So two dev hammers with grasping earth and counter blow isn't honorable?

Oh yes, that too. Annoying as it is though I'd rather play against goth spike than some of the other crap listed.

Keep playing/training and try and be good at something. It's better to be good at one profession than average at everything imo. Eventually people will recognize you and know that you're a good <insert profession here>

To the guy who was camping sin's apply poison with ddagger: If that is all you were doing it's a bit lame. But if you were interrupting his apply 24/7 and still could perform your role in your team then you're not a bad player imo.

Build variety isn't one of the strengths in team arenas, there is pretty much online "balanced" the rest are basically gimmicks.
And generally when a balanced with 69 wins or so loses to some dual healer team or hexway someone might throw out bad words.
It's just that every build except balanced builds has either massive healing, massive defense, mass hexes, unblockable attack spam or just run-around-for -8-minutes-after-a-kill builds.

It's sad if people in "my club" call you shitter or lamer if you're a cool guy though

Well here's the problem with TA, it's so dead that's it's impossible to take seriously at all unless you're one of those people was was / is dedicated to it when it didn't suck balls. So you go in there once or twice a month with something retarded like 3 assacasters with toxic shock and a BB, have your laughs and then come back next month. That's not really a format it's just a pit stop for laughs.

Carrygon builds will become dominant seeing that LC is somewhat less playable in TA.

That is nonsense and you know it :P

The Warrior can be replaced by an Assassin, or a Dervish for instance, and it's still balanced. If you couldn't do that, then it wouldn't be a balanced team.

And the whole matter is highly childish, play what is the most fun to you at the very moment, be it 4 W/R with Melandrus Resilience or Defy Pain just to kick a balanced out ^^

Just turn off the local chat, play with nice openminded people.. oh wait they're all gone.

warrior cannot be replaced by an Assassin or Dervish: the former will be linebacked to death (some people run bonettis on sins if they want to abuse a template in a balanced build), the second has no kd's and will be linebacked to death.

An easy to play paragon bar, which you can throw a bad player on and still have a moderate success rate. Usually devoid of anything like pspike, which actually makes a para require half a brain.

Dervs do come with some utility of course, such as cripple and whatnot, but that can be done better by someone else if you really want cripple. D-shotting derv attacks is very easy, theyre sluggish. They DO crank out big damage, but only when they're left alone. Noone with a brain will do that.

About sins, they hardly pose a threat when shut down and they're unflexible due to attack chains and all.

Warrior are durable shock troopers that don't lose their threat-factor, even when they're heavily shit on they're still nasty.

Balanced != 1 melee, 1 ranger, 1 caster, 1 monk
Balanced = flexible build that can change tactics from one moment to another.

TA balanced doesn't exist, keep necro on the ground and ranger busy and you win, not my idea of flexible, but meh, it's more balanced then other builds played there.

In the end idc, run w/e crap you want and have fun...
