[Bazia]

what part of michigan pal?

just curious im from the tri-city area

[Sirken]

am I retarded but I dont see anything about poisons in the BoTb, just no right clicks? does that mean yes to poisons or no?
you can apply poison to weapons before the fight. but there is not right clicking allowed during the fight. plan accordingly.

[Littlegyno 9.0]

I'm sure the 30 seconds buffing before fight doesn't mean any clickies like jboots etc right? just making sure i'm in a loop.

Thanks brother

[Sirken]

[Bazia]

just start them snared imo

[SamwiseRed]

not sure if srs but bard vs bard wont last that long. the arena isnt that big. will probably be faster than the monk matches. shaman will probably be the most boring/long ones.

[Nirgon]

Longest one was druid on live.


I gated.

Floyd Money Mayweather is from Grand Rapids and look where he is now!

[Nirgon]

Too scared to fight The Pacman

[Sirken]

Too scared to fight The Pacman
^^ this x2

Mayweather wouldnt make it past rd1 of the botb.


Keep those signups coming in!

[gloinz]

Too scared to fight The Pacman

the fuck would the pvp champ floyd mayweather have to gain by fighting washed up ol pacquiao comin off 2 losses

pacquiao was screaming gm favoritism at the judges too like a girlyman

[gloinz]

not sure if srs.

floyd has been ducking pacman for over half a decade. now at this stage, nobody cares if they fight. at least i don't. mayweather is a pussy.




GET THOSE SIGN UPS IN MY PM BOX!

no he asked pacquaio to take a drug test before fighting and pacman was like NAW

thats the only reason they never fought

and of course noone cares if they fight at this point like i said pacquaio coming off 2 losses

its a good thing noble mayweather didnt waste his time fighting a drug crazed pacific islander

[HeisChuck]

no he asked pacquaio to take a drug test before fighting and pacman was like NAW

thats the only reason they never fought

and of course noone cares if they fight at this point like i said pacquaio coming off 2 losses

its a good thing noble mayweather didnt waste his time fighting a drug crazed pacific islander

double trust was agreed upon

pacman wanted 50/50 split, which ain't happein

then pacman loses like 30% of that to bob arum

mayweather makes all $$

[HeisChuck]

maywather wanted bood test, which manny finally agrreed updon.

pacman wanted 50/50 split, which ain't happein

then pacman loses like 30% of that to bob arum

mayweather makes all $$

[reddi lol]

Senator Pacquiao

[Stasis01]

Chuck you piece of shit I was intoxicated.

[Sirken]

no he asked pacquaio to take a drug test before fighting and pacman was like NAW

thats the only reason they never fought

and of course noone cares if they fight at this point like i said pacquaio coming off 2 losses

its a good thing noble mayweather didnt waste his time fighting a drug crazed pacific islander

pacquiao refused to have blood drawn 24hrs before a fight. was willing to submit to any other testing, and was willing to give blood for a test immediately following the fight.

pacman is superstitious and believes the last time he gave blood for a test 24hrs before a fight that it was the reason he lost.

Mayweather is just a pussy.

Mayweather knows that Manny won't do it for religious reasons or the ones cited previously and that's his way of not fighting Manny.

Very intredasted to see the rogue brackets.

I feel like bard is going to be luls if Skean is allowed there.

Skean's not allowed in any botb.

[Nirgon]

I reckons the skean was on bard blue botb?

[STILLnotMORNIN]

IDK why people keep arguing about mayweather/pacman...

Mayweather may be ducking and hiding to keep that goose egg on the end of his record but dude made about 7 goose eggs on the end of salary this year... that started with a 9. He dont need to fight shit.. He could dance around the ring by himself for 20million

[Malevz]

holy hell, this server needs more bards

Only one thing will bring more bards to this server. Completely wipe the server and delete every ones chars. It will fix everything!

[heartbrand]

Ironically there prolly would be more bards for a several month stretch via a wipe it just wouldn't fix any of the issues here

[Faerie Blossom]

I've been bard; easily the best class in EQ. Healing is just too much fun though!

voluntarily played a dwarf priest when WoW first came out

healing molten core raids on 56k was intense

Played dwarf paladin on launch and shamelessly abused the reck bomb mechanic for as long as I could. Unstoppable force reck bomb oneshots all day long son.

