spammed by a non-talent

"Now, I boast a toast to all the awesome kill screens I have received. Usually, I see an array of four different enemies on it. But, sometimes I run into this one non-talented person that just makes me rage quit. Now, it's not the fact that he killed me. That's not what ticks me off. What ticks me off, is that, they just push one button to do it. We know this most commonly as Raging Blow, or Ambush. That's the most lack of art I ever seen in warfare, and surely takes a non-skilled person to just spam a button. It ruins it for me. I respect a death to a person who actually knows an original rotation to someone that does that spam. If anything it makes them look stupid. Please keep yourselves some dignity."

Interesting. "Dr" Shred. And what exactly are you a Dr of?

Nah I agree. I don't rage about it but a person just spamming one skill in PVP against you really is an annoyance. It shows no ability at all. Merely lack of it.

On the other hand, why use something complicated when a simple solution works?

I don't blame the player for this one...

if you die from someone spamming one skill you diserve it... Why should I have a rotation if spamming works on you? Why should I display my ability if y ou dont diserve it.... For sure the dead Guy was son technical.

Not going to lie, sometimes when I get super pissed off by a particular player, or when i'm playing against guildies and engaging in friendly, mutual guildie trolling, i'll log onto my Stamblade, sneak up behind said-***-face/guildie, and then Wrecking Blow them to death as an expression of my hatred/love.

Or, if they're too good to kill that way, just a single WB from stealth, preferably from a height of some sort, and then stealth away giggling like a teen who just smacked a doorbell and ran away into some bushes

Just saying, sometimes people have a motivation for spamming a skill beyond just being bad at the game. I know some guildies and I have trolled certain players with ambush spam specifically because of how hilariously dickish it is. We've also tried out "spampeding" people (spamming stampede, it's surprisingly effective and you feel like just as much of an *** as if you spammed Lotus Fan or Ambush!).

I don't put the blame entirely on player, but the skills itself. They really should fix insta-spam abilities. There's just no substance to originality.

Hardly. It works on anyone, if people have the gear to spam it. Again, it lacks originality.

Mario80

It works on anyone? I guess we are not playing the same game. Ask for cooldown lol

Don't know...
I tried kill a few people with wrecking blow once, just as a experiment - I ended up dead faster than i could blink, and funny thing is - none of my WB's landed on them as they knew how to counter it.

So... what does that mean? Learn2Counter? Not exactly sure.
It works (against noobs) but by no means it works as a viable kill method against someone who has spent more than a week in Cyrodiil...

I have died to some of this - yes, but not because I am clueless, but because i often get cocky and overconfident - thinking i got him - my opponent in the bag and let my guard down and tunnel-vision on his health rather than watching his rotation and skills. But those sort of deaths are far and few between. 90% of my deaths consist of being zerged by a group or lag prevents me from doing something as simple as swapping my weapons.

TL;DR - blame yourself for not knowing how to counter said skills.

Yea, I just started this Heal Temp, he's low. You may be spot on, on that. Egon. Still though, how does that help bring in new players if they just get wrecked when they get into the fights? I mean shouldn't there be some kind of medium in NON-VET.

Oh yea, I am talking not-vet grounds. Oops, anyway, this was just meant to be a fun little rant. I don't play warcraft anymore, but at least they had a common meeting ground on the new areas. maybe there should be two levels to Non-Vet? 10-24 then 25-50? IDK. Just a fun little thought.
