Best solo melee class?

yeah even the ripost disc on live really doesn't net you much damage at all.

So not surprised that awesome idea didn't pan out. But awesome idea anyway jimjam.

Hi I'm making fun of you for having the opinion that having mana gear on a ranger is wasted. That's an idiot thought. It's useful. Even if you don't use the mana on "combat spells" on the class that primarily has utility spells. You can use that mana on things that aren't Tranix, too, and that's surprisingly more common.

Thank you for clarifying your position that rangers don't have SK / Paladin spells.

bro not so bright on this one

mana is a shit stat, flowing thought is more betterer

Did Cecily ever say Flowing Thought was bad, or are you just making a bad faith straw man argument?

Kjs86z2 did not make the claim that Cecily said flowing thought was bad.

Loramin is just doing his normal routine of randomly attacking posters in a random thread. Often times he barely reads the thread/posts, so he doesn't undertstand what is happening. That is why his attacks generally don't make sense.

Max mana should be a lower priority for sure. When trying to maximize kills per hour, you generally aren't meditating to full mana before the next kill, so extra max mana is often unused. Flowing Thought is especially nice in scenarios where you are playing for hours at a time.

Max mana is more useful when doing solo artist kills, as you are starting the fight at Max HP/Mana. Often times the fight isn't going to last that long, so Flowing Thought isn't giving you a lot of mana in that single fight. But this obviously depends on the fight and the strategy. Bow kiting an Ice Burrower is going to take a long time lol.

Yeah, he didn't just make an entire post that said nothing except "mana bad, FT good" in response to Cecily saying "mana good". I'm the one who can't read [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

So he disagrees how good mana is, and thinks flowing thought should be highly prioritized.

Yes: learn how to read if you're going to make insulting accusations.

This is correct. There is no reason to assume Kjs86z2 is claiming Cecily said "Flowing Thought is bad" when Kjs86z2 literally didn't make that claim.

Kjs86z2 should have worded his post less agressively, but an agressive post does not imply it has hidden and unspoken claims.

Here, I'll try to break it down in a way you can understand.

When I say "the guy behind THJ is a douche", a normal rational/logical argument against it is to say something like "no, he's not a douche: he helps orphans learn to read" (or some other argument that's pertinent to what I said).

If you don't have a rational/logical argument to make, you'll instead say something like "the guy behind THJ isn't a douche, and America is awesome!" Now, I didn't say anything at all about America, but by throwing that in you make it sound like I did, and like you're rebutting the point (I didn't make).

Can I explain some more things slowly for you in bad analogies about THJ? Since that's just about all that you post about these days.

im just saying cecily dying on the mana hill is pretty godamn dumb...and the only mana-ish stat that would ever be decent on ranger is FT
