For the record, Part II

Hey, saw another thread with the title, and thought I'd be a copycat... >.>

Anyway, took a screenshot of the "blue numbers" I see on a regular basis as a human-form 'shade...



*winks at all the "omg human-form play sux" crowd*

Have a great day.

*EDIT*
Also worth noting: Eclipse isn't up.... XD

How do you get the pet window to display for your fluffy?

Wow.

Even with buffs I've never seen those numbers on Revolution of Ruin, my tri-form Warshade.

Amazing stuff, Alien!

If you define sucks by "performs below what a Tri-form shade can do" then yes it sucks.

Lower scalers, same damage and ressist caps and potential to meet them but with worse consistant aoe damage than a squid or dwarf form can put out and no protection from mezz attacks outside of popping pills and getting outside buffs.

If thats not the definition your using then no I think most everyone agrees it does not suck.

Otherwise why would you bother maintaining a second Tri-Form build for when human only isn't enough (by your own admission)?

Or was this just a chance to "try" to thumb your nose at people who don't agree with your choices of accepting a slightly worse off playstyle?

Honestly all I really heard was blah blah blah look at me and my awesomeness *chest thump chest thump*

Please, stop picking fights and trying to dive into the moving spotlight.

Right back at you:

Alien, I am always impressed by what you're able to accomplish, but I can't help but think you'd do even more if you switched into Nova on occasion to really lay down some hurt.

Then simple logic would dictate that you take the forms to keep even an even more diverse and larger number of ways to get a task accomplished?

Heh. You do it your way, I'll do it mine. I keep all my options open from levels 1-50, thank you very much.

Having a lvl 50 all-human PB and a lvl 45 all-human WS I can vouch that these numbers are achievable easily on an 8 person team, probably even a 7 person team with the right set-up.

The WS all-human build is actually pretty stable, it has okay mez mitigation with its stun aura power, and awesome with its AoE's which compliment the human-form's encouragement for large teams.

It's the PB all-human form that is still 'slightly' lacking, but this is in terms of the powers themselves and not the inherit buffing. The PB's damage buffing, and mez mitigation needs a little more help. I know Light Form gives some but that's pretty limited and pulsar can be pretty undependable at times.

But again, don't get me wrong. Human-form on both WS and PB is still very viable, just slightly more viable on a WS in my opinion.

Cappy:

For quite a while, all-human warshades were routinely projected on the boards to be borderline unplayable by quite a few posters who were smug in their certitude and both loud and aggressive about proclaiming their judgments. Some would make posts suggesting that perhaps that point of view is a little extreme, that all-human warshades could, in fact, tie their own shoelaces without tripping, and a dismissive response would follow (from some, not all of course). Some were less extreme in their opinions about the playability of all-human warshades, but no less certain in their judgments.

Even after months and months of evidence coming into this forum, you still have posts that show a deficient understanding of how an all-human warshade can be made into a different kind of character than a tri-form; not lesser, just different, because heavy toggle usage makes switching forms unattractive and brings something different to a team than a tri-form does.

The key difference between an all-human and a tri-form is so simple it can even be stated in one sentence. But opinions, once formed, tend to take a long time and a *lot* of evidence to change.

Wow. I, uhhh....

....I can't add any more to that.

I think that pretty much sums up the purpose of my existence on the boards over the past year nicely.

Knowledge is power, people! Harness it!

O.o
