Vampiric Prince -> The butterfly in the smoke. (5/15/2012 21:43:38)

Have you ever been to a 1v1 or 2v2 match where amid all the confusion with builds, you come across a player that truly has a unique build which made the match more pleasurable/ entertaining or even frustrating? This has happened to me on a number of occasions, in these situations I don't care whether I win or lose because the match somehow felt special and different to every other old boring tech or str abuse match. I had a super long break from epicduel, probably 8 months or so and noticed when I came back that my shadow guard physical just doesn't suffice any longer so I obviously forked out the dough for my first 10 k pack and have noticed that matches are a breeze now. One thing that saddens me though is that it's the same trend, but now it's rise of the tech mages. Poor old tac mercs, I now rip through them like I do with those players that have default equipment without an aux. I actually feel for the player base as a whole. All I see in my favourite mode (1v1) is people with abuse builds trying to keep up with the game and trying to remain in the flow of things while maintaining a respectful record. It's scary, one plus side though is I see non variums can finally compete, specifically bounties which used to have 2 non rare claws available in game with horrendous stats to boot.
Other than the fact that everything now seems standardized, things don't look too shabby. I would just like some varieties in builds, careful now- don't want to turn this thread into a suggestion XD So discuss if you've discovered a butterfly in the smoke? Is the butterfly yourself perhaps?
One last note on the tac mercs, that poison grenade build is now rubbish and will surely get them killed off in 1v1 which I find kinda hilarious, anyone else concur? They used to be like top dogs but these new tech mages are ridiculous, the ones with the supercharge builds. There's no point to even plot a strategy against one.
