Guild Wars 2

Havana.8625:

Haven’t played Ele in many months so I am really out of date. Does anyone have a high damage build that doesn’t involve lightning hammer and just the 1 key?

Check the new patch notes. Conjures got buffs across the board.
Lava Axe now seems to have better options as does Ice Bow. I’m also curious how Earth Shield can function but hopes are low for it just by its nature.

So, am I just utterly jaded and blind or are most of the staff changes bug fixes, AoE mechanics changes, and nerfs?
I see handful of changes that were mentioned but for the most part we all knew those were not going to matter much, but pretty much everything else feels like a net-negative for it.

Oh well, I was already using a conjure build. I guess I’m personally getting more “variety” in switching my 9 skill (LH) out more often. At least Ice Bow now should have solid dps outside of frost storm. Anyone else get the feeling the devs want to push ele to treat conjures like engineers treat kits ie depending on them?

Infamous Darkness.3284:

To be honest you have to back a little more in history than that, to just say that the German empire Pre-WW1 started conquests to settle domestic disputes is quite far off

You’re right, because I never said that.
I said:
“outlet for domestic discontent”
It wasn’t for settling domestic disputes, I didn’t say that. They used it as a strategy to outlet the expansionists.
Although it would be dishonest not to include that they also sought resources and specifically in the Far East coal stations for the High Seas Fleet to operate in the Pacific, it was utilized for the purpose I initially stated as well.

Infamous Darkness.3284:

in fact Germany is considered one of the younger countries in the world as before this it was known as the Holy Roman Empire (which many make fun of because it was none of the 3[holy, roman, or an empire]) At that time the nobles held the most power in the land, until Otto von Bismarck (prime minister of Prussia) essentially paid off countries around the holy roman empire to not get involved in the conflict between Austria and its nearby “German” allies, and Prussia and its other “German” allies. Prussia won the war in about 7 weeks uniting Germany. It was more of a unification effort until Otto von Bismarck was removed as the prime minister, and the new monarch at that time decided they had gotten behind in the race to colonize the world and got involved.

This had literally nothing to do with what I was talking about, especially not in context. It’s just a bunch of gobbledeegoop that we all know about already that is irrelevant and for padding.

Also no no no, a Kingdom of Germany did exist in the middle ages and formed the base of the HRE. It’s the result of the Eastern Carolingian Empire division and is where the HRE, its royal line AND claim to the Roman throne via Translatio Imperii came from. The crown of Charlemagne was then divided by the separating Carolingian Empire in the late 9th century, which is how Otto I inherited a direct connection to a crowned “King of the Romans” and established the HRE. The HRE through the middle ages also consisted of both the broader Kingdom of Germany, the Kingdom of Italy, and various other Kingdoms and Duchies at various times, making it a legitimate Empire. So that makes the HRE (at least in the middle ages) Holy via crowning by the Pope (until Electors became a major thing), Roman via lineage to Charlemagne, and an Empire via rulership over multiple Kingdoms.

And another thing, your history after 1800 is kind of bizarre. The HRE largely stuck around as a loose Germany confederation till Napoleon. This was due to Charles V, who Holy Roman Emperor and decided all territories would be staunchly Catholic, he effectively made sure Spain did not develop using New World plunder by spending it all fighting the Turks, Dutch Protestants, and assorted German Protestants. In any case when he failed at that he split his empire between heirs into essentially a “Spanish” side and an “Austrian” side. The Austrian side simply “took lead” of the decentralizing German HRE. The point of mentioning that is by 1800 the German states were all used to relative autonomy within the form of a confederation. Anyway the HRE no longer existed after 1806 because of Napoleon who dissolved and consolidated my German principalities. So I have no idea why you are saying Bismark was paying off parts of a political entity that did not exist anymore. What did exist after this was the German Confederation which were formed around the major German states at the time, Prussia and Austria, and essentially functioned as a buffer between the two states. It would eventually dissolve however as Austria and Prussia continually warred against each other to determine domination of German speaking Europe, ending with Prussia defeating the Austrians and creating the North German Confederacy around themselves and isolating the Austrians. Shortly afterwards the North German Confederacy absorbed the modern Southern German states and was renamed the German Empire, this was affirmed when the Emperor was named in Versailles.

