Indeed. Only trolls put other people's quotes in their signature to try and discredit them. Marking yourself as a troll simply ruins your credibility, which undermines what you are trying to accomplish.

Thanks for making it easier for people to ignore your nonsense. I'll happily be telling people to look at your signature. It says a lot more about you than it says about me.

Only Croco has been smart enough to realize this, to his credit. He did the same thing at one point, but has since removed it. Hopefully it was of his own volition, and not part of his ban.

I actually think DSM did a great job on the 2nd post of the thread. Granted, these are certainly best case scenarios (warrior zerking and not dying, avatar ranger BFG, etc) but shows a similar level of geared toons.

About a page later people clarified that generally it’s rogue > monk > warrior/ranger which more or less is accurate. As warriors need to be using non-tank weapons and forfeiting a defensive disc timer it is rare they pop into the lead on a parse outside damage shield dps. It’s even more rare to be zerking. 120+ dps, on the edge of blood aggro, no way to dump thread…roll the dice.

While there are a lot of BFG’s still in use it’s another edge-case. Legacy weapon, needing 8dmg arrows to shine, suffer a 72 min CD which is generally saved to bump. A lot can happen in 72 mins on a quake so while I’ve burned mine gleefully on Vindi those 72 minutes after aren’t exactly comforting as you wait to reset it.

The monk vs rogue game is odd. Clearly a rogue has a leg-up in terms of ease to get to a solid level, 30k Epic MQ and you are a beast. Monks need a lot of help to close that gap. Usually there is peppered “but they can tank/solo/pull” added to disclaim the difference. Mend is nice for AoE fights and all that. In the end though one class is more purpose built than the rest because outside picking locks and a slick invis mechanic they are a single purpose tool and very efficient. If you are talking ONLY DPS the rest of the stuff while helping justify your choice is just a red herring.

The rest of this thread doesn’t need to keep going. The AoW thing could have been a quick retraction. This isn’t court, admitting you might be (or are) wrong is a quick solution to a problem. The rest of the pages are just a train wreck, nobody needs to keep this going and while some may be more or less to blame it’s a shared experience.

This is a good stopping point, assuming Troxx, Toxigen, and Croco are finished bloating and derailing the thread. This is another Troxx and friends thread unfortunately. They decide when the nonsense ends. This post shows how the derailment started: https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...&postcount=131
