#45499, "It's sort of silly to think PK skill matters"
|
To begin, I think it would be terrible for any cabal to have a PK skill requirement. That's just bad for the game to limit what people can try their hand at playing because they are not extremely PK skilled. It would also discourage people from trying weaker PK builds.
Think about it, what would you rather see, nothing but sword spec giant berserkers, pincer svirfs, and arial dagger/mace, or people trying less played but more interesting builds as berserkers? One may get more kills than another, but still, I like seeing people trying builds that aren't cookie cutter. Battle is already limited in who can join, so I kind of like seeing people trying new things- and thieves are one of the more customizable options for Battle.
Regardless of that though, if you were to go around booting people from Battle berserker for lack of PKs, I have to think it would have a net negative impact on the cabal, since I can think of no cabal that has any similar requirement once you are inducted.
If a guy wants to try a berserker and is new, he is going to get booted. Battle is both newbie friendly and quite punishing. Any identical character will have more survivability just by virtue of not being in the Battle cabal than they will by being in it, just by virtue of healers and potions.
I think for a guy on his second hero, Djetmai did perfectly fine with his build and should get credit for trying something interesting instead of being used as a poster board for saying Berserkers need PKs.
(Besides, it's easy to just get PKs by indiscriminate or questionable killing, but you don't want to encourage that wrong sort of behavior by putting PK requirements out there.)
