1. Ofcourse you could think twice and realize that stun nuke nuke isn't about stoicism/det tanks... as for Purge 5... so mids/albs needs to invest that many RA points to have a chance if they run solo into a hib stun caster.. great.. sounds balanced.. let's hope you won't need the purge to actually outplay the other party when he uses disease, nearsight, ... heaven forbid you actually would need some smarts to win a fight.

1. Purge 5(3) is on a 5 minute timer (READ less than det9(5)). Spend the points if your play style is such that you don't/won't have a heal for the ~6 seconds you'll be stunned.
2. Getting caught with your pants down is on you it's just a nice way of saying you played poorly. And if you can manage to repeatedly get caught with your pants down in 2x in < 5 minutes then DAOC might not be the game for you. Might I suggest..

Hibs have lower spec delves you mean they have to buy RAs to hit as hard. Different races have different stats you mean they have to buy RAs.... a game with 45 classes isn't all the same as a game with 1 class...... blah blah blah blah

2. 170 L50 hibs in thid... makes it kind of hard to not get caught with your pants down... heck with the lag you'll get stunned before you even see the other player.

So now you are "soloing" in the middle of an enemy zerg?

Anyway it's your typical 'leet response... in the ideal world where everybody runs a balanced group in the open field, stun nuke nuke isn't a problem.. and it wouldn't be a problem for that type of players if that spell was removed anyway, so why does it matter that much to you then anyway?!
Shield slam, which is a 42 spec pt ability and requires melee range has finally been toned down... yet the 8s free 1500 range stun on classes that do way more damage in the duration of that stun, get to keep it.

Actually it's not leet at all bud. And it has nothing to do with groups or balanced groups or open field so you can toss that 2003 insta-reflex defense too. If you plan to continue to go to the Standard List of Excuses for Bad Players Hand Book could you at least try to choose some from the current era. It's 2011 now and 'stun nuke' and 'leetist' and 'lag fest' and everything you've said so far are all dated like stale milk. On the other hand that's why you are such an interesting specimen too. It's that you've been around so long and haven't adapted at all that I hope can be a cautionary tale for others. For the record how high realm rank are the characters you are playing that are having such difficulty with stun nuke? If I had to gamble I'd be going with 9+.
Now as to my actual earlier response, I qualified my responses by invoking an unknown abstract play style because the value of abilities depends highly on play context. Concretely speaking however, if you are a soloer you run high purge or you are an idiot. (This much is true for virtually any class the main exceptions being necros and heavy tanks neither of which really have to deal with stun nuke so I'm assuming you aren't one of them.)
So now that I've cleared up that it's not about me or some perceived 'leet response' let's get back to your whine.
All you did was further demonstrate that your play style is somewhere between absurd and just plain idiotic. You are literally crying about running around solo in the middle of "170 L50 hibs".. so were talking around 2x that many total enemies, in a miniscule amount of space on thid(during an RP farm event mind you), and supposedly your "soloing" (you haven't mentioned how many realm friends you are next to) is ruined by stun nuke.
Seriously, what possible "solo" fight could you have in that area that you could win? Running into an afk level 40 at a zone wall?? Or is it more that you are just leeching in a zerg and a sad pants frowny face sometimes because you get blown up sometimes.
Good god, cry more.
