Is that you in your avatar?

Are you aware that having a chinstrap beard makes you an automatic douche?

Also, don't make a thread to tell people you might include information in the thread at a later date. That also means you're an automatic douche.

the GM wahmbulance? so you can just waltz in and bind/attack me during a duel with a DIFFERENT person and expect me not to get annoyed by that?

Having a 700 AS lance thrust at me is one of those things I hope to avoid during my GS career.

On subject: do you find focused MStrike to be particularly useful, or is it more just for fun? I ask because at that level, your proficiency with hide/ambush is such that you can one-shot basically whatever yout hunt, unless I'm mistaken. That log makes it seem that way.

That was a 800 AS lance hitting him. Not him using it.

[audioserf]

Oh I know, I saw the other thread too! I can definitely see the value of a lance focused m-strike. But for an OHE/shield ambushing rogue I don't see if the 30 ranks worth of TPs are worth it.

It's very good against uncrittable things like non-corp undead and elementals. It's much better with TWC though, since you get two swings per strike. Otherwise I just ambush.

[Ker_Thwap]

the GM wahmbulance? so you can just waltz in and bind/attack me during a duel with a DIFFERENT person and expect me not to get annoyed by that?

Just a wild guess here, but you didn't socialize much when you were a kid?

If you're going to mouth off to people and get yourself attacked, you don't get choose the time and place they beat your ass.

[audioserf]

That's a good point, I hadn't thought of that - mainly because in my GS3 ambusher days I steadfastly refused to hunt uncrittable things and undead (I still don't hunt undead, they suck).

[Geshron]

This.

[IorakeWarhammer]

how it's useful:

1. group hunting

2. cman coup preparation (generates more wounds/HP loss with less RT incurred)

3. ESPECIALLY USEFUL fighting very tough creatures.
(example: When I hunt greater krynch, they have tough skin and are above my level. When I ambush the leg, I immediately use a focused mstrike after. The reason is, just hitting the leg will make them stand up within 7-8 seconds unless it is totally severed most of the time. If I use an mstrike, it's injured enough to stay down while I attempt to remove it's head.)

[IorakeWarhammer]

i forgot four..

4. looks cool

5. versatility

6. DS bonus??

7. a good way to stun multiple creatures (example, on a bandit task, if 2-3 bandits pop out, I do cman surge and then an mstrike, and it always stuns them because their skin is soft, giving me the opportunity to remove their heads. This way, I don't have to hide and leg them individually, I just do a little stun and then finish them off by beheading)
