Trick is to always know what's over performing. I call it "where's the bright wizard"

They obviously need to buff warrior and open BG

Every gem in the game was purchased with real money.

Is that simplified enough for you?

What else contributed? Those were my guildmates, they seem to think the ranger solo'd him. I suppose his own squad gets partial credit for watching it happen...

> The fact that a ranger does not take any damage from a dead-eye thief that is a problem

They do tho

Shh we're seeing a day long post in the making... It's like performance art.

Too bad it's a complete waste of homey's time, but its his weekend to blow.

Gems are only available for dollars.

If you buy some with gold, someone else paid you to gold farm for them.. With gems they bought with dollars.

Definitely a better choice than countering with a light field lol.

Of course, most rangers tho...

Dragonhunter destroys theives. Even a poorly played meditrapper shouldn't break a sweat.

There's a few scenarios where not target-locking is a good thing. CoR isn't the only skill that benefits from culling.

But... That's always been a thing <,<

At least I've been swapping utilities and weapons as needed, was that a cheating?

You're elitist for not accepting your character as-is. I bet you even have 6 of the same rune, fascist

You're the last wood league ppt'er

Why don't you assume you're the greatest and leave it at that.

If you miss, it goes on cooldown with no benefit, yes? That's rather in keeping with other skills in the game.

Only if you're tryhard

There's some nutcases claiming they have _dozens_ of builds.. per class.. For pve..

And I'm thinking: don't they know everyone around them doesn't even bother slotting traits?

I can indeed.

It'd be the same balance reset we've already done twice. I can even see the short-term appeal, quarterly success (damn the consequences) is peak 'merica.

Why would you blame the whole community?

One dude thought playing on EU servers gave him some sort of pedigree and he got the inevitable mixed reviews.

By defenders you mean bypassing the fight to get on the wall. Yet people managed this feat before warclaw made it easy.

People got used to the free passclaw awfully quick.

Their path may have suddenly veered

There's normally someone that hates my wife online on every server.. Just have them point her out, I'm the guy following her like a lost puppy.
