sk starting points

[Sizar]

My bad, I thought we were discussing mating rituals of the earthbound human. Thank you for reminding me what the true point of the discussion is about.

Point is, your situations of having more INT and it being useful / saving your life will creep up FAR, and i meant like 100-1 less often than just being a 4% better killer. If it comes up much more often than that than it means you need to adjust your leveling strategy or you are just a plain bad player.

***DSM replies with "I am insulting him calling him a bad player"***

Maybe at this point, that is what is factually correct in this thread all along.

End thread for me, will continue to read your "get the last word in" replies to others though

Thank you for admitting you cannot prove your point.

You are trying to save face with silly nonsense like this.

You also shouldn't think that calling me a "bad player" is a good argument for your side, or clever. You are basically admitting you couldn't even prove a noob wrong lol.

Is this the newest epic DSM meltdown thread or is there a newer one? Anyone know? It's hard to keep track.

I think this is his only current tantrum.

They happen pretty often though across lots of different sub forums.

The issue is posters like yourself. You are throwing the tantrum and trolling. You are so afraid of possibly being wrong that you think it is a good idea to make fun of people you think are autistic. Truly reprehensible behavior.

Only 400 more pages to go fellas!

Im in.
Lets fuck every

"Hey guys, I'm a newb p99er what's the best combo of stats/equipè/technique for a [insert class/race] plz thnx just general info not gonna raid or twink?"

Im thinkin 700 pages of mostly off topic rambling about what a torpor sham can solo with fungi/manastone.
How a monk can be overweight and function and lastly, tell everyone to stop trolling and only post factual facts with fact based facts to backup those factual facts.
It's just math guys.

I don't have any hard proof, but I have a growing suspicion DSM is Gregg Turkington workshopping a new character.

I'm pretty sure this is all an elaborate troll job by DSM. Take the stance of the know-it-all forum warrior and just argue people to death for some lulz.

its got to be, several folks have tried to have a conversation and it just wont exist with him. this could be a great resource instead of spamming show me the facts over and over again while telling everyone they are wrong.

Notice how DSM keeps shifting the goal posts. He says that STR is useless because the extra DPS is useless, then if you point out that STR also brings irrefutable out of combat benefits via increased loot/coin carrying capacity, he says that's irrelevant because his massively twinked Monk gained one level per hour (try to follow that logic in a thread about SKs).

There is nothing approaching a rational, honest argument from him. He just endlessly shifts the goalposts and prattles on about how his points are backed by evidence, but has yet to present a shred of evidence that INT actually provides tangible benefits in-game. All experienced players understand that max mana pool (especially on a hybrid) is relatively unimportant, because your mana will constantly be hovering around the middle of the bar anyway. The benefits of STR, however marginal they be, thus necessarily outweigh INT, given that while STR's minor benefits are self-evident and irrefutable, INT's benefits cannot even be properly measured or accounted for.

DSM, please provide actual evidence that extra INT returns REAL VALUE to the player in-game. You have done nothing but make baseless claims about how being able to cast an extra FD might save your life. But this is entirely theoretical. I can just as easily say that extra STR will theoretically save your life if you were in a close fight and already OOM and managed to kill the mob you were fighting with 10 hp left, because your damage was just a little higher thanks to added STR. But both of these scenarios are EXTREME edge cases that almost never happen to good players, which means that the minor but clear and irrefutable benefits of STR necessarily eclipse the entirely theoretical benefits of INT.
