IBs are sort of a class of their own lol. They rapes CQ but they wouldnt do too well in Ranged lol.
Whoa whoa whoa. There are a couple if not more vllds that can beat my blaster right now. They know who they are. It's really just jabber's that get torn apart because of shiver armor and no dtm, and still they can beat a blaster if the hits land. Other characters that are properly built shouldn't have too much of a problem if they do enough damage. And why would ib vs ib not be cq? They wouldn't run around and shoot from any kind of distance, you could dodge ice blast with zero frw. They would go toe to toe just like any other vlld. If the character is built right they will have enough mana to last the majority of the duel and then would either start smacking each other (just like any other character when they run out of mana/charges) and shooting a couple ice blasts every couple seconds as their mana regens. Besides any ib'r worth their salt will have +1 warmth on their orb so they really wouldn't have to resort to smacking.
Calling it the dumbest duel ever doesn't make a lot of sense, don't all vllds just stand there and click? I mean even if they both run out of mana with half life left the duel would still probably last less time then maul vs maul.
I get that they are a very different class then all the melee characters, but they are far from unbeatable and characters should design their builds so that they can deal with a range of different opponents. I could also enter my 12 fber, which seems to be just as dangerous, but it shouldn't be. All you have to do is swap out 3 to 4 lcs to ones with the appropriate res to be on an even playing field for any elemental damage-based character. But I regress. I enjoy my melee builds just as much if not more. Especially the challenge of balancing them with enough damage, ar, defense,
and res to compete with any character in the class.
And this wasn't meant as a diatribe against you Colbsies, I was just using your quotes to reference the topic of discussion.
