Re: Healing Potions: Discussion on balance


Maybe you have a problem articulating yourself correctly

you definitely have a problem with contradicting yourself

at this point the thread's pure mud-slinging so I'm out ✌️


Non-surprisingly, when you resort to attacking someone because you disagree with their point of view, and can't ...

Re: Healing Potions: Discussion on balance


i can tell you man that being that pedantic isn't going by get you far in life. I never said it was the sole reason, either. and please don't insult my intelligence. it's very hypocritical, given the nature of this thread

you also didn't meticulously explain away my points. You said truestrike ...

Re: Healing Potions: Discussion on balance


The point of my post is that heal pots have been the way they are for 2 years. In that time we've already seen the worst they're capable of, and it's been acceptable enough by both the players and the balance dev team (which is the best and most attentive it's been on the server to date btw) in ...

Re: Healing Potions: Discussion on balance


you've done all my arguing for me man

you lost pvp because somebody had something you didn't. you want that nerfed

I've provided counter arguments and you've either glossed over them or just said "no you're wrong". I also did notice how you conveniently ignored me quoting you contradicting ...

Re: Healing Potions: Discussion on balance


I think that when it comes to PvP, perfect imbalance takes precedence.
Meaning, as far as healing goes, either your AC is not good enough and you've made the grave error of finding yourself in the wrong neighborhood (melee range) and no amount of healing will save you as you simply won't have ...

Re: Healing Potions: Discussion on balance


this server might not be for you

especially if your response is going to be "I'll get you next time, gadget" to legitimate advice

I have a feeling you'll realize that healing potions aren't why you lose, and I hope that the lesson isn't too painful

Personally attacking someone with a different ...

Re: Healing Potions: Discussion on balance


And you didn't truestrike kd them because..?


Truestrike KD isn't exactly a tactic you use as a full caster. Though that does bring up the point of how utterly absurd it is to have truestrike on a level 30 server with low gear power.

Still, that's another subject entirely.


Man if heal ...

Re: Healing Potions: Discussion on balance


I'm sorry man but citing micromanaging your vamps as a reason healing pots are hard to deal with has really damaged your credibility


Not what I said. I said that summons aren't a reliable counter to someone chugging heal potions because there's a slew of factors in the game that invalidate ...

Re: Healing Potions: Discussion on balance


It's almost like there are counters in a wizard or spellcasters arsenal to harass heal pot spammers. And subsequent counters against those counters in the enemy's arsenal. A balanced amount of counters, you might say?


There really aren't. There's not a single spell in the game that reduces the ...

Re: Healing Potions: Discussion on balance


It's just like spamming kits but more expensive and higher hps, and still not necessarily effective

> takes exactly 0 skill

Re: Healing Potions: Discussion on balance


a lot of goal posts are being moved here

other people getting the aggro of your vampires? micro-managing them?

really?

talk about weak arguments


If you think those aren't factors that surround the usage of summons in PvP, I don't know what to tell you. They're relevant. They have impact, and ...

Re: Healing Potions: Discussion on balance


Casters are using summons, from elementals, undeads, up to dragon knights. Saying loss of AC is irrelevant for caster is awknard in this light. Loosing AC versus EDK or vampires can mean quick death. Standing and drinking potions while you loose constitution to cloud is also going to kill you ...

Re: Healing Potions: Discussion on balance


You do know that AoEs CAN be stacked, and that only AoEs of the same type are overridden, right?


I'm distinctly aware of that, yes. It's still weak and underwhelming. A competent player with high saves isn't going to be inhibited or killed by a caster that only has soft CC in his arsenal. And ...

Re: Healing Potions: Discussion on balance


All of the fog spells are soft CC (i.e. slows), that do scarce little to truly inhibit an opponent.


Yeah, I know this is off-topic to even comment but soft CCs make or break PvP encounters. If you think it does little to inhibit an opponent, you're probably doing it wrong.


It takes 2-3 ...

Re: Healing Potions: Discussion on balance

A substantial percentage of the comments on this thread that stand against the proposition to have heal potions fixed with a cooldown or diminishing returns are founded in either ignorance or self-interest.

There is a large array of situations in which chugging heal pots DOES win you the fight in ...

Re: Healing Potions: Discussion on balance



Incinerary Cloud, Mindfog, Cloudkill, Acid Fog, Web, all spells that perform CC w/o a save effect attached to them.

To be totally fair, the situation generally described is a rich epic with herbalism or herbalism friends that sits on 100-200 heal pots specifically for PvP, and can easily afford ...

Re: Healing Potions: Discussion on balance


Chugging heal pots means improved expertise goes down and you're flatfooted. That's death in melee.

If someone wants to chug 50k+ in healing pots because the only thing you took as a wizard is damage spells, then you've made spellbook mistakes as a caster. MY condolences to Trueflames, but your ...
