How I forgot you, I don't know... I remember traveling you with you a few times in the past and a few other times to gaunt people. Though I seemed to have bad luck when others were counting on the gaunt to be successful. 9 times out of 10 they seemed to be 'unreachable' except for that one time when you had to flag me...

Then give me an xp hole due to an over-eager ghoul pet. Which at first was pissed about, but I got over that quickly. Wish I could have been around more after seeing you lich and all. Good luck and get to 51!

Thanks to those that made my mid-levels a breeze. Unfortunetly, I think they went a bit too fast. 76% parry and 84% shield block just doesn't really cut it at Hero, and I find its easier to log the time needed to perfect those at the more mid ranks than 51. Anyhow..

Thanks for those that helped:

Amora- I remember me being around level 38 or so when I first met you..and you were only about 29-30 with your cure crits. I could tell you knew what you were doing even then when you always seemed to be on top of healing the tank.

Stargher- You started traveling with Eryintha around those times as well. In fact, they usually wound up being such great groups that I remember I lost more than a few nights ranking straight.

Aljern- Slows are always wonderful, especially when you are a conjurer. That wasn't the only reason I liked you, so no worries. Was nice having you there to say a final goodbye to. Since lowbie scions where the only others about.

Dullameh- Good job with scion for the most part. Unfortunetly, I think most log on when they see the lich. But I know you really have no sway over that. Thank you for inducting me decades ago..pity I couldn't have just proven myself better for a chancellor position.

I know others exist, enemies and whatnot. I still remain to hate ragers. I'll keep names to myself but even in the final hour of dying to a villager with barrier/aura/stone (full looted between him and the warlock who was there as well attacking the giant) nothing was given back except for a belt. And even then that villager still came at me farely soon after I had unghosted.

The only thing I can say in his defense is that I was still close to the village at that point. But even then, we're all players still behind the screen. And this wasn't a deletion over equipment either.

This deletion is because of frustration towards the conjurer class as an evil. Yes, yes...its suppose to be difficult and hard. But when you hit 51 and still call an abashai devil with 1150 mana, i think that just makes the class a little...well, you can fill in the blank. I enjoyed the character for the most part... I just think the conjurer class needs some tweaking.

I still can't believe that time you successfully gaunted and killed me. Not that you succeeded, but how quickly the gaunt came after I logged in. I literally got past the MOTD, looked at my moves and started thinking about where to head and all of a sudden a faceless nightgaunt was swooping down on me. Then of course there was the time I got away with 13 hp, quite the rush.

Gah, can't believe I forgot to mention anything about you You were one enemy I always seemed to shoot a nightgaunt at for some reason...how bout..nah...what about...nah..oh look, zjemmur just entered the realms.

And I remember that time you got away, nicely done...taught me to go further into the area for my future nightgaunts. Thanks for the reply, g'luck with the character your with now.

I'm sad to see you go. We had some good times together in the lower ranks. Didn't really see you as much at hero, that's probably because you weren't enjoying the class much. Anyway, make a scion warrior or something we really need them badly. Hope to see you in the fields soon.

A) You came to attack me while i was trying to defend against some warlocks.
B) I'm not very forgiving when it comes to scions and looting.
C) Sleeping in the stunted forest is always a good way to get attacked, no one to blame but yourself.
D) Boohoo. You had one rager attack you, and i didn't even chase. Maybe you should try some of the 8vs1's and 12vs2 odds i've been against and even then you didn't hear me complain.


Cheers.

My take on that. If your character is set on having a burning vengeance for those that gang him, then congrats on sticking with your role. Otherwise if its not... well then it really has nothing to do with "huraz" and is all about the hurt feelings of the guy behind the screen.

Well, at least I made ya feel better.

cheers.

So you're saying it's cool to gang, but to multikill someone is immoral? Neither is an ounce worse than the other, kinda like Hitler and Stalin.

For stolen powers you gonna pay some taxes

Eryintha never took part of 8vs1 odds or anything of the like. Against ragers it did usually consist of 3vs2 or 2vs1, but that is only because that a mage vs rager alone usually is not even for the mage period. I'll not question the immortals on this, because its their design...i would just love to see it re-evaluated.

As far as multikill...I find that the only time that is warrented is if that player in question keeps coming back to die...being naked that I was, I hardly had intention to come back.

Well well, I know I had been hit by 3vs1 with a nightgaunt, ice devil, nightwalkers, elemental before. (does that increases to 6vs1)
When I don't even have my major form. Easy kill eh?

If a conjurer comes after you with servitors, it is not "many vs. one" in the same way several players would be. Ditto for necromancers, druids, Scions, etc. Every class and cabal has ways to win- some just take the form of a creature.

Unless you expect the hero-ish evil conjurer to Magic Missile you down. But in reality, that conjurer will almost always take the offensive using an elemental, demon/devil, and possibly a nightgaunt.
