    im gonna have to say glacial spike is better in pvp than heaven's flame. why?

    double dmg is great and all, assuming u have it demon it last for 10 seconds, otherwise 6.

    glacial spike cuts armor in half. last 10 seconds regardless.

    double dmg vs half armor. half armor is more devastating.

    proof? gaurnob and polearm is an example, but try it against another players, ull see.

    no....

    GS dosent affect buffs only base

    diminishing returns mean that 1/2 of armor =/= 1/2 resists

    pole and nob 100% amp and fully reduce resists a bm can manage the amp and break comes from mire + GS

    only time i really use GS is when my HF is in cool down or as a

    GS+mire>spark pot>HF combo on the double wave in RB or on really long bosses with no risk of aggro rip (basicly in tt with a 8x barb)

    otherwise HF is better by far
    Gifs are hard to make work here

    Double damage vs. half armor, double damage is far more devastating. It's not like HF and GS are so rare to get, most bms have tried both out and the simple fact is that double damage lets you do more damage than halving their armour.

    Bad example.

    Polearm drops your defense more than -50%. It's more like -200%

    Under demon marrow, effect of demon bell and cleric buff I have 26k~27k pdef (75+75+150+60=+360%). After pole debuffed me I got 14~15k pdef.

    Assuming that pole debuffs me 200%, I'd been left with 160% boost in pdef. 160% with my gear is 15.8k pdef. So yeah pretty close

    We can see that pole's debuff is about -200% pdef.

    Now if we use dragon on someone with 26k pdef (87% resistance, so 13% taken), they take 26% damage total.

    If we use glacial on 26k pdef (87% resistance, so 13% taken), their pdef drops down to 23.7k(86% resist), they take 14% damage.

    Even someone with only 50% resist (50% taken), glacial only drops them down to ~39%(61% taken). Under the same condition dragon can do 100%.

    Even if glacial can drop def to 0 from say 10% resist (90% damage taken), ppl will only take full 100% damage. Dragon however can let ppl take 180% damage (90% taken before)

    ^this

    I'd add, focus mages/clerics if you can, drain WRs chi if you're hell.

    Call targets/assist also.

    bm's before flying were the best class for tw, i still think they are along side mages.

    only reason spectral puts up a fight is because they have 81/80 warriors in tw.. 6 second aoe stun in a small battlefield is op. for both attacking and defending, where as mages are more suited for defense.

    but i like it when my pretty blue dragon hits the pretty red dragon Q.Q
    Sins are Scissors. Psychics are Rocks.
    Archers, Venos, Barbs, Wizards, BMs, Mystics, Seekers are Paper.
    ...and Clerics are Mushrooms.
    Paper beats Rock. Scissors beats Paper. Scissors also happens to beat Rock...until Rock gets 50k+ soulforce at which point Rock becomes an unstoppable killing machine that beats Paper... and would beat Scissors but it can't find Scissors, because Scissors are invisible.
    So Scissors beat Paper and avoids Rock, and that is called BALANCE. -cheze

    BM can only help their guildies if they kno wat to do in TW
    like prepare chi pots, anti-stun pots, charm n all of those thingies
    But NOT every BM is willing to buy or make those stuffs that could protect themselves
    BM cant live w/out those stuffs, which mean they cant survive in TW, so u gotta prepare urself, pvp as practice for TW, it helps lil bit
    well thatz wat i think
