Anyone else noticing duelist hate? I went into FC perilous and got ragged on soon as I entered the lobby with mine. Course I had to kill everything I could to shut them up.
Hate as in? Anyone that rags on a duelist thinking they are bad has simply played with some poor players. Most people I've played with do very well with them.

The only hate I might see when I use duelist is for rampant kill stealing. I can't even blame them; it's not exactly fun for them when they don't get to do much.
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Reave --
I regret to inform you that your daughter,Tamar, died in the line of duty. After valiantly fighting off wave after wave of Bolters in the upper reaches of Ferelden Castle, she and her Arcane Warrior companion made their way to the top of the tower. There they managed to kill off many drakes before the Arcane Warrior fell upon the field. Left alone, Tamar struggled to eliminate the threat of the storm dragon that's been terrorizing Thedas but, in the end, was a victim of her own stupidity. Fighting along the edges of the castle, low on supplies, reaching for her last healing mist she tossed it valiantly only to watch in despair as it landed many meters away among some drakes.
With my deepest condolences,
Inquisition Captain Smythe
Hate as in "oh great another duelist, bet he dies in the first zone" or other comments about what skills I must have on izzy
I've seen some suicidal duelists. One game she died three times in zone 1 because she kept charging headlong in to the enemies. This was perilous and she had starting armor so I had no idea what they were thinking; other than confusing the silent sister with the duelist.
I had something utterly shocking happen in a game last night; someone actually retreated to my keeper for a barrier. Usually everyone else rushes ahead and leaves me in the dust to barrier myself.

No!
Damn that's funny
I wish you had managed to connect to my game now. You just missed the dragon runs when you joined lol
I was on the 4th wave of FC perilous when I got your invite. Luckily we managed to finish up pretty quickly so I left the group as fast as I could to join your party. Tried to join, kicked back to main screen, lost connection to the session :/
And when I tried to rejoin again someone else grabbed the spot, just my luck.

I swear the most success feeling comes from playing Keeper. When all other 3 runs total different direction from you and you with some miracle manage to barrier all of them still somehow, you just really get the feel that you are something, made the impossible into reality.

Well...there is that issue of the restraining order you have on me...;^)
I just realised how annoying NM RT are for AW. All these horrors, my chain lightning was very sad.
In completely unrelated news, 50 runs and still just one Hakkon, RNGesus hates me I guess.

Nah, nah, it's not you, it's the beard. That thing is a crime against humanity.

Arcane Warrior: We stand as one!
Group splits off into four different directions.

Just too awkward being around that AW guy with the crotch-spinning stave.

