What you could do is have the monster be broken into sub-pieces, but the vital piece has hp equal to the sum of all the piece's hp. When you kill a piece, the vital piece loses that much hp, so you get to make progress by killing the other pieces, but you can't just focus fire the main piece because...

The problem with A) is that they aren't high level powers. They're low level powers you have to pay extra to use at your own level. You should never, ever use any scaling low level power-it gets worse and worse every level, because it stays at the same relative power but costs more each level. The o...

In WoW, all DPS is essentially broken down into 2 systems-rotations and priorities. If you're a class that uses a priority system, you have a hierarchy of abilities and you just use whichever is the highest priority whenever you can. Shadow priests are an example of this. Rotation classes just go th...

The worst part is that it wouldn't even be hard to make Martial powers equal to Magic ones, especially in a video game. But the designers just don't do it.

PR has never cared what they, or anyone does. He only cares about what people say they do, or rather, what he says they do. Remember when he threw the hissy fit over bad posting behavior in the Den, when he was the only one doing the things he was complaining about?

'Cause he did that.

Telekinesis was also very good. What really bothered me was the way they did leveled enemies. It wasn't that you fought things which were increasingly powerful as you leveled up-no, you simply fought the exact same enemies to the point where at level 18 you were just as threatened by a pack of wolve...

That's not odd at all. The religious right has sufficiently demonized the word "homosexual" that it now carries a completely negative meaning. Literally, when people think of a "homosexual" they think of a boogey-man predator who wants to rape their children. "Gay" and ...
