      IRC Nickname: megajayson Group: Elite Guardian Posts: 9246 Member No.: 423 Joined: April 4, 2008 Total Events Attended: 216    | Been seeing recently more and more people using a dds on raids. Can we clear up whether this is allowed? Surely dscim or at least dspear should be used at least since raids are about the clan not loot. --------------------  This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill Fifteen percent concentrated power of will Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain And a hundred percent reason to remember the name! 7th Highest Overall for Wars Attended. | ||

If you want me to stop I will. -------------------- Be sure to check out the Community Events Forum!   | ||

Don't bring them, they give me a headache seeing them. Let me put forth the arguement that they don't really help you get kills either. Getting that first hit on our piling and hybriding is way more effective. Especially ancienting and possibly barrage a team if the opportunity arises. --------------------   | ||

Understood. But i TB all the time and i hybrid with crossbow and diamond bolts aswell. So it is rather difficult. I could just bring a cannon instead of DDS if thats what the majority want. But I'm always going to TB cause well, not many other people do, maybe can't. I'm not ranting, just asking what i should do. Thanks. -------------------- Be sure to check out the Community Events Forum! | ||

| IRC Nickname: megajayson Group: Elite Guardian Posts: 9246 Member No.: 423 Joined: April 4, 2008 Total Events Attended: 216 | oh, yea, i agree with the part about tbers, since their first hit is used on the tb, the specs can be used for damage, however other people i.e non magers, should dscim or dspear, to help with the kill. i agree with mark though, i tb every raid, and dont get kills, but im not fussy, ill just be happy with a 76k afterwards, but i agree that it should be okay for tbers to dds for a chance at loot -------------------- This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill Fifteen percent concentrated power of will Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain And a hundred percent reason to remember the name! 7th Highest Overall for Wars Attended. | ||

Yeah exactly, im not like insanely mad about getting loots, but at least let us have a chance eh. I also don't mind getting 76k's after. But i really do need them sometimes as one time i died with 3 sets and well, no drops cause i was tbing. But thanks for clearing it up. P.S. I might bring a cannon for the next few raids for some better hybriding cause i need the DP -------------------- Be sure to check out the Community Events Forum! | ||

1/2 the time Dragon Scim spec doesnt even work for me. Well recently anyway, but i do see your thinking. And yeah DDS does help so much with the KO cause its just constant hits. I often hit around 200-200 pretty effectively with specs, and if i use it 4 times, well I'm sure you get the picture. Oh and if i seem like I'm posting way too much on this topic, I'm just rather interested. -------------------- Be sure to check out the Community Events Forum! | ||

| IRC Nickname: Group: Elite Guardian Posts: 7306 Member No.: 47 Joined: December 30, 2007 Total Events Attended: 343 | I hate DDS, it just says IM DESPERATE FOR KILLS and the people who use it are no offense probably not even maxed melee. It's a useless weapon as it has little to no KO power, spear or scim only. -------------------- July 5, 2007 - June 27, 2011 | ||

 IRC Nickname: SupremoPete Group: Ex-Member Posts: 173 Member No.: 2311 Joined: July 3, 2010 Total Events Attended: 42 | Sigh, I brang a DDS last time and will continue to do so when I range/melee. I also used a scimmy as well. I dont really see the big issue with bringing one as it helps down the target really quick with the specs especially when im potted with turmoil. Once my specs are up I go back to scimmy --------------------  | ||

Same here, i range while potting and then by the time im done potting the opponent prays range, so i run in with DDS and he drops. It does have KO power. -------------------- Be sure to check out the Community Events Forum! | ||

 IRC Nickname: Darth Group: Ex-Member Posts: 4601 Member No.: 838 Joined: June 12, 2008 Total Events Attended: 558 | It's just a way for people to get free kills. D spear/d scim is much more reliable. But, as far as TBers go, I'd be okay with them using it as long as I KNOW they're TBing. Anyone else I see using dds instead of a scim or spear will be asked to bank it. --------------------  | ||

Yeah if I wasn't allowed to use DDS i was gonna hybrid with a cannon and bring spear. But yeah Kyle you always know I'm Tele-blocking so i guess that clears it up for me. Thanks -------------------- Be sure to check out the Community Events Forum! | ||

| IRC Nickname: DG_Keanu Group: Council Posts: 4782 Member No.: 2033 Joined: August 25, 2009 Total Events Attended: 173 | What about the people who aren't maxed melee? Force us to hybrid or d spear so that our raids consist of die, die, die, and hope to get a 76k at the end?
Wait... what? That confuses me. Please explain in depth. -------------------- [05:42] <+WG_Keanu> I think I got a semi just looking at the pic [05:42] <%kat> same | ||
