That makes a bit more sense to me now. I...Oh, okay. That makes a bit more sense to me now. I think I did miss read a few of your words. I wasn't under the impression that you were doing 3 seperate posts and this was just the 1 post. Thanks for the explanation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6640395775212642852.post-2779721283018020912014-03-10T22:50:43.306-05:002014-03-10T22:50:43.306-05:00That's fair - every post is an experiment and ...That's fair - every post is an experiment and you don't know how an audience will react until you present it to them.<br /><br />That being said, I think you have some misconceptions about the post's goals. It's not objective - if it were, it'd be called a guide. This is how you use those epics according to my experience. The reason that likely reflects the community is because they have it right in most cases. Of course, as I mention in the second paragraph, I'll be covering all epics, and I intend to take some of the most popular ones that people use on Catbeard and Nausica and so on and explain why they're useless, and then take some of the least popular ones, and explain why they're so useful. I'm even going to give you a few specific numbers that you probably don't know yet on some of the effects, and going to place the importance of a few epics even over Relentless and its counterparts. <br /><br />This was originally going to be a 3,000-word post, but I felt like that was a little too heavy if I wasn't going to do an expanded article. But the way I divided it up had to make sense, so some of the less exciting epics had to go together here.<br /><br />The Rank 3 versions of Blade Storm, Double Tap, and Mojo Rising are included in this post, as well as their cards. They provide a bonus sneak attack (no epics triggered) up to three times per round upon defeating an enemy.<br /><br />The "attack, response, and movement epics" actually encompasses all rank 3 epics, but I needed to generalize to fit them into only three categories.Swordrollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03584492355650426899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6640395775212642852.post-60519970066926888092014-03-10T20:52:11.943-05:002014-03-10T20:52:11.943-05:00Mmmm....
I can't say I'm too impressed wi...Mmmm....<br /><br />I can't say I'm too impressed with this post. I felt like this too subjective rather than being objective (but you already made that clear in the first paragraph). What I would have prefered is if you could have gone through more sets like (Flanking, Cross-fire, and the unnamed one for Witchdoctors), (Cheap Shot, Parting Shot, and Coward's Bane), (Repel Borders, Readied Spell, Overwatch), (Hold the Line) etc.<br /><br />Also, I felt like your post reiterated what the majority of the Pirate101 player's feel. Relentless, Mojo Echo, and Burst Fire are almost always -scratch that- are always held over any other stat. Every thing else is pretty much just extra. I guess I would've liked to see a bit of a different viewpoint and a bit more positive light shown on the less used Epics. I also wish you could've have at least mentioned the Rank 3 versions of Blade Storm, Double Tap, and Mojo Rising, which assuming by Blade Storm, may all provide a stun. <br /><br />I would suggest maybe continuing with some of the other Epics and revealing some of there usefulness. But because you said this was a review on attack, response, and movement epics, this was going to be limited anyway. <br /><br />I don't think I would change too much about the current set up about the current set up on epics. I think they provide some kind of different effect to help add variety to the game.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
