  1. all the Operative Dragons quit....except snave...dis game is dead....
  2. My time with this game is ending. I've appreciated the fun. For future reference of PvE for this excellent class, I would refer you to great players like Kesmet (#1 Dragonslayer lol), Philosoraptor, Raulos, et al. Enjoy
  3. i'll take that action. far less imo. maybe 4 guilds by tomorrow will be 4/5. maybe 6 by the weekend. 1 mil creds says im closer you game?
  4. whoa whoa whoa there, big shooter. no one is touting, tirading, or any other verb combo with the letter T. the point is really simply made: #1 - using AP, which is a relatively long CD for EP, which is subpar damage even if it crits will never be worth it over HS with a non-crit/AB combo. you need the AP to recover form the 3rd HS or you will be starved out in a matter of ten seconds or so. that's it. it will always be less damage. there is no exception to this. #2 - are you sure you want to get personal on torparse? because you don't 'beat' me in a single fight on it. nor is that the point. i wasn't talking about personal logs. i was talking about the logs in HM in our given class. i don't always upload because no one gives a **** about HM. from what i see, you have a higher number than me on tyrans, but do you actually think, considering the rest of my numbers in this tier, that i haven't broken 3500? especially on this fight where i actually stay in on infernos because i can place them and still dps whereas you don't as you've stated. really? O_O ** i highly recommend staying in for infernos and finding a sweet spot to continue dps....i believe in you
  5. Aurum Gaming has been clearing this content since last October or whenever the day after 2.4 hit was. No one is being endangered by any of the strats used. If you can't drop an Inferno in a safe place and maintain your dps within the hitbox, I don't know what to tell you and be able to remain kind about it. This content has been such a joke for 6 months now that we've been trying to kill each other during encounters for most of that time to have fun. EP is a detriment to damage in each scenario, except quite possibly, the Raptus one. Consult your local Torparse logs on each boss. The only other time i could see it really being good is on Brontes' fingers for that distant hit between phases when energy doesn't matter. I'm being dismissive because your math doesn't work in cost efficiency, nor are your descriptions of each situation accurate ie. Tyrans. It isn't about not learning something from other people. If Ep was a dps gain for its cost, you'd be correct, but it isn't and you can see the evidence of that in the boss logs and in the abilities themselves. 25 energy for an ability that hits for less than a free one or one that is half its cost does not make for good dps. By all means use it, but you will consistently be scoring approx 2-300 less dps on each encounter that you do because of the sacrifice of solid AP use and energy cost efficiency. It is primarily a PvP ability imo. You MIGHT use it twice per raid night in DF/DP as it stands. In NiM that might change. Like using it on Subteroths from distance.
  6. Tyrans - if you cant place an infernal and still dps the boss as melee, that's your failure. take advantage of his hitbox and drop it on an edge while continuing to dps. CZ - stopping, crouching, EPing instead of running back in will always be a dps loss. even moreso with free rolls coming in 2.7 Calphayus - what? this ALWAYS hits ranged. you're doing it wrong if it doesnt and again, stopping, crouching, and using EP here inside the field is always a mistake. it doesnt require you to stop hitting the boss at all...ever Raptus - this could be the ONLY time EP is valid here The 3rd and beyond HS is much more important than a single EP use. If neither ability crits, HS will still always be a better, more cost effective ability to use in conjunction with AP. You cannot recover from either use naturally with energy. You NEED AP with HS or you will be starved. The utility of HS instead is much better for several reasons: -it hits harder than EP -costs 8 less energy than EP -reapplies AB dot -adds TA -wipes threat If you want to use EP on Raptus for his lightning circle, ok, but every other spot you mentioned is a large dps loss overall.
  7. EP is not worth the gcd for energy. Using AP with it does not make my point moot. AP is meant for the subsequent HS in a tight rotation. Point out a mechanic in current content where you are out of position because of the mechanic and not because of personal error that it would be good to use 25 energy or that requires melee to stay away. The only time EP is a cost effective ability is when you have to run out of a group from a debuff of which you wouldn't need to use AP while gap closing. I can't think of a PvE fight in this tier that forces that situation. EP is great in PvP. When it hits for normal damage it's around 4-5k, which is less than a Shiv crit. If it crits, it crits in the 8k area, which is about the same as a Lacerate crit-ish and less than most BS crits, both cost much less than that ability.
  8. eh....i dont think EP is worth it. It hits slightly harder than Shiv and less than BS and the GCD isn't worth the 25 energy even with AP available imo. it doesnt make sense in concealment considering what lacerate and BS hits for for much, much less energy.
  9. it might be, but none of those upper DR stats are achievable without sacrificing something major. crit is extremely finnicky in this game. in my sig is a guide for concealment. enjoy.
  10. no....500 crit is ridiculous....no more than 260...no alacrity...it's an instant cast class, there is no need. 260 crit-ish, all the rest goes into power/surge and make sure you are accuracy capped.....and slap the people who told you 500 crit for me please
  11. Thank you Although, Im not sure what you mean in the last sentence. I pair AB with RS because it typically happens right before BS and the two sort of cancel each other out followed by a free BS which allows for some nice regen. Everyone has their own preferences where to pair it, but I feel like this gives the best bang for your buck in terms of energy return.
