In the style of The Many Memes of Meta Catchphrases and concepts that spread from person to person are known as memes, which, courtesy the internet, can now explode across the earth like a highly contagious virus (hence "going viral"). As with their IRL counterparts, some infectious disease...

Where is 'blame @Wipqozn' and '@spugsley punches babies'? Though second one probably should not be in a list to avoid misunderstanding

spugsley

@Alok bahahaha

and because I have a penchant for self-harm - spamming spugsley with Gooby is probably in meme status by now

Alok

Seriously, those are the 2 memes I see all the time - I never even knew there was one to gravitate discussions to Minecraft or TF2, maybe that was last year :P

Idk about Gooby either though, you'll have to enlighten me on that one :)

Is that why Arda Xi left?

spugsley

@Alok I'd rather not. You should ask @agent86 since I've since invaded his house with scorpions (he's only found 1 so far) for his horrible gooby habits

If you stack +heal instead of +attack power you don't do any damage anyway

its a waste of action bar slots to try and dps once you're in full healer gear

Right.... But would it be beneficial to use a damaging resource generator? (they usually give 1 resource for both weapons)

TBH, I rarely even use blood abilities

and if I do, I'm always in a situation that I can use my own health as the resource

since AR attacks do leech for both you and your defensive target

so if I use angelic aegis with 0 blood, it puts a DOT on me, but the DOT is less than the passive leech damage from my AR abilities

Patrick Stalder

Even with no +attack rating?

yep, because +heal affects your passive leeches

That kinda makes sense to me. So I get away with using just a Fist/AR builder. That' great. Thanks for the insight.

pixel

so in terms of what you're leeching for yourself, every point in AR reduces your damage but every point of Heal Rating increases your healing

I'm only in half healing gear and it's effortless to heal groups that don't stand in bad stuff

I think the game is designed in a way that everybody needs to severely outgear the content before you can ignore mechanics

Patrick Stalder

Is the "use health as resource" thing just for specific ability's or for all blood magic ability's?

pixel

any blood ability that says "your health can be used"

its quite a few of them

Patrick Stalder

Great.

pixel

at least from a healing point of view

But I think that's a good thing. If you can't ignore mechanics, everything becomes kind of a "skill-test" and even DPS can't just brain-afk-auto-shot everything.

well when we did the arqade random instance run

they all died lots

but it was all silly stuff like 'staying inside the ground effect a second too long'

(I was the only ranged)

Patrick Stalder

As long as it is not the healers fault I'm fine with that. :P

pixel

much easier to stay alive and be aware of your surroundings at ranged

Patrick Stalder

I know, I already played nearly every role.

But I think people should always think about that when building/creating a character... I learned it the hard way.

pixel

I always play better at ranged because I hate being up close

avoid melee classes like the plague

Meeting then lunch. GLORIOUS!

pixel

GLORIOUS

That was a worthy lunch! GLORIOUS!

(for context)

It's still hours until lunch

:|

Patrick Stalder

1 Hour to be exactly :P

pixel

2 :P

but I will have breakfast in an hour and then lunch in 3-4
