Many tactics have changed due to the new updates.

LOL - barbarian hiding behind a tree to kill and archer/mage or prevent his death is commical. - It is impossible to kill a barb with a hunter 1vs1 if they use this tactic well.

You mean the non-facing bug when people hug trees?

No... I fought a barbarian near pb and he ran behind the tree and sat down...
He would get up and move to avoid me while letting his skills and mana recharge... Then once he had full life, he would rush me attack but always stay close enough to retreat into the trees.

Our battle lasted more than 5 mins... and only ended once another ignis hunter came and pinned him down.

I noticed something else with ranged attacks from this battle, the closer we are the faster we shoot... the further away we are the slower we shoot. The server favors battles between players that fight face to face.

The barbarian could escape my attacks by moving behind the tree because it takes so long now at range to actually attack. No bugs were used by him in our battle.

What are your favorite combat tactics?

Can't you just run around the tree and shoot the guy?

nope... if I got in range for him to rush me.. he would and deal 1000 damage to me... I only hit him 200 damage, and since I don't use pets and all my skills have uber casting time now, I stand little chance face to face.
He was right next to the tree and closer giving him the ability to stay on one side of the tree out of sight from me before I could let an attack off in his direction. Strafe and sidestep ftw!

DkySven · 12-26-2009, 11:37 PM

In that case I would run around the tree with some distance away from it. You did see him run behind it, right?

Since he was closer to the tree, he always got to the other side faster.... and before my basic shot or skills could be cast..

To move in a circle, objects on the outside must move much faster than objects on the inside. Basic physics.

Of course, the barbarian has to have (a) awfully good reaction times, (b) a connection direct into the citynetwork.se server room.

Sorry, I've tried this around rocks and it just doesn't work for me. The hunter has moved 300ms before I notice, and that's all that matters now.

I've found out a really deadly way to deal with pretty much any class. I can't believe I'm saying this but..

The best way to kill someone is -

Use normal hits and attack spells to lower their health, so they die!

Secrets unleashed!
