I personally hardly use that spell, (the hate gain is negligible IMO) but I guess it does decent damage.. regardless of if I was going to use it or not thought I would scribe it.

There is a ton of TSO instance geared that is pretty decent for a non-raider. There is no reason to not be able to solo KC and/or kill Varsoon daily.

Well.. to be able to kill Varsoon daily you also need to have something else, which is commonly referred to as "a clue".

Sell it for as much as you can go buy your offensive stance and have the research assistant make one for you for free in a few weeks.

Um, yes? I'm sorry, but have you used the broker before? Buy low and sell high is the rule of any capital market. I don't invent the going rates for Master X. The whole reason this thread got started in the first place is roughly because I wanted to know the going rate for Blame Blade. If it was about as valuable as SoH, I would have scribed it.

You are trying gather support for your arguement by positioning me against the 'rest of the swashbuckler dps'. Nice try.

I never said I 'I frown on swashbucklers doing decent dps'. I said I'm against the strong DPS bint the game has taken. I'd like to keep swashbucklers as DPS and de-emphasize it for, I don't know, classes like healers maybe. What I meant specifically, since you brought it up, is that a) non-linear progression has hit hard this expansion and b) NPC scripts have gotten so convoluted that people are just DPSing through whatever they can, rather than wait around to get teleported or hit with 80 more affects they have to cure, whatever. I do fervently hope that GU52 doesn't impact our DPS that much, but rather fixes a few things for us (like crit) and makes DPS the job of DPS classes.



Crowd control, using several of our abilities and it has been more than one tank. When you are in a group with an illy and the tank says 'good job on crowd control, Tyger', that means something to me. I can show sometime if you want to transfer over to my server.



A) WTF makes me a beggar? I'm not in Qeynos Harbor shouting for masters.

B) This is exactly the point of the thread. I can choose and I will. I'm positive I made the right choice here, even though it bruised a few fragile egos.

Every little bit helps, but choosing the right bit at the right time can make a little or a big difference. If you don't think that's true, fill in your AA from left to right, 8 clicks at a time. Beggars can't be choosers, right?

You are right about one thing, there are very smart people on this board that understand the game and the class and make insightful posts.

However, there are a lot of people, definitely not just in this thread or even just in the swash forum, that can only think in one way, repeat what they've heard elsewhere and flame anyone that doesn't agree with them. I'm done.

A. Buy low and sell high? You made the point of saying you barely have any money to spend and need to be frugal.

B. You compare it's value to SoH, which you claimed was useless and not functioning (you are wrong), and say you would have scribed it. Why scribe useless masters since you could obviously be gaining capital to some sucker who is looking to buy it.

I don't think I need to 'gather' support on the internet, before I even made that post people were telling you that you should delete your toon and move on, I guess I pm'd some buddies to come back me up before I made that post..

Your right, why do healers need dps? Oh yea.. scripts like Tyrannus, where a healer USED to get X amount of time to kill a heroic ^ mob or else the entire raid dies. But thats not an issue anymore since enough people whined about it and they no longer target priests.

A. How is progression non-linear? You start at the beginning, and work your way through each room with difficulty increasing.

B. Please tell me what scripts people can "dps through" that aren't heroic. People still joust AE's, and people still cure detrimentals. I guess DPS isnt a big deal except for the fact that this expansion they added Battleweary timers to all of the avatars so that your required to maintain a specific amount of DPS to kill it in X time or he becomes much more difficult.

If you can 'crowd control' better than a Illy, they are terrible. So that accounts for your 22.5second mezz with a 1 minute recast, what was the rest of the skills you were using? Snaring a mob or 2 and running around in circles? Chances are if you would have just focused on dps you could have killed whatever adds they were without having to waste time doing those things.

A. Your a beggar because your refusing to be self-sufficient and go make money on your own, instead you would rather need on items you don't intend to use to make a profit.

B. How is my ego fragile? If anyone, you had the shattered ego that you weren't confident you were making the right decision so you came here for some emotional support.

Choosing at the right time = intelligence choices. Needing on masters you don't intend to scribe = greed. I hope that your in group and your offensive stance drops, and a necro needs on it to resell it for more money than you have. 20 bucks says you will cry for hours about how he needed a master he wasn't going to use.

So the majority of people who all agreed on something were wrong because it didn't appease you? Maybe you should think about who can only think in one way.




Edit: Fixed a typo, don't want the grammar police to pull me over!
