Looking back over the last week >>>
I play a gimped toon > a theurgist, great, possibly best ever support mage class, mezz, aoeroot, soloroot, pbt, run speed, combat speed and damage add. What a class - err did I mention pets - not great in RvR unless you get real lucky and nukes - well at 43, with a 41 ice nuke (base) and still only level 21 air spec nuke I pop out 150 or so on a red through to 250ish on a blue and 300 or so on a green - compared to others --- crap BUT 2 sec to cast so I get a lot out.
Anyways the scene is set > back to the story > last few nights, been runnin round DF and the frontier a lot - doing silly things like trying to take keeps in middle of a hippie / middie war etc. So have seen a fair bit of rvr from keep take and defence through to one group fighting up to hippie merchants and back out again and multi group action.
During this had some fights - at shredders in DF - a red con (50) norse came and took group out before dieing (thought he was a soultorn mob at first - grrrrrrr lesson learnt) through to nukin down a kobold caster in 3 hits then dieing to their partnered chipmonk/badger zerker. Runnin down hippies in odins gate and scrapping a bit, and fighting mids around a keep.
And the whole point of this drivel - fun!! I enyoyed it, even gettin killed in DF or beaten down by the ratzerker, even when dieing it was fun. There was a challenge - can I get them (or help get them) before I die - will our group be fast enough - lying dead cheering on the last cleric standing trying to beat a celt druid/warden/ranger whatever (he failed but good fight). Now some of these fights were balanced, some were quick and bloody ........
BUT BUT BUT BUT
what I hate is area stun (cant be mezz 'coz we couldnt move when hit) and then we stand there like total wazzers and let a group of hippies walk up - no need to run - and gut us down.
Tell me - how do you feel when you cut down a group of immobile non-fighting, non running toons ??
Do you get any real thrill of the kill from it or is it just oh look - lets 'pharm' a few more RP's.
Sorry but the only thing that bugs me is this bloody instant cast mezz/stun crap - nothing against root - at least I can fight back, nothing against single target stuff - at least my mates can help or get revenge
But it just pisses me a bit when I have to just stand and die - honest opinion - I dont think I would get as much fun from it as runnin down and nukin/slashing a mobile active toon. Yes, I am aware that Albs can do this a bit as well but it seems a greater tool for hippies and even middies. It just bugs me that there is a
style of attack in the game for which there is no real defence.
Well lets see what you all think about controversial topic #1 for the week