Moving on, Otto von Bismark had already united a German Empire and was slowly going forward with a colonial empire (he didn’t think much of it though). The only link I can see in your claim that colonization was part of unifying the empire is that many saw overseas colonies as affirmation of a sovereign nation. Aside from that I’m just not sure.
Also part of the reason Wilhelm II was so gung-ho about colonies goes back to my earlier point about the High Seas Fleet. Wilhelm II made the High Seas Fleet a high priority in the German Empire and considered it very preciously. This would reveal itself as a terrible way to view a military function when he would constantly hamper their ability to do anything in WWI.

tl;dr I have no idea why you typed that second paragraph.

Diovid.9506:

This combined with a lack of lands to conquer and armies to fight

This is something I’ve never understood.
By now we’ve all seen the unrevealed global maps of Tyria right? There’s a ton of unexplored (to us) territory to the East and North of the Charr lands. Why exactly don’t they just expand there?
You know it’s not an uncommon strategy to use foreign conquests and colonization of foreign lands to make an outlet for domestic discontent, the German Empire of Pre-WW1 did it.

Asura technology irks me in general…should have just said that Rata Sum was a spaceship, that the asura weren’t living under ground but were in stasis, and that they crash landed here millenia ago.

Raoknorog.1928:

Seriously, I do not have anything against you. So relax. If you come to troll, do not get trolled.

Typing in a grammatical structure that is not English is not trolling…

But I agree that I disagree with you. If you think all the fields are in balance and are good. That is ok.

That’s not what I said.
You complained that they have no tactical use, that apparently no one can use them without 1337 coordination, and that:

Combo fields are pretty much useless in their current form.

Raoknorog.1928:

Your opinion has been heard.

Hear != Listen
Also, same.

sirsquishy.8531:

No, OP is clearly talking about Combo Fields in their state with Finishers, and not the combo fields themselves.

Raoknorog.1928:

Combo fields are pretty much useless in their current form.

yeaok.jpg

sirsquishy.8531:

He talks mainly about piercing an arrow through a poison field (20% Finisher I bet) and how its lack luster for him. He does not really talk much about the field’s presence all that much…other then maybe that other players dont see them or setup to use them when they do see them….ect.

He was talking about combo fields…
All he talks about are fields…

Regina Buenaobra.6193:

It’s hard to tell what the functionality of the item is from just a screen shot, so I’m here to clarify. This screen shot actually shows the Bloody Prince Thorn costume and not an armor skin, so it is not usable in combat.

My tears can now sink the Titanic

#remove_gs_from_the_game

sirsquishy.8531:

There are currently 23 useful Combo Fields out of a total of 36. Of those 23 we ‘as a community’ use a total of 13 on a daily basis (from what I have seen in WvW and at world Bosses).

Those 13 are;

In the order of Finisher\Field popularity
Fire-Blast\Leap = Might+(Fury)\Fire Shield
Lighting-Blast = Swiftness
Water-Blast\leap\Whirl\Projectile = Healing\Healing\Healing\regeneration
Ethereal-Blast\Leap = Chaos Armor\Chaos Armor
Light-Whirl\Projectile = Remove Condition\Remove Condition
Poison-Projectile\Whirl = Poison\Poison

That is less then 1/3 of the combo fields we have open to us that I see getting used regularly.

Those are combo field skills.
OP speaks that combo fields themselves are tactically useless.
There is a difference between “Combo Field Skill” and “Combo Field”, of which there are only 9.

Raoknorog.1928:

As I said, some are ok.

That’s a strange way to say most.

Raoknorog.1928:

Calculate how many fields are in the game, and how many you think are really good?

They’re pretty much all made to be useful AT LEAST for the class dropping them.
Unless you’re bad and don’t drop your finishers on it or have no idea what the fields do and just hit buttons.

Raoknorog.1928:

Which do have tactical use behind?

All of them?
It just depends whether the people who have them in their skill list know how to use them.

From how many you speak in team speak that you want the field A?

What is this?
Is this English?
Did I say something about those 20 odd stacks having to be group coordinated? Maybe read my post again:
“The ele can solo-stack some 20 stacks of might using the right weapons and traits.”
S/D is a helluva combo.

Or is that, “Giev my mihgt, ZEEEERGDOOOM!”

The hell are you talking about?
Or was the obvious way I wasn’t taking you seriously with my tone affecting your brainwaves?

The problem isn’t zerker, it’s that DPS far outshines Support and CC, FAR OUTSHINES to the point that it is very feasible and at times desirable to have full and hard DPS instead of a more “balanced” party.
The problem is that DPS is the best role and that zerker is the best trait set for it.
—-
Also what’s stated above, the best “support” for a bunch of glass builds is more glass builds nuking things. Unless it’s particularly easy or gimmicky content a support doing little damage only hurts the group by unintentionally extending the fight and thus actually increasing their vulnerability.

Relentliss.2170:

with an Aion grind

EL OH EL

You must have played on a private server or Aion must have massively changed level progressing from the first months of release because that is BULL FECES.

Kyskythyn.6471:

You mean, like opening your inventory and weapon swapping? confused

It’s tedious, removes virtually all your awareness of what’s going on around you because of the size of your character screen, can cause issue with unequipping and equipping when you have anything in bags, requires you to be out of combat and well removed to make any kind of switch (which in the meantime the battle situation could have changed, not that you’d know because your screen is in the way), is impossible to switch mid-battle to suite a situation, locks us into using the same rotations in an extended engagement ad nauseum because our “variety” is just having to hit more buttons to do the same thing, and creates the possibility of ending up unequipped or half equipped because you couldn’t see what was going on around you and have to be out of combat to make any changes.

Yea, it’s pretty much the same! confused

Aren’t dungeons and PvE in general balanced around Rares (Yellows) of the level the content is?
When did they change it to be balanced to Exotic levels?

Raoknorog.1928:

One example. Like a warrior with his leap.
If combo fields would be so important that when a warrior is going to get his initial contact with enemy, it would make sense to say in team speak that cast me a field I am going to leap.

You can SEE the fields on the ground and the effects around the edge of them. All you need to do is know which one is which and they’re all pretty obvious. The only difficult ones to pick out are ethereal and light, at least for me.

lol another fail word filter. “The only kittenes to pick…”
I tried to use the word hard and one as adjective and noun….man are they overzealous with this…

Raoknorog.1928:

It would be nice to see that using those fields would actually affect notably to the battle.

Fire Field + Blast Finisher = LOLMIGHTSTACKING

Do you even zerk bro?

Also lol at the “there are none that are good!” sentiment.
The ele can solo-stack some 20 stacks of might using the right weapons and traits.

Seraph.6145:

My “favs”:
“Replenishing”
“Eat my dust!”
“<something> SIX FEET TALL!!!”
“Defense, then Offense!”

Frakkin’ annoying! We need mute option! Please!

Since my friend is often in the same room as me when we dungeon over the weekends, I’ll occasionally say “MY POWER IS LIKE A TIDAL WAVE!” or “BEHOLD THE OCEANS POWER!” out loud lol.
Especially when we are about to do something or I am.

ArmageddonAsh.6430:

Kal Spiro.9745:

Bunker isn’t a role. Just because you can spec for this play style doesn’t make it a role. Healing and Tanking are both part of support. Every class has the ability to be specced for support, dps and control. This is a fact. The problem is that neither support nor control are good for anything and so aren’t worth it.

Bunker is pretty much the same as Tank. In terms of other MMO games Tank is pretty much a bunker, take low damage and have high survivability while doing a little damage. The biggest problem is that certain support builds are FAR superior than support builds of other classes, same goes for healing builds and control builds. The only build that is really constant across all the classes is DPS and even then some classes are far superior at it.

Except that the ROLE of the tank in the trinity is aggro holding ie CC.

Can I get in on this fun?
I really wanna run dungeon explorable paths but also actually find out what the story is.
I think I’ve absorbed the path 1 & 2 stories in CoF just by osmosis alone

Alexa deStrange.8612:

Thanks for your responses.

I will put on some Runes of Altruism and try that Rock Solid trait with 20 Earth and see how that compares. It seems like some sound advice, thanks.

It will be best to go forward thinking of it as “Support” instead of “Healing” as ANet wanted to move away from the Trinity and considers the traditional healer as support.
You can still find support by way of boons, cleansing, and stuff like that, but if you just focus on making your green numbers as big as possible you’ll be let down.

Everyone self-heals.
You’re best “heal” support would be cleansing and rallying.

Atlas.9704:

Every MMORPG has that problem.

Reading your reply I can see that you didn’t understand what was said. Let me try to clarify.

