Fighting with SOTW

sotw, meh sucks

[Comp]

SOTW can be changed a bit.....but no how fluffy suggested. I think fluffy sometimes you want to push your "I hate sotw" config on others...and it's not quite necessary.

But...I do agree that it could change for the better. Keep the duration, keep as it us - BUT - make it so that NO SPELLS AT ALL can be casted. I think too many people use it to deliver those evil wicked spells like confuse or DS.

However....as long as people use things like confuse, MOD, meteor, DS, etc as their first attacking spell....archers with sotw will use it.

[-Edge-]

I for one agree, can conjurers attack in Sanctuary, can Archers attack in Low Profile? Sotw would be best used in the method of it stops after 2 attacks.

BUT, theres now way in hell I am going to look at another archer update.

Actually its almost the same thing as barbarians that hate SC monkies. Really I know in a way its like we are trying to tell people how to play (and it is), but you need to understand it ruins the whole class because then everyone wants to play like that.

I like that a lot but a few changes,

It should be with or without SOTW it should be evasion AND blocks in general and as opposed to X hits it should be if you are under atk from 5~ players then your evasion/block chance goes to 0 and that includes SOTW/Protecter, basicaly no matter what spell your useing if your being atked by more than 5 players then evadeing or blocking should be impossible.

After all NO ONE (outside of films) can dodge 5 people at once they would simply be overwhealmed by attacks from all angles and pummled.

That's a no-brainer.

I frequently use stalker myself, so it is often part of my game plan.

But even tho i use cofigs with stalker i still think it should be cancelled with any attack...

So do i with SOTW

I also think SOtW should be changed ........ yes...this coming from a hunter who uses it from time to time. IMHO .... once a hunter goes into SOtW , he shouldn't be allowed to attack AT ALL. It is part of the evasion tree, it's meant for defense, therefore once in SOtW, the hunter has taken a "defensive position" , and therefore ... shouldn't be allowed to attack .... period. If he attacks, then SOtW should be cancelled out, and not available again till the cooldown has completed. And I still stand by my opions for stalker ...... hits / evades should also cancel that spell. And before you flame me ....... I use all of these skills on certain builds, including confuse, I have and will use those skills that DO work, and aren't a waste of points, but .... there has to be some give and take, just like SC ....... totally overpowered, and YES I also have a barb , and NO I refuse to use SC because it is so overpowered. There are so many other spells available to barbs that cause tons of damage, I feel as if SC should follow along the path that TFB did back some time ago ....... it needs some adjusting as do the above mentioned spells for us hunters.


Just my 2 cents

SotW-mania is the reason for all the Confuse-mania. It's the only thing archers can do against SotW, and you bet your ass they're gonna spam confuse like there's no tomorrow. SotW users brought this upon themselves, quit yer whining about confuse already.
