View Full Version : Is necro that much better?

To nicoxxx of the Syrtians:

As I made my way along the South Bay beach after much boredom looking for a green who would stay and fight, my heart leapt when I found you, a worthy opponent. Unfortunately, you must have pressed the wrong button and somehow ended up above your neck in the warm southern ocean waters.

I continued along my path only to several minutes later find you yet again on the same beach. However, this time when you swam with the fishes I realized it might not have been by accident.

Now, I tend to avoid save camping at all costs and rarely venture within 200 meters of one; however, when at the extent of my view distance I can see the water-logged elf who refuses to battle with me I just cannot help myself.

Was that truly worth not giving up the few RPs which my axe would have so carefully extracted from you?

Ok, so I am a few levels above you and you are a defensive class versus my offensive class. Your friends were only meters away! Turn and run to get their help... Before you know it, you will be getting RP for assisting them in my demise.

Yes, you may simply dive in the ocean if that is your style of PvP. But, considering the spirit of the game, considering the humiliation of repeatedly drowning oneself, and considering the effort required to recover
from the compounded necro, couldn't you have at least tried to run for help?

Then maybe you would have been in the party with A O I and his buddies whom were in the end dancing on my dead body...

Victory is the sweetest, yet defeat is ever so much sweeter than surrender...

I drown myself. But that's when I'm being save camped and have been killed multiple times.

They don't wanna be honourable, I won't be honourable. It's especially amusing if they're all warriors where you cast a spell to get rid of ress dizzy and then drown.

Yes, if you don't run away from a fight you probably gonna loose, but keep fighting amazing things will happen.

If you're a hunter, there is quite a large change that you'll escape. So if you're going to die anyway, try to escape, if you play smart, it could work.
Drowning is just a very pathetic way to escape, and also less smart, since there aren't any downsides to giving RP at the moment, but necro has to be trained off.

Yes, good battles. Thanks to the mobs for giving me the upper hand on the first one. I am still figuring out how to properly handle warlocks 1v1.

thats real easy just keep the warlock dizzy... Yes my warlock is the right lvl for terror but i rather use master of doom with my set up i have more skills to defend myself with terror i dont have that much dizzy skills or skills to keep a warrior away from me i might sound dumb but my lock is only lvl 42 and yes i would like to have training skills and yet get to kill the campers that go to meni save all the time :horsey:

Yea I remember one time I was in a huge group hunt, like 6 syrtians jumped in the water at once.... funny, yet sad

yet funny, but its also annoying because the problem is fixed for archers and mages, they hit someone and even when they drown they get RP ( if im not mistaken) but what are we warriors to do?

Spiritual blow can do the job, but the range is limited and with the casting time you almost have to already be close enough for melee.

Gives challenge rp? That could do the job for knights, since it's range 25.

Because you cast it on lvl 1?

Lvl 1 = 100 points of dmg.

I knocked a mob in the water down with a non damaging spell. It stood back up again then began running in circles. When a mob which respawned in the water moves, it drowns, otherwise it doesn't. I still got xp with it.

I agree that feint doesn't always give RP and seems random. Sometimes it does soemtimes it doesn't...

EDIT: sorry for the OT

AFAIK, the friendly points system is broken atm.
I saw that reported in several other threads.

Yes but only those lines:

O sinners let's go down,
Let's go down, come on down,
O sinners let's go down,
Down in the river to pray.
