Are you just trying too hard, or are you really that mad? Either way, it's hilariously ineffective trolling.

Farsha is good brew option for War, many NM are immune to light/dark making war sucky at brewing. Also nice option to quick cap amber, retalition -> Amber fest.

Holding the NMs to pop Fistule will not get you jailed. I have screenshot proof that a GM will do nothing unless someone is holding an NM for over 30 minutes. Sucked at the time I was working on my Gandiva, but I turned around and did the same thing with no fear of being jailed.

30minutes makes sense. Like I said, this dude (was the same guy twice) would pop bloodguzzler as soon as the ??? came back after a Claim(So while Fistule was still alive), which if you're solo'ing (Actually solo'ing Fistule) could be between 25-35minutes of holding.

Holding leech 30 min is not that hard specially if someone bring guimauve and you loose claim, what you supposed todo kill Leech NM and waste another eft blood, not really, so you /wait next windows, and that mean way over 30 min, and add even more time if they keep beating you with guimauve or slug NM XD

Kinda hardly believe GM will force you to kill leech and waste a pop..

War doesn't suck at brewing. Herculean Slash, Flash Nova, Aeolian Edge, Sanguine Blade, Earth Crusher, etc. all say, "Hi." War has access to all of them, if you really wanted to brew on War.

On another note, my brother and I duoed(Thief+Monk) almost all of his Fistules this way, because it has pretty much become necessity. If people get Guzzler, then I get Guimauve and hold that son of a gun in an attempt to out do them. Plan on doing all mine this way as well, hopefully without much competition. It really doesn't take that long. I'd be with Zicdeh on this one, but since it is necessary to get Fistule, then there is no way around it :/

So far best comment i see here was to make each 3 NM a Ki for Fistule, fair game that way.

Call one and ask yourself.

Also, if you lose Fistule Claim to a Guimauve holder, you really suck or got really unlucky, Fistule would have to pop on top of Guimauve to have any chance over a Bloodguzzler claim.

Any GM with half a brain knows the claim conditions of Fistule and wouldnt jail someone holding bloodguzzler. If they were jailed it was because they were idiots. I also havent seen a GM respond to any call in under 20 minutes in years so whoever is holding it would have been able to grab fistule before agm every arrives.

I finished the Fistule path as Thf & Whm, fights were a bit slower but I got x2 drops most of the time so the extra few minutes was worth it to me.

You can't get jailed for this and anybody who says otherwise, POIDH. Let's move on.

*I had been marathoning fistule for at least six hours by that time which explains my blase attitude with the GM.

Guim is like rolling the dice. He's faster and more direct than the leech, but if caught casting magic during the pop you're screwed.

The key is, you were holding him actually during the window, or at least that's what the GM saw. Try holding him 20minutes before the window, I bet you get a different response.

How do you know he wasnt holding it for 15 minutes before the GM got ahold of him?

You didn't read very well. The GM only saw the "Five" minutes or so, which I pointed out.

When I called the GM, the dude and his botnet were actively holding Bloodguzzler while fighting Fistule to monopolize the NM.

well in most cases, unless the person is holding the NM right when Fistule is killed, it will take them 5-10 minutes to even respond. In that case, all you have to say is "oh, im holding it to pop Fistule, he will pop in 5-10 mins" you are just going to get the same result.

I'm not even talking about "Right when Fistule is killed", I'm talking about when it's just been claimed and at 90%.

What kind of outcome is it that you're looking for from your version of holding rules being enforced? The parameters of competition don't change based on when the tigger is popped. You can compete to pop it before the window, or you can compete to pop it when the window starts. Bloodguzzler isn't a more effective claiming tool based on how long he's been held. If anything, the system in place enforces sharing. A solo player cannot pop Fistule and be ready for the respawn of Bloodguzzler's ???.

Regardless of whatever you got some dumb GM(s) to do, this isn't what the rules against holding are meant to prevent. Quit whining.

You can use more than just the leech and gui - the slug works stupidly well.

I also took a pic of when the asshat told me he GM'd me. It was funny because like a minute or two afterward I claimed fistule, thus giving him the leech. For the record, the GM took about 45 minutes to respond (It was at 3AM on a tuesday morning PDT).