I’ve yet to find a game that starts you killing the game boss right out of the beginning.

We aren’t talking about the dragons, Risen Champs, or world bosses as “realistic for NPCs to overcome”. That’s you not reading what we said and making something up so you can actually have an argument. We are talking about how the NPCs die to wildlife, simple bandits, and other things. You know, things that if this were a real world they would be reasonably expected to overcome? Starting off throwing out “dirp NPCs should realistically kill the game boss!?! U so sillay!” is just misleading and diverting.

Atlas.9704:

Even though I get your meaning with “realistically” I still laugh because this game is anything but that.

So then why even start off with “dirp huerp world boss!”?
A world where trained soldiers are killed by a wolf is immersion breaking and silly. I don’t expect every single thing that happens in real life to be modeled here but I expect what can and is modeled in to be realistic for the world it is in. A world where all of the sentient races are helpless before everything in the world is not an easy world to get immersed into, the world becomes a joke instead of a representation of another world.

Atlas.9704:

Which is good, if I wanted to conquer things realistically I’d go outside.

How is that good? What does it provide? I don’t understand this reasoning in the slightest.
Unless your dream when you get in game is to kill sewer rats and wolves for quest hearts…that’s just silly.
Not all of us want to be the only competent existence in the game universe. That just makes the world a joke.

Atlas.9704:

However the respawn rate is still bugged out there, so I’m content with this game.

?

Atlas.9704:

Yes technically a farmer could handle wurms by him/herself but considering that’s the gimmick to get you leveling up, I like to think the farmers were busy at the time.

?
No they really wouldn’t. In fact regular civilians, traders, farmers, you know the people who aren’t fighters or trained to take on monsters its expected that they can’t handle some things. It’s when people who really should be able to handle these everyday run ins are getting slaughtered. It’s understandable when you have a swarm of centaur at a contested point as that’s how it would realistically be since they are fighting them.
It’s mostly when soldiers are getting wiped so easily, it makes you wonder how the entirety of tyria isn’t overrun rampant with the true dominant species, wolves and spiders.

Atlas.9704:

Is it heroic? Not on the same scale as killing the Claw, but like one of the beginning NPCs said I’m helping around the community and inspiring others to do like wise.

Missing the point in grand fashion.

Still wish we had “underflow” servers for “dead zones”.

Exosferatu.2961:

You (We) are the heroes and heroines in this game. The NPC’s need our help to overcome threat.

Except they apparently need us to solve all of their problems, even ones they realistically should overcome.
It seems to me like the entirety of Tyria would be wiped clean of sentient life in a day if not for our hero…

Well, while we’re on that topic, dodging in and out while hitting people is not skill either in my opinion. Anyone can dodge, anyone can activate skills in a certain order.

If there was no limit on how many times you could dodge and no cooldowns on skills sure…

It takes skill to research and create builds of your own that you can show off in PvP by literally destroying everyone.

The word you’re looking for isn’t skill. It’s dedication.

Galtrix.7369:

I remember building a tank Paladin build in WoW and going into PvP for the first time. It was so ridiculously good that I only died once and I would rush into a mob of 3-5 people by myself and kill them all within 5-10 minutes.

That sounds like a broken build if anything…

All I had to do was stand there, pop some heal skills in a specific order, and repeatedly bash my enemies in the face while stunning them, because that’s what I was specced for. I researched the skills I wanted to use and combined the best of them into a chain of fantastic awesomeness.

That’s like drag racing in a corvette against someone in a Prius.
That’s not skill. It’s simply dedication to having the best build/gear/class.

That takes skill.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Lol, this game is balanced. Please remove the balance. I will then choose the best combination of everything so I can be the best. Thank you.

And that takes skill.

DPS is only build comrade. The Proletariat need only the most efficient of traitings!
The only heals we need is of glorious party!
Tanking is for capitalist dawgs!
Comrade Zhukov says “ZerkZerg Comrades!” and thus we follow!

Galtrix.7369:

And the combat system in PvE needs improvement as well. It seems ridiculously clunky and jerky, and the skills feel like they don’t activate right away when you press the skill buttons.

The game is pretty much entirely server-side.
This is the reason IIRC for the condition cap.

Katai.6240:

You want to show that you’re better by having inherently better stats, while standing in one place casting skills in some optimized order.

