The battleground animists. The sheer amount of skill it takes to accrue RP's as an animist in the battlegrounds is overwhelming.

Congrats guys, you've earned it!

noone ever takes animist in groups in the BG besides other animists or their guilds. So they have to find a way to get their rps to finish their char which will never be actually taken in any real RVR groups since the class is one big bug.

Greetings

p.s. animist only get rps on this way if they meet dumb enough people to run into the shrooms.

/agree


or people who want to get close enough to take a SS exposing how ridiculous the class is and how you need to have some sort of mental deficiency irl to roll one

Snan made animist work in RvR. The fact that quite a lot of people fail to see it's potential or it's utility doesn't mean that the ones who do have a "mental deficiency irl". Also, animist is useful for pve so plenty of people would roll one for farming purposes.


PS: What's a "mental deficiency" like outside of real life? I always wondered...

I'd like to think only a tool would think that animist is a class that requires no skill to get rps. Don't know many classes where the efficiency can be raised by such a dramatic degree if the player is skilled. Most classes can be played ok without skill, animist is definitely not among them.
Succesful animists have my respect, without baseline stun or mezz it's a hard world out there.

only caster that got root in hib most of the time in bgs druids got better things to do than root also animist has aoe root wich is in bgs pretty nice cause nobody got resis or high det or so and ofc animist is a ruptgod

Spoken like a true hib.

The Animist is by far the least skilled character in ALL of Dark Age of Camelot. End of discussion. GT spam shrooms, thats all they do.

Just ran into CK in braemar, mezzed sylvan -> boom!!! 10 shrooms nuke me, 3 secs later I am lying dead in the dirt.
The Caba I ran with also died within a sec, just before I died
Okay, we both dont have good resists but even with resists we only had two options: stay there and be rupted permanently or run away ... nxt time I'll see shrooms I not gonna donate RPs to that guy

heavy skill involved ;P

But dont get me wrong; Animist in a FG surely is quite hard to play. If they werent that bugged I had started an animist and not a minstrel

You have higher range than shrooms + quickcast. One AE mezz or 2 AE dots (at most) and all the shrooms are useless.
Animists are easy to counter if you have only a bit of skill.

If you run up to a bunch of shrooms and die, you deserve so!

Your problem if you got trapped like fool. Stop QQ

People are admitting dying to animist shroom traps, but the animists are the skilless ones.

Animists belong in a fascinating nature game like Spore.

I'm glad people don't like them in RvR because they are an absurd and ridiculous class that has no place in DAoC.

That is my opinion

Check the herald and search for Stropharia..
The fact is just that u dont want to understand how to use an animist in rvr!
There's one guy that understood and i can tell u how worked (amazing).
Ofc is nerfed as class because dont have Bomber, and because ppl just think about rp leech instead of understand the several utilities that one animist has!

Don't stand in the mushroom field!

Here is a movie of a good animist: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfJ09Ptg8LY

He doesn't GT spam shrooms! Too bad the bomberpets of animists are customnerfed here so we won't see the full potential of animists on uthgard until it gets changed.
