Hey Nos. I really hope you're not saying skill in Maelstrom correlates to skill in PvE: 12 man raids/producing optimal dps. Because I'm fairly sure Mashinate is talking strictly trials and producing optimal DPS.
While Vet maelstrom Arena does take skill, and no doubt Spero Sol is the best Nightblade at running at, at this point VMA is the same as VDSA, just solo.
1. Get lucky enough to not be one shot. Obviously his highest score run he had some luck. Every top score run does. I remember watching his stream and seeing him get mollywhopped on stage 5.
2. Know where all the spawns are. He obviously knows where the high priority enemies spawn for every round, and has formulated "routes" to kill them in the most efficient order.
3. Yes, you need high damage in there to pull off crazy scores, but Maelstrom is a solo instance.
As it's a solo instance, I wouldn't put it on the same scale. Does VDSA prove skill? Yes, at portal killing. But you can't use that as justification for skill in raids.
Maelstrom is a combination of luck, skill, and knowing the spawn points of everything, as well as more luck.
Comparing VMA to trial dps/raid skill is like comparing apples to elephants.
Anyway, not trying to start another argument, just pointing out the difference.

You can say whatever you'd like, I don't think im the best, by far, I have alot of space for improvement, but I know for a fact I do pull good numbers. Also, I wouldn't have been recruited into Hodor and Banana Squad Inc without being a decent player, arguing about vMA is kind of wierd, since I've never truly given it a good shot nor tried to figure out things. Im pretty poor at alot of things in this game, but I find myself to be a good DPS, and from reading what he says, I can definetly tell that he doesn't have a great understanding of what it takes to be a good DPS, it's not just what numbers you pull but rather more about being consistant.

Hey, what I was saying is that it isn't fair to say that vMA doesn't count when stating that someone is the best PvE nightblade, since it is PVE content. It takes a completely different set of skills than trials, but doesn't diminish the fact that it is PvE. To exclude it therefore would be inaccurate.
In trials it is really hard to say who is better at playing a class since your personal dps depends so much on the group. There are still many trials teams who cannot handle the stack and burn strategy on Manticora (yes believe it or not!). Maybe the group has 11 bad players and 1 amazing player (or maybe more), that amazing player will never be able to be amazing because the group is bringing him down. The converse of this could be that the group can carry someone if the player is bad and the player may get to do things he usually cannot in anew average scenario.
You put up 3 really good points about vMA, but I'll counter them:
1. You are right luck is important, but same luck is needed in trials so not really sure how that differs. One issue I have is that you attribute a ton to luck and while there are pure rng things that can kill you - flowers on 7. Majority of vMA is predictable learn able and completely not fun content. I cannot thinkle of a single rng Mechanic outside of stage 7 flowers that can't be prepared for.
2. Strategies also exist in trials and especially in vMoL they are very specific strategies.
3. It is a solo instance, so if anything that is the best way to know who is being carried and who is a better player. And this is coming from someone who is a lot better at trials than vMA.
4. I would say that it's a lot easier to be good at trials than vMA, because it's fairly easy (once you know the trial) to not mess up. You specialize in a single role - dps, tank, etc (usually). In vMA you are all 3 roles - harder than trials.

So @hedna123b14_ESO , how was the Crystal Blast build?

Hmmm not sure if I agree. I kind of do and kind of don't. I mean, I guess it's easier to do trials than maelstrom at a high level, however to pull 30k+ dps in every fight is remarkable and definitely amazing. I will say that they do take 2 different kinds of playstyle. Trials you go all dps, but you have to be defensive in Maelstrom.
That's the main reason I think Maelstrom and Trials should be kept separate in terms of skill. Yes, in trials you have to watch out for mechanics, but your also not going to be targeted by every adds attacks, forcing defensive play. You will never do as much dps in Maelstrom (not that it matters besides bosses) as you do in trials for numerous reasons: raid buffs, bar set up different, holding agro and trying not to die etc...
Basically what I'm trying to get across is being amazing in maelstrom doesn't mean, even with the right group, you'll automatically be pulling 30k+ dps.
I agree, the animosity needs to be turned down, but I love getting people fired up for competition. I'll admit (already have) that the Spero Sol thing is personal, so I tend to get livid when things are personal, but just because I have something against someone doesn't mean I'm blind to the facts. He's the best Maelstrom Mag NB. He's a pretty solid Mag NB when it comes to DPS. I watch his streams. I just don't think he has any right to say I suck when he's never seen me play.
I'm done with the bashing and nonsense. I've had my share for the day. Congrats on the clear CSH.

no. this is children who haven't gotten past the 'my dad is better than your dad' mentality and are somewhat re-tarded in their development.

Your vulgarity and inability to let things go adds you to the same problem in which I am speaking of. You can't remove yourself from a so called group of children and then go on and call people "re-tarded" and name call.
