I miss my aerial jetpack duels.

Stop bitching about losing points for the sake of honor.

Although it's true, many times if I let someone go they'll go right off and gank an ally.

On a side note, my teams almost always win 4v4 and rarely wipe.

Stop acting like you're the best player in game.

That's because I heal so goddamn well

Haha I just realized that you were Alex, I'm Sushi Buffet :P

Personally I don't seem to remember you ever letting an easy kill go, but meh.

It's more like, if someone on the enemy team catches my sympathy I'll be nice to them.

i should probably just make a new thread, but i'm lazy. here's me playing assassin.

same style as the others. i seem to have finally figured out the right combination of codec and resolution. this vid looks much clearer than the warrior one.

Oh man okay story time:

Was playing ab with some friends, one of them is like "hey let's run omegaspike". So we ran omegaspike, turns out it works with only 4 people.

Instagibbing people, instagibbing monks, instagibbing kurzicks in front of their healer monk. It was cute, whenever we'd spike you could tell the person didn't quite know what had just happened.

I'd teleport to someone and they'd just drop dead. Even augury spiked some dude on my spear set.

Wanted to youtube it, this is how to play warrior in ab hahaha.

But it's hard to call spikes on ancestral.

moriz, start running coward. PRage sucks anyway.

Lux Aeterna · May 20, 2009, 03:00 AM // 03:00

PRage does not suck

Bobby2 · May 20, 2009, 03:04 AM // 03:04

I think it does. The recharge kills it. Frenzy has so much more going for it now.

Lux Aeterna · May 29, 2009, 11:37 AM // 11:37

^Not really. That's what they said when it got nerfed but now I see rawr using it in gvg and I'm scared it'll get nerfed again.

Many times I never notice the difference, on average it makes me lose a tiny bit of damage once per round but the benefits are SO worth it. It gives you more bar space, doesn't chew energy like frenzy, and makes for terrifying bull's strikes.

Since there aren't ever spikes in AB except for the guild team once a year, you can often kite damage without cancelling if you get hit within the first few seconds of activating PR.

Bobby2 · May 29, 2009, 05:35 PM // 17:35

PRage doesn't let you run Coward, Frenzy does. Besides if you have energy problems it's likely because of Shock, not Frenzy.

And don't you dare diss on Coward.

Lux Aeterna · May 30, 2009, 05:58 PM // 17:58

^ doesn't hit for 100.

Also I barely use shock, so the energy problems are from frenzy --> rush --> frenzy --> rush.

I see GvG warriors positively hobble in pursuit of fleeing targets due to frenzy's non-IMS, something which I'm really unable to do, and as a result I'm out of energy due to constantly switching stances.

Think of it like this:

When attacking one target who isn't kiting or protted, you're operating at 100% efficiency

When people kite, the time you spend running around will drastically decrease your efficiency, by a factor of 50% if you have to spend half your time between targets.

Attacking a protted target, or spending too much time chasing due to lack of IMS will both reduce your damage output and thus your efficiency as a damage dealer.

I'm having fun playing an Earthshaker in AB, I don't see enough of them.

Currently I'm having fun with 13 strength (100 armor, including elemental damage, with all the eles), 13 hammer, 6 Earth Magic.

Bar looks like this;

Bullstrike, Earthshaker, Pulverizing Smash, Heavy Blow, Grasping Earth, Flail, Enraging Charge, Lion's Comfort.

The build synergizes really well with a nuker ele following me around. I group Snare + KD while the ele drops a Savannah's heat.

Bobby2 · May 30, 2009, 06:33 PM // 18:33

@Lux: Bull's and Coward are not mutually exclusive. [email protected] if raw speed is your thing?

I'd change pulverizing / heavy to crushing / bash. The way you've got your attack chain set up, you won't be able to quarterknock which can be quite essential.

Also rush is a very underrated skill on hammers, for reason listed above (increasing damage via reduction of time between targets).

It's also pretty funny watching top50 warriors miss bull's strike, or spam dchop on kiters.

bungusmaximus · Jun 05, 2009, 12:38 PM // 12:38

People play warriors in AB without endure pain? You NEED endure pain on every good ab warrior bar, and tons of even more defense.

I hurd dolyak signet was gud.

moriz · Jun 05, 2009, 09:55 PM // 21:55

yeah, i forgot bonetti's defense also. and riposte.

Darth The Xx · Jun 05, 2009, 10:15 PM // 22:15

I didn't know non DP warriors existed in AB, they make for funny attackers, "Yes silly DP war try smash through my guardian with your pathetic 20 dmg auto attacks!"

Lux Aeterna · Jun 06, 2009, 04:34 AM // 04:34

^ Luxon side has a strangely high proportion of shock axes.
