Bit of good news (maybe?)

The bottom line is that most of you fuckers want to dominate and have that one OP toon in the sarn arena, not to mention 1 v 1 pvp. Vhlad, you of all ppl have abused mechanics for the longest time. I have too (btw i retired my EA scion). We all want to dominate. I'm guilty of it. We all are. It's in our blood. If not, we would still be playing our melee reave, cyclone, crit arc or other build that is shit for pvp nowadays. But losing will do that to a lot of people. Fuck, if you are Alpha, you hate losing at anything! And losing to some nerd on a computer screen is only worse! Admit it! Only Rlowe, MullaX, Ahfack (screw your vortex! Now nerfed), Shin, Head High, Rupe (because you were the pioneer on LA), Dream (smartest fucker on POE), the fucking "mang" AmazonPrime aka Castablanca and and a handful of other can truly say they "play" pvp how the game was intended (sorry EU legends like Lib, Markuz and others, we don't play much together). You may say, "fuck Shin! He abuses the Pathfinder build." Really? Did any of you assholes even dream of it before he put it in the sarn arena? P.S. I used to laugh at Shin while he was developing his skills and game plan in the arena. Who's laughing now?

So, I abused skills like the rest of the general public. I'm not proud of it. I would like to think if I didn't have three kids and a full time job, I could formulate some decent pvp toon, melee or otherwise (not really, I drink too much). But until then, I have to search the forums for advice on how to better my toon. But don't get me wrong, I am an abuser by nature, because it is the easy path. A path a majority of us are guilty of.

Anyway, fuck all of you. Just kidding. I love ALL of you fuckers.

I don't really care about "dominating" everyone, per se, I just like to show that I actually put effort into playing, that's what keeps me in PVP. Those of you who don't kill me in one hit, and who I don't steamroll (all 1% of you) know I like moving around and am all self-cast, and I plan on keeping it that way. I don't like copping out to any 1-shot shit, I do my thing and if it doesn't work, I try to make it work. That's why roughly 40% of my inventory is gem swap-outs. I'm not excessively wealthy, or even remotely, probably never will be, and I'd say roughly 80% of my resources go to rlowe, since she's my best character I have. Think what you will, but she's come a long way and I'm very proud of how she's turned out. I try not to abuse any sort of weird mechanic, and I haven't since my shotgunner days (I do regret never doing it with arctic breath)... well, except for a certain bug I will not talk about since it's only fair I have my one thing vs all these nerds running around with Lightning Arrow.
Glad I'm the first one you listed, though ;) Though I wouldn't necessarily put Amazon in that list since he only seems to be in PVP now because he can 1-shot shit with Lightning Arrow. I don't recall ever seeing him in arena before, and I spent an unholy amount of time there. Or... maybe I DID see him there and he just never left enough of an impression on me. Either way, he's not really what we're about, or at least what I'M about, which is learning about the game and improving on something until it's the best it can be. I feel this is different than using meta (read: broken skills) and trying to "improve upon them". There's no real point in trying to improve upon something that's already obscenely broken, that's just trying to show how big your dick isn't, the way I see it.

Thank you for clarifying which Hawaii, btw, wasn't sure which one you meant.

Hey he's just a naked nopants again, check my sheet haha

longest time? Inquisitor sparker was made sometime after talisman league ended (under 6 months ago). EA/LA were made after sparker.

Before that I pvp'd with totems since season 1 (years of totems). Mixed with occasional incinerate tank (became EK tank, now SRS tank), frenzy/tornado shot/split arrow/puncture ranger, freezing pulse MoM (when it shotgunned), coc blast rain, and a facebreaker melee that was ass.

I do a lot things in arena where the focus isn't kill count, like taking out LA and running around with 2x siege ballista, or casting 0 damage spells on my ancestral bonder to scare people doing daily, or running around punching people with default attack, or trying to inch beside someone so our golems fight.

I have more stupid things planned, like 4x ancestral protector cluster trap (will also try flame dash spell totem trap and searing bond trap, and whoever I manage to kill with that should feel great shame).

My goals are fun and getting broken things nerfed. No pants inquisitor failed to get EA nerfed. I'll have to try again with a tanky EA build (non-crit), and abuse that new aoe pot, anti crit chest, and zerphi's.

And to replace noah's bear trap, I'll make one. I know everyone feels empty inside without that crunch sound.

DON'T

Do it! Do it! Haha

Much better to use ''balanced'' skills in pvp rather than stuff that can be exploited.

Anyways its healthier for the whole community and doesn't scare people off as much to get into pvp.

Gotta say that Rlowe impresses me more than most people that do abuse to a certain extent, sticking and perfecting to one thing is the way to go. A lot of players switch characters over and over always trying to find that broken spec but at the end of the day they'll have to respec when the nerf comes and they'll keep searching for the next OP shit.

Stick to one thing and perfect it, otherwise you're just spreading cancer in pvp, no need to show off shit we already know is broken.

Now we have to fix this Aegis cancer, it's getting out of hand and practically unkillable for most rounded builds unless you use a 1 shot mechanic abuse. Downgrading the tankiness of those type of builds would be better than giving more mechanics to 1 shot or secondary damage over time skills.

Don't you change skills every patch? Weren't you Inquisitor? Weren't you RF? Weren't you RF LL tempest EK molten shell pre launch? Haven't you been crit this entire time 1 shotting 99% of the community from afar? Didn't/doesn't Shadow hop on the bandwagon every patch too? Haunt you're a funny dude, we need more of that around here.

I'm sure both Haunt and Shadow can defend themselves just fine, but staying crit self caster is hardly jumping on every band wagon. The same could be said about someone switching through melee skills... cyclone, spectral throw, leap slam, heavy strike... phys build, ele build, crit sword... I'm sure I missed a lot in there.

Firstly none of that really applies to me. Secondly when we speak of "cancer" and pushing people away from PvP. Nothing says that louder then the above. Swapping a melee skill per match up, not per meta is a lot different then swapping ascendancy class to the most broken one that requires the smallest balls. Or being LL rf ek molten/tempest etc..etc.. what do you think turns people away from PvP more? It has to be the melee's swapping to a Heavy strike gem. This dudes posts just ooze bull shit every time I read them.



Here you are playing in it, mmm shit posts mmm!

Rich... coming from the guy that plays EA on switch - the most abused pvp skill of them all.