No one knows me but I'm in! Prefer healing in wow.

[Sirken]

i go out of town for a week, and u let this drop to page 2,


for shame

[Nirgon]

Already saw Colgate win monk botb, not many good rogues on the box.. or at least ones with strong rivalries

[Num1RecommendedByDentists]

salem v gream good rivalry

elderan v mathematics good rivalry

[Nirgon]

Anyone Chuck fights will be good

[Sirken]

holy hell we need more bards on this server!

[Nirgon]

Sirkdawg put your player hat on for a moment

Who are your favorites to win

[Kraftwerk]

elderan v mathematics good rivalry

Chuckled heartily.

[reddi lol]

Ill be rooting for Wendolyn and Salem.

[Nirgon]

The poison joust is going to be some lawls

[Num1RecommendedByDentists]

rogue botb ultimate test of random number generators

would be funny to see the size of text above his head when "Salem Orchid the King of Thieves <Independant Black Women>

top 3 picks obv chuckdusky, salem, wendolyn

[Nirgon]

Yeah those duelist backstabs are either going to be nothing much or put someone down to a slow trot right off the bat pmuch

Being blinded or muscle locked aside

And no offense to anyone but if you have duelist and lose to someone without it... lawl.

[Andis]

yall are forgetting big Guido

im not really a melee at heart but will try

and we cant blind right

[Num1RecommendedByDentists]

no blind poison good decision by sirken

possibility of a single backstab ending the fight combined with poisons at all going to make it feel like a real tense knife fight at first with a quick ending

[Andis]

ya so wtb snare posion paying well LOL

[s1ckness]

i pick solid to win

[gloinz]

predict gream to win fella knows how to joust + has the gear

kringe is powerless without his army of golem wands gate pots hack transformer etc, expect first round elmination
sandusky apparently is good but thats what they said bout xantille and he got one rounded, unknown
tyrionn he been puttin in lots of work in the freezer punching meat expect a high showing

salem is my sleeper pick


as far as bards idk whos good or not bc every bard i face immediately highsuns

[Sirken]

Sirkdawg put your player hat on for a moment
Who are your favorites to win

my opinion on this isnt worth much since ive never played on r99

but tbh, Bard and Rogue are both 2 classes im looking forward to seeing.

but Mages and Necros are where my heart is

[Andis]

Sirken can u pls post the updated list on who sent you a PM about rog/bard botb

gotta see my future targets

[Faerie Blossom]

holy hell we need more bards on this server!

I'd go back to my bard roots if they put the supercool Luclin Selo's in :P

I'll be cheering for Salem in rogue matches; don't really know any bards here.

salem rapes the fuck out of gream all the time with massive level disadvantage and gear disadvantage

kringe p good jouster

never seen sandusky pvp

gyno has no FUCKING chance

lite, dekadenz, whistler my top 3 bard picks

[evilldacbane]

whistler was never very good at bard, plus i heard he quit in a fit of rage and gave all his gear away.

[gloinz]

gyno has no FUCKING chance


dont underestimate gyno dawg he been putting in WORK

[Num1RecommendedByDentists]

gyno's just a worm

[reddi lol]

Gyno definitely dumb as Rocky. Not as fit tho.

[GoodGuyAmes]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1yzIeBRh5o

[reddi lol]

which Rocky? i mean sure Rocky 1 and 2 was dumb as balls. but Rocky 3 got smart when he bit the bullet and trained with Apollo. but then sadly Rocky goes full retard in 4, 5, and 6. poor Rocko

gyno definitely 1, 2. Ill have to take your word for 4, 5, and 6, but if its full retard then thats Gyno on a good day.

[Nirgon]

If Lite doesn't show up, bard botb will be decided by dkp

aka which retard has more hp to survive the other retard beating on him the longest

[reddi lol]

Not expecting much from Lite.

Gonna be a HP/weapons match.

[mendan]

Did lite destroy his epic yet?!

[Sickpuppy]

Did lite destroy his epic yet?!

I think lite destroyed the game entirely off his computer .. Think he had enuff of the server bullshit like the rest if the 150 people that recently quit grats dek on first and tune on 2nd place and whoevers alt on 3rd Becouse twainz is that bad

[Faerie Blossom]

Ouch, don't be so mean to Twainz, he's actually pretty cool.

