If you like Speed Boost so much why don't you marry it?

SB plz

SB plz


Man, the Kin on this team sucks!

I ignore people that do the whole "SB PLZ!!!!" thing. Thats just rude. When I play one of my kins I always try and keep SB on everyone. However, yelling at me the second the icon starts blinking...or yelling at me and being *across* the map in a *different* room than the rest of the team?

Bite me.

A kin is more than just SB and I am not going to be anyones personal buff bot. I have no problems giving SB and, like I said, I try and keep it on everyone at all times. But I abhor people who think that just because I am on a kin, that I somehow suddenly become their servant at their beck and call. I will not stop mid-battle and SB you; not if it means keeping everyone else in one piece.

I tell teams when I join: SB should only lapse for a couple of reasons. 1. You are across the map in another room. I will not chase you to buff you. 2. The battle isn't going so well and other powers are needed far more than me SBing you, especially if you have no problems with your blue bar. 3....you scream SB PLZ! at me...especially if you still have the damned SB icon next to your name!

SB plz!!!

SB is a Universal Good, but that's no excuse for pestering someone about it.

It's really simple. If people want speed boost they should go to the most logical place to get it.

Wentworth's or the Black Market.

My mind/kin is my favorite character. I've only run into 1 person hounding me for speed boost constantly. I try and keep it on people but I'm not going to make myself crazy doing it.

Now I've had way more people tell me to NOT put it on them because they hate running into crap all the time... with them I can agree.

I'm pretty bad about giving out SB..on my fire/kin corr, but i spam transference whenever possible, so people constantly have full end.. and FS is active, so they have capped damage.. (which means, you need less attacks to defeat mobs)

Does that work?

Speed Boost is a proper noun.
And, therefore, will not put out unless you marry it.

Pardon me, friend, but might I inquire as to whether you are currently capable and willing to grant me one of your fine super powers that is aptly named Speed Boost, please? : )

If you have time to post, you have time to Speed Boost. Now get your butt back in there and speed boost people. Speed boost NPCs if you have to, I don't care.

Listen, when you picked this power set you entered an implicit contract operate the way other people demand. And if you can't be arsed to let other people tell you how to play when that method isn't fun for you, then you don't deserve fun.

Ooops! Sorry! I thought you asked for Increase Density. What's Speed Boost?

I used to play my fire / kin corruptor. A lot.

But I increasingly ran into people with freakin' keybinds for SB PLZ! that they'd spam every 30 or 45 seconds. They'd spam it 15 seconds after getting hit with the buff. And the people who spam for SB tend to have LoLbuilds for which they're compensating by being annoying. I even had MMs tell me to skip them, but plz sb my petz. I'd have other people who wanted it, but would run clear into other spawns and start up a cascade of inadvertent herding.

I just couldn't stands it no more.

Eventually, I started randomly SBing the spammers. The only thing worse than not being the only person on a team w/o SB? Getting it once every 5 minutes. If they didn't get the hint, I'd ignore them and never ever SB them again.

Unless they were stoners. For stoners, not only would I not SB them, but I'd go out of my way to slap ID on them.

The way I look at it is like this: Kin is a /very/ busy set; there's /always/ a useful button you can mash, and that's not even taking into account my corruptor's secondary. Taking time out to SB someone every 45 seconds to keep 'em happy is time taken away from hitting FS. Or IDing the fire tanker. And I, playing a fire / kin corruptor, could unleash a holy megacrapton of carnage with Fulcrum Shift > AoE immob > RoF > Inferno that, frankly, relatively few toons can ever hope to match.

And, FWIW, if I'm leading a team and someone's pestering a (busy) kin for SB, I'll kick him.
