Ebon dust. Here's the perfect linebacker ready made right here, take it.

Keep in mind that a derv with ebon dust will also be able to use any misc. melee attacks we might pick up and stuff also.

ebon dust for sure. empathy does not have a similar effect at all. Sure, it will deter a warrior from using frenzy. Sure it may deter a warrior from using auto-attacks (non-skills) if his team is under a lot of pressure. Empathy, however, is much less effective against deterring an assassin's attack chain or deterring a dervish from using their high-powered attack skills such as victorious sweep, chilling victory, etc. Empathy also does nothing to prevent a ranger from using an interrupt, crippling shot, or debilitating shot.

I am going to say divine boon.

Thom Bangalter · Dec 05, 2006, 06:52 AM // 06:52

is that prenerf energizing finale?

no?

dang.

My vote is for crippling anguish, because we probably won't see a ton of hex removal, and if nothing else you have a ganker ready to go.

Bankai · Dec 05, 2006, 07:08 AM // 07:08

Hard decision between Divine boon and Crippling anguish. Will have to choose for Crippling anguish though.

LightningHell · Dec 05, 2006, 11:35 AM // 11:35

Crippling Anguish, but we need one more vote.

Come to this thread...we got scooters.

Choosing for Parasitic bond for awesome hex-covering action.

Div · Dec 06, 2006, 08:42 PM // 20:42

hrm, so did we end up taking crippling anguish or divine boon for that last draw?

if we took crip, then i'd go with parasitic bond and we have a good me/n

if we took boon, then i'd go with edrain no questions asked

sad to pass up dist blow and barbed trap though

Thom Bangalter · Dec 06, 2006, 11:08 PM // 23:08

Screaming shot.

Div · Dec 08, 2006, 12:57 AM // 00:57

Not enough of a majority.

Distracting Blow

Thom Bangalter · Dec 08, 2006, 07:56 AM // 07:56

btw, when some good dervish skill comes up let me know, because I'm really unfamiliar with the class, other than I know Avatar of Grenth is a pain in the ass. So Let me know if I should vote for that.

Dblow=win.