[Sirken]

all jokes aside, theres gotta be more than 4ish bards on the server right?

[Littlegyno 9.0]

all jokes aside, theres gotta be more than 4ish bards on the server right?

nope. that's about it that are real contenders. no point in a lvl 54 doing it.

[SamwiseRed]

were a lot. botb timing not so good rite now :(

[Littlegyno 9.0]

all jokes aside, theres gotta be more than 4ish bards on the server right?

how many rogues?

http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/0/1992/1252223-eq000047.jpg

[Agatha]

there are like 50 bards, but all of them are just used to kite up other people to 60, the rest are the suckers that get to speed around the tstaff/rogue krew. rofl.....

[SamwiseRed]

i wanna compete but not sure i wanna go against an epic lvl 60 bard with superior gear. bard dots gonna rip thru me and land everytime even when twisting 2 resists songs. guess i could pop pure tone and hope for the best. oh wait i dont have that disc yet :) give me a mob to charm.

[Sirken]

Sam, right now theres 5 bards signed up. if u join, u have a 50% chance of getting a title ;)




Bard Titles: "the Minstrel", "the Troubadour", "the Virtuoso"

Rogue Titles: "the Silent", "the Assassin", "the King of Thieves"

[Doors]

gyno wont be no king of thieves

[Num1RecommendedByDentists]

gyno wont be no king of thieves

[SamwiseRed]

gyno wont be no king of thieves

double negatives makes him the king

[Silent]

the Silent, the Assassin and the Virtuoso probably the best ones there imo. I wonder if the final winner can ask for like a secondary title if they were a rogue. At least, I don't like king of thieves I think the other 2 are nicer. Then again any title is better then none.

as for bard botb, What agatha said. And it is mostly going to be nihi bards since any bard without epic is at a big disadvantage almost like monk epic vs non epic monk due to swapping instruments. Who outside of nihi has bard epic, Lite I know...What about Mesochrist? I don't think he plays anymore though. Either way I am looking forward to watching both class botb again, warrior and monk were fun even though I got to see the first few war fights and the final colgate/nothxu one only.

predict gream to win fella knows how to joust + has the gear
kringe is powerless without his army of golem wands gate pots hack transformer etc, expect first round elmination
sandusky apparently is good but thats what they said bout xantille and he got one rounded, unknown
tyrionn he been puttin in lots of work in the freezer punching meat expect a high showing

salem is my sleeper pick


You guys said the same thing about Colgate in the monk botb thread, Like "oh colgate needs his tstaff and a zoneline to hug to get a proc off to kill anyone or his full group to zerg anyone down" and look what happened. Also wasn't Xantille <60 and no epic for botb? As far as rogues go I don't know, I would put all my chips in on Salem if he were 60 with equal gear no doubt. The rest of the rogues I can't speak for since I have not seen them play. I am gonna pick deka for bard winner, The rest we'll see!

[Num1RecommendedByDentists]

xant didn't participate in monk botb

he played checkraise in the warrior botb

v close fight against hughman

[Num1RecommendedByDentists]

gyno needs custom title "the Worm"

[Faerie Blossom]

Really kind of a shame bard BotB is happening pre-Velious. Puretone could have balanced epics being all in one guild some.

[Agatha]

have fought all bards, closest one of them has gotten me was tune, and he waiting for me to zone for no pet, all the rest have been ran off.

cant kill mage in open zone = doesnt deserve to compete in botb.

[SamwiseRed]

hard to fight a mage when you still get rooted twisting all your resist songs.

[SamwiseRed]

if earth pet didnt root at range, mages would be np

Bard Titles: "the Minstrel", "the Troubadour", "the Virtuoso"

Rogue Titles: "the Silent", "the Assassin", "the King of Thieves"

The Silent is from a RP event (Drizzlin got this on VZ), The Rake should be the correct one for botb.

[SamwiseRed]

actually the shovel

[Sirken]

Really kind of a shame bard BotB is happening pre-Velious. Puretone could have balanced epics being all in one guild some.
we are hoping to finish this round of botb before velious, so that we can do a completely new botb after velious has been out for a little while.

The Silent is from a RP event (Drizzlin got this on VZ), The Rake should be the correct one for botb.
i know what they are (Rake and Blackguard). but, i have to do it the same as it was on blue, and those are the titles that Ambrotos gave the Rogues for the blue rogue botb.

