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). Last edited by KenshiD on Feb 26, 2013, 4:05:10 AM	Posted by KenshiD on Feb 26, 2013, 4:04:51 AM Quote this Post
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 Necropolis: 98	Posted by unsane 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 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 on Feb 26, 2013, 6:02:18 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 Pretty sure they are doing a race inside a race for fun. Also Chris has said information from anyone who does this with strict melee skills in the one week race would be extremely helpful to the Dev team in seeing the results/how and what they are able to do. “Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.” —Leo Buscaglia Contact support@grindinggear.com to report issues relating to the game or forum.

" 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.
