Max, be nice, English isn't his mother tongue.
I am being nice, and helpful, and all that shit.
I just found it funny to say "IT DECAYS OVER TIME!" in caps, so I carried it further.
When have I ever said they do not work like that? You think that only because VE is volatile, and decays over time, it can't reach the cap?
Let's see if examples work better for you.
0 sec-> 0 VE
Flash-> +1600 VE -> Total VE 1600
25 sec-> -1500 VE (60x25) -> Total VE 100
Flash-> +1600 VE -> Total VE 1700
Cure4 for 400 HP -> +2200 VE -> Total VE 3900
50 sec-> -1500 VE-> Total VE 2400
Flash-> +1600 VE -> Total VE 4000
Cure4 for 400 HP -> +2200 VE -> Total VE 6200
75 sec -> -1500 VE -> Total VE 4700
Flash-> +1600 VE -> Total VE 6300
and so on.
Can you see that the VE is raising, despite it decaying over time? That is simply because a Flash every 25 secs is enough to outdo the decay rate, and actions that give VE actually add up to the Total VE. Eventually after 5 Cure4s or other actions that give VE like Sentinel, you'll be at the cap of 10.000 very quickly, and at which point, let me repeat it, one flash every 25secs is enough to keep you at the VE cap.
It's true that once you are at the cap, one second before recasting Flash you will be at 8500ish VE, but if you are /rdm you should use spells like Blind or Bind (which cost 10mp) Sleep and Sleep2 (which are 19 and 29 mp) to keep yourself close to VE cap between Flashs, rather than using Cure4 which is 88mp. That was the point of my whole argumentation. Cure4 is not as effective for hate at some point, especially if you have to get hit to use it (thus losing CE). If you don't get what I mean here, read Stan's statement I have quoted on my first post.
You are missing my point completely, I'm not debating that /rdm is not a good sub for PLD. What i'm saying is the idea of getting hit by an AoE for 400dmg on purpose, to then proceed to cure4 yourself for hate, is useless once you're 5mins+ into the fight and you're just losing CE and MP, for the reasons I have described above.The point of spell spam like dispel, flash, and cure, is to build up your CE rapidly, hit 10k and cap it out, and use as many volatile hate tools as you can to maintain a high VE level.
The way you are describing it, War should be a much better tank, but the only way we can really build CE is hurting things, and our VE tool, Provoke, is just an attention grabber which is gone by the time it's back up again.
You would have a better point, except that Dispel gives such a large chunk of CE to mix in with your rotation.
Get hit, lose 400 CE.
Cure yourself, gain 360 CE.
Cast Dispel, gain 320 CE.
Cast Flash, gain 180 CE.
vs
Lose shadow, lose 25 CE.
Macroswap Cure for 360 CE.
Cast Flash for 180 CE.
You get in slightly more flashes over time just from the fast cast of Pld/Rdm, and you gain access to the CE spells of /Rdm, of which several have large VE components.
Abused correctly, this is a very good way to tank, losing 40~ CE per hit/cure pairing (assuming you lost 400 CE from the hit, and didn't macroswap cure anyways), but gaining from all the tools you can spam.
I c wut you did thar, now you can go if you don't have any useful argumentation.
PLDs can cap VE in about 30 seconds to start a fight using Sentinel. Say you have +20 enmity (pretty good assumption you have at least 20)
Sentinel (1800VE*1.2 = 2160VE)
Flash (1280VEx2 = 2560VE)
Self Cure Macro (1701VEx2 = 2802VE)
That's 7522 already in about 5 seconds. Couple other JAs and another Flash when recast is up will let you at least hit cap. It's actually really really impressive how strong PLD is at VE retention, even without using any sub magic or abilities. PLD was not nearly as strong "back in the day", but the Sentinel upgrade PLD received a few years back was quite game breaking for PLDs.
Sadly for PLD/WAR lovers, there's very little point to subbing /WAR at 75... PLD without sub caps VE so easily, which is all the added /WAR provoke provides. Defender is nice, but if you really really wanted defense, /BLU does this as well. I personally feel if PLDs in game moved towards blood tanking, it would end up being a battle between /DRK and /RDM, and /WAR becomes even more obscure due to lack of CE gaining abilities.
A fact? Are you fucking serious? I'm sorry but any LS that Stan runs is a fail LS just cause of the person he is and how stupid the members are. Just cause they have relics dont mean they are good players. (cue excellence wiping to kirin.jpg)~ I have to dig this out just to show you how Stan fails in many many ways.
- Stanislav was the leader of Excellence on Hades.
Stanislav has stolen their linkshell bank in the past.
Stanislav has RMTed his character in the past.
Despite all this, Stanislav is once again the leader of Excellence.
Stanislav buys gil.
Stanislav owes a lot of people a lot of money.
Stanislav has 3 relics; Aegis, Excalibur, and Apocalypse.
Stanislav has a Maat's Cap.
- Excellence blames other linkshells for ruining Hades endgame.
Excellence is the original cause for ruining Hades' endgame.
Excellence openly bots and cheats.
Half of Excellence split and moved to a different server.
Excellence views themselves as the greatest linkshell not only on Hades, but in the game ever.
