Best solo melee class?

Yeah, I don't believe that. I could explain (again) but you'll just ignore my reasoning so you can argue with me some more. You're far too stubborn to ever change your mind and I'm not interested in arguing about this with you. I wanted some advice on upgrades from the rangers in this thread and Snaggles provided an excellent suggestion for an upgrade path.

I dislike the negative AC on those hoops. I generally run Fingerbone Hoop / Vindi earring for AC/STR/MR on my melees.

As you can see, Bcbrown cannot rebut my arguments yet again. I understand he is biased and trolling. This is his normal routine when responding to me. But this is a weak response even then.

If he knew the answers, he would simply counter my points.

1. He can't explain how Woven Bark earring is unqiue clickie-wise.

2. He cannot rebut the basic idea that most players typically have a set of resist gear they swap to. This means you have to know how to play without your non-resist gear.

3. He has no response to the basic fact that great non-clickie spells have cast times around 4 seconds too.

4. He can't explain why saving mana from clickies is unimportant. He cites the idea that he doesn't use his mana. This implies he doesn't need to heal either. Maybe he needs to use his mana a bit more to speed up killing if he isn't using it.

He's talking about earring upgrades, not snare clickies, you child.

And the pet.

Yeah, you might be able to avoid slow - but with ~ 80 MR I routinely resist Togor's.

Again, though... the vast majority of mobs in KC are melee.

Yeah, Snaggles and I disagree about the relative importance of gearing for AC on a ranger. But instead of yelling at him about it I appreciate the context in which he has his priorities and adapt his advice to apply to my own, different, context. I find that leads to a much more enjoyable and productive discussion than treating every disagreement like high school debate club and going on about rhetorical fallacies and shit.

Appreciate your input too, thanks [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

If you read the thread, he is wearing woven bark earring. So yes, it is related. Unequipping a max HP item like Hammered Golden Loop will remove that extra HP you have if you are at full HP. So even swapping between woven bark earring and HGL affects the utility of HGL to some degree.

Ranger should be the least impacted by negative AC as they are only just above cloth when it comes to how much real ac they get.

The core message is frustration and I don't want to continue talking to you. And you reinforce that feeling with an itemized list of points you've already made. I have some experience working with autistic children, so just let me know if you ever need a neurotypical read on someone's post.

When you can't win with facts and logic, you act like a child.

I am sorry you think you know everything. It blinds you to learning anything new.

My posts have facts. Your posts have silly insults and nonsense. I feel sorry for you.
