I have/had one on live much easier to temp with DS items

I never realized how broken reaver is until I played mid. 300-400 dmg a pop on cap speed, lolz

reaver are fun. If i approach amg solo sometimes (no joke, i do that from time to time) i often get slam and die in the 8 sec from a reaver. This always fascinates me so much i do not even want to use purge and instead be happy together with the reaver.

On the other hand, my Reaver (lvl 49, cap temp though) gets killed in stun by SB without a chance to use IP Got no purge2 yet. So I guess, even with all those "unbalanced" and op classes, there still seems to be some rock, scissor, paper mechanism working.

Also my lvl 50 minstrel mostly gets pwned by SB /NS even with ra dumping (sos, ip2, purge1, heal pots) as they purge insta stun almost all the time.

no leviathan hurr durr

And dying in stun to assassin is not because of rock paper scissors situation, unless the entire server is paper and viper assassins are the scissors

As long as I have no purge, it doesnt matter whether I got levi or not

Hm, but you re right... but maybe Shammy survives stun?^^

it is weird how the same SB hasn't beat me once(solo that is) due to mechanics, but I can't kill a stinking Reaver because of damn shield..

Paper, Rock, Scissors... Every class has classes they are strong against and classes they are weak againts. Then on top of that you also have play style matchup issues. Back when Dexx was playing his Inf on a regular basis he claimed he had a harder time vs my ranger than he did vs Ronia, even though I know for a fact Ronia is twice the ranger I ever was. It was just that Ronia's playstyle was a bad matchup vs Dexx where mine worked a bit better. That what I love about DAOC! No matter how bada$$ you are there is always a class/playstyle that can beat you and make you look stupid.

Btw I am not talking about thid, but DF and some mean lvl 50 SBs with decent RR.

I would like to remind everyone this thread is supposed to be about the stealth zerg event this upcoming Sunday at noon (CST-American 7pm CET). I dont mind the slight derailing, but I just want to remind everyone what this thread is really about. Be there or be square.

Bump again for all the stealthers out there!! See the OT or the above thread for details!! Hope to see you out there.

Hib has 6 so far, see you guys there

*edit* - where are we meeting in OG?

we shall meet where the first arrow hits your face ^^

All in all I would say this went very well. Hibs had around 10-12 at the start and whipped the Mid's 8-10 pretty badly at AMG. We came back and apparently Albs came with a fg and kill most the Hibs. The action moved to HMG. We went there and killed the Albs, then killed some of the Hibs before we got over ran. After that there were several back and forth fights that occured at HMG with all 3 realms coming out on top at some point. Then the pot of gold showed up down the road and action moved there and was pretty intense. Alot of Visi's showed up at that point and it was a pretty good time all around.

The only bad thing was that at the beginning some visible Hibs were enjoying alot of free RP's camping the HR and preventing the Mid stealthers from getting to Odins. We found a way around and eventually had some real good stealther warfare. Maybe we try this again down the road and maybe try Hadrians Wall instead since Albs will have minstrils to at least get back quickly and avoind HR campers in the future.

Thanks to all the Hib, Alb, and Mid stealthers that showed up and made this work. It was fun and look forward to the next one!
