You don't use many templates do you? Counter with something else. If necro mage doesn't work; try a weaving mage. Try putting ninjitsu on your mage (dismounters = useless). Put taming on your template. Put bushido/parry on your template. Make a tactics mage with any weapon skill (Between well placed mortals/disarms/bleeds/AI, you can kill people easily enough. You aren't a dexxer you dont "chain" specs). Use a wrestle and/or parry mage. All very effective templates if you are a medicore or higher mage. All of those templates you mentioned can deal with one of the "flavor of the month" templates you said. Work accordingly.
Of course you would say something that has 0 revelance and not true at all. EVERY template you named; I can/have/and will kill 1v1 on my mages. Maybe I should reiterate that since you claim I "live and run away".
And I didn't say you couldn't. I mean imo ping has everything to do with dueling.
You died 4 times to me out of 5 to a mage with 80+ more ping. Who is mediocre?My point was, since I'm on the east coast I play east coast shards. That way, I don't have to use ping as an excuse for why I suck. It's called common sense. Have fun being a mediocre mage once again.
Maybe I should remind you of the last time we fought. You ran, called your guildies, they ganked. I asked you for a 1vs1...you ran, called your guildies, they ganked. I would hardly call yourself skilled if you hide behind your guild when called out.
Not everyone plays with faction mounts, not everyone plays factions on every char. You say his offensive output is low? lol...guess you don't fight very many good dread tamers when you and they are on foot. The damage output of a straight mage vs. tamer and pet (their 800 hp vs. your 130) is negligible.
One minute you say people use ping as an excuse, the next you say you won't even play those shards because you don't have the 7 ping there. Seems to me you are just another wussy, afraid to fight in places where you don't have the advantage. Out of all people, you rely on your ping more than most...while calling people out on theirs...classy dude...classy.
I already stated I play with two different pings...7 at one location 35ish at the other. The difference does not matter to me, I play the same way regardless. People play shards they ping poorly to because they like having an excuse for why they can't win. Like I already said, they have different shards for a reason, it's not my fault you don't understand that.
Again, as I stated before...you are a bad mage if you need to:
On mystic being OP...I see only a one issue
Where did I mention anywhere about nerfing skills? Think mcfly think!Please nerf paper. Scissors are okay though.

Out of curiosity...would you 1vs1 my cats char? They are in factions. Perhaps you prefer my LA factioner, or maybe my factioner on Pacific? Maybe you want to fight my Atl factioner? That is four shards...2 of which I play solo without the backing of 10+ meatheads.
Spoken like the hypocrite you are. I will field whoever on whatever shard...even europa...while on the flipside you hug the shard you are closest to while claiming to be the best duelist around. Even your worst ping is less than half of my best ping on atl.I already stated I play with two different pings...7 at one location 35ish at the other.

You lost 4 out of 5 times...and still talked poop. At some point (most) people decide to say the hell with civility, this guy is a doosh bag.
You are a bad mage if you need to:
This just goes to show how absolutely clueless you are. Nobody scripts in PvP, and if they do it only hurts them.
You play some joke of a mage template with a dread mare and mare and spam flamestrike or some other high damage spell. You have no right to comment on what should and shouldn't be nerfed. Your opinion is void.
You are a bad mage if you need to:
blah blah blah
Sorry restroom, you fit all of the above.
And I know you are wrong...
Sometimes I use a dread warhorse, most of the time not. And I don't cast flame strike all that often actually. And even if I did, my opinion would be no less "void" than yours is. I have hundreds of hours of pvp experience, spanning more than three years.
Which is one of the points that was floating around in my head when I posted the above. I don't consider a tamer to be a walking gank, however the mechanics of the way they fight are similar to a gank, and I think that tamers with mysticism casting spell plague do present balance issues (and it applies to any pet, not just dread warhorses). But it's pretty hard to balance mysticism in that context, without nerfing either tamers or mystics in other contexts where there are no balance issues.
I have personally fought you, and I can honestly say you are one of the worst mages ever. Hundreds of hours of PvP experience has obviously done nothing to make you any better. I highly doubt Einstein would have taken an argument against relativity seriously from a 5th grade science student. Being as you are nowhere near the understanding of PvP as some are, yes your opinion is void.
Based on the typical posts I read from you, you know very little if anything about PvP (clearly being as you think scripts can actually determine the outcome of a fight). I don't see how ego has anything to do with what I've said, but my "prejudice" is based on the fact that people exploit poorly developed game mechanics in order to make themselves better, and then pretend as if they don't know exactly what they are doing. For example, restroom claiming to be such an amazing mage, and yet he hardly even casts mage spells when you fight him. And now, he is defending mysticism because he doesn't want to be thrown back into the decent-at-best mage group he belongs in.
I've been a damned good tamer, and a damned good pvp tamer, for years, and until recently, a horrible mage. I'm certainly not the best mage out there, but I actually do know something about playing one now - and yes, I'm sure I still don't follow your precious pvp "rules", which incidentally is a source of pride for me personally. My guess is you haven't fought me recently...
Ego and prejudice have everything to do with just about every post I've ever read from you. So if someone kicks your ass, it's because they are exploiting "poorly developed game mechanics"? I'm sure you are pretty quick to heap scorn on the heads of those who scream "Haxx!" every time they lose, but clearly don't see that you are doing exactly the same thing.
You think just because the game changes around you that your template shouldnt need changing. Bottom Line is YOU need to change not the skill/spell. Any true pvper knows you cant ride the same template forever, SO ADAPT! Now if youd spend as much time adapting your pvp style as you do whining after dieing then maybe you wouldnt be a low tier pvper. Now bring on your "Your a nub gimplate" or "you must be new to pvp" and other vague insults. its all quite humorous how the weak pvpers always have to complain about the last template that killed them. 
To be fair, no one has explained to LLewelyn why you don't use EC to play a mage and why you don't use auto targeting. OK everyone else figured it out long ago, but i don't think he likes the CC graphics.
LOL...QFT
Come to Catskills, Llewen Faerlyght, I'm often on in the late afternoons, judge for yourselves. I'm sure you won't admit to being wrong, or to your opinion being changed, but you just might be in for a good fight. And I would expect nothing less than this kind of post from you two, my troll fan club...
LLewen, all you do is reply with really long factually wrong posts and because your posts are really long that makes you less of a troll? you will have the last word even though most of it is spent saying nothing.Come to Catskills, Llewen Faerlyght, I'm often on in the late afternoons, judge for yourselves.

