DARK PRIEST

You might be thinking, won't this guy ever learn, he's pathetic. Well, you're right in thinking that.
Pathetic is what pathetic does. For you less educated folk, pathetic means sucks.
When you read the profession's name, you must have thought back to WoW immediately. It's a shadow priest!
Yes, you are absolutely right, it's 100% like it. I mean, it even has an innate Shadow form, talk about imba.
The class like previous ones made by me, is a total abhorrent. I hope to whatever god you worship that ANet or
anyone with authority never sees these scrambles. I think I'm being banned from the forums as we speak.
No one should read such garbage as comes from my touches on a keyboard.

That aside, the Dark Priest is a rip-off, a plagiary, a con of the uttermost levels of stupidity.
I'm sure you have seen it in D&D. It uses animated Idols to add some flavor to it with not much success.
People will know it instantly for the fake it is. And what a fake its maker is, just a cheap for fame.

It is primarily a Staff user, in melee. Yeah, and in papery armor too. But it sucks anyway so no one will bother
to even acknowledge its presence on the battlefield. Who would want it in a party anyway, if not in the enemy party.

The Dread attribute line gives it some terrible and boringly named pseudo-skills with no real use.
They are there just to give an impression of something happening. Like governments. Or children's playgrounds.
Speaking about children, not even the most left-behind child would ever wanna use this class.

Moving on to Misery, you will immediately recognise it as a rehash of existing Necromancer and Mesmer skills.
If you have to, vomit. So, nothing of worth there.

Idolatry. Now, you may know the word from bible, it means worshipping idols. It's said to be bad, but hey, everybody's
doing it nowadays. Anyhow, this attribute contains the use and reuse of these little Idols.
They come animated in quantities of a few when you have skill equipped. If you read my Demonologist presentation,
you will know they suck as hard and long. Idolatry is neither a word though like Demonologist isn't either.
If you use these Idols, be prepared to be a 55 monk cos you'll have the whole map coming at you. Instantly.
This comment might make you think this class would make it a great farmer,
but you are utterly wrong, as wrong as I was when putting touch to keyboard.

These little fellas are only good for one thing, and that's taking up a skillslot.
You can give them some boosts and add effects to them, and you can immobilize them making them turret like.
Of course, there's the ritalinist on whose toes I'm stepping now. These set in place Idols then can have some
AOE effects places around them, but you knew that already.

I don't know. It's kinda meh. And I know, but why out paragraphs on something no one will bother with anyway.
I mean, even the way it is as text must be burning your retinas and making your eyes bleed.
Too long to read changed to to too boring to even look at. And painful.

Change the name.. I've noticed about the names of gw profs is that they are one word things.

Not A Fifty Five · Oct 27, 2006, 07:58 PM // 19:58

MLeagh. Dread and misery skills are basically necro skills. And hell idols are close enough to minions, most of the skills do the same things.
