Improvment In Agent Defense

[Lupusceleri]

That's enough to resist DWL from most of bow MPs and to counter pretty much everything but GTH and RI, the only two devastating debuff nanos that have stupidly low recharge.

Reaaally now, last time I checked dear Klod, NR is random. Recharge doesn't even matter THAT much, as long as the debuff lands.

With big thanks to Shadowgod, we have a nice tool to approximate landing chances even:

Assuming 2.2k nanoskills - the requirements for SoZ, although I'm fairly certain you can get a lot more - versus 2.3k NR, that would net you a 53% landrate on 100% nanos.

Chuck in a 160% NR check from the oldschool NSD, and that gets you 28% landrate.

Either way why am I even arguing more with you, it's a moot point as long as we're dead when the first debuff lands.

not a bad suggestion tbh Kink...
tho i wouldnt wanna be setting up the agents quickbars hehe..

Being able to effectively swap between FP's and their associated hotbars would be what separates the good agents from the bad ones

Swapping between FP's ... erff. I can't help but think it's 1) super cool idea but 2) super OPed as well. I mean, how many agents out there aren't going to run around with RRFE, HOT, GSF, Behe, etc for buffs ... Challenge, rage, Mongo, then swap out to NT for easy NS2 ganks/roots?

Dunno, while it's alot of swapping and work, which probably justifies it, it just seems crazy to me to have access to all that goodness. I haven't kept up with agent tools, but I would support being able to mimic TWO lines at once instead of being able to swap. At least it would limit your access from everything and still allow some variety of builds for your profession. (seriously, the Enfo/NS combo would be sweet)

I was talking about bow MPs. You can kill those fairly easy today.

Two profs at once does sound cool... It would at least make it easily the most fun prof to play, but slightly less so than Mimic swapping.

My favorites:

Trader/Soldier
Enfo/Doctor
And I would definitely give Enfo/NT a try

So care to impart your wisdom about bow MP nanoskills then?

I think it's a safe assumption that any that matter are over 2k but under 2.5k.

This is going by an as-fair-as-I-can-make-it recollection of what MPs do and don't land against my NT.

That would be correct to some point, yes. 2300-2400 is the usual number, with a bit less in PM/SI department.
