Haha wow.. thought Aloysius having played a stabber was at the level of gaidin draining sedai.

Perhaps someone could do a post on how to group pk with over 50% rogues on both sides in a way that is fun since it looks like we're stuck with this.

Like in this pk was a crit abs aloysius, batt dodge Fleur and healthy dodge Fermin and the 4 ds decided no chan was better than their ctf with monsoon being beat/gleaner and rest I think fullish.

I thought that was an odd estimation but if monsoon is the main damage dealer and rest are rogues who won't break dodge I guess the options are limited. However Aloysius being abs makes it very doable also (as long as monsoon stays out of weaves). But if Aloysius had been combo (as he should have been) ..I don't know. The stabbers + dodge setups don't make for anything pk when there's just a single low hp basher on either side.

Also..I haven't played a stabber seriously in pk in like the last 18 years. Just let that sink in for a second, you guys like to bring up that I played a stabber literally 18 years ago :p

Seems like Draz the Gaidin's Master may need to teach a course on how to fight multiple trolloc rogues

Not sure what this has to do with me or what I'm good or not good at playing as. Just a public service announcement that today, in 2021, less people playing stabbers will make for more fun pk :)
+1 Just remove the damn class. Or make it remort only. Fermin is the only rogue allowed to stay unchanged

Fun relative to what?

Some people seem to vastly overestimate how fun they are to PK against, irrespective of their set up. Stop constantly crying about "fun" and actually make recommendations on balance, like lowering stab damage back to the 260 average or something.

there is absolutely no way to avoid this death.
Anyone could have targeted myself or Codpiece instead of "h.dark" because we weren't grouped.
Lisennet could have spammed for us or simply walked out after Sorvitor fled out instead of (I assume) letting her weave timer run.

I would argue there are extremely few cases where "there is absolutely no way to avoid" getting stabbed.

Looked like a lot of fun for sure. Riveting read. Very skilled to be able to pull off the stab, in such a dangerous situation.

So lemme get this straight our 2 rogues were more lame than your 2 stabbers and 2 channelers? Just trying to understand what is legit now and what isn’t.

What I found lame was the unwillingness of ls to leave Lugard for 20 minutes.

lol, so what , we walk in spamming k h.ghast and k h.codpiece somehow?

and no you can't walk out here, read the log:

*Sorvitor* panics, and attempts to flee! <-- starts flee


*Sorvitor* leaves east. <-- flee goes through

-=nar sorv is batt <-- look when this command is entered, timed to enter just as bash completes

They're not here anymore!
*Ghast* places a sharp, red stone dagger in the back of Lisennet, resulting in some
strange noises and blood!
Lisennet is dead! R.I.P.
Your blood freezes as you hear Lisennet's death cry.

* R HP:Healthy MV:Winded > z
bash
*Codpiece* tries to stab Nunzio, but he parries successfully.
Nunzio tries to pierce *Codpiece*, but he dodges the attack.
You narrate 'sorv is batt' <-- command goes through here, so there is no question of walking out
