Teras Isle, Crossroads]
A few ramshackle structures have been thrown up here, most little more than leather tents pitched by fishermen to protect their skiffs and nets during the winter. The Hog's Pen Tavern with its walls of stacked tanik logs is the sturdiest structure in sight. At the rear of the tavern, there is a pile of refuse and a trough that overflows with left-over meals and rain water. The sounds of a bustling town echo down the best-kept of the various roads and paths that meet here.

With 3 back to back warcries from the same creature, he put me into RT for 12, then 17 then 20 seconds and it all stacked. Warcries needs to have diminishing returns. That's pretty fucking ridiculous to have to stand there for nearly 50 seconds while another creature dispels you and the third is attacking you with impunity. If that happened inside a warcamp (often it does) its auto death for me, pretty damn irritating considering that's the only way I can die in there besides a void. That's some of the most irritating and ridiculous shit I've seen in gemstone in 16 yrs.

The only bit that ever annoyed me about Grimswarm warcry was how paladins mysteriously have it.

Why aren't you e-waving them?

Also, if you want me to make you a load of Haste imbeds, just provide the items and let me know man. Every little bit of RT protection helps.

RT stacking is the worst part of GS...

Many situations have similar results, don't see what the big deal is. It simply requires appropriate tactics.

I just had to lol @ tactics. You can script your way to to 100 with damn near no deaths outside of crazy insta-kills and maneuvers completely out of your control.

I guess it's one of those "lol" things I don't understand. But then I will never understand the point of scripting either.

If you're gonna take away warcry stacking, then you take away a favorite warrior trick for dealing with Candor. Just letting you know...

Do people even bother anymore? I used to think you were just some alt that liked to have fun with the Landing, but Christ. After seeing you post, I'm starting to think (know) you're as annoying as the character.
