Strikethrough

Shidoshi · 06-23-2009, 12:58 PM

Hey Crabbok I think I read ur going to fanfaire, can u ask them about the possibility of brawlers getting immunity to strikethrough or at least partial immunity. I mean its fucking bull shit to tank a mob that hits like a truck as an avoidance tank and then get a DA stirkethrough for 20k. Being avoidance tanks I mean u would think we would already, but fuck man, it happens to me a lot especially on Zarrakon if I dont have wards in my group.

Anyway, what do the rest of u think on the subject?

It's already on my laundry list of brawler fixxxes.

Seriously, I hit Inner Focus (2 stoneskins) AND pop 100% deflection... then go pull a raid mob.... within the first second I'm dead.

that is 3, count em THREE fucking strikethroughs within one second. that my friend is bullshit. My big problem that I wanna get fixxed is this: in TSO our AA's looked great and they fixxed STR line, fixxed how our CA's would crit... looked so good.. but then almost EVERY good thing they gave us, they countered with some new mechanic.

Extra 100% deflection temp! ---- Strikethrough your fucking dead.

Extra mitigations AA! --- Reduced Mit on TSO gear so you actually have less mit. Your dead.

Extra rescue CAs! -- In Defensive stance they will miss 90% of the time.

Divide and Conquer can lock whole encounters! - most raid mobs are completely immune.

And don't even get me started on Drag.,...

pretty sure they cant strikethrough deflection, which is mythical. but inpenetrable will gets struckthrough all the time.

i fucking hate zarrakon so much because of this, and man if i dont have a mystic i hate it even more.

Mythical gives Dodge, which is the one avoidance that cannot be struck through.

Deflection, parry, riposte, block, and all that other stuff CAN be struck through, which is why Impenetrable Will (100% Deflect) often gets you killed.

Strikethough really sucks in PvP. Monks are pretty even with us without it. Not exactly fair when we have Impenatrable Will rolling and we get punched in the face with strikethough.

My god I hate fighting Monks.

Good thing about it is: you dont HAVE to fight them, since they are not scouts. With some 25+ lvl wands and tinkering stuff they just can't snare you enough to counter your 80%+ move speed.
