That's my tanjobi (march 3rd) good time to do some man mode action. Though I did manmode action in all the 1week races (Duelist Cleave without IR, I guess more manmode is not possible).

If you die can you use what you've stashed for the new character? Sorry if it's been answered or is obvious. Character archive: view-thread/963707 HC: 96 RIP SC: 95 97 96 100 95 96 97 98 95 97 P2: TBD 3.26: TBD	Posted by unsane#5479 on Feb 26, 2013, 5:05:35 AM Quote this Post
in my opinion its kind of disrespectful to developers to run a 1 week race like this right in the time they run theirs... how about you start yours tomorrow. the benefits YOU posted in your OP are: devs get feedback on melee earlier, you are not "stealing" racers from them 8/8 Challenges Anarchy/Onslaught 8/8 Challenges Domination/Nemesis 8/8 Challenges Ambush/Invasion IGN: @Mob_Barley	Posted by Sadat#3206 on Feb 26, 2013, 6:00:19 AM Quote this Post
How would you police people to abide by those rules since this is not a official race?	Posted by Gekko101#0863 on Feb 26, 2013, 6:02:18 AM Quote this Post

" PyrosEien wrote: On the Melee vs Pseudo Ranged aspect, while I don't complete disagree, you also have to remember that AoE wise, the only melee AoE that is actually melee range is Infernal Blow. Cleave, Whirling Blades, Ground Slam, Sweep and Lightning Strike are all a decent bit larger than melee attack range with Lightning Strike hitting the furthest and Sweep/Cleave the shortest. But if you've played Cleave or Sweep before, you know you can hit mobs way before they can hit you using these, so they're not really "melee" either. Now you can single target everything or only use infernal blow, which is a terrible aoe, but unless you ban every other aoe you're going to have to deal with the fact melees tend to do pseudo ranged attacks quite a bit. There is nothing terrible about the aoe of Infernal blow if you have stacks of elemental and fire damage. In fact it's pretty much the same thing as Molten shell, minus the benefit from Iron Will I guess. The difference is that instead of leaping in to take a hit or two, you leap in to do a hit or two yourself. But the result is the same and it's still magical corpse explosion damage. So not really a melee skill by that reasoning. And it's not really any different from Detonate Dead it its mechanics. But somehow this one is fine, while those other two aren't allowed. I wonder why... I heard Kripp is planning to roll with Infernal blow? Hypocrisy is strong in this thread.
