Awww, you think it's AI. I'd feel flattered but coming from an autistic stance dancer, not so much
Everyone knows I've never played regen. I also only use two health pots and cheap lini's.
To make things worse, I'm a mouse clicker. So when you die to me it's extra funny.
The fact that you had to add me to a post I'm not concerned about, mainly because I dont play the class is telling.
I fear that I have scarred you a bit too much. I guess I'll have to eliminate your character in a much nicer way. Sadly I don't know who you are. No one does.
Your one impact is making Destro 80's.

I'm off of this post so enjoy playing circles with yourself.

This is nonresponsive. As stated: "If you want to argue the anti-Shadow Warrior rework improved the class, make the argument. SW player numbers as well as the overwhelmingly held view is the anti-Shadow Warrior rework went amok."


The attempted retort demonstrates, like most of your posts, an educational failure. I'll illustrate. Commenting on my skill when you do not know who I am is invective void of substance. It is the rhetoric of the desperate.

Your general position when you insert yourself into a Shadow Warrior thread is on aSWs. At one point even indicating aSWs have better burst than WHs (which is farcical and demonstrates you are unserious).

You repeatedly commit a composition fallacy. You confuse a part for the whole. You like aSW, therefore the class is fine.

Per aSWs, my Destro mains are magus and SH. I don't think I have ever been taken down by an aSW. The same for my guildees. ASW are simply a nonfactor. Part of this is because there are so few. (Why are there so few? Because they are inferior to other MDPS which is an indictment of the Devs, including the horrid SW rework Team). Part of this is because they are easy to kill.

ASWs being a nonfactor is why they are a fetish. You being so into this nonfactor mastery makes you a fetishist. You have stated you like to solo with your aSW. You have previously directly quoted from the Devs:

"The priority of balancing in Return of Reckoning is set around group play, meaning any number from 6 all the way up to large scale fights in RvR.”

This means your fetish places you outside the designed parameters. In simple terms: your stance is irrelevant to game design. This is what happens with fetishists. They are divorced from reality.

Per Gogo's two part take down (which is very funny): asserting a thing is AI derived is a genetic fallacy. It is a logical error (this means it is a bad argument). The source of a thing is not relevant. The data is relevant. Gogo speaks directly to your lack of skill. Evidently, you are a fetishist that is bad at his fetish. Gogo's assessment of your skill fits with your posting pattern on the forums. You are argumentative and drive forward with bad positions regardless of the obvious errors that are legion. I can imagine your aSW play is the same. I suggest you spend more time practicing your fetish in game, and less time on the forums where the embarrassment is manifest to all.

I don’t have to argue with you, when you argue with yourself already.

Why play ASW anyway when the other Elf sibling dps class is a superior melee choice even in this ''niche'', more armor, more wounds, better frontloaded burst, much better gap-closing. better cc, better melee detaunt and the list is long. Sure pet bugs out sometimes but the pros are many.

ASW is begging for some adequate melee defences, it melts under pressure like glass WE/WH.

My concern with the SW class is still how they butchered the defences on the RDPS specs, no armor to fall back on, no disarm either, the AOE detaunt is the ''temu'' version of detaunts and is the same ability used for ranged detaunting ( for comparison, check how they treated WP/DoK during their respective healing patches, they gave them a new specific AoE detaunt, whilst keeping the old ranged one on a separate CD, someone in the balance team obviously do not like SW ).

Meanwhile RDPS SH did not get defences butchered like that, ''Balance''. Still some Armor, kabom, etc.

This is also nonresponsive. Read what you actually quote and try again. If you need me to explain logical entailment, I can.

You are not good at this.