[Kaahbal]

Ah cool :) makes sense

[Salem Orchid]

aww man, the rake and the blackgaurd are so much cooler then the silent and the assasin

[reddi lol]

gotta do it the same way that ambrotos did bro sorry

[Sirken]

WTB 3 more bards

[Vile]

gotta do it the same way that ambrotos did bro sorry

thx for the lol

feel bad for nizz got stuck with gay ass disciple when the rogues get a set of cool made up ones instead of dum default titles

How many ROGUES?
too many :p

[Bazia]

not crying but disciple is a gay title

but i get ur hands are tied dude hehe

[Num1RecommendedByDentists]

i really liked the idea of giving the 51 title to 3rd place, 55 title to 2nd place, 60 title to 1st place, but gotta agree that "the disciple", in my opinion, is pretty fucking demeaning and i'd rather just not have a title at that point

the fact that the most arrogantly-awful-at-everquest monk who is also leader of a blue zerg guild wears it makes me laugh to no end

[Swyft]

feel bad for nizz got stuck with gay ass disciple when the rogues get a set of cool made up ones instead of dum default titles

Can't wait till all your throat bruising pays off and you join Nihilum and find out your forced to plug, hid, or die from me like all the other blubie VP geared bad's in that guild!

First of all due to crippling blows you have no idea who would've won that match. Xant was beating Hughman until the big cripples came in. Second, that's what you get when you invite known retards to your guild in an effort to guild anyone and everyone. I tried telling Lite multiple times that the vast majority of apps to Nihilum were not people trying to get pixels, they were people disgusted with the members of Azrael who truly wanted to play for an underdog but couldn't fathom being guilded with the Agatha's and Slathar's of the world.

[Sirken]

~12 hrs left

5 bards
15 Rogues

[Twain]

Only 5 bards? Here are the bards I would think should be there.

Twainz
Dekadenz
Tune
Lite
Chooch
Beatz
Punkrock
Skippy
Whistler
Mesochrist

I was always 100% against Agatha being in the guild but I wanted to stand by lite till the end.

[heartbrand]

Whistler just completed a big move, Punkrock has been mia for weeks, Skippy quit, Lite quit

[Num1RecommendedByDentists]

let's take a look at which bards ACTUALLY have a chance(level 60 and geared appropriately):

twainz
dekadenz
tune
lite
punkrock
whistler

all with epic(very important), i think, level 60(very important), resist gear(very important)

so only 6 by my count

xant and hughman were pretty neck-in-neck and both about to die and hughman disced him, wasn't EXACTLY RNG

[heartbrand]

My point stands, you have no idea who would've won Tehruoh v Hughman that round due to RNG. He could've gotten some clutch procs or a couple of big cripples and it's GG. The RNG in warrior is prolly highest of any of the BOTB's because of crits/cripples.

[mostbitter]

Doesn't take away from the fact that a best 2 out of 3 matches went on for 4 rounds.

[heartbrand]

Ya because Agatha is an idiot. Though, in all fairness, I knew something like that would happen and the GM's should've also and limited participants to level 1 halfling warriors or something like that.

[Twain]

Does Whistler have epic? I know Chooch does. Regardless, that doesn't matter. Anyone can win, unless you don't sign up.

[heartbrand]

anyone know who wolfe is never seen the guy in game b4

[SamwiseRed]

i saw him once, he quickly vanished. hes was red con to a 52 druid and wielded an epic. rumor is hes not one to fuck around and was in the live botb

[Faerie]

anyone know who wolfe is never seen the guy in game b4

He's in your guild, and he's a nice guy.

Btw, good luck everyone!

[heartbrand]

Nope, no1 named wolfe in my guild

[Faerie]

He was 2 weeks ago.

[HeisChuck]

lol chuckdusky

IM ROOTING FOR YOU

[Littlegyno 9.0]

not for me chuck?

btw i think i got the best brackets.

[mendan]

damn I hate that ill be out of town on a golf/casino trip.

my prediction is stasis or the winner of salt/wendolyn to take it all.

[Littlegyno 9.0]

[Snufz]

I predict johnny to come out on top, got a hunch.

[Handpartytowel]

sirken can u pls give me back my character name chuckdusky since chuck traded it for in game items like a week after asking me to delete my toon so he could rename jessika to it.

