Oh it was horrible man, He just kept going on and on about how Invicta ran shroud elite all the time and this is how they did it, with tendonslice and exhaustion.

Then his enthusiasm sounded like acting from some horrid cheap porn. OH YEAH, THATS BEAUTIFUL, THATS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT>

EDIT: Almost forgot, if you have ever had the misfortune to be a pug spot on an invicta raid you can imagine what any raid on elite would be like with them.

Id have to agree with all terrible comments about Mehdick and his whole shit guild... Awfully full of themselves for people who Rarely at best deliver on something worth while.

Hmm, that phrase brings back a recent shroud memory.  I was running with someone who regularly posts here and I just thought they'd be good.  The group as a whole wasn't -- three rounds in Part 2, ahem.  So kinda relieved they were there.

Only they really weren't.  They took a lot of damaging tanking one of the Part 2 beasties, and as I ran around the northeast quandrant spreading my healing love, when they got to half health, ahem, again, they started saying they needed a heal from me and they were going to count down until they died, starting at 10.

Ahem, ahem.  Really now?  If it had been a regular PUGger, I woulda just shut 'em up by healing, and I was about to, but I hesitated, contemplating the hypocrisy of their posts here.  And I do confess that in that moment of reverie, they may have died.

I know, names, names.  That's not my point.  My point is that some of the well-deserved names on this list, like Hesian, talk a huge game and deliver nothing.  I would like the people who talk big in a forum devoted to the actual truth to deliver too, and it's disillusioning that they didn't.  I was rooting for them!  And don't say that on my worst days I could do worse: I know that.  The point is about atitudie.  If you want to get better at this game, and you do, you want to look up to Vault regulars who have a lot of attitude and trust that you can learn from them. 

It makes me ask dangerous questions: like, perhaps the very very best players on Khyber hang out quietly in Free Companions, Ashen, or the elite of Ransack and don't talk big.  The Education of NancyPDoyle: Not All Regular Posters Here Are Uber.  Sigh.  Guess it was inevitable that I'd find that out.

It's funny, I was once described as playing ddo as "if [I] were having a series of small strokes."

And that was when I was playing constantly.

I've gotten worse.

For me the long time away, what I really lost was the ability to effectively and quickly switch between abilities.

I was trying to answer a question on teamspeak last night and I ran off the cliff and died in the lava in Chains of the Flames.  On my TR..  .:shrug::.  Shit happens... 

For me being a good player is about being prepared; having pots, having the best fort possible at your level, having a disease immunity item if your heading to the desert...etc.  Not being a drain on the party...you don't have to be 31337.  Just do your job...

I have a level 15 character I want to flag and a level 13 that will be flagging at some point.

stainer wrote on Sep 14^th, 2010 at 10:58am:


I'd flag my level 14 Monk/FVS but I am still choking on the realization that in order to play him I need to pay 800 TPs for the monk class.

I am so there!  Well, actually I still need a lot of stuff on  many of my lvl20 toons, but I want to run all the new lower level stuff from the last few updates at level rather than on epic or just for favor.  I am gonna TR Tspatula to monk again, just have to run a shroud tonight and craft a hitpoint cloak for him, and then he's getting sent back down to korthos for refinement.  I think he's gonna be a multi TR project. 
  As to epic items, I can't fucking keep up.  I have no idea what epic items I might need or want... well except an epic SoS for my barb, but other than that, I am an idiot.  well I guess I am an idiot about a lot of other stuff too.  T

Agreed a lvl 20 frenzy berzerker will out dps almost any mellee class (my double tr monk/rogue makes me start to doubt though lol) But you take more dmg then anyclass not only because you are gonna get hit everytime but also ever time you hit or get a glancing blow you are doing a 2d3 dmg to yourself.

It is possible to not take dmg as a pure dps, say the mob is prepped and ur just waiting to drop them you can twitch around and or use obstacles to avoid damage, but not everyone has such skills. In this case carry around a tower sheild just for the situations you never know when shit might hit the fan and you need to turtle up.

Since Nancy has no interest in revealing the name, I think it's only right that whomever is the antagonist for Nancy's bunny-rage should step forward and claim responsibility.

I mean really, how many runs in the last week have you had to count down your death from ten and then not get healed out of spite?

Let's go, chopchop.
