ugh, this thread is still here.

dont take it personally i am not trying to flame but i hate these threads. it is your decision, why would people decide for you?

It's not like he's saying "you tell me what I should be." It's more along the lines of him collecting information of what it's like being both classes, and finding out their strengths and weaknesses so he can make an educated decision of what he'll enjoy more.

Just because I'm used to taking 300 damage from a V/Hoodoo as opposed to 1700 from a squid doesn't mean I suck at the game.

Don't blame it on the monsters. You have more than enough HP to survive there and this game is easy. If it really takes you 10+ deaths and two weeks to learn to keep your HP high, (Or actually, you never learned to do it, did you?) then yes -- you do suck at this game.

This doesn't happen with BM. SOA doesn't replace strafe in any way.

To clarify a bit on Joe's reaction, Hurricane does entirely replace Strafe in 99% of all situations. The only time I can think of to use it is to jump-shoot over an enemy's attack (Skelegon, Left Prelim HT head) or to jump-shoot over a gap. So it's very understandable that most BMs don't have it keyed. I only have it keyed because I have extra keys and nothing better to put there.
