Not so random

Post by Pheonixhawk »

I just fought another lvl 75 Rdm like me 1 on 1 and let me tell ya. Im not sure if Rdm's are immortal, but it sure as hell feels like it. Cause I was pwning him, and Im all like come on... get on with it. Everytime I got hiim close to death, he Cured himself (as did I), the fight lasted nearly for 1 hour until I gave the final blow (Thunder III FTW). How and why did I win? Simply because I was smart enough to use ALL of my buffs and he wasnt. Why he didnt use En-spells, or Spikes or even Aquaviel I dont know. But they gave me the edge. I got interuppted less, and I was doing about an additional 14-18 points of damage everytime I got hit/hit. I also casted Bio III while he only had dia II. (Not sure how much of a difference it made). We Both agreed not to chainspell or use silence, to make it a fair fight.

congrats!

Bio II/III makes a pretty hefty difference if you're just fighting one target. The -10-15% Attk let's your Stoneskin stay up longer, reduces how much you do get hit for, etc. The DoT combined with Poison II hurts lots too :lol:

Bio reduces Att while Dia reduces Def. So your Bio meant your Stoneskin lasted longer, while his Dia was pretty much just DoT, and that Dot went to eating your Stoneskin, not you. To top it off your Bio ate away at his Stoneskin faster than his Dia ate yours. On that bassis alone, I would expect you to win.

I thought this was pretty funny. It was the bazaar message of a RDM I partied with: "I'm a God to you people! Chuck Norris ain't got sh*t on me!"
