Ok, it seems to me that most people think that all that should happen in RvR is 8 vs 8 battles. People seem to be missing the point that the realms are at War. War is not 8 vs 8, it is kill the enemy anyway possible.


This is one big pissing contest between all of you "gank" groups. If you want 8 on 8 or something, go back and play counterstrike or something to that nature.


I almost fell out of my chair when I read that someone said it "wasn't fair" to hit a group just out of battle....

Well, it is fair for an 8 man group to come up and roll a single player? When is the last time you saw a group stop and let one person challenge them? Doesn't happen because it is an easy kill.


Maybe all you criers of the zergs should get your own realm more involved.


THIS IS WAR!!! There is no fairness in war you cry babies.

Ash..


If that setup works for you, go head and continue to run it. Overall, that group is still gimp compared to a group that would do so much better with the right players & classes in place.

i like our setup. yeah sure, a mana eld or something would be useful, but:


1) we won't level anything again

2) we don't recruit

3) we don't care that much


we do just fine with our setup. we beat the alb gank groups, we lose to bof/sos often yeah.. but then again, even mid gank groups lose to bof/sos so it's hard to care that much.


our setup work well vs. mids. like i said, our best and closest fights are always vs. LA. we lose, we win, but it's always close and long


and yeah, it was shown yesterday that albs can do fine without ra's. so when you do pop those ra's, it sends you way, way, way over the top and everybody here knows it.

oh and btw, the reason why we vanish from emain sometimes is because we have to run all the way back to DL to rebuff due to a great respec idea by phel and our lazyness to put a bot at bolg.

Smytes Alot, you'll notice this thread is directed towards the Gank Groups on the Lance server. Not zerglings, all of us here realize people have the same mentality as you do - but we don't. This thread is directed towards a small population of Lancelot. Thanks for your irrelevant insight though!

"we won more fights against you (ash+crew) without using ra's than you did against us "

No offense, but beating us twice in breifine where we had afks and not everyone was fully buffed should NOT be counted a real victory.


"We have beat some good mid gank groups without bof and sos with 3casters in the group. It can be done, it's just a challenge. "

Have you beat LA with the group? No?

Caster groups CAN be done x, the problem is the healers. I can keep up with savages on healers (most of the time), the problem is, only until my first bar of power is out. MCL, bps, and power potion recast timers kill casters. I mainly use single targets with casters anyway, since they are more pow conservative, but even than, once you have to hit mcl or whatever, the caster is DEAD.


"Ash..

X, your opinion is valid, but honestly, dont say another group might be better.

For example, when was the last time you saw a caster group take down 4g+ in a huge fight? I enjoy the long group versus zerg fights of mellee group, 1 group pbae spending about 15 seconds to kill an entire zerg never seemed that amazing to me, especially since if the fight was prolonged caster group was simply DEAD, because they couldnt keep it up forever.

There are very few casters that can actually excell in those extremely long zerg fights that gank groups have to have more and more. Hib actually has the best one (IMO), the animist, but still, it's hard to keep the animist alive against another good gank group.


Honestly my perfect group would be something like: bard, arborial animist, creeping path animist, bm, hero, hero, druid, druid, bard. (or a phelabard and 1 druid, for 2 mid battle mezzers 2 mid battle rooters or something).


I think casters ARE making a comeback now that people are getting smarter with defending against tanks (no gank group can survive without good roots now, and disease is turning so many battles in midgards favor its insane) and new caster abilities (earth theurg pets would get owned fast by one ae dd, but against a mellee group they destroy), but the game hasn't progressed enough to really make running casters work consistantly.


edit: HI TK<3

Beib, I agreed with everything you said until..


"d) We ran breif/gorge most of the night, takes longer than 15 mins to port buff and move through amg in one piece to get there. how long does it take you to get there and not emain?


If someone from our grp dies and (if) we decide to go to pk to rebuff them, we have to run back to emain, through amg, through other hibs, through mids to get to apk alive ourselves.


This is if everyone is with grp and not LD, logging, afk etc."


As hibs, having to do this over and over and over again...its not fun. Also, I'm sure you have people take afks while waiting for ports. You HAVE to go back to the real world some time, if just for brief periods. Preying on groups when half the members are afk is not fun, thats just rp whoring.


And also, you have all those nice RA's, faith heal, soldiers barricade, volcanic pillar, and the great BoF and SoS.

Yes my want for a Mana Eld goes up everytime I'm diseased...and goes back down as soon as they get mezzed and killed right off the bat.


Shamans have pbae disease and chain armor..


Cabbies have BoF and SoS...


In hib our disease guy goes down in 2 seconds flat.
