The chat filter in this game seems to work like this.

It checks inbound and outbound to filter the words.

I went ahead and uploaded a modified chat filter so we can say words.

That's really not very interesting :( For a spergy guild leader who's no Shakespeare, he's being fairly reasonable about it really, I mean you're doing most of the talking. If he hates one of our officers (who is right now organizing an invasion to Zhou's base), why not just let him have a grudge against us. What other reason do you need :confused:

vv Thought cronies counted as officers, I can't keep up with this poo poo :sigh:

Cronies are errand boys for officers. They have no ability to do anything and the only person who can change their guild position is the officer in charge of them.

Unless that officer in charge of the crony breaks under high stress and madness. Then the Guild leader can remove that officer and the crony will be freed. A task that I could succeed in clearing over the weekend in my spare time. Like throwing darts or eating a apple. I am a man of whims. Call me many things boss but after this week you are blinking red.

Not a cute boy, just a boring girl.
The 5V description in the OP needs some reworking I think, so I wrote a few words. The class doesn't really have a lot of options to "keep you at range". There's a few knockbacks that put people out of the shortest melee attacks for a bit, but those are 30 second cooldowns. Also "damage over time" is a little deceptive since the over time damage is largely in ground effects as opposed to the typical target-effect dots. You can set people on fire or poison them, but the bulk of the damage is still in the ground effect. 5V plays a lot more like a PBAE class than a typical DoT class with regards to damage.

In open world large group pvp you don't need to figure people out. You're a suicide dive bomber. No one is going to be doing all the things they need to do to stop you. You just need to find a high enough nearby place to airdash off of so no one can hit you dropping fields in midair and you're golden.

Here's a potential replacement for the op:

In PvE Five Venoms have many tools to take down groups of 5 regular enemies (the most common layout) with one skill, though they each can take a few seconds to finish. Starting with the second set you get a relatively short cooldown spin that can regularly finish off a group of 5 if you line it up right, but with the third set you can take down chains of regular groups of 5 with few issues. For bosses you have amazing CC ability, probably even the best overall. Best of all, unlike some other classes which need to knock things around or too high for others to hit to do their CC and thus cause group members to miss, the 5V fields don't move mobs at all. The cherry on top is that the school also gets a solid group heal, though it is very chi hungry and has a long cooldown.

In 1v1 PvP you don't have any great combos as solid as some of the other classes, but if you can get a good chain in you can really hurt in a way that other classes have a hard time matching. There's lots of timing involved with fiddly positioning. You also get no counters, so you are more susceptible to "counts as a grab" than most classes, although in exchange you get what is arguably the best and longest range "counts as a grab" move in the game with Silver Thread aka Nut Stomp. Still very workable in 1v1 PvP, but can be very frustrating at times.

In smaller group pvp people will have a hard time doing the things they need to do to stop your control. Other than that it is a lot like 1v1. In guild wars and such if you can double jump airdash off a high enough building, you can rain most of your area effects from the air with impunity before falling and dropping the knockdown field before dying (and maybe taking several of them with you). This is a great way to break apart a defensive blob as a large, webby, flaming field of skill disable+root+freeze in the middle of their blob without any reliable way to stop it from happening will ruin any guild warrior's day.

The first set is terrible for leveling because there is no real area damage and low single target damage so 5V starts really slow. Things really pick up when you get the whip-centric second set at 20, and takes off with the field and poison focused third set at 40. The school feels like a specialist/support type strategically played class, but it can also really bring the hurt if you take the time to setup and/or take advantage of the circumstances for it. Enemy positioning is a critical concern for any 5V to be aware of for multiple reasons due to their point blank area focus.

Also the whip sound effects are cool.

Pick 5V if you want to:
Have the best control in pve of any class by a good margin, and arguably in pvp as well.
Have a solid group heal.
Be a kamikaze dive bomber in large group pvp that locks down a dozen people at once.
Nut stomp people in 1v1 pvp.

Yeah and we should probably only just put in that harmony are assassins rather than the useful gameplay information that is there. It might actually be nice for newbies to have useful descriptions of what all the schools' capabilities are so they don't burn out on a class they end up not wanting to play. It doesn't help that the current op description for 5v is kind of erroneous or misleading either.

Maybe I'll put some more effort into making that a bit shorter later. Right now I have vermin to kill.
