Ha ha ha...I have to share this with you all

My D2 playing friends and I have this inside joke about all the idiot 1337 players on B.net. They are known to us as the "OMG j00 n00b use firewall idiot" people. I always regarded the phrase as a joke...but somebody actually said it to me today! :lol:

If I had some hosting space I'd post the screenshot...but I'll just write out the conversation instead. This took place during a normal cow run with my blaze/tstorm sorc.

Moron was slain by Hell Bovine.
Moron: blaze damage?
Me: 253-271
Moron: why u use it it sux
Moron: use firewall
Me: lol
Me: you've just made my day
Me: tstorm and blaze
Moron: blaze
Me: i have no points in energy =)
Moron: lol
Moron: wow ur sorc sux ass
Moron: make a new one

:lol: :lol: :lol:

It always amuses me when people think you are a newbie when you don't need to use the most powerful stuff to survive. :lol:

Most of those I played with in my Blazer days were rather fascinated by the sorc... especially after I told them some numbers about it (Blaze has a far greater damage potential than firewall due to duration and length of flames)

That's the great irony of the whole thing, and easily (to me anyways) the most annoying use of the word "noob". When you're actually demonstrating that you're not a newbie, since you actually can play variants or just something other than cookie-cutter.

Blaze is the coolest sorcie spell, bar NONE :)

Sheesh, I thought "firewall" was the firewall used on some PC's to stop unwanted incoming and outgoing traffic. :)
