gfunk your about to make me roll a toon on ghallanda just so i can run with you

I told you last week that Gfunk came to Khyber. You don't listen very well.

How about bracers of the glacer if it drops for a melee and then that melee loots it for the fire shield effect? Is that greed before need?

It kills me when people expect to have a chance at something they didn't pull, no matter what reason, however logical or illogical, they give.

If you didn't pull it, don't expect to get a shot at it. That's why Turbine implemented the 20 system.

I would say yes, that's greed before need...

Hmm. I think I have actually done that to gfunk once.

My barbarian saw the bracers and took them for himself. In my defense, that was the only item I wanted from the raid and I did pull it myself It makes quite a difference for a pure barbarian.

I saw this thread title and thought "that sounds like me"

Seriously though, the goggles are great for any melee, they're only marginally more useful for a rogue

wait

this all sounds scarily familiar

OMG: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tolLFHW1h4

There was a poll on the european forums about this you might find interesting:

http://community.codemasters.com/for...d.php?t=353166

So, if most people in "socialist-minded europe*" think the goggles are up for grabs for any melee, I can gaurantee you most americans think so too.

Im sorry, I guess you never use a wisdom item to gain +3 to saves? And the tharnes's set help a rogue out more than any other class.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....officially you have just pwn'd yourself and proved everyone right and you wrong.

Nice job!

[Thrudh]

And the tharnes's set help a rogue out more than any other class.

Agreed... but other classes get a lot of use out of goggles as well...

If the goggles are a 10 on the usefulness scale for a rogue, they're still a 8 for other melee classes...

No one should be faulted for taking a raid item worth an 8...

[gfunk]

Yeah Leafy! Stop making us die!

Preach on Brother Kodiak!

It's not me, its your paper bag AC. I think you sucked up 4 of my heal scrolls last time you tanked in vod, thats like 300 plat you owe me!

How often does it proc? You gave up something to use the bracer slot... What's wrong with a Cloak of Ice?

I'd say a barbarian taking them is greed before need (BUT if you pulled them yourself, I'm cool with it... If you rolled on them against a caster, I would be upset and mark you on my "friends" list)

Well, the next time I loot the Bracers of the Glacier, I'll let you sniff them before I loot. We can call that even.

yeah, you and who else.. My sorc lost out on the bracers on 3 rolls to melees before he finally got them. But I'm happy, it means maybe you'll survive part 4 shroud for once without me putting all my mana into reconstruct.

This happened very recently in a vod run we did. We believe your loot is your loot, but the circumstances made this even harder to take. We picked up a guildless drow sorc who was nice enough to respec a spell for reconstruct. He did an awesome job repairing the main tank (10 fighter 6 ranger wf) with some help from the rest of us. There was another sorc who also helped make it possible. It was on elite so that meant some more resources were consumed.

nah, its all cool. He has a non-evasion WF barb, and those things go off all the time when you get hit that much. Helps builds like his quite alot in shroud / SoS and others. And its tough to use the cloak of ice when you are madstoned.

The cloak of ice requires you to activate it by clicking. This causes obvious problems for a pure barbarian, and especially one with madstone boots.

What it does for me is help to put me on a level field with an evasion build against the pit fiend or in any quest with a lot of fire damage.

[Demoyn]

Only on a stalemate greensteel item (it was free with my positive and negative affects). Otherwise no, an entire item slot is just more important than a +3 will save.

And the tharnes's set help a rogue out more than any other class.

I can think of no more effective way to say it than... NO, YOU'RE COMPLETELY WRONG.
