    Raging tides forums activity is directly proportional to lack of ingame activity b:laugh

    LOL its true statement. I think I put in a forum post after tanking vs Vicious in some other TW that took place during the 6 person squad days. With barbs like Man, Linc, myself and several other R9 barbs I was trying to say we should have used our strength in barbs the way vicious uses its strength in R9 archers. The fact of the matter was and still is that no other char can tie up more opponents in a TW at one time than a well built Catabarb.



    I wouldn't be worth having in front of a catapult in TW if I couldn't handle a handful of people.

    Same would be for Man, Linc or any other big barb on the server. You don't one shot catabarbs in cata pulling mode. We are built to take that kind of damage. Any barb that wants to get into TW on this level and pull catas MUST be able to stand up for a while against those numbers or shouldn't bother carrying catascrolls.

    HOWEVER, big difference Mal, for a catabarb who's success is measured by how much damage they can do to a tower or crystal, is that while standing up to that many R9 +12 for any length of time is pretty difficult to do, I do not feel the need to post videos about it saying "Insert Faction Name here) is weak and so fail because it takes 12-18 people to take out one barb"

    That is what I was talking about in this post. It wasnt a specific indictment on Mav, just a general commentary on seeing all the "HOW GREAT I THINK I AM" vids that have been over edited to take out the times the filmer was owned in TW.

    I will say this though, Vicious can take out a surrounding cata squad faster than any other faction and then put me to the test sooner than others. You guys work well together in TW. I dont think I make my self seem like a lesser player for acknowledging a well coordinated effort to take down a single barb. :D

    I saw rare TW vid's from cata barb perspective. Thought some might be interested. Enjoy.

    b:cute

    ps. was a short tw tho -.-'
    total kill count:
    - 3 enemy towers
    - 1 enemy crystal
    - x no. of enemy ppl at spawn point

    Rank 1, TT99/Nirvana sage cata-puller build kitteh with limited support, doing serious damage to QQme infrastructure while taking alot of heat.

    "Living" proof that you dont need to be r9+12 full josd to be effective if integrated in a organized faction effort to archive a certain goal.
    So much for Vicious being OP accepting only dirty r9+12josd3sparkIGdirtycsers... -___-

    TW is called a faction event for a reason. ijs

    ps. its the entire TW, no parts were left out. Only 3 catabarbs are pulling catas, with 6men attack squads support them. Defense and "specalops" squads were covering our base and sidelines.
    Like I said so many times b4, Vicious is not a faction of OP's, Its a faction of best team players on this server. Those people geared up together and kick *** together. Simple.

    link the gear ;)

    2 lazy to PWIcalc it b:surrender
    tbh, idk if you wanna go with that build since I'm using my BM's set on my barb.
    i'll list it to ya so if you have the will put it in the PWIcalc and play around with different combos:
    +10 tt99 wrists and boots with vit stones
    +11 ttNirvana legs and plate with josd
    +10 interval cape and forest wisdom headgear with vit stone
    +10 elemental cubeneck and elemental warsong belt
    two lunar rings
    pan gus axe
    shag up and down tome

    think thats it. if you just going for a economy barb gear, i would suggest full nirvana. not that expensive and relatively easy farmable. r9 is, ofc, better, with r8 recast wpn for more def lvl if you lucky... but yeah... if your like me and have 10 other things to do each day that leave you exhausted by the time you get home, then farming r9 and so on might be "a bit harder"... xD

    I dont farm...at all lol since i usually log at night after work...I do bhs and thats about it lol...I got the whole 99 set/elemental cube necklace and warsong belt/interval cape /1 lunar ring everything +5 a nirvy helmet +7 (lol that one I couldn't sell) 90 gold axes +5 (lulz) and a vit tome...pretty much an "Im poor" set xD

    I was going to go full nirvy for the barb and use the 99 LA wrist/boots which I already got in the same account for the interval on the BM to keep farming nirvys

    meh Im going to assume you have min dex/str and that your whole set is 4sockets http://pwcalc.com/95b9198707551ed3 self buffed. <= that's 9K more to go for me QQ

    now i don't think I can afford that ^ at least not that refine in my whole set...I may save enough to get vit stones for the leggings and chest and eventually the cape and helmet maybe. but that would take a while...anyways is way cheaper than R9.

    I think the helm might be +11/12 JoSD, but not 100% sure.

    thanks I didn't have the refines or adds of the rings...kinda expensive build or something that would take a while to get together at least for me...and I don't think is worth to start working on it with all the games I want to play that came out this year...but who knows

    this is more achievable http://pwcalc.com/290c7f2d0864562c and still would take a while to get it so meh

    Boogie link ur AA barbie gear ;D

    Got every item but the leggings. Have all the mats for the leggings though, just waiting to see if I make HA or AA leggings.

    Still working on refines.

    thought you would end having way more mag res. meh idk my ideal and affordable build using the helmet I already got would be pretty close http://pwcalc.com/441615fe09790248 and with 8K HP more (that's with perfect citrines only) would need to get 7 JOSD to match your def. lvl but that's not happening lulz other than that i rather mine better :3

    on another note? why so rich? lol

    Helm from archer
    Cape from archer
    Tome from archer
    Neck from archer
    Belt from sin
    Sky Cover from archer
    Boots from wiz

    Only parts I had to buy was LG ring with +acc engrave, NV leggings, NV chest, NV wrists and made my OHT gold axes first try + the amber gem that's in it. All together it costed less than a quarter of what my wizard costed. The Nirvana chest can be used on my wiz for more crit and NV wrists can be stashed if I play more characters. NV leggings can be stashed to APS char (if I choose HA) or wizard/other casters (if I choose AA).

    I know you don't come after me yerself 1v1 in TW, that would be a waste of your time, yer name is always accompanied by at least 7-12 other faction mates. Sometimes Ive counted 18+ names appearing in the damage log while waiting for the seal to come off so i can get back into the mix. That's more than one squad. no lies no fabrication. Try to take me down with less than 6 when I am on the crystal or tower and you better pack a lunch because its gonna take a while. :D

    I wouldn't be worth having in front of a catapult in TW if I couldn't handle a handful of people.

    Same would be for Man, Linc or any other big barb on the server. You don't one shot catabarbs in cata pulling mode. We are built to take that kind of damage. Any barb that wants to get into TW on this level and pull catas MUST be able to stand up for a while against those numbers or shouldn't bother carrying catascrolls.

    This shows how long its been since you've tw'd vs a faction with gear like Vicious'. There is no gear in this game that will provide the type of defense needed to take even 6 r9 +12s while in cata form (ofc gm gear :)). A properly built defense squad will have you burned of all chi, purged of all buffs, and maxed amped after your turtle and IG wears off and thats gonna bring 30k+ crits from gush with a +12 r9 wizard.
    "I'm the best ever. I'm the most brutal and vicious, and most ruthless champion there's ever been. There's no one can stop me. Lennox is a conqueror? No, I'm Alexander, he's no Alexander. I'm the best ever! There's never been anybody as ruthless! I'm Sonny Liston, I'm Jack Dempsey. There's no one like me. I'm from their cloth. There's no one that can match me. My style is impetuous, my defense is impregnable, and I'm just ferocious. I want your heart! I want to eat his children!" ~ Mike Tyson

    I am sure he did not mean to. Unforeseen and unplanned events or circumstances with Spell_Caster are common occurrence on forums and in game alike.


    Generally, wizards are kings of peak damage. A wizard failing to use a window of opportunity to one-shot groups of people should rather consider about playing a sin and stealth all day.
