This game forced me to think a little bit more than I usually do.. one of the longest games I've had in a while.
Anyway, Kalel and I learned several things from this game. How to counter more tricks I guess. I made several mistakes myself.. but most of it we were just trying to end the game faster, as we had a lead that surely scored us victory and we just wanted to hurry it up. We should have sat back a little bit, thought things through, and gone back out (like taking a timeout in football / basketball so you can pull some super play lol). They did a great job of prolonging the game as long as they could (which, had we lost focus entirely, might have tripped us up enough so they could pull back into the lead by grabbing a portal and never losing it).
I was hoping you weren't going to lose to a TB that never switched forms. Good work Kalel and Rawr
we won them me going for a build like that here a few days ago tho.
TB isn't weak when played right
*edit:* Rawr seemed to have a different partner that time tho
ya homestar was my partner that time.. we were frustrated after the initial issues of getting the game going... then it didnt help that he didnt have a mic, and he got groffling warplate instead of currency which lost us about 11k gold which we could have got giants when you were still war rank 6 : / But you definitely squashed is that game.
He's talking about form switching as tb tho. Whenever you change forms, tb gains a buff. so, if every 20 seconds you change to fire and back again, you will get 50% mana regen and 50 weapon dmg (each are 20 second buffs.. dont remember which gives which.. but you get both if u change out of form and back into form once every 20 seconds).

yea, well that would explain a few things (still think we would've been able to win).

oh, I thought it was on something like 5secs, but if it really is a whole 20sec boost I guess I should switch while capping... (these buffs assume that I have fire-aura skills taken right?, or wait no... those bonuses mean that those boosts must be in the modes themselves)

15-20 seconds, you dont have to have talents in either. Simple test - lvl 1 tb, just switch forms at crystal then switch back, check ur buffs - you've now got 50% mana regen and increased weapon dmg. You only get the buff when you change forms (unlike qot where you get a constant buff for being in closed form).
You can change forms and have the dmg buff and mana buff at the same time. I constantly go back and forth. You don't need 2 helms with TB if you do this right. His skill is a plenor in itself
