I have read and... I have fought MAs, I have teamed with MAs and I have MPed MAs. You have a special attack with a FOUR HUNDRED AND FIFTY POINT DOT attached while my best dot is 215. You have excellent evades AND healing AND ACs and despite the crit nerf you can STILL walk around critting every 4th hit for 1000 or so points and you hit FAST. You, like every other child in this game just wants to be the most uber.
I am just as entitled to my opinion as you are, it is based in experience, and thanks for insinuating that I haven't read HUNDREDS and HUNDREDS of the THOUSANDS of whine posts from MAs on this issue.
The REAL reason you are killed so easily in PvP is that you havent had to do anything but run up and hit "q" special, special, special, special your entire career if you are like many MAs out there.
A well played MA is an extremely effective PvPer and there are many out there that scare the bejesus out of me.
FC and people on this board offer up MAs as the beginner class and guess what, perhaps your problems in PvP aren't related to what profession you play but rather to your skills in the game. How can you expect to get proficient in a game that practically hands itself over for you to level your character without obtaining any real skills?
I simply wanted to state my opinion on this thread, be done with it and go away. But you apparently don't think I have the right to do that... so I hope you enjoy this friendly little post
Rolling my Eyes while I am OFLMAO
Firs of all San. You are 100% completely wrong here. But I doubt you will admit that. I have seen your other posts.
MA's are SCREWED.
I pvp with a doc. BEFORE crit nerf, I used to consider MA's a worthy opponent, who could beat me 50/50. Now, I can whip an MA 20 lvls above me and have 50-75% of my nano pool left, and still be at full HP. 99% of the time.
THat dot SUCKS. Especially if you arent an "ma" attack user, and you actually use weapons.
The AC buff they get = HUGE HUGE NCU ( not worth the ncu you use vrs the ammount of AC you get , and the IP you spend on a dark blue 4 point skill )
The heals are nice, I cant argue there.
If your scared of MA's now... your gimped and suck. I would be willing to say that maybe um... 1 or 2 MA's on the planet can beat me. NOT because they are NOT skilled, or they didnt build the character correctly. But because MA's just plain ole suck now.
Crit every 4rth hit? BWHAHAHAHAHAHA
I tried to PvP with my MA. I was casting LMA by lvl 128, had reduce inertia,. all that good stuff. Pretty much as uber as I can be for my title cap. I TRIED to PvP people my own lvl. I had a 2 minute long figfht with another MA. the COMBINED total number of crits the entire fight was, if I remember correctly, 4.
And there isnt a problem there? Pfft
You may have read all those posts about MA's and teamed with them. but you sure didnt pay attention to them I guess.
