This was a reply to outlaw's whine thread, as someone suggested I made it a new post so people might actually read it.
The last week the whines about Grouppurge have become insane. According to the whiners they have Grouppurge every other minute and use it on anything ranging from ae mezz to a 40% single snare. In defense most hibs are trying to reason that albion has the same capabilities as hib but they just suck. Now i can't really deny that, but I think there is a lot more potentiel in alb as they would like us to believe. Even so I don't think there is much point in argueing the current balance of power. Hibs are the strongest, Albs the weakest and Mid something in between closer to hibs then to albs.
Anyways..... for the LA / GroupPurge whiners.
LA doesn't win due to grouppurge. They are a group of very good daoc players brought together and given some of the best classes / combination there are. Imo they win due to multiple factors.
- They are good
- 6 sec Bt on a chainwearer (they all spec the lines anyways so everyone has 6sec version, and they can survive a couple hits)
- Highest magic resist of the game (their +res buffs are in specc lines that ppl were speccing even before all the +res buffs)
- CC and healing on different chars, although midgard has better cc without doubt, in order to get that no healer will ever be able to heal u for more then 300hps (without crits). Hib has their CC and their healing on different chars, allowing them for great cc AND uber heals (700hps a heal anyone?) Naturally it's also easier, U need heals and CC and u have 2 people doing that instead of 1 person (healer) who just can't do it all at the same time.
- Best tank class, hero's make sweet damage and life so insanly long. I know zerkers are great damage dealers but they just can't take as much pounding.
- Baseline stun on casters, although it's wasted on tanks in general a 9sec stun on my rm still lasts 6sec which is more then enough to kill me (pbt stops when stunned / mezzed unless u got another pbt'r)
- Atm they are the only realm with end song which is awesome and allows tanks to use thier damage potentiele to the fullests.
- And yes, Grouppurge helps, so does the bugged chanter RA
K what is going to happen in the near future.
- other realms will get end song allowing especially mid tanks to go rampage since mid gets probabaly the best versions of end regeneration.
- High realmranks tanks will become godlike, pure tanks will have some of their most used RA's decreased in points allowing them to have an even higher chance to crit or even more life. This will also make lower RR tanks more deadly as they will be able to get a lot of the most needed ra's sooner.
- Resists will become even higher although u won't notice much of that on the elite players, since those are the players who alrdy have the best gear. But a lot of ppl running around in gimped noob gear now will certainly increase their res dramatically with spellcrafting introduces.
- Casters are also getting a hard time due to the fact that in next patches u can no longer turn when u are mezzed or stunned, Allowing opponents to use their insanly difficult -untill now- sideopening styles. Styles who are among the most damaging in the game. And ofcourse u'll be PA bait...though there are few assasins with the guts to show themselves in the mids of a group vs group fight.
- Casters will also become even more interupted.. T_T
everyone can have charges on their gear allowing ppl to insta interupt at huge distance (just use a low lvl version to reduce the cost, a lvl 15 charge will also interupt)
Other then that i'm fine OKTHX, imo the way of the future is the way of Melee. I do not like what Mythic is doing to the game and i do hope they will see that their are some serious issues that need to be resolve (I have no idea why they don't buff alb a bit, they are a joke atm nothing more nothing less. and need some lub)
Anyways
let's see some more rampage from LA, although I hate fighting against it, it does remember me of the best days of NP ownage (53k without dying once anyone ? )^^
(yes, this is my opinion. Feel free to blame gp anyways)
