Is a change coming to Cast on Death? Would like to know before I start sinking gcps into one.

Yes, a Cast on Death change is highly likely.

I like the cut of your jib son.

To anyone else, you think you can't play with CoD and/or snapshotting, the problem is the player, or perhaps your build isn't what you think it is.

I am strolling along just fine and freakin' dandy now at lvl 85, pure summoner, without any of this BS.

EDIT*

Question though if I may Mark;

What about players simply exploiting normal mechanics then?

I.e. Go to normal, suicide on mobs to raise the zombies with the same power as current exploit?
Don't underestimate this stuff, this is exactly what will happen.

most builds can gear up their DPS, not summoners. after summoners get their unique mace, the grasp, they are literally End-game, their DPS is capped then.

the first 100 in hardcore brought death to sporkers.

now the first 100 in nem, we will see.

Ah, so you devs do read these forums. There's some other threads that could use some dev replies.

but you know that people go to normal, kill some trash and then summon zombies using CoD (with Grasp first, then with Chabber)? (how it works - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOm1eAaV2GQ)

so youll fix just half of the problem if you remove the 'remote mine' trick. there are TWO CoD tricks to fix..

damn it, you was fast editing it.

you called it "obvious bug". it's kinda funny then, how it takes few weeks to fix such broken thing, that pretty much creates unfair advantage in the ladder towards ppl who use it.

isn't use of bugs considered as exploiting ?

You make a very good point. I suppose you would be able to do it at high level maps for spectres too in Domination/Standard when you level up, and after that simply never ever logout.

"unfair advantage"


How is this in any way "unfair" to anyone?

> You are also able to make it.


Go moan somewhere else.
