true story bro

jajajajaja

[Chase]

.. but for real, channelers are too strong. Chill, burn, 4x immolate, 5x create fire all in 1 tick? Soooo much sps

[Harry]

I don't think that's even possible with the timer lengths of those various weaves...

[Chase]

Maybe 2 then. Either way, channelers are sick now.

[Harry]

use hard to channel rooms, use mobs, you can't beat everyone 1 on 1 handheld bladefag.

[Racyn]

C HE CAL EVRY1 A FAG AGEN

BANNER HIM

[Chase]

Yea Im totally handheld. Good argument Harry. Because I am handheld, my point is moot.

[Harry]

i wish i could stop jokingly insulting people so they'd understand my post the first time.

you're a blademaster. you're in combo and you bash. in 1 on 1 situations just about any character wouldn't stack up well against you before. now that channelers have more potential of being the glass cannons that they should be, you're going to have to adjust your tactics. use mobs, use hard to channel rooms, etc etc. you can't just overpower every character/class in the game.

[Chase]

I am hardly saying I should beat everyone at all. I was just commenting on the fact that channelers have been boosted significantly. I have heard multiple people say this as well so I decided to add to this discussion, even if it was started in jest. But yea you are right, because I had trouble getting a channeler to hurt, I am only looking out for myself. And whos to say I did not use those tactics you describe? I certainly did. But anyway if Fogel likes it as it is I am fine with it.

Maybe what I should have done is post using another character like you do, then my words wouldn't be looked at as a "Im not overpowered enough" post.

[Harry]

all i know is it takes one bash at a patty and channelers r ded. i'd like to see the hard channel rooms returned to being no-channel rooms though.

[Harry]

harry is a channeler? wat?

[Gestahl]

on a serious note, I think Blaze and Decay may be a little too cost efficient and/or too gay. I love using them, but getting hit with them while low and then helplessly watching yourself die must be really frustrating

[Tristan]

That's the point of channies though lmao

[Kathryn]

We could make a counter to blaze. like roll in pond or something. There's plenty of water rooms around.

[Gestahl]

new thief skill: stop, drop and roll

[Schitz]

I'd been using blaze, but someone told me yesterday it was only doing 2 hps per tic. :P Someone confirm?

[Chase]

2 hps per each emote thing, and it emotes like once every round or maybe 2..

[Jule]

Seriously... fucking nerf these channies. a channeler can stab, be dodge, weave, and still even have track... AND do 200+ damage in a bash.

This thread seems to have also degraded into people that play channelers defending their OPness and non channeler players saying they are too strong.

Even in a hard channel room I cant beat a channeler when im zerk

[Ciarra]

Even in a hard channel room I cant beat a channeler when im zerk

I find that I am destroyed against an abser with a heavy weapon when they are zerk, well until i land a couple status weaves :P

a channeler can do that but practices are so tight that it leaves room for nothing else. they best you can do if you want decent track is 89% in everything and like lvl4 ride. Furthermore channelers have a limit to the damage they can do, based on sps. Once a channeler is out of sps they turn into a really bad stabber. or truly awful hunter :P

Im not saying that channelers aren't really powerful, but aren't they are supposed to be? They are like glass cannons, the amount of damage they put out is massive, assuming they dont get interrupted or bashed, but they die pretty quick once bashed.

[Barf]

I feel useless off of patties against channies, cause once they land one status weave I can't bash for crap unless berked, and there is no way I'm berking on a channie off a patty Granted my kit isn't really desifned for killing channies.
