My question is, why the fokk do you give a schit if me machine and lunger raise up shifters??
If we wanted to waste that much time working up shifter alts, don't you think we might have done it by now? I mean, how long have shifters been in the game? How many friends, that are decent players, do we have that have done the shifter thing, that we've talked to about their experiences? How many shifter bashers have we had in our parties, and watched the "damage" they dish out?
I'm thinking that if we had the slightest interest in doing something with shifters, we would've already done it by now. I know Machine made a shifter and got it up to lvl 19... notice how much he plays that alt now?
Yeah, sure... 2 klingon 5s or whatever the fuck they are can pull 300k/hr in a 2man party. Wheeeeeeeee. I can pull 300k/hr solo. Machine just did what, 338k solo, no hungas, no hastes, no purges, no gates. With dual orbs, no less. I'd bet that we could pull 300k/hr with 2 of -any- class without a problem, and I'd even go so far as to wager that we could do 300k/hr 2man with a little prep with any race/class combo you want to pick...
So yeah, maybe shifters have potential. Maybe if lunger, machine, myself, sinister, etc etc etc picked up a shifter and played with it for a few months, we could turn out some mad crazy numbers. But is it worth our time?
Sorry, but the initial time investment and boredom factor involved with the shifter class makes it SO not worth my time. I have so many other projects that I've been putting off while dumping 70+mill exp into two weapon skill, that a shifter alt isn't even on the list. Hell, maxing a shifter isn't even on my "I just won the lotto, quit my job, bought a T-1 connection to my living room, and I've vowed to do nothing but play AA for a year straight" list.
But really, feel free to keep trying to convince us otherwise... ya never know. Hell might freeze over, and my piggy might just sprout wings!
