Class builds

Poet · Post by **Poet** » Mon Dec 25, 2006 4:18 am

So ..lately there seems to be some confusion about builds on the server and it has led to some funny if not ridiculous shouts.

It is actually a very funny funny thing to hear people say things on shout about a Monk build like "run away". Thank you! That is what he or she is built to do. Monks run. If someone is playing a fighter and kicking some tail, you don't hear someone say "Come back and fight" because they are!

So if you are playing a SD..I would imagine that you would hide. I cant understand someone complaining that you hide when that is what you are built to do.

A mage...casts spells...are they not suposed to cast spells because they may OFFEND someone if it causes them to die in pvp? How silly.

If that's the case then Rogues who use crippling strike shouldnt because someone might get their strength drained..and Bards shouldn't sing because it may lower someones saves...

HOW ABSURD! HEE HEE People need to stop with the shouts about others playing their builds to their potential..it just makes the shouter look silly.
But on a lighter note...

Merry Christmas to All! May your Holiday be filled with Cheer!

Vast majority of a mage's spells have been rendered useless. That's why they use only a select few.

Back in the day -BB- had a monk for running relics around, suicide build strength monk. Someone couldn't catch us, and they got mad and sent me tell that went something like this.

"You better run chicken $h!t, thats all your good for."

Man I love NS4.

I got hit with the "monk" comment by a rather sore IO defender recently. I know exactly what you're talking about.

When I first started playing I used to [censored] about PM Crit immunities. Doesn't bother me anymore, because I finally woke up and found other ways to deal with said builds. Every build has a counter...if you're as good a gamer as you claim to be, you'll find a workaround.

I still complain about dragonshape and summons blocking doorways though, but that's another can of worms altogether

So yeah... nerf timestop

I know there are plenty who will back me up on this... Like only 1x per 10 min. or something like that. Apparently time crystals are so plentiful you can cast TS repeatedly for hours.

So yes the point is that each build has it's strengths and weaknesses. It would be suicide for some builds to even try and stand toe to toe with others so why try. Each person has specific builds they like to play and that is completely up to them. It's all part of the game no matter what tactics they like to use. The only thing I have a problem with is people using tactics that take them out of the game when they know they are going to lose. I am guilty of doing this as a retaliation for it being done to me. Honestly though, let's try to keep it in the game and use the tools that NWN has provided us with instead of having to resort to metagaming tactics. Let the builds speak for themselves and run, cast, fight, and hide to the best of your characters ability. Let's just leave it at that and keep it in the game. No need for name calling when we are all here to just have fun.

TS has turned into the ultimate "i win" button ... aka the any-noob-can-do-it-skill

there were 3 ao TS casters on one night ...and they were so into TS'ing that they began to overlap each other !!1!11!

and there is a problem with that?

i was on the reciving end of those as you were fatz, and to me its a sound tactic.

Game, game, game, game... thats all it is.... have fun and who cares if someone spams timestop.

make a timestop mage and beat them to the punch. done and done.

if you want it nerfed then have everyone make TS mages and spam it all the time, i bet you will find the dm's and devs either change the spell or make crystals as rare as books.

Just disable Time Stop, like it was before. This is a hack'n'slash server, Time Stop has no place here.

Time Stop is a bit annoying, because its a bit noobish. Don't really have to aim it, just pick up a Time Cyrstal (they're all over the place) and cast it. Fun spell when you're the one casting it, but unlike other spells theres no real way to counter it. Or can you use counterspell?
