One thing that kinda caught me (and not really in a bad way) was that Hawkeye is using just a regular recurve bow. Granted, it IS a sort of "tech-y" looking bow, but I'd have pictured him using some super tricked-out compound bow. It does look pretty cool to me & I'm not about to lose sleep or start throwing furniture over it. It just wasn't what I expected. Didn't he use a compound bow in his bit in "Thor", or am I mis-remembering stuff?

So, does anyone know if "The Incredibly Strange Creature Who Stopped Living And Became Mixed Up Zombies" was ever put on DVD? That was probably the only episode if MST3K that was almost painful to watch, even with the riffing going on.

Quote:Yup yup. Playstyle conflict sums it up nicely. As for the Accuracy/heal bit, it's been a while since I gave the ol' Warshades a go, so I can't remember exactly what it was off the top of my head. You probably have a better grasp on their powers. I should note that I was trying to play my WS in the same way that I did with my PB, that is, as a human only build. I did take Nova form just for flight, but in the end I still felt like I was stuck taking a power that I didn't want in order to get the mode of travel that I did. I just never felt like turning into a floating octopus or the bizarre love child that resulted from some kinky romantic tryst between a rhino and a lobster. Ah well....opinions vary.Originally Posted by Justaris
Sounds like a playstyle conflict, which is perfectly reasonable as a reason not to like/play something. The only thing I'm keying in on is the mention of accuracy in a heal - that sounds like you're referring to Essence Drain or Black Dwarf Drain, which makes me wonder if you were using Stygian Circle on your Warshade. +HP and +End for every fallen baddie around you, no accuracy needed (though it does, as you noted, require baddies around. Defeated ones, but baddies nonetheless). -
Personally, I love playing a PB. So I've never deleted mine. I have, however, deleted all my Warshades (I think I've given them about 3 tries now). I want to like them...I really do. They seem so cool, I love their energy effects (that dark purple/black just looks AWESOME!!!), I like their slow (or whatever their powers do inherently....I forget at the moment). I want so badly to be able to like them.....but I just can't. I really dislike teleport as a travel power (though I could possibly get over that if they'd just let Warshades take hover!!!!). And I can't get over the fact that their heals & rez powers are so reliant on having baddies around in order for them to work. When I need to heal, I NEED TO HEAL!!! I don't want to worry about having enough accuracy slotted in the heal power so it'll actually hit some baddie (that I had to target in the first place) and pop the heal off. I want to just be able to click on "heal" and.....well, heal. It makes me kinda sad that I can't get past those mental hurdles & really get into playing a WS. But, I'm having a blast with my PB.

If I may ask, what's the name of that SG? Assuming you're currently accepting recruits, that is.

I agree with FourSpeed. I think that the cool purple energy blasts that the Warshades have look better, but I MUCH prefer flight over teleport, and I'm not too keen on the WS heals and rez powers being dependant on having enemies around. So.....I gotta cast my vote for the Peacebringers.