Excellence has a one-relic minimum to join.
Credit to Talint
My 2 cents on this thread: Absolutely no one has attempted to dispute bolded lines. No self-respecting LS would let this kind of player in(or back in) the shell(or back as a leader of said shell) and no self-respecting player would want to be in a LS that so clearly has no morals.
- Silvara
these are old quotes from a locked thread
I read it, but what's the point of quoting/posting outdated and incorrect information? guy
Always fun to see someone who has never even spoken to someone know so much about them?
- Stanislav was the leader of Excellence on Hades. True, the linkshell was created in December 04.
Stanislav has stolen their linkshell bank in the past. False, the person who posted the thread even deleted it, just because someone says something doesn't mean it's true? He could have at least provided some proof. You think if I go around saying you stole 50m long enough from me, people won't start repeating it?
Stanislav has RMTed his character in the past. True, wanted to quit the game permanently and thought that selling it would provide that, and at same time wanted to prove a point to my parents.
Despite all this, Stanislav is once again the leader of Excellence. Despite what? When I got my character back and came back people were almost begging to rejoin the linkshell and lead it. Maybe if you ever were in Excellence you would understand why. You have no idea what quality lead linkshell is.
Stanislav buys gil. False... lol.. Yes I sold my account, but what leads anyone to believe I buy gil? 2 relics of mine were completely funded from linkshell and the other 2 50% (as the rest of the linkshell). I don't have anything on my character that even screams gil buyer, don't even have a Kraken Club lol.
Stanislav owes a lot of people a lot of money. False! Owed! Only thing I owed is 30m+ for Apocalypse and selling my Speed Belt covered that after finally getting a V Belt.
Stanislav has 3 relics; Aegis, Excalibur, and Apocalypse False! I have 4 =)
Stanislav has a Maat's Cap. True! Wow, you got 3 facts right!
- Excellence blames other linkshells for ruining Hades endgame. Yes we do! Linkshells that recruit 80 members and zerg everything and at the same time let people lot multiple pairs of gaiters because they can, or Ridills for their level 5 jobs? How can anyone call that good competition.
Excellence is the original cause for ruining Hades' endgame. End-game is bad because of poor competition (skill wise), and I don't exactly see how thats our fault.
Excellence openly bots and cheats. Excellence openly botted, but not exactly a past time of the linkshell anymore, however I am not saying not everyone does it. Every linkshell on this server bots, stop crying already. You are in a linkshell that is using Maury's packet bot? Do you have any room to talk?
Half of Excellence split and moved to a different server. YESSSSSS! Got rid of all the UAE garbage the linkshell had that has plagued the linkshell since day one.
Excellence views themselves as the greatest linkshell not only on Hades, but in the game ever.
Not going to deny this one =\
Excellence has a one-relic minimum to join.
Not exactly, thats what we put there when we don't want new members.
Talint is your source? A no body on Hades that doesn't even do end-game? The only reason I know him is because check everyone I walk by, the average person has no idea who he even is.
As for the Kirin wipe, my god! Get over yourself please? One wipe in years? It was 12 people with 2 new WHM members who are both not in the linkshell after their trial was over. I am sorry but the linkshell you are in has wiped to Khimaira (oh god.. I miss Mercury vs Poisoned wars), I am not going to go around saying Poisoned sucks because they wiped to Khimaira.
Either way your creditability would be better if you weren't such a hypocrite considering the people you are associated with, but I am admired how you continuously troll on anything related to me without knowing me. Its cute!
People must definitely be stupid in Excellence considering what the linkshell has provided to most of them. Example: http://stanislav.ex-online.com/?p=114. If that's what you call being brainwashed and used, then I am sure most people wouldn't mind being used.
We really need an entire section of the forum split off just for stan/excellence haters.![]()
How am I Q_Qing? What am I bitter about? Please tell me cause I dont know myself. I already stated that those are not my words and they are old, it was a example of what Stan and his LS is.
The point is that he uses his LS for own personal gain, You cant use 4 relics at the same time, maybe 2 but not 4.
Wow, and yet you still lieeeeee omg.. Stan please it was better if you didn't post anything at all, you should at least know that cause no one is going to believe you.
Claiming that you didnt steal bank lolololol
Claiming that you don't bot. lol...... (I think that was the reason you are Leader again cause you could claimbot good)
And its funny how everytime we have these "Stan bash" moments you seem to change yer storys.
It also does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that yer LS is a piece of shit LS. I don't know this Talint fellow but he had a good point.
/complete-and-utter-derail
I posted this back when I was trying to do endgame things, and having to be really annoyed at watching linkshells do three hour NQ Behemoth marathons of fail and annoyance. I've since quit doing (most) endgame things, and I've longed since stopped caring (mostly) about what Excellence does with its time.
I've surrendered the idea that endgame is for me for a few months now; at least on Hades. It's just too much of a giant clusterfuck shitfest.
This is the horrible derail because the guy complaining uses Maury's packet bot anyway. Pot, kettle, etc., now gtfo and let's get back on a more interesting subject. Like Claustrums. Anybody got some Claustrum?
Why do you always have to be a cockblocker?
