I guess that's why you use Imbued fighter staff and not T-Staff because you're happy causing more dmg and pushing them to the zoneline faster and not getting the kill...oh wait you use a T-staff.

this might be possibly the dumbest post you have ever made

holy shit my brain hurts

so you win a fight through attrition and they zone and die/plug

somehow that means you aren't good at 1v1?

with current gear, i don't think it's possible to get a 2000 damage backstab

before they fixed sitting melee damage calculation from being theoretical max(max ATK), the highest backstab was around 2200 damage

it's impossible to achieve that amount of ATK in this era; the only thing i could see pushing a backstab to 2000+ damage would be max strength and avatar with a max hit roll on a double backstab

which of course is a magical christmas scenario that will likely never actually happen in kunark

how the fuck does saying winning a 1v1 and not getting yellowtext come anywhere close to your idea of using an IFS over a tstaff to do more damage and not get a kill

which still doesn't make sense because a tstaff does more DPS than an IFS

im not one of those tards that /tell "name" in ooc if someone gets away from me.

It's either YT or fail.. i want to sit on the persons face when the fight is over.. not boast in /ooc about how i almost killed someone.

unholy aura and primal gonna make ya'll weep

primal = old melee damage

unholy aura = gibbed at 40%

so because you make someone zone and either plug or die that doesn't mean you're a good 1v1 class?

just making sure that you're genuinely this dumb

What made you more rustled the 20x you plugged from me or the time i knelt over you?

I'm glad you are happy reducing so many other classes to support roles by bombarding bug reports with fictional claims about an era you never played during. But you know how many Monks were ranked top 100 on the only official leaderboard EQ had...none.

So I'm glad you are enjoying your very custom unclassic abilities and no dmg caps while simultaneously telling everyone else to enjoy being support only due to your bug report crusade.

skimmed a little bit since my last post, i feel like some of you guys coming at me didn't read my original post.

i think shamans are great for group+ pvp.. they bring alot to the table. obviously buffs and heals... but additionally the DOTS and Debuff's are more effective in group pvp because the target would have to stop to dispell/cure and that would leave them extremely vulnerable to the melee's stomping their face.

to call shaman's great solo PVP'rs i think is a gross overstatement, any good player will pell/cure anything the shaman can throw at them.

even if someone is not prepared and doesn't have cure pots, they will most likely make it to a ZL before your DOT stack can finish them.

On live as a shaman the only things that ever made me leave the zone 1v1 were paladins after they got their disease/poison combined into one cure, bards, and epic mages during kunark-> velious.

At the very least they would need help to push me out of a zone, or would have to leave in frustration because I will eventually win. I also never cast any poison dot after the first month I had bane. Would just use insid decay, -> overwrite with malady and use pox/plague while jousting with a scourge hammer (after you could stack multiple levels of dots obviously).

The fact that I've never seen insidious decay ever cast on this server despite it being a core spell on live just highlights how messed up the shaman resist code is.

I'm glad you were able to theorycraft and figured this out but this is very old news to anyone who actually pvp'd during classic. You know like players who played wizards and know shock of lighting landed like a lure.
