Lvl'ing w/out conj. for Hunters/Marksman

Nodalor · 11-03-2007, 03:34 AM

I found a very good leveling strategy for marksmen or hunters that are within two levels of each other(might work for mage but I don't know cause of range) when I was leveling today

. If you are with another person, make a triangle with your friend and the mob. Have your friend attack first, and then follow. The mob will run back and forth in between you, and if you run back a little bit as you shoot, it will run back and forth like a monkey(or in my case, an aquantis) in the middle, not sure of which to hit until it dies. I can repeatedly do it without getting any damage at all if it's done right. This is a very useful method of grinding when you don't have a conjuror around.

Is this common knowledge? I don't know, so I figured I might as well post it.

P.S. Is this a bug or just a cool strategy? Cause if it's a bug I don't wanna be exploiting it.

Not a bug, and is a common lvling technique with 2 or 3 archers (and no pets)

Also, this technique is most efficient if both/all archers use the same weapon speed.

I've managed to do this with my conju and ranged summons and I've seen hunters do this with ranged pets.

Yes that is common to play "ping pong" with non-ranged mobs and is just the way mob AI works.

Yeah, it's a common tactic. Sorry man :P

u cant do this with mobs between lvl 1 and 15, because they have another IA, soon all the mobs will have the new one, and this technique will not work

I hope they don't go on with this STUPID AI. NDG if you read me, please hear: the new AI is incredibly bad and lame, I leveled two chars since it was on 1-15 mobs and most new players hate it (whether they played before or not). It's just bad

(and I'm not talking about the "tank with your pet" or not bit, because you still can do it, I'm talking about the "run everywhere" bit). Exping is already a pain and holds no interest whatsoever except discovering the game and having a PvP-ready char, it's already long enough imho, this will only make it worse.
