Someone did something bad once so everyone must be doing bad things all the time.

I just want to know my login info for the sekrit cabal user portal so I can start nefariously orchestrating changes myself 😞

Goodness gracious there’s people with less of a life than me? 😳

You forgot the third group: people that were very active PvP’ers that were and still are alienated. Pretending we don’t exist doesn’t tend to be any less alienating. I don’t believe a day is coming when other PvP’ers outside of your sub-community will be listened to, so I don’t believe I’ll be going back. So no worries. Just saying, you’re missing some of the finer details. Yes, i13 was bad. It’s the second-most alienating thing to me about the current PvP meta. Nobody disagrees with you there.

Diantane you crazy bastard you

The pool got a massive net buff in exchange for that slight uptime nerf. You can pry new and improved Sorcery from my cold dead hands 🙂

Is English your first language? What in gods name are you talking about that has anything to do with what you quoted? I am so confused.

The only area I think they might have a point is PvP. I too am suspicious that the devs listen to a very specific slice of the PvP community over anyone else that might have an interest in PvP. But oh well, that’s on the devs. If they don’t want PvP to grow they can keep catering to an insular sub-community all they want. Other than that, every other accusation of white knights or gatekeeping or whatever other meaningless buzzwords they like to throw at the wall… well they appear to be a bullshit scapegoats don’t they. Because the idea that guys like me have some sway over development… well that’s lizard people pizzagate talk right there.

UltraAlt sure. Who else?

I had thought of something more like Symphony/Trick Arrow just to stay all-ranged for max synergy with the cones. Also thought about Symphony/Nature.

Pretty weird to bring up your choice to make donations multiple times. Surely you aren’t implying that your donations entitle you to some kind of special treatment.

So you’re saying you knowingly consume what you consider to be McDonald’s every day. Gross. I suggest you go play with your better burger because I saw something like this on Supersize Me.

I just checked my own numbers and verified that you are all down-thumb n00bs. I'm waiting for my next forum ban to hit as we speak so I guess it makes sense.

You definitely deserve more knife emojis

Well I farm every day so I guess that means I’m in the right per your assessment 🙂

I don’t totally get the raving about the set’s damage unless proc bombs are assumed in multiple cones. Unless I definitely have room to proc bomb the other cones, I feel like I’ll only want the S/T hold and confuse, the cone stun and immobilize, and the pet. 5 powers. Seems like the cone stun with superior damage is more or less the highlight of the set. I will at least proc bomb that one. Just not convinced on bothering with the fear/sleep cones after that.

Haha that’s too much. If you don’t understand that farming is the path of *least* effort in this game, I don’t expect to be capable of agreeing with you on what color the sky is.

Using XP per kill is a dishonest way to measure AE rewards since they are custom designed by players to maximize kill rate. Rewards = Rewards per kill times kill rate. If you aren’t factoring in the kill rate you aren’t actually talking about the activity’s overall rewards.

Reading this tells me that having a discussion with you is impossible, you are living in a fantasy land of your own making. 😉

Because kill by kill xp determines the total rate of return… (fact: it doesn’t)

So many people literally refusing to engage with the facts because they can’t bear any slight reduction in their OP AE rewards. A little sad 😐 Make an argument that you deserve outsized rewards, sure. But maybe engage with the actual arguments on the table because the red herrings stink.

That’s what I’m leaning towards first, Symphony/Storm. Song of Storms vibes 🙂

That’s how gear usually works in MMO’s yeah.

I don’t think it’s a problem that the set is better on one AT or another. That’s true of most of the sets. The reverse of Mind Control’s situation, to say the least.
