Once traumatized and warcried I intimidate them. stabilizers cure int and warcry,do you reapply those constantly as well? At this point I am not even trying to damage them, I just focus on keeping these states on them letting them burn up their action.how do they burn up action at -80 attack speed? As i get into the rythem I star adding a poison using the enhancers.. poison curing food has low fill and will outlast your mind trying to reapplyit might miss once or twice, if it does I just get some casual hits in with my pike to do some damage while my mind regenerats. With the debuffs on them they do not out do my stimpack rountimes - bliel usually and If not i can heal with a toss enhancer."If you are unbeatable with this playstyle, then pvp on your server is mediocre at best.
Yes you dont have to COB but every 40 seconds but with my style of play there are benefits to COBing more frequently. First off in group PVP there is allot of running, and having COB refresh more frequently usually means less vulnerable time. Secondly, people often watch your cob timer in order to time their KD'd and suck. If you have your cob running every 40 seconds like clockwork it makes it very easy for someone to time their KD whne your COB is going down, catching you vulnerable. With a 20 second cob timer yes you use an extra move but your COB stays up allot more. With the 40 second cob timer in PVP it is very easy to make their cob miss, and if they are not paying attention then they will be without COB for a while 40 seconds. I have a /dump command in my cob start macro so if I need to refresh it i can do so at any moment.
Yes docs are the counter to the CM side of my template, but most of your defense stacker tempaltes do not use stabalizers or have poison mitigating foods ect. Still all in all i keep applying my warcry and thyroid if they lose it. If my poisons are not effective I stop using them. Besides my heavy damage is done with my pike anyway.
I simply report that I have a fairly unique tempalte which is very successful in dueling and decent at group PVP and people get up in arms. I just dont get it. There are allot of angry hateful people out there. You insult my whole server because I found a template and play it successfully.
Not so unique, theres about 5 who openly post with that template on these boards.
And he is also saying how he would beat you in a duel, instead of trying to counter argue you could take these hints.
I would love to be able to duel you but it wouldnt be warcry that wins it for you, nor thyroid rupture. It would be traumatize. I can outTank and outlast with -55% speed. can you do so with -40%?
just a thought.
i dont use cob macros, or any macros for that matter. imho all a macro does is turn you into an npc that can be figured out.
not sure the situation on your server since i dont have a toon there, but there are a LOT of people with that template on mine. they are not easy to beat, but they go down just like the rest.
I have never fought a template I couldnt beat, on that note I HAVE lost to players that are good. Note the diff between player and template. Your temp means nothing.

never said i lost to one (but he was fairly unkillable, until i found a break), columns in theed ftw. just admit that you have no knowledge or skill for the game and need to debuff your opponent to -80 speed in order to do anything, /hi5. its an extremely lame template, no skill, no excitement, no nothing. i called it out when the cu hit that it would be a lame template, im just surprised not too many people have gone it yet. btw snares use to stack, now they dont. hope the devs wisen up and make warcry/thyroid rupture unstackable. i dont want a nerf to either of them (i think they are fine skills where they are, except for the stacking), but they should not be able to stack
