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.
