a idiot can play sorc too, just hit mezz button (quite same as chamber button) then take one out at the time

just look at horner

I've never understood this Horner thing. Why is he regarded as an idiot? Or does everyone just jump on the bandwagon when really they have no clue?

I am surprised the Bainshee wasn't higher that the Sorcerer. But I suppose the initial range of the Sorcerer is a big decider in a lot of fights.

Why so many votes for the warlock. ok the mechanics are silly but fixed now.. but when has a single lone warlock every been able to kill 4 or 5 people. Bonedancers can, necro's can. Sorcerer's can. as can a few of the others to choose from. I've yet to see a warlock ahieve that yes one on one it rules.. chuck in a few adds lock is worthless after its shot its load.

noE? are you stupid or? people prefer to wajn over playing!

new (op or not) classes keeps this game interesting and alive, without them every realm would be the same and would have killed daoc hell of alot faster then introducing new op classes does!!!

daoc seems to be heading in that direction anyhow, first they removed they realm unique ra's, now they are gradually adding the other realms unique abilities to the other realms.

Cause Mythic decided to remove purge from the game, and a sorc can no longer get interrupted either ofc.

Would give you a cluepon but i'm all out :(

Laughspamming a level 42 player who's XP'ing (in the Frontier) and doing it repeatetively (sp!) is a good sign. Ironically Horner immediatly logged once I got enough of it, logged on my Vampiir and outskilled his MOC3-sorc.

Anyhow I wouldnt say an idiot, but if you go past the XP-spots in enemy frontiers each and every day, and laughspam level 42 people who u just gave an XP-dead, idiot isnt that far off.

CR4s with orbital strike.

I think you mean CR5's btw coz of larger see enemy radius :) .. nerf those TR zergers, damn striker noobs :twak:

In DAoC though, Bonedancers without a shadow of a doubt THE most OP noobish class in the game, i used to hate warlocks and sorcs more but have renewed my hate for BD [ which have been stupidly OP since SI ]

yer bain so OP. attack, purge the root, dead?

compare to Mezz and root on sorc, soi, moc+lt, ml9 pet (or just fact its pet class alone)

bainshee got to be the most piss easy class to kill 1v1.....

peeps think its OP cuz all they do is nuke (and prolly add alot)

ironically, horner played a sorc quite good, just like a lot of people jumped on a bandwagon to say he played crap.

I think its the 2300 range uninterruptable taunt that is considered op´d by most people.

aye that 2300 range "uninterruptable" is awesome versus All melle classes.

Might be good against other casters but then again it is not uninterruptable and it dosent do any damage.

so scenario 1)

Bainshee vs sorc.

1) bainshee and sorc start nuking and same time.

2a) bainshee hits taunt interrupt sorc... bainshee does 1 DD

2a1) sorc qc mezz... bainshee mezzed

2a1.1) if bainshee has purge: hit purge , taunt then DD
sorc will press moc+lifetap = dead bainshee
2a1.2) if bainshee dosent have purge: dead Bainshee
2a1.3) purge or no purge: sorc just ML9 pet on bainshee and kite = dead bainshee


2b) bainshee hits moc+dd and sorc hits moc+lifetap = dead bainshee (taunt wont do any good)

2c) while nuking at same time sorc just send his pet = dead bainshee

more scenarios possible in all of them sorc takes advantage in them.

results Sorc vs bainshee = sorc owns


so scenario 2)
Bainshee vs theurgist

1) bainshee and theurg start nuking and same time.(theurg cast 1 ice pet)

2a) bainshee will try to run away... theurg will send earth pets = dead bainshee
2b) bainshee will start nuking ice pet... theurg will send even more pets = dead bainshee

3c) bainshee will just start taunt+DD theurg and hope he dosent have con buffs = might be theurg dead 50% chance.


results Bainshee vs theurg = 2/3 wins for theurg

...
...
...

any pet class caster owns bainshee. dont even bother with BD, Cabali, necro, SM.

the only one that might lose is the wizard/runemaster, but then again = qc nearsight love will come and bainshee will lose too.


Against melle'ers... no britle guards... no CC (root dosent count)

The only thing bainshee was good at was in bridges and currently in groups as suporting assist.

Bainshee arent a solo playing characteres, but they are good in a group.

Bainshee are hib caster's give them Base Stun as all other hib casters.

yer this is a damn fine ability in FG rvr. but like its hardly a show stopper in 1v1 scenarios. The bain being OP is like one of the biggest myths in daoc. its a good toon but like, its light years behind other casters in terms of what it gives to a FG group.

and solo its a complete gimp.

A zerk may actually survive 2 chambers and 3 UI from a rr1 wl. Then wl cant do nothing.. there's no way he'll be able to cast a 4sec cast without being interupted/or killed.. neither will he be able to cast his powerless cast.

See THIS.. THIS is the reason that warlocks arn't 100% at the top of the list.. because 95% of the people that play them are clueless idiots with no idea at all how to play their class!!

So a zerk survives 2 chambers and 3 UI from the warlock. This is why I ask why the hell the warlock decided not to use the UNBREAKABLE SNARE!!!
UI a snare on the tank, kite him about to your hearts content powerless blowing his brains out. But no.. you've dumped a chamber and a UI lifetap on him and now your dead... isn't being a RR1 warlock hard..

I also notice how in your comparison with sorcs, the sorc has ml9, but the warlock hasn't managed to find some random rogs with over 20% powerpool.. I can probably beat that using 2 slots and 50 gold at a ME. Gee that really does sound like too much effort to compete with the ML9 sorc :(

I've beaten warlocks on both a cabby and a theurg (both at about rr3 at the time), so they are killable. It does rely almost entirely on me getting the jump and the warlock not having purge up tho, so it doesn't mean they arn't insanely overpowered..
Anyone that thinks the "moc nerf" will destroy the overpoweredness of warlocks can just be thankful they most of the time arn't playing against good ones. Just ones that play with the same skill level as the above poster.

yer hilarious. and your a newb if you think bain is OP. I mean theres 3 lifetap nukers out there that have ml9 pets, and you think a non life tap convoker caster with no pet and no ranged CC is more OP.

Your obviously missing my point... yes they OP! - still are imo..

note:* with pre nerf 50hex, 20witch u could only do 3 UI with 20% powerpool.

Because every time ive been finishing exping a char on the frontier (while also exping artis) Horner always passes and kills and then emotes !

The gaymeister even used to camp PoC and the entrance ... SadSadSad !

P.S. I base this on personal experience , i am in no way affected by the fotm bandwagon of dho0o0o0o0m , its all from my own experience ;)

The lack of +int in irl templates is strong here. Its obvious that sorc is way better than warlock in all possible ways.

People just dont read patchnotes do they? Wheres the sorc nerf? When is the sorc nerf arriving I wonder?

Im no lover of sorc myself m8 ... but they kinda got nerfed with the Soi+Moc thing ;)
