Thigh Cut
6:First Aid
7:Stick
8:sprint
since i was using a 2 handed sword i didnt bother doing the weapon change for more poison etc.
and i do think infs have a harder time finding bar space (because the venom spec infs are alot nastier in my opinion)
i read one site which suggested you could get 4 sets of venom off if you did the bar right, but you would have to barswap like a Minstrel to do it.

2 Hotbars here:
Hotbar 1:
Stealth
PA
Garotte
Hamstring
Stick macro
Sprint (Oh yes, sprint!)
Right hand weapon
2hand slot weapon
Hotbar 2:
Stealth
Backstab II
Thigh cut
Garotte
Hamstring
Sprint
Right hand weapon
2hand slot weapon
Dot on 2h slot weapon, debuff on left hand, snare on right hand. PA with 2h weapon, swap to right hand slot (1 click), then immediately hit hamstring with garotte backup - Seems to do the trick, except 23+2 envenom helps
Same combo goes for the backstab bar.
Only problem I have with this set up is that the bars look quite similar - occaisionally I'll try to PA someone from behind, or backstab from in front, etc.
