Good work, Iceman! You got me craving some PW invasions last night... unfortunately, I neglected to consider it's precisely the wrong time to invade the Painted World (peak hours in Japan). I felt I did fine considering the hideous lag I faced in many of the fights, but it's very discouraging to know exactly what's coming have the counter ready or even do the counter & just eat a BS for my troubles.
On that note; today I saw the most pathetic build I've ever seen: Mom mask, Havel's chest and Great club... ninja flipping with the hornet ring. And he had enough health to tank 2 wogs and a DMB claymore R1. For those keeping score at home; you need 91 endurance for that gear. I was thinking this dude was a hacker, but you can actually get something like that at SL 100 -- if you don't have anything else. I honestly couldn't say what else he had, he probably had the hollow soldier waistcloth, though. I'm guessing he was 125; because he killed me with a BS (that I even baited him into trying while prepared for lag...) that I'd say did around 1250-1300 damage; so I'm sure he had more strength that the minimum for 2-handing even with the hornet ring.
Today, has been much better for the most part. I had 2 flawless victories versus spawn gankers in dark AL and another where I did beat 2 spawn gankers with no visible HP on my bar -- not a tiny sliver -- none. I wasn't quick enough to confirm it (killing the white after the host took most of my post-host-death-action-time :razz:), but there's no way in hell I had more than 1 HP.
On the business front; if you haven't signed up for the event please do so! And if you have find excuses to post in the thread.
And even if I can't purge any place I man can dream or come close enough to satisfy the person in my case. Though a challenge would be a nice option.
I suppose I should have time to switch if I see one of those uber-tank builds and want to put the DMB on the claymore... and if I don't have time I probably wouldn't have time to buff either. In fact, I'm liking this much better already just for having higher AR on the claymore when I don't have time to buff. 
:razz:
