Ode to Archery
I hope they lower the damage on inferno to rebalance the sets.
Then again I play a Traps/DP and a Time/Rad now and I am very happy with them both.
When something good happens to me, I can never enjoy it....
I am always too busy looking for the inevitable punchline...
BEHOLD THE POWER OF CHEESE!
I don't think powersets can read. Much less be aware of concepts such as friendships or relationships.
Unless you were trying to passive aggressively make a subtle statement about the direction the game is going in the shape of a personal letter.
These days, can't be sure what are the intents of someone in the internet. Lots of crazy people into lots of weird stuff hearing lots of weird voices.
But I don't judge. I heard someone married a fruit salad once. I'm cool with that. Ergo, I'm cool with you breaking up with a powerset.
Hey, this isn't an ode at all!
This is a fascinating, almost overwhelming breakthrough to me. I'm a little overwhelmed right now, so please forgive my poor small brain's incapacity to process and accept this outright. Do you have any supporting evidence to support this statement? If you could pair it with illustrations, that'd be really great too, because sometimes I don't read so good (and don't even get me started on my reading comprehension.)

It's been a good run Archery, thanks for the fun times, and RIP.

The powerset which, you contend, is the best set for the best AT in the game, is getting buffed, just not buffed as much as another set, and this is RIP territory?
O...kay, then.
I'll still enjoy Archery just fine
Dear Archery,
Its not you, it's me. Sure, I stood by you, when everyone didn't agree that you were as awesome as I thought. Sure, they thought you were awesome, but not as much as I did. Anyway, I love fire now. Call me k? Don't worry though, I am fickle, I will probably find another already über power set to defend shortly and will toss fire to the side as well. |
I'd wait to move everything to make sure that /Mental survives i24. It'd be terribly inconvenient to have to move everything again.

Why Blasters? Empathy Sucks.
So, you want to be Mental?
What the hell? Let's buff defenders.
Tactics are for those who do not have a big enough hammer. Wisdom is knowing how big your hammer is.
It's a joke thread, folks. Don't take it so seriously.
Wait a second, RIP?

I am a realist, Mr./Mrs./Ms. Hopeling. I respect strength, and my praises for my powerset friends are earned through their exceptional performance. I am not some sort of socialist hippie who believes that everything should unconditionally be treated equally and held in the highest regard whether they earn it or not.
If you are not the very best at a certain field, my powerset friends, it stands to reason that something else is better than you. Archery was formerly the best possible AOE damage that a Blaster could have, which made its weakness in the single target area excusable. Now though, Mr. Fire Blast has surpassed Archery at even that (due to what I feel is newly earned respect, I would like everyone in this thread to start referring to it as 'Mr. Fire Blast,' if you don't mind.)
If Drain Psyche is altered in any way, I'll have you know that I will be performing '#Occupy Praetoria' protests every day in Nova Praetoria until Arbiter Hawk returns to sanity. You're welcome to join me.

This, From the man who has made himself the posterchild for nerfing drain psyche. I don't know if you are serious or not, in case you are I doubt you could have done more to make the devs want to nerf the power.

By the way, thanks for the indirect compliment
Dear Archery,
It's been fun playing you, defending you, and bragging about you all this time. Unfortunately though, it's time for our relationship to come to an end.
It would appear that your brother, Fire Blast, is encroaching on your territory. You see, his nuke won't crash anymore either, and its cooldown will be short enough that Fireball + RoF combined with a less frequent (?) Inferno shall put Fire ahead of you in terms of both burst AOE and AOE over time.
Of course, Fire also does more single target damage than you do, and so it looks like I will be retiring my talked about (some of you might have heard of it) Archery/Mental Blaster and moving all his goodies over to my Fire/Mental.
It's been a good run Archery, thanks for the fun times, and RIP.
