We're gonna burn you~
((No one will probably get that reference but it's from my favorite comedian, Wil Anderson, where he's talking about how 100 years agio everything was so different and if a women stood up in public and spoke about women's right, everyone would have called her a witch and be like, "We're gonna burn you~!"))
Deletion sounds harsh to some. I understand that, but deletion is absolutely necessary. The mods and site owners have a right to enforce a level of quality control. Bad builds have a way of attracting attention. Ever see a build with 50 comments, 2000 views and 5 likes? We are literally like moths to a flame when it comes to bad builds.
As fun as it is to read, comment on, and silently laugh at terrible builds ( its your guilty pleasure so fess up), it takes valuable attention away from quality work. People who take 2-3 months to playtest, write up, and piece together a character build do not deserve to have their work buried by the works of people who've seemingly gone out of their way to disobey the CB group rules.
This is the first deathmatch i have seen (well noticed anyway) but i think its a great idea, these were just posted onto deathmatch less than 24hrs ago and some of these builds recieved more than 10likes since, 3 or 4 of them are no longer in the bloodworks and it looks like two more will hit 20 likes before this is said and done, only problem i can see with the deathmatch is the fact that it will be inevitable to have to purge the recognized category every so often.
I agree, both of the builds I have posted are theoretical builds I have meant to tinker with, yet have not gotten around to doing so. Between schooling, tabletop gaming (which I end up designing for moreso than actually playing), and family stuff I rarely find the motivation to go through and playtest my own builds.
Currently I have 2 on this site. 1 is an unorthodox life-leeching tank that relies on cannibalism and Absorb Health enchantments, and the other is a monk spellblade I created with different paths, so in theory you could make several characters following the build & going through the various paths to mimic psionics.
Somewhere lying around my house on paper I have skeletons of builds for a Cleric with Multiple Personality Disorder, each of the personalities with different ability/skill sets; a Protoss Templar with 3 "forms" (nightblade/mage/spellblade tank) with drastically different playstyles in each form; a Dwemer-mancer; a reincarnation of Nightmare from Soul Caliber using Volendrung as Soul Edge; an Illithid build that consists of a mage with almost entirely battlefield controlling shenanigans, anti-magic shenanigans, and brain consumption; a Dragon Shaman from D&D which is essentially a spellblade monk; and an Avenger from D&D which is an assassin for their deity(s) that is an unarmored spellblade as opposed to being a nightblade or flat out assassin, & mechanic-wise looks like an anti-boss build.
The dominatrix just needs a little TLC. Sure is fairly bland and basic even for a bloodworks, but I can't help but keep hope as it reminds me of my crazy ex. Or maybe it's just the name that reminds me? Eh, besides the point, I personally believe that if it goes under some revisions it has real potential, maybe not get legendary but at least a rank higher. XD
