Ahhhh thank you for explaining, I was so confused lol. Feel a bit embarassed to ask this next question, but how does one tell the difference between crits and extra damaage hits? I thought crits just meant extra damage?
Hi, Mithril. Allow me to share something with you. I see that the Consortium listed the war flail as a "Whiffle". Most people hate the war flail. Some claim that it is worse than a dagger. I've used it a few times, but don't care for it. With that said, I had a terrific slasher in DM-8. This guy was fantastic. He was learning skills like crazy. The guy was 5-0-0. And then he had a random match against Zinc. Zinc was one of the Consortium's warriors. Zinc killed my slasher with a war flail. If it were by anyone else, I would've been annoyed. I'd told a friend who returned to the game, "It's the Consortium. It makes perfect sense."
Sorry, I thought that it was a funny story.

There are certainly worse people to spend your time with than The Consortium at a Face. Unfortunately, most of THOSE types sit at the same table with him so ...
TC's one of my favorite people in the game. Had a good time hearing his critiques of the WW2 museum in NOLA. Almost like he had first hand knowledge of the events ...
