Yes, it's broken.
The question: Why should we not use it?
Did Xiel not whore batbane+bardoon nonstop?

Once more, you can't both call someone else wrong for doing something, and justify doing it yourself because they did it first. Pick one or the other.
Because when you do it and say it's right, you are saying that when Xiel did it, he was right too. And when you say he was wrong, you are also saying you are wrong. You can have it either way, but not both. Either you're saying he was right (and feel free to go retract, and apologize for, every single time you called him down for doing it), or you are saying you are wrong for doing it now (and feel free to go dig up all your posts criticizing him and put your own name into them). It's wrong, or it isn't. Why is this simple arithmetic so hard to follow?

Though I suppose in Romero's case it would be a bit bad since it kind of is his job to try to address problems like this given he's an envoy.
As a note, this is exactly what we said to Xiel when he kept (ab)using Batbane, and his reasoning for continuing to use it was the same as Romero's now.
He kept using it for a week or so after that, but then did (mostly) stop.
(PS: I'm not disagreeing with you. It's just as bad for an envoy to be doing it now as it was for one then.)
Romero2009-02-18 20:14:36
Xiel doing it was wrong. Tramplesac is wrong. But its not a bug, its a balance issue thats being fixed. The whining can stop. Seriously. I have no trouble with nerfing trample since this was only used because it would make Gregori whine. He was going to die anyway without killing any of us.
Edit: To add to what Xenthos said. Yes, Xiel continued to use it and as for the sentiments all over the forums about this, I personally don't have trample so I can't use it. But I am all for changing it asap. Within the hour if we can get a plan.

With a similar case being made for Maze, if I remember correctly.

Why does trample have to be "fixed"? If something is powerful in way too many situation wouldn't the best solution be to....delete it?
Soon as I use crucify trample sacrifice in a 1-1, I can already hear the complaining.

My bad, Grego. You never die, to anything, I am sure you would have kept on trucking.
Next time, I won't bring Thoros or Esano. I will just bring me and two mantekarrs.

It's really simple logic.
I can't kill you by mathematically calculating a fool proof way of doing it 1-1. Therefore, you are too powerful and need to be nerfed, while I need to be buffed. Game balance = I can kill you. If I can't kill you, the skills are broken.
Then you throw in another person. All of these skills that are now "balanced" for 1-1 ez kills are ridiculous in a group. Now, Game Balance = I can survive anything anyone throws at me. If I die, that means their skills are OP, so now I get to bitch and whine until I can no longer get killed.
Too many people with big mouths think the game should revolve around what they want and nothing else.

The thing I find comical about this whole thread is that its the coders of Lusternia that are at fault for certain skills/classes being unbalanced. Of course it's frustrating when a thousand pound pet steam rolls you, brakes every limb in your body and you die. You are going to be extremely angry, but why not write these comments with the same amount of vehemence as you do against each other towards the people who are actually at fault?
I have seen more civil conversations on White Supremacy sites then I have here. Although its entertaining, I just felt the need to offer some advice on the matter. I would like to see game balance, but I really doubt this is the way it will ever be accomplished.
Rant away.

I can't figure out a way to kill Narsrim 1 on 1.Therefore, Narsrim is broken, and I need a buff.

Did you miss the thread I bumped from last year, where the same issue was limited only because it took someone dedicated to trampling to pull it off? People can hardly be blamed for being a little peeved that such was ignored and beast balance trample was put into play.

You seem to have some issues reading my posts. I'll reiterate, neither party is wrong. It's simply how it's coded and it's completely expected for it to be used while it exists.
I don't have it both ways. I've been quite clear on that. No one is in the wrong.
Was batbane+pfifth+bardoon kind of lame? Yes. Is trample sac just as lame. Pretty much.
"Lame" and "wrong" are not synonyms.

Pinleg actually stopping tumble which makes it make most instas insanely easy?
Maybe to this one. However, Pinleg still has some avenue of possible escape. Tramplesac, nope.
To a limited extent, pinleg is a knight skill so it can be done twice every 2-3s. Crucify for Desitrus' info does at least cost 7p. Which reminds me, can pfifth begin stopping tumble again yet?
Poison on beast allowing instant locks of varied types?
Invoke Green, ftw.
I said varied. Sleeplock > green. Yay for using 3p to cure off something doable every 10s?
Passive confusion with eq loss too still?
Spiritsingers are very manageable. It's just Xiel that may be an issue because he's an artied Demigod.
Wait for one to use hypnoticpattern to stack TONS of eq loss with lethargy and confusion. Being a demigod doesnt effect eq loss in any way.
Wrath auras stacking?
This is an issue that is already being addressed by the Envoys. This one is the only viable issue that I see.
Excellent, its being handled
Fact that Totems allows fear immunities but cities have no equiv when seren has most of the people who can fearaura?
The game isn't revolved around cities and communes having the same skills. Yes. We have good skills, but so do cities. And you have Rubeus, it's just not as great as Wolf bond. Which has been argued over and over, but everytime the argument comes out to: It's fine. You can blame Celenwilde all you want, but Celest is a city too.
A skill to break entire groups and only totems has a counter to it? If you make an obscenely stupid skill at least have the decency to make it fairly stupid to everyone.

For monks:
-Tahtetso have the whole chestpain insta, thats their main issue. Other than that the problem is largely double hemi spam and tons o mangles.
-Nekotai are one of the better guilds as far as I can see. Slitlock is awesome, access to tendon, and more crippling effects that arent usually used it seems. They just need some really good players to show how much the can shine (till they get nerfed anyway).
-Shofangis bullrage is just disgusting. Mangle spam is disgusting. Crunch is long term win. etc etc, they may also be one of the top.
-Ninjakari are waiting for their nerf stick, but they are alot more tame than disembowel/burstorgans made them. They have nice affs but dont have the same synergy as some of the others. Which is of course as always, debatable.
Clearly medicinebag is OP, nerf. /random tangent
I actually ignored the log really, it was mostly running or just thoros doing anything. You died to a small group, it cant keep happening with that exact method, but other stupid methods are still viable.
Other notes:
-Remove beast poison, this was just a bad idea as all it does is enables more locks, beasts shouldnt change combat so much
-Beast web still needed be REMOVED not just raised in cost
-Gogo locale defending Gregori!
Trueheal should strip all defs and continue to give shield. /obligatory antitrueheal
