If this was after the IoP buff, then he was technically correct. IoP + Shatter can do a large amount of damage (IoP by itself exceeds the degen cap). However, it would be "smarter" of him to just cover IoP with another hex and then reapply it. It doesn't heal if you reapply it.

(Little tip: IoP + Phantom Pain + Glimmering Mark can typically kill in 1 spike....however you have to actually be good at the game to do it right. It's really funny to kill turtles in FA/JQ while a monk is trying to prot it. )

I think it was after the update. Don't get me wrong, I do like Illusion of Pain (used it as my icon in fact). But why would you use that if you're just going to remove it? It has to be the worst hex you could use in combination with Shatter Delusions.

He could have used Web of Disruption for instance. That's got some nice synergy with Shatter Delusions as it casts quickly.

Never tried that combo Karate, but I imagine you're right. Probably wouldn't kill a non-squishy though I'm guessing.

Doesn't matter if they're non-squishy or not. IoP's damage is armor ignoring and GM typically hits for at least 19dps at 10 Air (unless they're a Ranger and then it's typically just 10-15ish). So, that's around 45-49 damage/second (-10 pips, 10dps from IoP, 15-19dps from GM).

Phantom Pain is just for the deep would and a cover hex. But, like I said, their armor doesn't matter. As long as they have 600hp or less, you should be able to kill them in 1 spike (if they heal, then you just reapply IoP and cover it again. It's pretty loltastic).

the word Blacklist. I find it rather funny, becouse the ppl that actually think it's smart to make a so called "blacklist with noobs" are ALWAYS the noobs in other ppls blacklists.

Also a stupid thing: runners and runnees who think they can report people for running scams

ProTip to them: ArenaNet doesn't support your actions and if you get scammed, whether you're the runner or the person being ran, ArenaNet isn't going to take action - it's your fault for doing something they don't want you doing.

Ever heard of Frag Spikes? Go be bad somewhere else.

(DPS kills are usually still considered "spikes". IoP and GM do dps. Gtfo.)

Tried your concept, Karate Jesus. Worked quite well. If you managed to put all three on them, unless they had decent self-heal or some sort of hex-removal, they were dead in the water (most ran away and died lonely and in despair).

Made a few warriors angry though, but with Storm Djinn's Haste and Whirlwind, they were easily taken care of.

Actually, one of my favorite things to do is go into ra/ab/fa/jq or something, and say something to the effect of 'omg why is my ursan not working' or 'why can't I use consets??'. It's loltastic. It would be funnier if I actually carried ursan into pvp, but I'm not that mean.

Nvm you're right. It heals if removed prematurely. That means the description is quite misleading. It should be "when this hex ends.. bla bla" not "after 10 seconds".

For your stupid failure of an attempt to humiliate a completely logical post, I'll do the honors and save a spot for you.

Seriously, try to not be an arsehole against someone who isn't one.

If you check either wiki you will see that healing occurs when the hex ends, not after 10 seconds, meaning hex removal early will actually heal the target.

This one's quite cute. I was in an argument with this guy and he said this:
"I'm stanist, and I will put a curse on you"
"satanist*"
What a lame, empty, pathetic attempt to scare someone over the internet.

Ok a mate of mine came over to me a few days ago actually asking why people didn't wanna be his GF's. I of course felt sorry for him and asked what the problem was. When he said he was LFGF'ing in Ascalon City and Lion's Arch I burst out laughing

Just wanted to get this out before I forget-

In LA, some guy sorta made a fool of himself (iirc)-

Him: where do i go to get to factions?
Us (some random group of people and me): By the docks - Jiaju Tai
Us: only if you have Factions installed on your account
Him: how do i install it on account?
Us: enter a new cd key in
Him: where can i get factions?
*pause* *eye twitches*
Us: store
Us: Store
Me: local bootleg market
Him: thats ret(u)rded. they should give it to you when you finish game.
*eye goes in spasms* /facepalm

So everyone started flaming him in public chat. I wish I'd've gotten a screenshot of this.

I think this goes to show that some people have very little common sense.

I was off to do the ElusivE Golemancer as per z-mission today.

I joined a group with my AWESOME PARAGON OF AWESOME. I loaded up a quick Imbagon-type build, as people DEMAND IMBAGON FROM ALL PARAGON IN EXISTENCE, and since it was Hardmode I wanted to bring my a-game.

They looked at the team, noted there was 1 monk. I pointed out that it was HARD MODE and 2 monks is recommended for a group of 8.

The Leader said "Imbagon paragon is good enough for a monk". I said "What the hell are you on?" Hello kick from party :O

Wow, what an idiot

Once, in LA, some guy kept telling everyone to get off a hill unless they wanted to make a sale, and started threatening to hack whoever didn't... what a loser.

Perhaps not the stupidest things, but two of the stupidest recent things I came across. I found them very entertaining. (:

The first was forming a group for Tahnnakai Temple with my monk (emphasis on Mo/Me). I hopped into this group with this guy and I think another person, as well as this poor Rit. He was asking everyone if they had the Rit elite 'Consume Soul' (I believe it's called) because that would make the mission easier - which I don't dispute.

Guy: Roren (my monk) u have hero with consume soul?
Me: Uh, nope.
-The Rit and another dude join-
Guy: u have heroes with consume soul?
Rit: No
Dude: No
Guy: Oh, 'Rit', ur a Rit lol. I didn't realize. do u have consume soul?
Rit: no? what does it do?
Guy: You steal Health from target foe. If that foe was a summoned creature, you steal all of that foe's life.
Rit: I'm sorry english isn't my first language, i'm having a hard time understanding
Me: -google a template with the skill so he can see the image of it and such-
Me: -ctrl z template- Here's a build with consume soul if that helps you out a bit?
Rit: Oh thanks
Guy: Ahhhahahahahaha! Brilliant! That will work nicely!!!
Guy: Hahahahaha!
Guy: Hahahahaha Roren are you using that build?
-brief pause while I asses my monk and mesmer skills and nope. no Rit spells there-
I felt bad when I had to remind him of that fact. And I guess this is an easy mistake to make, it just entertained me.

I think that's 'nuff said? (:

Number 2.

We were not that far into Aborstone. We had a Necro with us who was raising minions like no one's business, and was keeping them alive with Blood of the Master (I think). So every few seconds he'd lose a chunk of life and we'd heal him - no worries.
The trouble was when we were waiting for Danika (Monk prime, remember ) to catch up and open the door, this Necro spamming Blood of the Master to keep his minions alive.

Danika catches up and I guess her main priority before anything is healing, so she sees this Necro lose some health and heals him. She gets to the door and starts doing her thing but: Ooop! Necro lost some health again.

She drops what she's doing and rushes over to cure the Necro and then goes back to the door. Necro loses some health, she runs back to him and heals, then back to the door, and so on and so on. This happens quite a few times, and I wish I had kept count.

Getting a bit agitated I go: Please, let her open the door...

She manages to open the door finally, and guess that the Necro finally got what was going on. But no.

Necro: LOL!! Bout time Danika!!!

lol, well I thought that too, untill I ran a group of ppl thru Bogroots. At the end 1 guy kept running in the group so he didn't have to pay. and he went afk, so we all reported him. Me and my mate waited for like 30 mins. and then the guy came back. but just before he could open de chest. he just logged out. and I've never seen him on back again. so yes I think reporting has a use.
