Yeah dude, i've seen about 20 posts ( not seriously ) that say " FUCK I SUCK, PLEASE HELP ME!! " and guess what brotha? they all say the same fuckin thing. They should read through the forums, and find their answer the correct, and non-retarded way.

BTW, yeah I'm willing to help also, but seriously do your research on the forums before you post, or ask stupid questions that you could have answered yourself by spending 5-10 minutes trolling this website.

Wow...

How can I put this bluntly.... Well its EQ2 Flames so who the hell cares!

NEW SK's Alt Sk's PISS OFF!

Sk's that have been around since 2004 have BUSTED our asses playing our class, being the BEST at our class and maintaining MT, OT or dpsing slots in our raiding guilds. WE have worked VERY hard to disolve that stigma that SK's arent worth having around. SOE has finally given us a few abilities that lets others think that as well.

BUT YOU jump on the beta bandwagon of thinking SK's are the shit and you are going to be some sort of dpsing/tanking GODS.... Piss off ok. You have no business pretending you are tanks and you will do nothing but put is back in the hole where the EQ community thought we belonged for so long.

In the last 2-3 weeks I have seen so many no name SK's come out of the woodwork all over Kithicor. Look at you! Sporting your 8-10khp self buffed. with your 45% avoidance in DEFENSIVE stance. DO YOU HONESTLY THINK YOU CAN TANK LIKE THAT? Jesus!

^^ Hey! I resemble that remark! ;)

Actually I've been playing since about a week after launch, but I don't raid. Took the summer off from RoK after hitting 80 and getting frustrated with the game. The fad of the new SK's will fade as soon as they do the 2nd tank adjustment patch imo. The changes to the SK are kick ass, but were needed. It's not easy mode, you still have to know your class, otherwise you will find your self shunned pretty fast. Nothing kills a TSO instance faster than a shitty tank.

And just for infoz... I'm at 10.8K HP and right at around 50% avoid in defensive stance and I tank just fine. :p I'm not gonna MT for a raid any time soon or even some of the harder instances, but for the first two tier of TSO instances there has been no problem. But thats because I know how to play the class. Once geared up in tier 2 shard armor I see my casual content self being able to tank all the instances just fine.

yeah there are ppl out there with that mind set and I think it's funny...or think that we're over powered lol.. class still takes more time to invest than other classes to actually understand it...a lot of trial and error specially now with the changes..there are some veteran sk's that are still going through some trial and errors to refine their toons cause really and truly the class is different now..at least to me felt like a new class. One thing that veteran and new sk's will run into is spell refresh rate...was the first thing i noticed im like wtf...i have down time that's not good...so..went back to the drawing board refined the spell order..it's a lot different than before..now 0 downtime a constant flow of spells over and over and over being casted at almost instantaneous speeds and it took me about 2 or 3 days to figure it out. Point is..it's cool well played SK's can inspire other players but..they don't know how hard it is still to play one...but that's what makes the class so fun..it's an actual challenge to play not just a pick up and blow shit up class..has thought process to everything right down to the final aa point.

Sorry just had to get that off my chest. Just tired of seeing wanna be SK's running around all over the servers and forums.

i agree with what has been said here.

for the past month the channel has been filled with dumbfucks that think we should tell them how to play, i dont mind sharing aa info or builds but ever hour is getting bothersome.

i thought the revamp was supposed to remove the bad stigma around the class but i think it will be harder to accomplish this now with the flood of bad sks that has appeared ( atleast on guk). ive been playing my necro for instances lately more then my sk for this new pet gear ( im addicted) and it really ticks me off when i group with a bad tank or sk ( as ive seen a few) when they think 4 parry is better then 3% uncontested because they say they are not a bean counter or why do we move for the 6th time on Caren in deep forge.

But back to channel its was already getting bad for the most part i dont mind dicussions but how many times do we have to go over heal crit question or cavaliers aa or what weapon should i use at lvl 15 this shield or a 2hander i mean ffs nobody told me what stuff to use back in 2004 when i was lvl 15.

for mother fuckin realz
