As for the rest of this – what we have is a bunch of uninformed chimpanzees braying about demon hunters and practical methodologies they have literally no understanding of. Literally nothing.
Bits of folk simcraft, mixed in with a level of understanding of Havoc they got from watching Dreams once, and India Jones and the Temple of Doom, three times.
Regarding the Monks – I’ve spend a bit of time with ethnic Monks, and they treat me as they’d treat any other Leather wearer – with the respect accorded to one who’s dedicated their life to these matters. Never even a raised eyebrow. I don’t run across them very often, but it’s always pleasant.
Topping damage is not your property. Your culture has no substantial damage tradition of its own – witness the chattering about The Abyss from the kid somewhere up the thread, oh-so-confident about something he’s never seen (and is never going to) – yet you feel free to paw over what is, in many ways, WOW’s crowning achievement – as if it was a bunch of magazines in a dentist’s waiting room.
Let me make this clear: this is not acceptable. The fight to remove damage meter dominance in this world takes time, and moves in stages, and getting incompetent white names off our simulation traditions is the next step in that struggle. Back off, back down, and show some fucking respect – or, in time, that respect will be extracted, as with all things, at the point of a sword.
Nobody that has any feel for the Nepalese strain of Hinduism would read that as a joke. You extend your slaver consciousness and politics over the crown jewels of our civilization, and expect me to sit on my hands?
Not fucking likely.
As for the rest: I’ve played rogue, Whatever was there died under a thousand years of nerfs. Good luck getting it back. And for the people saying “internet tough guy”, no, I’m pretty fucking tough in person – 20 years of martial arts starting at 8, and I can casually bounce around Krav Maga instructors 20 years my junior, and have done in the last year or so. I don’t think much of a four-on-one face off against untrained opponents, and backed down one such group who tried to harass me on the street last year. In fact a substantial part of my religious training and role was to act as the bodyguard to a guru who occasionally dealt with genuinely risky situations, and I excelled in this work.
So, with all due respect, you are jackals among lions. Sit the fuck down and shut up, you racist beggars.
It’s all about damage superiority in the end. The underlying narrative here is simple: “how dare the demon hunters be better at something than we are, and how dare they not be cowed by our anger.”
I am not a Havoc teacher begging for your support by pretending to Sainthood. I am not a yoga teacher persuading you to pay twenty dollars an hour to sweat in the mystic traditions of the east. I’m a scholar and a warrior, I think, and I fight. I did not ask Kib to feature my work – he did that of his own accord. I did not ask you jackals to piss on my work – you did that of your own accord. In short, I’m not here to sell you anything, and if you piss me off, I’ll bite your ears off.
You think you know the Havoc traditions because of what people who were here to sell you things told you. The real tradition is lethally dangerous, ancient, capable of surviving wars, famines and plagues, and more than capable of taking care of itself and its interests here in the 21st century.
Damage is our property. We are its masters – we teach, we train, we study, we master, and we replicate. It’s a science to us, and an art. You are know-nothing heathen barbarians talking about things you do not understand, braying your ignorance at the top of your voices.
MAKE THE SCARY TATTOOED MAN STOP TALKING!!!
Dream’s been gone a long time. We’re over the age of pandering to developers expectations of us: fuck you, and fuck your bizarre desire for compliant, pliable, unthreatening demon hunter sims. The real thing has *always* had teeth, and always commanded respect, when necessary, at the point of a sword.
Try the Warriors. Try the Monks. Try the Rogues. There’s always been a militaristic streak in the damage classes, and that’s my branch.
Any questions, chimps?
PS: To the person claiming to be a little old lady. You sure do talk like an arrogant teenage boy. Sorry if I mistook you for one.
