Cool. In years and years of playing, I guess that means I'm yet to encounter a single "decent char" in pubs.
:rolleyes:


Seriously, you guys pull the same crap over and over. Years ago, on the bnet forums, not even a week or so into 1.10 I think, I posted a guide to a weird build called a "Charged Strike Amazon", using a skill that nobody had ever even thought about. And people looked at it and said "lol but it gets only like 2500 avg damage! fireball can get 16k now u suck lol ur char will never work and will never be viable pvm or pvp". Seriously, there were dozens of people telling me javazons would never work.

well...if ure not able to bear any criticism...ur problem...im just honest...
and hey...you are not one of those inscrutable arbiters that discovered sth new...
there are other chars that used to be "uncommon" and they do imo a better job...
thats just my oppinion... ;)

btw...if u were the guy in 1.10 that detected the cs-java, why joindate 09? :P

i said bnet forums not jsp, now didn't I?
Glad to know this isn't the center of the universe?

I didnt come up with this build and I'm not the first person to make one, but the people who've used it have done better with it than most of those cookie cutter characters. So if you're holding it to the same comparisons you would a fireball sorc or wind druid, its pretty damned easy to say its a competent build thats just as strong if not stronger than any of those. To claim it would lose to "any decent char" would be to say the same thing of a fire sorc or wind druid. And much less, you say it with absolutely no experience in the char, making you nothing but a theorycrafter.

I don't "bear" criticism, I respond to it, and crush it under my heel.

how do u know that i say this with no experience? just curious...xD
and if i say "decent chars" i even dont refer only to cookie cutter builds.
u announced such a great supremacy on this build, but i dont see it, although this guide
is written with some efforts...
but if ure just arguing that unobjective...eehm...who is talking? :lol:

anyway...im out ;)

takes very nimble fingers

if they defwhore a lot, just don't even try to chase them and just harass them with fissures. Eventually they'll come out of their caves and play, and thats when you get the chance to lock down volcano/grizzly. Chasing l8z'ers is generally a bad idea for any character, so don't play into their hands.
