Delta: closed minded people

okay?

not sure what you are getting at here.. any class can do delta. more importantly - the success of the squad falls mainly on the shoulders of the Barb and BM to keep aggro off the squishy damage dealers (and stay alive in the process). When those elements are in place, theres no reason that you can't do a delta with [insert class name here].

yeah i have heard that mystics are beast with that summon u used, especially with well timed hf and/or subsea, sadly i havent seen any mystic in my delta squad. also seekers are good solution if barb/bm sucks, ha + def lvl buff, even without bloodpaint i dont recive much damage if i have agro.

yes and people are close-minded. i have done wave 2 with sin, veno, barb, bm, 2 clerics, yet u see in WC that w2 NEEDS barb, bm and aoe dd-s. or fc90/95+ NEEDS barb and bm. like there is only 1 squad formation to do stuff.
but have to say atleast seekers are semi-adopted now, can see some WC-s looking BM or barb or seeker. with mystic its bit different i guess, havent seen any WC looking cleric or mystic:). i once even sayd thats lets try with mystic healing us, but idea turned down quickly

I usually dont like to post but this time... its a delta topic omg!

I am a venomancer myself that (and I say this with a lot of pride actually) have done 22 full deltas runs. I have a lot of people that knows me only from being a re_tard venomancer that never gets tired of deltas.b:chuckle

In full deltas runs, its never never the players classes that really matters, its instead the entire squad ability to crown control. Yes, a venomancer can dig beans while pet is killing at the same time, true, but that doesn't make venomancers not something that can be exchanged for other classes. a good seeker (and the name of ShadeWarden comes rigth away flashing on my head) can do exactly the same work I do in delta runs even better than me. A good psychic can also substitute a venomancer doing his job.

In a time when almost where there is rank8 flying around, genies, anti stun pots that can be made easily, deltas runs have became something easy to do (and fun like hell for re_tards like me). It is no longer needed a big full squad of awesome people to do full deltas. Even a rainbow squad to get extra beans isn't really needed if a squad knows what's happening.

I have seen barbs uncharmed and level 90-94 doing full deltas just all right, I have seen mazti cleric level 93 doing deltas also, I myself did full runs at level as low as 93, I did full deltas even with 2 bms on the squad.

The thing you see there, with a venomancer saying that psychics cannot do deltas, is just rubbish, probably from people that played other versions of the game and are too close minded about it. If people cannot adapt to the new reality, then sooner or later they will have problems in game.

Having levelled from 90-98ish primarily on delta and completed rough estimate 50-100 full runs I do consider myself an experienced rb barb.

I can say that this squad setup with a seeker and a mystic as the main dds is indeed very good.
With the gear ppl have these days I see mainly 3 reasons ppl fail:
dc
Barb fail pulling
Aggro control; wizard/archer 1k.

With this setup the 3d reason will not happen. Seeker HA + bp = can handle aggro. Not sure about mystic but the pet get the aggro or w/e.
Normally when I run a delta I have to be careful with my aggro skills and time them right to keep it of dds. This delta I didnt see a hp drop, not once. + we had no problem taking down waves fast.
