No, because saying 'mechanics' and not elaborating in the least means you just posted to say nothing.

At any rate, the talk of Occultists today is no different from years ago when gremlins were superspeed, Pit was on viagra, AF (and bw) weren't actively strippable and etc. Nothing constructive is happening, so nothing to add to this discussion...

Yes, you're exactly right, I did everything as I said. I did post nothing - because this discussion is not being constructive, and people are taking sides for the same reasons (they share the sides). Nobody is willing to consider the dialogue from the opposite side - it's just back and forth sniping, nor take the time to completely analyse the situation, see the pro/cons, decide on what needs to be adjusted and on all skills involved and so on.

All I did was point that out! Nothing will come out of this at the current rate.

Terra

Eh. I don't really care for any mechanics that lead to one person doing one thing that uses balance (throwing orb) and another person doing another thing that also uses balance or eq (summoning ent) over and over until one person runs out (of pacts or sigils). It's kinda boring and I can't bother myself to fight that way.

However, comparing that to buffed cube sigils or using totems in a duel aren't really good comparisons. Cube sigils don't require the use of balance at all and that changes the mechanic entirely. Totems help kill people. Orb sigils don't.

Overall, I think some amount of restraint could be used, at the very least, against lower level, non-tri-trans combatants who are offering to duel when hardly anyone else does.

Zeon

Problem with banishment 1v1 is that it cripples an already terrible 1v1 class. Occie 1v1 completely depends upon being artied and your enemy being outdoors, or your enemy making a terrible terrible mistake (the kind of mistake that becomes less and less common with every new generation of cure systems). Passively removing 1/3 of an already bad 1v1 class is severe overkill.

Occie 1v1 relies on heavy luck and/or your enemy messing up. Or waiting for them to run out of willpower/food. You could -easily- script something to tumble on behead or death tarots/possible death tarots, while staying in doors and afk vs an occultist. At least until you run out of will and food.

Aktillum

I played an Occie around '06 when everyone was using ACP, and I couldn't kill anyone with sic ents / fling aeon. I suck at this game so freaking hard.

That is why I was using the orb sigils. I just could not survive long enough without them to really do anything other than die. Someone helped me with a strategy to deal with the ents without the orbs, but I really did not mean to be lame or anything of that nature. I just did not want to die in 45 seconds. Sorry if you thought I was trying to be mean.

Jarrod

@Namino - I'm unsure if you're missing the part where you can kill the mount, or that artie mounts (for those that use them) aren't easily obtained.

Either way, it's good to know you still don't understand anything.

Iocun

I'm mostly annoyed that @Grandue got quadruple phase at the end. As if @Tvistor's double phase wasn't bad enough.

Namino

@Jarrod

And I'm not sure if you're aware you can resummon banished entities much faster than I can kill a mount.

Neither one of these are total gamebreakers, but if you guys get to whine about having the enormous disadvantage of having a 4s equilibrium break in your offense, then I damn well get to complain about having to alter my target for 30 seconds to a minute to indefinitely.

And as an aside while I have everyone's attention:

I was only there for Terra and she knew that. About 90% of the time you guys are too boring to move outside your safe room, so yeah, most of the time I go there knowing it is a possibility to be ganked but 9 times out of 10 I'm only going to be able to stir one of you off your butts to come play.  I'm not complaining and I don't mind when it does happen, I'm just making note that the 3v1s happen both ways.

As a side note, I'm pretty sure the Admins purposely put the safe room at the farthest possibly location in the world from the nearest cloud exit. My god that makes skirmishing with the refugees a bloody chore, every time I hit clouds I've got to make the decision whether or not it is worth continuing the fight and walking the 100 miles back to the island or if I would just rather go NW and afk while I play something else. Seriously, can we PLEASE get a temporary cloud exit closer to the island? /rant
