...complaining about this? you realize that the caster can't do anything useful while doing this right...



Except survive and cut my dps by 400%, if you run a heavy tank setup it can be very hampering, you need a caster assist.

You can have a trackball and mouse hooked up at the same time....

Someone doesn't know how to use a high dpi mouse properly or counter circle strafing either.

I don't understand exactly what the problem is. I guess people just don't give points for ingenuity like I do. I tip my cap to anyone creative enough to find ways to make the system work to their advantage. While this is the first I've heard of trackballin' I certainly applaud the pioneers on the frontier of that movement.

For the record I pride myself on having a near flawless tank-dancing technique. And no I don't own a trackball.

Great for you, but I could probably beat you easily if you try that on me unless you really are good at warping where you can't even get a melee style off one time. That has only happened to me once, and that one time is what made me make this post.

Wait I'm confused again. Is it a problem or are you just whining for the sake of whining?

The OP was a rage about a stupid exploit, can't you see that or were you fed crack and dropped on your head as a 4 year old?

Slow your roll chief. You thump your chest an awful lot for someone who makes a rage post at the first sign of a 'stupid exploit.'

The truth is you got bested by a player who knew just how to work your /stick and style ass, and like most rank 11 zerkers you just can't deal with not being able to kill anything and everything. Well tough titties Samson, the hair had to go sooner or later. I applaud the kid that said "**** that" when he saw you blow your zerker load and gave you a thorough backhand with his trackball.
