  • (Quote) The think command also lets you interact with people who can use stuff like Telepathy or Blood Monitor. Also Gods.
  • Ah, my old memory of 73%/69% audit was taking into account old Miasma, guess that's the difference.
  • (Quote) Right, Magic should be higher from Ward though and Cold from press fumeae. There's also the Epicurus statue that Bloodloch currently holds, one east from West Gate.
  • That's odd, do you have rings for the other elements? They should all be 10% higher from vamp resists.

    EDIT: Ah actually nevermind, wasn't accounting for something. Magic and Cold should be higher though.
  • ...now go look at your other elemental audits. They're higher.

    I'm well aware of how high you can get with Sapivi Powerful. You just won't ever be able to kill anyone with it. You're actually missing some stuff with your audit, …
  • Eh, even with Sapivi it's not like your fire audit is higher than the other elemental audits. It's actually still lower than most others, forcing them to use fire damage isn't giving an advantage, just taking one away.

    And the m…
  • You forgot to press fumeae!
  • I don't believe that. Xarian just won the big Christmas FFA that gave us our lovely statues. The point of all my arguing wasn't to prove BB/Prae is underpowered, that's not my stance/belief at all.

    And even if you wanted to go t…
  • (Quote) That's hardly an indication of a class's competency. There are no real active Shaman combatants outside of Illidan, that doesn't make them underpowered.

    Aaand Xarian is a BB combatant. You know, the guy who'…
  • No one is going to fight in Sapivi. If you want to compare a Sapivi Prae's audit then go make that Shaman fight in Powerful.

    For your other stuff, I don't disagree. I don't actually know what Shamans do at all, really, so even I…
  • Well then if it is legit Praenomen actually have less total audit than Shamans do. You can claim they win in 6 of the 9 categories but they win those categories by only 3%, 3%, 6%, 3%, 2%, and 2%. Meanwhile they have -20% on fire and -7% on asphyxia…
  • (Quote) Unless they have a defense that boosts every single damage type by over 10% somehow I doubt it. Every single number of their audit total is showing far higher than the defenses + minis should have it at.
  • (Quote) For example look at the Asphyxiation audit. 

    Praenomen shows 25% defense, 24% mini for a total of 43%.
    Shaman shows 15% defense, 24% mini for a total of 43%.

    Prae has 10% more defen…
  • There also seems to be something bugged about Shaman audit. Go look at your numbers; Prae/BB is higher in most defenses but somehow Shamans are significantly higher in the total audit. Same case with Illidan's audit.

    4% hig…

  • ...what artifacts give audit bonus? There's a shield, that's it. The magic audit? Sure, decrease that by 10% then. 

    If you're calling 10% sip malus a joke then 10% extra magic resist is surely entirely negligible.
  • Find me a Powerful Bloodborn that can kill anyone, please. Go compare that Shaman with a Wise Bloodborn set, because that's the only viable one for Bloodborn. 
  • (Quote) Are you ignoring everything I said about how that's not the point? Sure let's just pretend I agree with you on their offense.

    I am arguing about their tankiness. That's my point. Lower audit than Teradrim/Shamans. Simi…
  • (Quote)
    ...you have Illidan posting an audit that PROVES to you Shaman audit is higher. It's not higher than your Powerful BB numbers but be honest, when are you ever going to fight in Powerful BB? You have no offense at all in that statpack. …
  • @Xavin exactly! Shamans and Teradrim are both higher than those audits and that's WITHOUT a sip malus. So...really. Please stop perpetuating this myth that vampires ar…
  • I remember you being the liaison at the time, Xavin, wasn't the whole point of scythe stance because their class wasn't really balanced around having no armour? Hence giving them a form of armour.

    Pointing out all those skills i…
  • ...mend? That's about all they have. And Sanguispect I guess. Don't see where you're getting damage management skills from. They definitely don't come close to Monks.

    And don't forget, the audit looks great, but it comes with a …

  • (Quote) Right, it made no sense at all that just one of the large blades happened to be onehanded, making all the other ones useless. But I've heard Illidan tell me Praenomen are unkillable and I've heard many people talking about the v…
  • Right, I'm not arguing at all that vampires aren't tanky. Just not getting the part where people say they are super omg OP unkillable tanky; while that's true in bashing, it isn't in PvP! They aren't even the tankiest class in the game, let alone th…

  • I'm curious about why everyone keeps saying the vampire classes are so OP tanky. They have some resistance bonuses. Their defenses aren't much better than most other classes...is it because of mend? Don't forget they have a sip malus which really hu…
