Yeah, because it's like, you zap yourself with a barrier wand and amazingly there's a hundred corpses suddenly at your feet.

Do you think it's more fun for (and let's say that neither of these A-Ps are me, because #### if I want to get into that whole set of arguments again) a skilled A-P to

A) Rack up 100 charges in 100 hours, taking a lot of risks to do it, or

B) Rack up 100 charges in 400 hours, 100 of it spent spamming, 300 of it spent PKing very conservatively and taking no significant risks?

It sounds like you want (B); I think (A) is a lot more fun to play against.
