Ode to SB

[lathonial]

a while bak a scout could run amok, kill anything he aimed at and postively, thrillingly get away with it. was fun... we got nerfed. It hurt to play a character when its former glory is still freshly etched into ur brain. thus the decline in scout numbers. Enjoy ur few last weeks in emain, those that can't take the pain and decide not to stay.. goodbye. those that stay, look forward to sticking my arrows up ur ass, run amok and postively, thrillingly get away with it

shhh no one tell them that all they have to do is respec crit, although that involves more than 1 or 2 styles to work

mmm you abviously havent played an SB to level 50 and found out the short comings of LA yet.

I dont think LA hits hard at all for SB`s tbh, ive beaten some ive lost to some not once has it been such an extreme loss on my behalf that i thaught omfg thats overpowered.

hell i almost killed a buffed SB unbuffed earlier today and she was spamming doublefrost4tehwin (not really she was using snowblind/comeback, but didnt land frosty), was done to a last swing. I`d love to meet an SB that could 2 shot my infil like all those rumours suggested all those months ago.

look no matter how much the blindly pro- mid supporters go on about how LA "doesnt hit that hard" the official word is that they do and even mythic admitted it, and tbh they dont admit mistakes much

This is true, LA does hit hard. From Troll berserkers with a good crit they hit really hard. From a 5-spec Shadowblade, nope, not really.

Givh troll shadowblades imo

Ahem *cough* bollocks *cough*

Took on a SZ last night. He averaged 250-300 per hit v's my 39% slash (26% resists + 3% racial + 10% for RF) with a sword.

Do the math an thats some fooked up dmg at capped speed mainhand. Long story short you anytime harder than your average inf/NS's can feckin PA me. LOL "SZ don't hit hard"....Tis bollocks. I know it. You know it. Mythic nerfed it

On excalibur? with midgard 20% melee bonus (relics) ? that would explain some of the extra dmg...but even with the 20% extra if thats against 39% resist then i find it hard to believe. im usually fully buffed, rr4 norse sz, and i never average even close to 250-300dmg with DF against infis.

Seriously man. Not one of his hits was below 250 dmg. No doubt at least one of em was a reactive because i was temp stunned an as i recall and that hit was that one was over 300 dmg. Rest all in the 250-300 range. He was norse and i'd like to hope fully buffed too.

Came as a surprise to me too. I caught him comming out of a fight with 100% hp after killing an inf (i think) so he had no poisens on at all. I honestly thought he wouldn't stand a chance without debuff/poisen. Then he hit me with above dmg an blew right through my 1900 hp's and AM.

It's shit like that mate that got it nerfed.

Edit: I'd just like to add btw that unless a SZ gets his own dmg add buff (it hit for considerably less than the 10ish dps jobby in alch. Looked like the 4 dps shammie one) that i don't know about he had some shammie aug buffs from somwhere. I'd can only assume this included end regen

FFS that was supposed to be edit

You said he hitted you with a sword?
Ain't a SZ a sb with axe/laxe spec? So it sounds like a CB to me instead...no wonder he hits hard when its a 2h sword.

No, it doesnt matter if they spec sword or axe, if they spec LEFT AXE they are an SZ or 5 spec depending on how high their crit strike is.(Edit: Oh and can be soulblade too, but nvm)

Left axe is just the name for the line. It doesnt restrict the mainhand weapon whatsoever so a sword can be used just as well as an axe if speced for that.
