Do you die...and love it?

[Rhiss]

I know this is going to sound wierd. People always bring up defensive passives, tanks and such. Regen, Defiance, and all of these things are awesome saftey nets. But is anyone enjoying dying as much as me. It's exhilerating!

What I mean is that I like other players had been focusing so much on defensive passives and creating a survival build. Something that can do it all. Something that is sturdy with a balanced DPS and such.

Well...thats changed for me now. I made a claws toon for fun. She is much fun. I would not complain if claws were buffed a bit, but this is a different playstyle for me...and it fits my rabid theme perfectly.

I find myself moving much more than with my point and click ranged people. I find myself jumping into suicidal situations where Im being knocked back, thrown around and plain out slashing like a mad woman on crack! I don't care about stars! They muck up my portrait anyways.

So launching yourself, in aggressor build, at the nearest enemies is so much fun, that defensive passives, while fun are not nearly as much fun. I find with Rellik she survives more...being darkness she has some cool things, but Mephitidae is a phsycho! I don't even mind dying cause it's nuts.

Am I the only one who finds this to be the case. That it's soooo...freaking wild to be nuts.

Yah hi there.


Chat does it all the time. Defensive or offensive... Will never back down from a fight no matter what the odds are.

I like offensive builds with little to no regard for defensive abilities, especially in the martial arts/blade(s)/claw sets. It's not that I like to die but I do definately like all of the close calls and the more active fighting style rather than point & click ranged combat.

So no, you're not alone... well, unless you try to PvP then you would definately be alone

For people wondering what I mean about Claws though. It's like..I know they suck, but it's like...who cares...Im a crazy.

I have a piccy of it. To show you.

So this is all I had.

You found the pretty and strong!

[Rhiss]

Strong and Pretty...Ayup!

Claws and suicidal tendancies make this game much more fun, than safely floating and blasting them at range. I feel the thrill of combat as the gore of Eradiates gets all over my Skunk-esque costume.

Seriously, people seem to focus so much on one or two styles of play, but seriously, passives have their place, but do not underestimate the funness of Offensive Passives!!!

I think it's a melee thing. With my ranged characters, I'm always surveying the situation, making a plan, lining up shots. But with my melee character I just jump in swinging.

Yeah. Nail on the head you hit. I mean...I usually play my darkness toon. She shields her way into range and blasts strategicly, but with the melee, Im in, pushing buttons and thrashing around like crazy. I know melee needs some love, but Im sure other melee types must be having a great time with their characters.