I just gotta say, maybe GW2 isn’t the game for you. I’m not saying that GW2 can’t improve. I’m just saying that I’d probably stop playing altogether if it turned into whatever you’re thinking.

Yea I don’t really get what the skill and accomplishment is there, it’s like completing a game on easy using a walkthrough and being proud of it…

GuildWarsPlayer.5608:

Well from my experience thus far, the elementalist is the hardest profession I’ve leveled.

At least until you get to lvl 40, spec 20 into Fire and get conjurer to LH your way through mobs.

Trimon.1028:

I wonder what will be in 2014 :o

-Personal Journal: Character-bound journals that has written entries about the NPCs you’ve interacted with, your relationship with them, the places you’ve been, the history you’ve learned about each location, and the events you’ve participated in.

-Newspaper and Bulletin Boards (news about the living story updates, making clear what is going on in the world right now, bulletin board lists all current activities like mini games, world events and has a link to LFG)

-Profession and Character-specific Quests: Upon logging in, your character is notified by an NPC that he has urgent matters to attend. This opens up a new line of character-specific quests based on your profession, race and the characteristics you chose when you made the character. These quest lines eventually leads to the 3 Mission Outposts (yes, like in Guild Wars 1) that either take us to Maguuma Wastelands, Far Shiverpeaks or Crystal Desert. It is then that the 3 imminent threats are revealed to us. And you know who they are in each of those locations.

-New Race: New threats have caught the attention of the Tengu and they are allowing a representative of each of the Orders into the Dominion of the Winds. This is a new quest line that you can participate once you’ve attained a new rank in your Order by completing some tasks. The Tengu wants to Order to share information about the Elder Dragons. In exchange, they will offer their help in venturing into the Maguuma Wastes, Far Shiverpeaks or Crystal Desert.

-New Weapon Types: New profession-specific quest lines open up opportunities to learn new weapon types. Seek a mentor in the Far Shiverpeaks that will teach you how to use a Lance. A tribe in the Crystal Desert will teach you their art of Scythe wielding in exchange for your lessons in Axe combat. Go on a hunt with a band of natives in Maguuma Wastelands and learn how to shoot a Crossbow.

-Guild Halls: With new threats rising, it becomes clearer than ever that people have to unite. Destiny’s Edge reforms. Guilds across Tyria build strongholds called Guild Halls to prepare for war. Guild Halls can obtain their own custom bulletin board, newspaper, menagerie, merchants, portals, and dueling arena.

-Dueling/Sparring: New threats create urgency in everyone. Tyrians are training for combat and learning new skills and new weapon types. Tyrians are also getting into the habit of sparring and dueling. A player can challenge another to a duel out in the Living World. The outcome of a match may form a rivalry as the number of times you win/lose against that player tallies up.

I love everything in this. Especially the newspaper part.
I think we should have a “Tyrian Monthly” based out of Lion’s Arch and Capital specific ones as well that tell of goings on (specifically in the LS). Additionally you could have ‘archives’ at the different Newspaper HQ’s where you could read up on prior editions and thus prior LS’s. Personally think it’s a brilliant idea.

Also adding more race and profession specific personal quests (which are INDEPENDENT of an overarching super-story) would be wonderful.

I do champ zergs to do my dailies…

Btw “king fault” theory is really logical.

Oh I can’t wait to hear this.

IRL, if you own military-grade weapon, you are one who take responsibility for it by the law. And if your friend/family member/etc takes this weapon and kills someone with it, you will be arrested and taken to the court too.

Except that isn’t analogous to the situation here.
That’s a matter of private ownership and individual responsibility to secure a highly regulated weapon. One person taking care of one item is one thing, one person personally managing, securing, maintaining, and deploying an entire nations “weapon stockpile” (see below) is another. Hell, this isn’t even an “weapon stockpile” (see below) we’re talking about its archives. So ontop of expecting that one person should be in total control of an entire nations “weapon stockpile” (see below) we should also expect them to be in total control of all recorded knowledge. PFFFTTT

If we apply your example to this situation i it is more akin to no one in the United States able to go near a military base except for the president. It’s ridiculous, unreasonable, and not how logic or real life works. In things like this because leaders are not omniscient and omnipotent it is built in that they delegate responsibilities down. That is expected and how the real world works at that scale. This is why all of Korsbaek’s statements are ridiculous. He is setting standards that make no sense unless leaders are supposed to ascend to godhood in order to lead.

