Not necessarily. It only requires that we use correct reasoning.

The nightgaunt seems to be doing a better job at "killing" than the 'hunt' (whom as you say, is suppose to do the kill).
It killed Kushnak, duergar shaman with a 60+ dam fast enough not to make much of a difference for him to start "running". Demos in regular hits. Yeah ok.
we'll all be crowding in the past and under the sea. good idea.
Hrm usually the gaunt trips you to death as well. Not that it hardly makes a difference.

Ok. We'll be running. Starting.... NOW!!
Really? You sure it's fixed? I happen to know for a fact it happened within this week.

Uh huh.

Uh huh. Maybe evil conjurers gets eviler devils and good conjurers gets better archons. In the mean time, neutrals are much better off having the choice in between.
Looks like you did a good job. Congratulations

This only works if you have correct information. With that in mind, let us continue.
This is arguable, but I'll play along. The purpose of the nightgaunt is to capture prey and deliver them to the conjurer. They must be conjured, protected against, and bound. It can only happen at night. The purpose of the Hunt is to kill your prey, who cannot escape it by magical means, also keeping you near the caller.

There are several places nightgaunts cannot go for prey, but I suppose you said that. There are several places nightgaunts will not take prey as well.
If you have been reading the logs on this board, you know that was fixed (they now have arms and legs). Not that assassin moves make any difference to the other classes. Tripping it to death is hardly going to help.
True. Though you can run for short periods.

That hasn't been true for quite a while (you paying attention at all?). That was a bug that was fixed a week or two ago.

I thought you were going use logic. You've obviously never seen this spell used before or you'd laugh at yourself for this obviously ignorant statement.
It was one of the clair buddies. Whichever one I forgot.
You really couldn't be any more full of shit than this statement right here. Really. I'm not kidding.

Yeah, that's our goal. We were hoping to make them (1) destroy everything in their path without opposition, (2) have no need for RP, so let's just keep them neutral (because we all know neutrals don't RP), and (3) make all the Matraien's of the game happy by giving them this class.

Done.
Uh huh.
