I’d also like to point out that even though Xarxes runs 4 invulns, he isn’t one of the main offenders of the invuln stacking problem, per se. Yes, he runs 4 invulns, but his gameplan isn’t to stall you out and outlast you for 10 minutes while healstacking; all of his invulns if chained together don’t last as long as the fucking Summoner invuln at 10 seconds.
He blows you up. And he is damn good with his bar. The tournament proved that, even when literally gimped from 30 RPP and having some of the power he’s been accruing for months OOCly being taken away, he knows his bar better than 90% of most players know theirs.
And if he is only limited to one invuln, his build will be forced to get more aggressive, because if he messes up even slightly, he explodes. Xarxes has 12 perms, has been around for more than nearly every other character currently active with exceptions being in the low single digits, and has earned every single inch of power he’s gotten, but every time he displays how good he is mechanically with what he has been given, he is consistently thrown under the bus.
Every single time I’ve been with this guy and he is allowed to do something, without fail, people bitch about it. He’s a co-lead for my faction, yet he wasn’t allowed to participate in defensive raids twice in a row because of how strong he was. And if he doesn’t run invulns, you will be quickly reminded that the damage output in a usual RPB is so obscenely fucking high that running an invuln is basically necessary at this point.
Also- why would you ever namedrop Death’s Door in a balance sense? That costs 300 Undeath that took months to accrue. He worked for it, and it isn’t even an actual invuln.
Idk, I’m just tired of Xarxes being named and shamed like he’s some great threat to the balance of everything. Probably incoherent, I just woke up.