---

Oh holy mother of god the kitten word filter won’t let me use “a——-r——-s——-e——-nal”
It’s the term for a kitten stockpile of weapons. I literally cannot believe this garbage.
kitten I can’t even explain anything in clear terms because this forum is so terrible.

no im stating that a leader should make systems so that none can use it unless intented from highest place, one system would be to have 2 others go down in the archavies with him and then he could not steal any thing that could blow up the nation.
some of the information you can gain in tyria has the power as a nuke or more and should atleast have the same kind of security to them.

Hahaha oh wow
So you want a system so inefficient and useless that it can only be accessed within the Kings physical presence? I suppose the King should also bring the Army with him just in case said advisor hired assassins so he could access the archives without the King? Oh but wait! By your logic that would be inviting even more problems because what if the Army is in cahoots with the advisor! Ooops! The King should have to expect taht everyone is out to get him! Maybe we shouldn’t even have an archive then? No! Maybe we shouldn’t even have an army, advisors, or citizens! Who knows when they could turn on you right? I mean, it’s only the right thing to do for a monarch to ensure that everything in their country is run with their exacting permissions. If you can’t trust someone else to do it then you gotta do it yourself! Hey Zhaitan! Mind taking over the monarchy in Orr? We just aren’t omniscient enough to rule!
Hey what if that was what Khilbron was doing, making Zhaitan the ruler because only in the deranged mind of a lunatic is total physical and mental control of a population the overarching requirement of being fit to rule?
Also if the King has to be physically present for every little thing done by the government and citizens in the country, who in the world is actually running the country? Are they running themselves? No…that’s not right…what if they do something bad? Then it’s all the king’s fault for letting bad things happen.

Whelp…

I don’t know whether to weep or laugh at this anymore, probably should do both.
Your ideas are insane and they just keep on spiraling down as you try to defend them. There is no defending ridiculous ideas like that.

So then, by your standards, if you made an vault lined with the toughest materials possible, made so physically entering was impossible and put the “end life” button inside (assuming that you didn’t create the button, just that it existed and needed to be kept safe and destroying it was not an option) and then The Doctor in his TARDIS just jumped in, pressed the button, and jumped out it is your fault for not seeing that possibility? You are coming to insane conclusions, I’m sorry.

if i gave him promision to enter for something else then and then did not control that he did not take anything else yes then its my fault

That’s freaking ludicrous.
Unless monarchs are supposed to be omniscient gods your ideas are entirely kitten insane.
In fact, why don’t we just say that.
Korsbaek thinks only omniscient gods are qualified to rule as a monarch and fit the ludicrous definition set forth.
Therefore no nation in Tyria has a monarchy!
The queen is an imposter!
Revolution!
Let’s take this to where its heading though, the only true monarchs in Tyria are the Elder Dragons by your definition as they can at least assume control of their peons. Both controlling their minions and knowing all they know, wow! Such great and ideal monarchs!
Long Live Jormag!

I cannot believe the ideas you have. I literally cannot believe you are not trolling.

I suspect a reason for this is that meaningful PVE support leads to indestructible PVP bunkers.

Maybe PvE and PvP shouldn’t be using the same skills or balance of skills then…

- Tank/DPS/Healer trinity

To be fair, I think you should differentiate between a trinity and variety in builds, gameplay, and roles.

Or how about if you’re someone who enjoys playing well? Aren’t we allowed to have fun?

I really hate this forum sometimes.

No dude….you’re like…just an elitist and elitists are ruining the game.
I play how I want.
Hurp.

How dare you! Now my back will be under pressure as I need to carry you! /sarcasm

You should have lifted bro.
I play for fun on the backs of teammates!
It’s fun!

I have never used blast finishers, and I do not know what fire fields and combos are to be honest.

Full stop.
If you want to know how ele works both in conjunction with other classes and on its own you need to know about combo fields and finishers.
Specifically fire fields and blast finishers, which the Ele has in abundance and is pretty much our saving grace.

I must have just taken a hit of acid.
What kind of ridiculous parameters, conclusions, and qualifiers were just fired off?
Psychic kings?
Ludicrous definition of a monarch and dictator?
Future sight?
Deus Ex Machina?
“Things are this way because I need it to be that way”?

Figures.
