Elitism, that's why the FS community is so toxic. They all think they are so much better than the rest. "I don't use healing incatations", "I buff 5 times before starting the duel", "The mimic tear should be removed", etc. They condemn healing while running extremely overpowered weapons, instant backstabs, instant bleed, sleep procs, weapons that are extremely fast, I'll play against anything and everything and will try to beat it with a base game build (except for the crimsom medallion +3 and electrocharge), that's my fun.

Replied to your fun comment in a reply before. But just to add on to the e-sports thing. Have you seen the players that play like their characters are having a seizure? Constantly turning, crouching and standing up? Those are the ones that your comments fits better.

They don't heal because they only see their builds as viable and they can't conceive that something else is possible. Also unfair for builds without it? How about they invest some points there if they need it? Oh wait, they already have their own way to counter damage, they have high defense, more armor, light roll, you are acting like nobody has an alternative to it, just because you see my HP bar go up does not mean the result isn't the same.

Our first fight you ran a great katana with bleed and poison. About sleep, despite me considering "not very good manners" I don't ♥♥♥♥♥ when I fight against them, it might be annoying but finding a counter to those is always interesting, like jumping when the sleep procs so you are forcibly stuck in a fall animation and are invulnerable.

Poison and regen area good combo, kinda like running opposites, I heal while you constantly lose health. Poison is easily counterable with talismans and the regen shield, yeah but bleed in your great katana? Of course you can roll it (thank god) but you proc it constantly, this way you are likely to get a bleed proc because of how fast and how much range the weapon has.

Your build is extremely agressive, mine isn't, I can be more agressive against builds that won;t demolish my 1.5k health. That's it, why does it hurt you so much that I have a different playstyle?

Dude, I attacked first then rolled to the side of your talons, not rolled into them.

Yeah min maxed builds always use those ashes of war (like Storm caller) to instantly demolish an opponent's health. leaving them with barely any HP left to continue the fight. Where's the fun in fights that last 30 seconds?

Sorry dude but you are missing the point of what having fun is. Not everybody has fun the same way. I have fun with my build, if I lose that's okay, if I win, that's okay. Do you think I'm raging or taking it seriously?

Heal from afar is overpowered. Comes out way faster than other heals and even allows your character to turn away so you can even avoid backstabs, that's why I prefer heals that force you to stay in place.

The point of dueling isn't to see who has a better advantage, what? what kind of.. it's to be fun, cause... you know, it's a game?
It's because you see it like it's some e-sport that makes us incompatible, we don't have the same views clearly, and we wont see eye to eye.

Finally, people don't heal because it makes things boring and completely unfair for builds without it, would make every build a faith build, and completely destroy variety.
This isn't some elitist drivel it's a thing for a reason.

That's all. I'm out, vilify me if you have to. it is what it is, I just want the game to be fun and engaging rather than "Who has the biggest advantage"

I will give you that talons doesn't always catch but it exploded as you rolled in so it should have hit you. (It didn't)

Storm caller only stuns for the first three hits, not the full thing.

Quick question, what are your thoughts on heal from afar?

You can roll bleed, I have never used sleep once, and in your opinion "always have an advantage" where did that go?
You also used poison against me so... yeah. poison + regen, very fair and fun.
you have quite an idea of what's op yet you use as much stacking regen as possible...

I only "play passive" when i'm forced to, unlike you where it's your default.