Now where did I put that gif...
my last PUG I dropped in to nightmare, the guys says should we go back to perilous? I hit ready and they ready up.ok here we go!
Under the bridge, first group of demons, all 3 go down and I am slinging daggers like Elvis at a buffet. They fade out and the 3rd split permanent one goes out and comes back and fades again. I finish up the first level we raise everyone by using the door.@ level 2 a Lego joins in and the 2 drop and fade like used laundry in the sun. Level 2-4 the sister and the lego slug it out and pretty much have a great time. End of Level 4 Lego just leaves. POOF. a dozen or so demons and we are ready for the dragon.
I hit the rolodex, I am gonna use a lifeline and phone a friend.
A big shout out to Carbon_Bishop who I called in for some dragon steaks. The 2 lowers did really well for a while on the Dragon but I got to say thanks again to my buddy Carbon_Bishop saved a long NM run from being scrapped.
My reward? 4 yes count them 4 wonderful grey items for an hour and a half freakin NM run.
Oh well it was fun.
Did about 3 runs with Carbon lastnight as well, was interesting since I was lagging a bit. But darkspawn love them skittles, them bolters couldn't get enough of them.
Unexciting, except for the last match. Butt Demon kicked our asses. Made sure to Fade out in a compromising position on Izzy. I blame DragonRacer for all the demons I pulled though.
Wow, two shout outs in this thread for little old me! I feel special!
Couldn't sleep last night, decided to level a couple 1's.
Hop into an ongoing Perilous match. Map is the Tevinter Ruins. There is a high level Reaver, Hunter and Arcane Warrior. I decide to bring my Zither. Everything is going smoothly through Zone 2(I zoned in at the end of Zone 1). These guys were having a pretty rough go of it but for the most part we stuck together and got all the doors until our Reaver runs ahead and I decide to follow in Zone 3. Well, he gets pretty much instagibbed by two despair demons. I'm stuck with the final encounter on Zone 3 all by my lonesome. The filthy cows knocked me off trying to rez him twice before I said screw it and abandoned rezing the Reaver. Apparently that pissed the Reaver off as when I finished the corpse was no where to be found.
At this point I'm a little concerned...I'm the second best DPS we've got behind this Hunter who seems quite squishy even though they had their "25 NM completion portrait" and a Hakkon bow. Another AW joins...another low DPS class. Whatever. We get through Zone 4 without any real hiccups.
Zone 5...we have the map with the long staircase of death as Beerfish calls it. I actually really like this room, especially since we're fighting Demons and you can get the commander stuck almost immediately. As we're running up the stairs I use the "Over Here" button and jump a couple times.
We plant the flag and I start running back to the room...NOPE...rest of the team isn't having it they just stand by the flag in the open. Our Hunter has gone down 3x already, so keeping it alive was my main concern. AW's should be able to take care of themselves...it is Demons after all. I pop a Lyrium potion and start spamming barrier/auto attacking. Everything is going OK, Hunter had a couple close calls but was able to get his health back through HOK while barrier was up. We have the Demon commander down to about 25% health and a decent chunk of mobs taken out when he finally falls. We're down to the two AW's and myself. BOTH Arcane Warriors get killed with the exact same demon commander ninja from the ground attack...great now I gotta get these two up ASAP.
I pop rock armor and start to rez the Arcane Warrior with upgraded armor. Soon as I get him up he dies instantly to a terror. Start to rez the other guy, I get knocked off his corpse with 0.1 seconds to go. I'm frustrated at this point. Have to chug a potion. Go back to rezzing, FINALLY, I get one up and begin the barrier spam. I popped another Rock Armor and got the other guy up. Our DPS is terrible. They refuse to focus on the DC so its just hounding me. I end up having to pop my other healing pot and a second Lyrium potion just to keep their barriers up. We were able to take down the DC and kill the last remaining mobs...it was over.
/phew
Surprisingly, the lesser of the two AW's (skivvies) and the Hunter stick around. I swap over to my Keeper(last level 1) and ready up. They do as well. This time we get Elvin Ruins against Darkspawn. Immediately, I'm like oh boy this is gonna be a train-wreck. But, we actually cruised through the first zone really easily...got the door and pots. In Zone 2 another Keeper joins, seriously...a keeper? We have an AW and a Keeper already...ugh...whatever.
Well, this Keeper was actually a pretty good barrier bot...so I've become absolutely useless other than the occasional barrier in a tight spot and CL/Auto attacks. I just shadowed the Hunter. We get to Zone 3 with 0 issues. In Zone 3 the AW got a little "I Can SOLO the MOON" happy and ended up dying twice, but the rest of us stuck together and got through it. Zone 4 and those pesky machine-gunners almost did us in. I was last man standing at one point with a rock armor potion and got the Hunter up just before I died. Those machine gunners are no joke. I pretty much feel invincible in Perilous most of the time. He popped a rock armor potion of his own and rez'd me. We got the other Keeper up and it fell immediately. Hunter died again as soon as their potion ran out. I was forced to use a second Rock armor to rez them both. They both died again before the round was over but we ended up pulling it off. I have only one healing potion left and everyone is one death from the fade but myself. I'm not optimistic.
We plant the flag(big map with the outer pathway and the elevated arena in the middle) and then "over here" and run us into a corner of the outside of the map. AW fades almost instantly. The Hunter and Keeper are huddled up. This is my first attempt at the Darkspawn Wave 5 boss so I'm just trying to get a look at it before the match ends. Well, we do pretty good. Hunter and Keeper stayed up for a while. Eventually I had way too much stuff aggro'd on me, including the faction boss, and beelined for the exit so I could kite them around the outer pathway. I get about halfway around the map when I notice both of my comrades had fallen(I got a full heal from the Keeper death). So I just started the boring method of Chain Lighting, run around a corner. Barrier auto attack until its gone and run around a corner. I whittle it down to basically the boss...get bored and decide its not going to happen and let the mooks kill me. Hey, at least it was an entertaining game. We get back to the lobby screen...all 3 ready up.
I decided to go to bed.

After my last three nights, I'd say this is about right for the state of PC Perilous pugging too. I don't mind it (honestly glad to see there's that much interest in this game from newer players), but it's funny to read these forums during the day and then see what the rest of the playerbase is going through when I play at night. I sometimes forget we only interact with a fraction of a fraction of the playerbase here.
Retour en haut
+ a new armor for my Necro from the same chest
