The problem with allowing Turn 2 Rage strat

[Velev]

Why are people still beating a dead horse lol

My thoughts exactly!

I guess ignorance is bliss after all¬!

Because they want to be right, no matter the cost.
That said, there isn't any horse left to beat.

lol this will never be settled, because the people who don't like dealing with the rot love this method, and the people who want to play the game as intended hate it.

So long as the people who use this method, they will just continue having trouble later on.. would love to see some of them do turn 5 lol, but when they get into a group who can easily handle the rot and they keep killing the group because of it, they will learn or start getting excluded

Understand that the reason I and alot of others use this method is not that we can not do the rot, but that we do not trust pick up members to be able to do rot. Everything to increase the win posibility and efficiency.

Pick up groups I can understand, its frustrating, especially if you have new people or no voice communication to boot. But with FCs, including my FC, they use it because its a convenient way of not having the headache of lag issues or RNG if there is such a thing in this game lol. I have no issue with that. The issue here lies with the players who have NEVER touched the mechanics because of the convenience of not having to and coming to this thread and trying to look down on those who have like they've accomplished something.

It was intended for players to keep feeding Caduceus after the split but players got to a DPS level (and initially used Hallowed Ground) to "bypass the mechanic".

So, if you are calling enrage strat wrong and do Caduceus without feeding after the split. You are contradicting yourself.

Did you seriously just try this? Bypassing mechanics due to skipping phases because you have good DPS and sitting around for 8-9 minutes to bypass mechanics (not to mention not just the mechanic phase, but the entirety of the mechanics themselves) are two completely different things. Very poor comparison.

Implying those that do enraged have (or don't) do it the other way. We do it both ways in our static. Both ways are ridiculously easy. Stop pretending like killing ADS before zero clicks is in any way, shape, or form hard.

It obviously is hard for you since you resort to Enrage Method when your amazing static can't manage the mechanical way. Also, you may find it easy, but for those who are new to it, they cheat themselves, which is the entire argument. Nobody said ADS for those who have farmed it is hard or not. Stop getting off topic.

It is amazing this thread is still going. Why are people still disputing this one boss' rage mode mechanic? Why even continue posting when turns 1-5 are going to get nerfed anyway after 2.2? There is no pride gained from playing hot potato over racing who gets killed first a la rage mode. Let this thread die already, it has suffered enough.

I've seen these threads come and go. Dozens of em.

Really who cares?!

Do you care that the guy in your party paid for his Titan kill?

Or that other guy in your party paid for his Dual Hakken?

Well, in 2.2 you are gonna be able to DF T2! Are you going to bring your crusade to them?! Will you in your downtime...instead of posting whiny threads on here...enter DF T2 and yell at everyone for using enrage strat? Actually...I'm pretty sure you will. LOL

Look, I've downed T2 both ways...enrage is slower. Obviously. Basically you are wasting time to get any easy kill.

But when they nerf T1-5, which they are....are you still gonna cry about it?

That has already started.
Currently there are already more threads about that than there are threads about this.

It's like they expect SE to make Coil as easy as WP or something.