[mostbitter]

salt said he aint even gonna be online for this

[Nirgon]

No actual Chuck playing??????

Kringe vs Zyrino looking very likely... ew dang.

[Handpartytowel]

who cares salt wasnt bringing no hardware home

[SamwiseRed]

botb is a good representation of guild distribution of the high level players.

[mendan]

?? no faith

you got a tough bracket, not sure who is even gonna be playing johnny. actually not sure who is playing brennard either really? Larsen/robe?

[SamwiseRed]

cwall gonna be playing one of the rogues hahahahahaha

i predict the grandmaster king of thieves cwall

[Andis]

Guido will not be at the event Sorry for inconvenience

will not be in town :(

goodluck to all

[Handpartytowel]

bet andis would clear his schedule if winner is awarded 6 months free tanning time

[Nirgon]

Great idea HPT.

Sirken, please try to get a free laundry for a month coupon for the winner of the botbs. It's about time we had a stream with sponsorship for you to collect a little skrilla.

Prediction:

This looks awesome. Can't wait to watch.

[evilldacbane]

should only be one title for a 4 man bard tournament.

wendolyn v salem in finals

[HeisChuck]

bet andis would clear his schedule if winner is awarded 6 months free tanning time

lol dis is so wrong, but i cackled hard
not every1 from nj fukin fake bakes!!!!!!!!!!!!

[reddi lol]

i predict the grandmaster king of thieves cwall

going to this, sorry server

http://fpsf.com/

i'm also one of the people that leans toward the "no ringers" philosophy but if it's worth embarrassing a certain person then it might be worth it

the only people i'd care about griefing off the top of my head in this botb would be gream(salem territory) and elderan(i'd be too busy readying the popcorn for the grand display of mathematics attempts on the forums afterward)

[Twain]

Elderan will not be there. He will be played by someone in the guild. Wolfe is a person in Nihilum, but I'm not going to ruin that one.

[evilldacbane]

no one cares about your dumb guild inside jokes.

[Twain]

no one cares about your dumb guild inside jokes.

I was answering questions that I know the answer to. You on the other hand, are a waste of time. Remember gating from a wizard 7 levels lower than you? You will always be just another loud mouth scrub that no one even cares about. Good Luck with the stones pal.

[Stasis01]

Oh god who's playing Elderan - it's like a mystery opponent.

[Stasis01]

So if I lose it was clearly some pro ringer - just FYI.

[Smedy]

or maybe you're delusional, seems to go around in nihilum, reinan doin work

[evilldacbane]

hey remember when you attacked me in overthere when i was lvl 30, didn't kill me, and talked about it for 4 months? also 2 years stone free YES

[Num1RecommendedByDentists]

wolfe = ender's new poopsocked rogue?

[Num1RecommendedByDentists]

fuck so many rogues, wish i could play in stead of someone absent

[Num1RecommendedByDentists]

i had a bracket set up where chuckdusky came out as #1 champ but then i realized that chuckdusky belongs to someone else now and i started feeling pretty sad

hardest fight to predict was croup(tarwine?) vs salem, but i had to go with salem since he's played a rogue a lot more on this server than tarwine has, and from what i hear backstab range is quite different here from other servers

http://i.imgur.com/g3v9sTQ.png

[Stasis01]

Apparently throwing boulders are allowed? I'd give it to a barb rogue for sure then - didn't realise.

[Twain]

You're bracket is completely wrong. You literally just went Anti-Nihilum the whole way. Confirmed salty.

[SamwiseRed]

elderan letting someone else play his toon? LOL pathetic.

[Twain]

Elderan has been busy achieving more in Life than you could ever imagine.

[SamwiseRed]

i cant imagine it

[Num1RecommendedByDentists]

let's see

who the fuck is cricket?
johnny aka oddjob? don't make me laugh that guy is fucking horrendous at pvp
elderan lol contender for worst rogue on server
gream also contender for worst rogue on server
who the fuck is wolfe?
gyno is a fucking WORM

ain't salty about shit, i got my title, and i would wipe the floor with any of those jokes if i were taking part in this botb

[Twain]

Tyrionn - Worm but he is a pal and I believe in him
Cricket - TBD
Johnny - Oddjob coming back for the event
Elderan - Being played by a very skilled PvPer
Gream - Worse than Tyrionn but still have faith he learned his lesson
Wolfe - Not outing this person but this is his 2nd 50+ Rogue on this server

[SamwiseRed]

gream is not worse than tyrionn lol. is it gongshow playing elderan hehe

[big league chew]

Wolfe - Not outing this person but this is his 2nd 50+ Rogue on this server

permaban this scum
in my very important opinion

[Twain]

gream is not worse than tyrionn lol. is it gongshow playing elderan hehe

I am on Team Tyrone
Tune is on Team Gream

My Team is better.

