Again, sorry for the length of time between posts.  I am trying to find a somewhat decent schedule to allow me to be able to do this more often.  So since CSS is pretty much the only game I have really been playing as of late, here are some skins that I like to use to make the game a little more interesting.

Lately I have put down Guildwars and have moved on to a on-line multi-player based First Person Shooter called Counter Strike Source.  Now I am sure that at least 80% of the world has heard of this game and at least 40% of it is addicted to it..haha jk.  But the jist of the game is to keep the terrorist for achieving their goal.  I mainly try to play both Counter-Terrorist and Terrorist equally as the servers I usually play on usually auto select what I am anyways.  I try to alway play teh CS_Office  map because I find it the most fun and it basically gives both teams a equal advantage against the other.

Normally if I am a Counter-Terrorist I use the Famas, Deagle, Scout, M4 and the M3.  If I am a Terrorist I usually go with Mac10, Deagle, M3, Scout and the Sig552.

Each gun is unique in its own.  Basically you have to learn how each guns recoil will affect the path of the bullets.  This has been my challenge the whole 3 years I have been playing this game.  I have learned to just accept that this game isn’t perfect and to not trust that every bullet will kill the person you are shooting at.  I’m sure some people will tell you that they unloaded a shotgun in someone’s face from 2ft away and some how they did only 20 dmg, while that person died.  That is just the nature of the beast with this game.  It really does take some practice and hand eye coordination with the cross-hairs and the mouse.  If you want to get more in depth on learning the guns of CS…just YouTube the gun and I am sure you will find loads of video on the guns recoil and spray patterns.

All of these skins are FREE and very easy to install, but don’t be surprised if there maybe one that gives you an issue.  My advice to any of you who want to do this..BACK UP YOUR CSTRIKE FOLDER before you make any changes!!!!

The only trouble I am having is thinking if I should really bring a 2nd pet skill or just let the pet do what it does, because if I bring my spirit spamming build I would bring Wanderlust for knockdown and then I could time my animal attacks with Beastial Mauling (Your animal companion attempts a Bestial Mauling that deals +5-20 damage. If the attack strikes a knocked-down foe, that foe is interrupted and Dazed for 4-10 seconds.), so if timed correctly I would get a knock down with added dmg from pet with added dazed on top of that.  So I could then add a 3rd pet spell, Scavenger Strike for extra energy added to help with the energy issue that might arise.

To make all this happen with my other build I would need 2 of my energy replenishing spells with a spirit and then my 3 ranger pet spells…now I could either bring some ashes for added bonuses and a res or add more channeling dmg.  The way I see it, AB battles I would bring more channeling dmg and PVE I would probably bring ashes and res.  Though I won’t get in game until Friday so a lot of this is just me thinking in my head until I can actually test this stuff out.  I figured I would give this a try since I was really only able to find 1 Ranger/Rit build that was meant for Tombs and all it did was really support other rangers so they could bring other spirits .

So if you have any ideas how I might be able to get some good performance out of a Rit/Ranger, leave me a comment.

I will be in game Friday testing…so hit me up in game: Felicity Leonhart
