But more specifically, what do you whink of when you hear Wildarrane or Necroscream, not Bards.

Ghost towns because damn those guilds are empty.

DiscordantChord is in the spec :P

Yes, but it's not spec specific.

I think bardquisition and hunger spamming tbh.

Naia:

but Deathprophecy isnt used at all, not ever, except maybe if your opponent is afk and prone and sleeping (that's a joke).

For a brief time I was owning some people with DeathProphesy because they just flat out ignored it happening and stood there attacking until I made them explode out of nowhere. B)

In your demesne it is quite possible to pull DeathProphesy off if you get a decent set, don't need just that lucky x2 or x3 of a rune(which I'm still convinced is a bug. should be changed if it's not, anyway).

And to be on topic. I always think of Deepbond with Ecology. <3 my +con badgers.

I thought if you even cured one aff. out of the rune set, it would fail? Like if you got stupid stupid stupid if they cured stupidity at any time the whole thing would break?

The first time you tried DP on me I avoided it, but then you got me the second time :(

No, they just have to have 3 of the 5 affs at the moment that you hit them with othala. Everything before that doesn't matter.

And you can supersling a rune and othala. So if you get stupid-peace-stupid-justice-stupid. You can SUPERSLING CEN AND OTHALA and if that hits them before the time fades, they are dead.

... that is pretty awesome.

I'm kind of tempted to go through my whole rant about DeathProphesy, but I'll just mention that if you have 2 Trans Runists, something I've only rarely gotten in Hartstone...

Runist1: SUPERSLING RUNE1 AND RUNE2 AT RAZENTH
Runist2: SUPERSLING RUNE3 AND OTHALA AT RAZENTH

Doesn't matter what set of runes you get then, if you can time it properly.

Sure, but that'd require actually having two Runists. Biiiiiig 'if' on your statement! >____>

I think Aquamancy's sig would be preserve. Used to see frozen bodies now and then - wonder what happened to it.

Did you read the rest after that sentence? "Something I've only rarely gotten in Hartstone..."

To be more specific, rarely as in twice ever since I switched to Runes myself.

I did. I'm referring to the fact that Runists are rare in *any* guild, let alone in HS (which struggles in terms of population anyway compared to the other melder guilds). Besides people who take it for RP, of course.

Yeah, runes isn't a very good skillset. It's a non-choice for mages and druids are really better served with dreamweaving or shamanism!

1v1 Preserves are non-viable in an overall sense, unless they have no system, and even with report 750, in groups unless you're the melder there are much better things to wastespend power on. Most frozen bodies seen were most likely from group preserves pulled off by Nydekion.

AquaNeos:

Nydekion.

Such an awesome name.

I assumed the fact that Runist mages pretty much don't exist just went without saying. Runist druids seem to pop up now and then though, mainly to spam Rad, I assume.

If I had the credits I'd skillflex Runes.

The RP isn't even that good. You've got great (read:better) potential RP with all of the other three druid terts. You can totally go for the entire runist thing, but in general it's a huge amount of work to get something fairly bland as far as guildskill rp goes /shrug. And unfortunately, I can't really see any way to buff the skillset without introducing entire new overarching mechanics. The (mostly useless) affs are there to stay because of their significance, and the prophecies are all meh, but working as well as they could be. Needs shrouded casting!

EDIT: I guess I could see a runist aquamancer. You should still just take TK, though.
