I hope your not using Scalars on reaver, if so - Your just as retarded as 99% of new reavers nowadays - Not a clue how to play the class or understand the class at all, go back to merc, even though you couldnt even MA as that lol.

wth would i wanna MA as a reaver? melee /assist is dead. interrupt and let the casters kill any class in ~3seconds thats the name of the game these days.

the joy of being MA is when u win noone notices, when u lose its your fault, 10.5m real-rps™ is a fair bit of winning, fyi.

actually Konah i disagree with you here, a good MA is is about targeting the right classes at the right time, it doesnt matter what class your playing. If you have good interupts and assist from caster you should have no trouble dropping said target.

However much you HATE to hear it, Rod is a superb MA on his merc because hes constantly asks for assist and says when and whats target hes changing too. Good communnication is key even when fighting in a close group and essential when running in a pug. Problem is that you generally running pugs and you dont get the grp synergy you get with if not a set grp then players who have been playing for years together. You show me how many pug grps assist fast and well and have a good MA taking the best target rather than the first to be clicked on or F8'ed.

2 BL's can still fuck over a caster grp with good caster assist, no lighttank cant generally drop a target alone or even with an assist due to kiteing/melle lag but if u have a cabby/air theurg nuking for 500-600 dmg then ANY target drops fast.

Done it yesterday at like 20:00 ... we stood there for 20 minutes trying to get people for it and no-one passed ... or wanted to join... ended up duo'ing it. Not very wanted rare spawn if spawns primetime and we can spend 40 minutes killing it without a soul passing :p

Yeah but if your job is to interupt (like Konah's reaver I guess) you pick your own targets and let the damage dealers do the killing. You only assist when there's nothing better to do. I use Scalars on my reaver though so it's probably a retarded opinion :/

Well that's kind of the problem with the game these days. The nukers don't need a tank to drop their targets, but without enough casters a group is pretty much useless (if they don't happen to face another tank group which is as likely as snow in hell).
The difference between a tank and a caster should be range. If a tank can't get in melee range fast enough, he should be in trouble. If the tank can close the gap to a caster, the caster should be in trouble. Unfortunately this isn't true, because a caster has lots of options to avoid the tank (stun, root, mezz, kiting, MoC etc) while the tank has... errm... less options. I still haven't managed to kite a bolt.
There's also a major difference in damage output. Casters should do more damage as the tanks has better armour, but the caster damage is just insane compared to what a tank can dish out.

Shame that 10.5m 'real rps' as you call it, doesnt really show.

Uhm, and so what if I took 3 years to get RR8 - It's never been my ambition to get as many rps as possible, the only target RR wise I ever set myself was RR5 - if i'd set myself a target of RR11, I'd be it now - I always meet my targets when I set them, both in a game world and real life, my targets in real life were more of a concern for me than setting myself any game targets.

I'm a casual player, like 90% of people who play this game, I take pride in my ability to help others new to the class, I'm confident what I'm telling people is the correct information, making sure they get the right start on their reaver and I don't need a huge amount of rps to prove this, I didn't have a FG of people with no lifes carting me around some game thinking that someones really gonna care how many rps I have, it's nothing to-do with winning Konah - carry on going around thinking that your special because some random noob kisses your ass becuase you have '10.5m' rps, lol.

Oh and I love how you give me this 'worst, excuses' bit, funny coming from you - A guy who's anal to the bone about running groups, and logs and whines like a bitch when he doesnt get his way. Such a hypocrite.

wth would i wanna MA as a reaver? melee /assist is dead. interrupt and let the casters kill any class in ~3seconds thats the name of the game these days.

Reaver as MA or driver is a perfecly logical option to take up, the reaver has the ability to slam targets, interupt on inc, amongst other things - Which I have explained a thousand times before i'm sure. It's always been the reavers duty to interupt, thats never changed - Yes, damage and burst DPS has gone through the roof for casters, but this has not changed the reavers duty, we have never been and never will be a pure DPS class.

..

Oh, and back to the Scalars bit - The stats do not aid the reaver in anyway whatsoever, base dps just doesnt warrant things like +melee damage. The procs nice but goes off once in a blue moon, and the wolf form is only worth having if your running in a set group, like having CB and I don't see any FC set groups running about lately, do you?
