One’s Methods
Heya there, I know its been a long time since I updated, just a bunch of changes going on in RL that have been keeping me from updates. However all changes are good ones, and I’m motivated to keep pumping out more Massive Pwnage goodness. I really liked working on this one because it introduces a new member to the cast of MP. Alison Doyle, or “Alice” as she goes by in the office, was a character created by Encifer to have someone for Locke to converse with at work. She soon developed into a more full character when Encifer started suggesting different ways we could use her for future plot arcs. Her last name, Doyle, is an homage to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, creator of Sherlock Holmes. I recently read the entire collection, which also got me back into an anime I had long been missing, Detective Conan.
Detective Conan is a popular mystery anime which stars Shinichi Kudo, an ace detective who has been shrunk to the size of an elementary school student. He lives at his girlfriend’s home, helping her detective father with cases under the alias of Conan Edogawa. Locke’s expression when he realizes the truth of Alice’s gaming nature is an homage to moments in Detective Conan when Conan puts all the pieces together. Praise be to Encifer for his awesome lightning drawing skills.
~FOR JUSTICE!~
using LESS than 4 hotkeys is unique to DPS!
@#&!, using less than 2 skills is unique to dps!
THE LOGIC AND TECHNICAL ASPECTS OF THIS WEBBASED COMIC ARE FLAWED AND SHALL SUFFER MY NERD RAGE!
Are you implying that while in a DPS class you use less than 2 keys or always more than two keys?
As far as I know, and many of my friends who roll hunters use Arcane shot as their bread and butter, but usually have to press more than 2 keys. Alice would always use Hunter’s Mark, Serpent Sting, Concussive Shot, and Arcane Shot as a Marksman hunter. Most likely she would use traps as well. So yeah, around 4.
Rogues use more more or less around 4. Myself usually using Mutilate, Eviscerate, Kidney Shot, and Rupture. If you’re implying that DPS classes press a single key during combat, I’m not quite sure what to say to comfort you. NO classes in WoW rely on single key combat, otherwise I wouldn’t pay for the dang thing.
Also as you can imagine this was a pretty far-fetched inference made by Locke, so you can only assume that we are poking fun at something. Look at Alice’s last name for the clue. The lightning bolt is the second clue.
Happy Hunting.
my dear locke… “macros” <- there u go… 1 key ^^… im a marksman hunter too 😛
