    Why be a dick about it? You obviously haven't beat the damn thing, so you have no idea whether you can get 2hrs back or not. Stop hating on people who have ideas. eventually someone is gonna come up with a good idea and your gonna throw hate on it and your gonna feel like a fucking moron when it works. I'll be {over there} LOLing.

    I only popped in to ask if anyone has done the 13-14 2hr elimination test yet, seeing if you use everything but EES and Mijin when he 2hrs, if he then is forced to only use EES or Mijin (hopefully EES because Wynavs would hopefully not be up).

    I just don't see how people can be throwing this idea away completely. The damn Devs are not spamming 2hrs for their health. ._.

    It appears some progress was made on the 'retaliation' ideas, that just needs obvious honing which is hard to do when you're.. dying.

    Sath, rant away to me in PM; I can't promise I'll ban/warn/edit anyone, but I will probably at least agree with you.

AV pops it.. alliance pops 2 hours.. then a RDM uses Chailspell to match AVs... i dont really think we can lock AVs 2 hours.. but this might be the method to getting our 2 hours refreshed...

    I love how all these people who have these glorious ideas are probably still wiping to Hope and Prudence on a regular basis.

    flawed logic. Just because I don't understand how a car engine works doesn't mean I can't say that it doesn't run off of apple juice. you see, common sense is a really nice thing to have.
    And when someone comes with a GOOD idea people are going to say "that's a good idea" because it will make fucking sense and not have been tried 398493249 times.

    Wow, thanks so much for the useless feedback Godly. Read the 60+ page thread we all have read, then see that you don't have anything new to add.

    Thanks for being the first person to post in this thread with 1 post who I haven't physically tried to climb through my computer over, to strangle of course.

    People don't have to read the 60+ page thread. But if you do not read every word of the OP that Rocl so nicely put up. And I mean read. Not skimmed or glaced over. Then maybe you won't get dick slapped by everyone.

    Re: Absolute Virtue & You: A Learning Experience

    Warning: the following post is very gay and stupid

    So, I'm thinking, the only way to make AV less rape is to fight and demonstrate you have all virtues.... like you know... hope and faith and love and shit.

    Maybe that's why the PLD in the SE video was tanking in such a craptastic set up. Koenig + Earth staff. For the alliance to let him tank in that, they had to have FAITH in their PLD.

    RDM meleeing? HOPE, baby. Hope to god RDM DD is strong enough.

    Letting your DRK DD full time on AV? Showing LOVE to DRK.

    Skillchain and MB? For great JUSTICE.

    I'd do more but I don't know what the fuck Prudence and Temperance mean.

    Because after two threads of repeated nonsense, people still don't seem to get it. We're trying to compile a list, a serious list of things that have been tried and either worked or failed. People however, seem to no understand the fact that if they keep spatting out useless theories and overloading everyone with information, things wont be tested. Secondly with all this shit being thrown around, the serious theories drawn from the video's of my linkshell and whoever else get drowned in this sea of bullshit.

    Do I need to beat it to know if it resets 2hours? No, actually I don't theres not a chance in hell it does, hating? Why don't you pop and lose some exp, then you can find out if it resets your 2hour genius.

    Re: Absolute Virtue & You: A Learning Experience

    hesitant to even comment, I've been reading the threads pretty thoroughly til it all turned into a giant shit-throwing contest of "here's my idea" followed by 5 posts of "didn't you read the last 1000 pages of recycled ideas?!"

    anyhow, after watching the video 3 times, I often wonder why the topic of all the frontline people using 2handed weapons seems to not be making ANY of the damn lists of "suggested strategies". the few posts i saw of people who actually noticed this/brought this up seemed to get burned into the ground immediately. like I probably will be, but honestly don't give a shit.

    it seems the general thought is "well I justh don't want to becausthe i <3'sth my Aegisth" or "sthield sthkill isth better defensth then earth sthaff" they obviously had a reason for it?

    like i said. I just don't understand why it's not even listed in the big list of suggested strategies...

    Thank you for coming back Ashira. THIS is what needs to be testing, and I'm a little annoyed that the "reactionary" and Aern stuff has distracted from it.

    I was thinking about the test where all 15 jobs 2-houred to meet AV's 2-hour... if matching a 2-hour with our own only reduces the chance of that 2-hour by a %, then all 15 jobs 2-hour-ing would cancel itself out and have no effect.

    I also agree with Elipse in that kiting with RDM's is another good idea to come out of this thread, and shouldn't be ignored.

    Because it's meaningless. The DD were using 2-handed weapons because that's what they use. The rest were using earth staves to reduce damage. You are ignoring the obvious message of the video and looking for "secret hints," which almost certainly don't exist as SE is not that clever. Stop trying to be a hero.

    SE is not that clever
    Yet, they're clever enough to build a game with creatures that cannot be beaten, with a metric fuck ton of people world-wide who pay to obsess over it.

    I still think that this will not be acheivable until the March update. Only time will tell.

    Creating a creature with an obscure solution is not cleverness. Okay, maybe they're a little clever... (it's a cool game and all) let me put it another way. Creating a video in which the obvious solution is a red herring, while the real solution is some minor detail of the video that is not obvious, would be a sneaky, devious, almost sadistic thing to do. This is not SE's style.

    The video should be taken at face value. FACE VALUE.