[Num1RecommendedByDentists]

point stands for gyno
point stands for cricket
point stands for johnny
point stands for gream

wolfe aka ender was a fucking horrible rogue(did you ever see that pvp video he made? holy shit that was embarrassing)

your opinion of what it means to be a skilled pvper is obviously very skewed so
point stands for elderan

[Twain]

permaban this scum
in my very important opinion

Wolfe may or may not be the person you think it is. I would say he isn't who you think he is.

[Faerie]

The important thing is that everyone has fun! :)

[gloinz]

best thing bout bard bracket is we dont have to watch lite, the fella who drove around in a gokart while playing maximillen in the war botb, lose twice.

the bottom bracket definitely has all the heavy hitters. its like the afc from a couple of years ago facing the nfc in the superbowl, heavy favoritive vs general crap. also based observations partially on who has been active lately bc preparation is a big thing for this botb

http://i.imgur.com/iSeB079.png

[reddi lol]

HAHA SOMEONE ELSE PLAYING ELDERMORAN THE ACHIEVER?

WOLFE PROLLY ENDER PERMA BAN

GREAM THE SAME GUY THAT LEARNED ABOUT PUMICE 3 MONTHS AGO FIRST TIME EVAR?

[heartbrand]

I think gream will win because throwing boulders are OP

[Num1RecommendedByDentists]

gloinz you didn't even predict who would win the finals

chuckdusky is not owned by chuck anymore

guido won't be there

croup i think will be played by tarwine

[Twain]

Gream should win. Would like to see Tyrionn win. But I think its going to be Elderan.

[gloinz]

gloinz you didn't even predict who would win the finals

chuckdusky is not owned by chuck anymore

guido won't be there

croup i think will be played by tarwine

yea just spent some time catching up on forumquest have to remake braket

[gloinz]

whoever wins gream/salem has a ridiculous gauntlet to the finals

random number generator was not nice to my winner and sleeper picks

[big league chew]

Wolfe may or may not be the person you think it is. I would say he isn't who you think he is.

permaban alla yall

[Salem Orchid]

Gream far better then Tyrionn, last me and Tyrionn fought he didn't even land one backstab ( and I mean, 0 attempts were made to backstab ), where Gream on the other hand has came quite some distance since the day he sat there Gongshowing through my riposte disc

not trying to be mean about this, Tyrionn is a friendly guy

[evilldacbane]

Tarwine on croup might be a good sleeper pick. i've got a lot of money riding on Salem though.

[mwllowyellow2]

Not sure why everyone hugs on Salem nuts I killed him without buffs and he had an oor healer.

[SamwiseRed]

without even knowing it, salem has done more for red than most. hes kept red red even during the dark ages and like chewie has never joined the zerg in order to play ez mode eq. we need more players like salem.

there are many others that keep this server alive, just too many to name.

Dunno how Colgare added names like that, this will be my predication.

Round 1:
Salt > Cricket
Chuckdusky > Johnny

Gream > Salem
Croup > Guido
Brennard > Wolfe
Sootwulf > Tyrionn

Round 2:
Wendolyn > Salt

Gream > Croup
Brennard > Sootwulf

Round3:
Wendolyn > Stasis
Brennard > Gream

Final Match:
Wendolyn > Brennard

Bronze Match:
Stasis > Gream

[Nirgon]

I think gream will win because throwing boulders are OP

Tried to tell Kringe this when he made his rogue but he would hear none of it

[mwllowyellow2]

no zone lines in botb mellow

All I'm saying is if I killed you imagine what tarwine on croup is going to do to you. Because I suck compared to him.

[Nirgon]

I think more people are going to cry about throwing boulders than you predict.

No jboots tho. Means errors in sticking to him when he tries to do that will be lessened. Adjust your strats.

Barb rogue ftw, told ya'll so.
