Why do you want boss slayer scrapped? Its going to be so epic.

Inb4 its revamped to be a comp requirement.

Envious expression post here.

floors 1-30 hard mode done... I found it funny floor 30 was sub 15 minute, no deaths. Also 121m dungeoneering xp. Should see professional tackle box in a week guys!

What the hell... I thought we would get a BTS on sunday from what I saw on twitter from Chris L. I just remembered him saying Araxxor would be live streamed this sunday.

I guess ill post this. Im not entirely a enthused with the set of options, but maybe some of you are...

Next game update confirmed to be tuesday the 22nd from mod kelpie's twitter.

For most of EoC you definitely had to ability spam, until revolution came along. The whole point of EoC was spamming abilities.I don't count full manual as spamming, it's utilizing the options to optimize your damage output. Spamming implies using abilities without any thought process on how different abilities work together.Just because it's thoughtful doesn't mean it's not spamming. You learn the best rotations (which should take all but two seconds) and then you spam those reflexively. EoC is most definitely spamming, hell, the whole point is that the basic unit is special abilities (as opposed to autoattacks). This cannot be denied, semantics aside, that EoC is all about key mashing (a common term amongst EoCer's). I dont know... should i use dibilitate or barricade if im attacker and am up for provoking? Obviously dibilitate. Its button mashing if the ability effects are purely for dps. Nope... not ability mashing. DPS is one of the most important aspects of combat, particularly at high level PVM. Say RoTS or KK or Rago, most of the players on the team are DPS, and even those who aren't (tanks) have to focus on DPS at times. What does this consistent of? You ask someone, or find out yourself the best rotations for each phase/part and repeat them reflexively. It is definitely ability mashing. At low level combat, say slayer, you still need to spam abilities if you want fast kills, but you don't have to necessarily stick to a rotation, because they will die quickly. That was the picture pre-revolution. You are generalizing how players handle combat situations. If you were just button smashing it wouldnt matter what you used or what phase it is. People usually refer to those who button smash because they are hitting random buttons without knowing how it will effect the situation.

About time for another epic blog post! 37m strength while doing hard mode dung floors. And a big benchmark for milestones: 40m defense! If you can't tell I'm working on hard mode floor progress. I'm currently 20/60 floors. Pretty much working on fish flingers using '2flingfish' chat and doing hard modes. Since range is my lacking combat skill for xp I bound a sag hood and primal gaunts for them melee moments since I remember people saying stuff about them.

Still. The. Best. D&D. EVER!

I've been neglecting PoP for a while now :(How?... its the best D&D ever.

So jelly... where are your rock soups?!

You inspire me to collect keys for my offhand.

Is that fake resentment i smell?

Yeah i am all for it. I never figured out your rsn!

It finally happened... thank you panic sellers! I sold all my skilling supplies. I have my potions and food for araxxor though. Ill probably never get OH ascxbow. Next up is siesmic wand... whenever that happens.

Best discussion thats not a future update discussion. EVER!

[bleep] bought mine on saturday for like 189m -_______________________-Yeah i sold everything for skilling other than my rocks and soups.

Bought ascension crossbow 163m

Honestly it does boil down to reaction times a bit. For example i have times when im just doing qbd like every other day and get caught by the souls and what not. Then i have times when im drinking coffee and im well more aware and on edge dodging souls, kiting the soul shadows, and doing a lot of on the dot movements. Now you cant say "well of course you were drinking coffee." Coffee heightens your alertness and helps you reach higher reaction levels. Thats how some people can get that competitive edge on others.

I hope i can nab "urza."

Boss slayer stuff in future updates discussion.
