I was saying it was literally 2 wins, 1 loss. As I said, I *really* didn't seek out PK and *really* attempted to avoid it.

That said, with one aura source I'd probably have been 50/50 at hero levels if I wanted to really mix it up - but that'd be by being very opportunistic, attacking groups while they were leveling, etc. Just raiding Fortress to kill someone at the Watcher wouldn't happen, no.

My point wasn't that you don't need advantages like ABS to be deathful (I consider 5/1 pretty deathful), it was that you don't have to have ABS to have a successful character.

Many consider a char successful purely (or largely) based on number of pkwins. Some throw in "oh and I didn't die much" as a tack-on. I consider all the stuff I learned with Kharia, the bits of RP with other mortals I got, and so-on to be parts of why I found her "successful."

I'm going to also use this post to reiterate that we ARE working on something that will probably help matters and addresses several of the issues mentioned above. It won't be "let mages make their own barrier wands" - I hate that idea on several levels - but what it will be is pretty cool, at least in my opinion.

Except, of course, that Zulg is kind of a left-coaster it seems and likes the color pink.