1) field mage...I can use a -1 SC wep at the cost of EP and dci...again, key word is field mage...You are a bad mage if you need to:
1) Use a hit fireball bokuto
2) Cast mystic spells more than mage spells
3) Rely on cure pots for every cure
4) Chug agility pots to swing a bokuto faster to set off spell plague damage
5) Fail to rez kill other mages that started with 12 hp
Sorry restroom, you fit all of the above.
I suppose I could add one more thing. You raise an interesting point. All of my posts and input are solely in the context of field fighting. Duelling doesn't interest me, in part due to all the arbitrary rules and prejudices involved.
Oh no...PLEASE keep posting... we lub you man!- What I mean when I use the word "troll": Someone whose sole purpose in posting is to annoy, intimidate, embarrass or bully the object of their post.
- What you mean when you when you use the word "troll": Someone who disagrees with me.
Unless you have something to post that doesn't fall under my definition of trolling, I'm pretty much done with this thread. Have fun gentlemen...
rolleyes:
can i just point out this guy plays a tamer
Heheheh
Honestly, I have little to no ego in game. When I win or lose, the first thing out of my mouth is *good fight*...not *well you live in your moms basement.* How the conversations degrade from there is usually in relation to the amount of poop talk spewed by the other party.After reading this thread it is obvious that the only people continuously posting are indeed only because they think they have the biggest...
uhh...
Talent.
Anyhow, its only going in circles at this point, take it from an outside source. I'm not a mod, so it's not my call, but this thread has, imo, run its course. Also, I'll quickly add that if I had a quarter for every time Llewen called someone a 'troll' for merely disagreeing with him I'd be a rich woman. I swear to god he does it in every thread that seemingly has him involved. It's bizarre.
1. It's called heal stone, EP means nothing.
1) I don't use them, they heal for more than a potion does without EP.
Still waiting for you to do anything other than trying to troll my posts. How about offering rebuttal in your own thread...rather than trash talking someone who is obviously a better fielder than yourself (on the same mystic temp).By the way, the purpose of me posting this thread was to draw attention to the obvious problems with mysticism in PvP. After reading that something was finally going to be done about it, I really had nothing more to discuss (but couldn't resist responding to your posts riddled with lies and exaggeration). You can say what you want from here on out, I won't be posting in this thread anymore. See you in the guard zone you badass you.
And that simply isn't true. There are a few people that consistently post to threads I post in that are trolls. They've proved it over and over again, and I've let them know many times that I know what they are doing. I never, absolutely never, call someone a troll for disagreeing with me.
Oh, and I can vouch for this. I didn't beat Restroom in our one fight so I don't know if he is a good loser in game, but I do know he is a good winner. He was fun to fight, and fun to talk with after the fight. There was no bs or epeen waving. He's a good pvp'r and a rarity in that he also acts like a decent human being while doing it.
