Which is easymode?

[illu]

Easymode I suppose is the chance of killing, getting lots of RP and staying alive.

Comparing fighting solo style, solo assassin vs. solo caster.

Assassins can kill some casters quite easily, but a lot of the time they will then be instakilled. Close up, Assassins with purge3 have a "chance" against casters. But they are up against loads of different nasty counters like Stun/Mezz/SoI/MoC/Traps/Speedwarps/Pets that chain stun, or see through Vanish, or heal the Caster/The Buffs that turn cloth into Concrete/Insta-chambers.
Assassins who are over RR7 and in groups of 2+ is Easymode.

Casters at range can destroy most assassins. Close up, they dump whatever they can to make that range up and then kill.

I think it takes less effort to make a decent caster, than it takes to make a decent assassin. (Template and Item and ML wise).

Also, buttons wise, for most fights casters seem to use a minimal amount of buttons. Basically Mezz/Stun LT LT LT LT. Assassins whilst "choosing" their fights, need to get past pets and brittle guards (it's harder than it looks to land a perfect PA) and they press at least 3 or 4 buttons :> PA+CD+(SS)+garotte+garotte+garotte :>

Overall I think the casters just edge it. And the proof is simply look at the RP table at the end of every evenings play. Guaranteed there are more casters (the ones not in groups) that have more RP than the assassins.

Oli - Illu

PS And it's easier to leech with a caster :> Archers can too, but they are more squishy.

Ehm... This recently changed then ? Because I remember critshotting some poor SM and the pet intercepted and took like 10% of the pet :O

Maybe you should spec higher than 1+9 bow

 

[luribeauty]

But what is the point of the this pull ?

You havent given any parameters for the pull, just throw out a strange question.

Stealthers who kill nothing but casters in solomode = easy mode
Casters who only kills stelathers in stealthmode = real hard mode (since you cant see them its pretty hard to earn rps)

Was that what you were asking ?

Im guessing you are just after getting some sort of pointless score across ?

Stealthers are easy mode quite alot of the time (basically all the time if you just discount all other stealthers in the game. Since you can choose your fight and no one can find you)

Casters are easy mode quit alot of the time. (in serg/siege fights mostly)

But to compare the two without giving a given set of parameters to judge from is...with running the risk of beein obvious...well stupid...

/Charmangle

ps. Abit drunk and pissed as hell so abit coloured comment...im sorry about that mate disregard the irony etc I just need something to let out some steam at..ds

well ive talked crap when drunk and this poll was just made in a bit off fun me and evers are still very best off friends

A lot off the time u can choose youre fights but its the archers that actually stop u doing that due to mos5,camo, and sometimes a spike they have set and same with casters.

Have to admit we have it a lot better vs casters now but that is only coz off the brittle guard nerf not any pa dmg.

anyway like i said just a bit off fun was not after flames them wanting to should just not post.

 

[Thadius]

Where is the poll option for Hibernia?

Thats too damn easymode ;p

 

[Z^^]

its a casters game. 100ways to cripple or reduce melee dmg and only a handful of way to reduce caster dmg, main one being interrupts and u can buy an RA that counters that quite nicely... MoC.

with all the anti-melee shit in game now they should take a good hard look at bg/grapple because imo some adjustment is needed there. also should be alot more chance ways to reduce caster dmg such as magic ablatives etc as well as more anti-magic artifact charges/mls/cls.

tanks with bls down are pretty much free rps atm.

konah you always had your bl down then? /wave /hug:touch:

konah you always had your bl down then?

ye 10.5m rps, 99% as ma of a fg tank grp, i guess they musta been. such savage pl.

btw.. we all whine about our problems here.. and still 1000 million people wake up every morning not been able to get fresh water.
180 million children die every year from diseases already cured in the western world
i could go on.

contribute to save the children foundation if you care..

We dont care... If they didnt die we would have been overpopulated in this fucking planet so someone has to die to keep the balance on earth... Cruel but REAL. GO to greenpeace or www.giveurmoneytoshitdonations.com if u want to post things like that in the rvr section imo. unless its relevant with rvr .

I make things easymode! It comes with being great and all... really :<

I feel the same way
Assassins can't beat me
Casters got 50% resists and 3k hp to get through
Testudo and Fury.

 

[living]

Easymode is prob 3 diff things depending on what realm you are playing.
hib: baseline stun
alb: sorc bolt range area mess
mid: hmmm since WL is out of the rvr game im not sure. il give pac healers a shot with insta area stun insta area mess.

You keep repeating how many rp's you have... is this important to you at all?

 

[Pirkel]

Maybe you should spec higher than 1+9 bow

It's impossible to have 1+9 bow. When you are high enough level to have +9 autotraining would have kicked in.

So obviously you meant 12+9

</smartass>

 

[Svartmetall]

THIS is the real Easymode!

He's even called Easymode, it must be true!

 

[Profion]

Right player on the right class makes it OP.

 

[Octo]

Theres several versions of casters though.. Id say any lifetap caster is easymode.. but non LT caster have hell against an assassin now.

You could argue that bl's would be op'd vs baseline stun ^_^

 

[charmangle]

Hehe as I said was just the boose and bad timing talking...

well ive talked crap when drunk and this poll was just made in a bit off fun me and evers are still very best off friends

Hehe Yea sorry about that rant...was just in a bad mood and drunk as a skunk!

And yep what makes life hard for stealthers is ofc serg and other stealthers. If we where talking a pure 1 on 1 situation in an otherwise empty area Id put my money on the assassin as long as they are about even in RR and the caster isnt just sitting in his Stealthdetecting node waiting for something to happen!

But for standard rvr with either sergs or alot of stealthers around Casters are alot easier to earn rps with in my opinion.

And keep up the posting...Its ALOT more interresting than Grats threads 24/7!

Sorry again for the rant...bah never drink when you are in a bad mood, it really doesnt improve your happy thoughts!

[Gondath]

It's kinda ironic how casters certainly are powerful in this game, yet most of those who complain over them wouldn't cut it for 5 minutes if they triedplaying one themselves

lmao..

this is quoted from that link.

""Due to the Zerg's unique use of overwhelming numbers, the word "Zerg" (verb) or "Zerging" is the act of using mass numbers to achieve an objective, and it has become widely accepted in a variety of other games, including Warcraft III, World of Warcraft, Dark Age of Camelot, and other multiplayer games.""

so true tbh!

You keep repeating how many rp's you have... is this important to you at all?

if you had 10.5mill they'd be important to you too... but, ofc, you don't.

i didnt complain, much, i just rerolled to easymodekillanyclassin3or5s because my merc couldn't anymore... and i'm all about the killing.

</smartass>

Afraid you are wrong:

You dont automatically train bow to 12 minimum if your archer is /level'ed. And obviously hunters

 

[Nuklear]

Infils are easy mode

end of story to be honest
