Ae stun and hammers v ae mezz

[firehairlives]

Ok here we go, the battlefield is now open for this thread I as a noob know nothing about and posted it in the wrong forum lol =P

Just say you are in a small space. Say at amg. You are behind the walls and the albs are the other side of the wall. Now just suppose the Albs try to come through the gate. Maybe 12 of them.


1 Ae stunn = 10 seconds, there is a 4 seconds cast time to Ae hammers so thats 2 hammer spells and noone on our side has been touched yet. 1 more Ae stun = 5 seconds, that, with the time left from before = another 2 Ae hammers. This is from 1 thane. Imagine it from 10 thanes ... it would turn the doors into running the gauntlet for them.

Besides AE Hammers look sooooooooooooooooo good =P

And imagine the lag (/effects self would be essential )

The compination of real ae rooters/mezers and real ae casters would be alot more impressive though instead of Thanes

 

[Xero-X]

yea its a pretty strong combo , if u add in the RM's AE flamming spear attack , otherwise it doesnt do much damage

i dont think anyone has ever been hurt by the thanes AE hammer

 

[Tranquil-]

Hm, why aren't Thanes wacking them hammers on all milegates to reveal stealthers?

...

middies won't hit stone...something to do with lineage.

AE stun and AE damage spam (RM/Thane) is very effective, you just need to get organised. At least then mezzers could stop moaning about thanes

 

[firehairlives]

Some thanes do wack the gates. I as firehairlives in the last sucsessful relic raid by middies on alb (I remember it well) did so.

We were in a large grp comeing back with relic. The carriers had run off from us but we managed to meet up before we got to our gates. I sprinted to the front. Hit the gates with Mol ... a fg of stealthers was revealed!

LOL we kicked thier asses and ran home with the goodies.

Ae hammers on gates works well.

Good call there =)

As I keep saying. Timed multiple ae hammers/spears, then mezz, they ae then stun then ae twice.

Noone will survive.

And for people who say has anyone ever been hurt by hammers.. Well I've hit up to 20 people at a time for 60-180 damage every 4 seconds so yup ;-)

second ae stun = 0 seconds, the half duration thing is PvE only, in RvR after one stun you go onto a 1 minute immunity timer.

ROFL, the guy posted this even after I pointed out he was wrong? Least now we know why Thanes make such excellent RP

Were they greys?

I love those Hammers.

Give them 40hp dmg and they break mez for a whole group

 

[-Dreama-]

Geez, even as a caster I love the ae hammer...always gets me out of mezz and I can take 4 or 5 of em before I'm dead! Keep em comming guys!

"You can't do that you're mezmerised!"
"You are hit for 4 damage!"
/g I LOVE THANES!!

Runie flamespear does 200dmg; thane AE does <100 to me since i've been lvl45+

 

[poppamies]

ae hammers do 60-180 dmg every 4 sec on guys with 2000 hp.
hmm 12 sec at the most 540 dmg. hmm so he only haves 1500 hp left.
so u will need a 48 sec stunn to kill em. (at the best)
better to ae mezz and kill em 1 by 1.

 

[old.Trapp|Uberleech]

if done right they can be useful, but it's never done right, so forget about the hammers

/em remembers how we used to ae spindelhalla on my us server, 1 pacihealer 7 thanes killed everything, trows djupt odjurs cats etc, and trollkarl room was the ultimate place good old days

 

[Killgorde]

I think I can speak with some authority on the subject....

In the right situations (keep taking etc where the enemy is condensed) and working together 4 50ish thanes can cast up to around 20k damage combined on a crowd every 4 seconds. Thats an awesome amount of HP to recover from. I think my highest solo was 3 casts averaginging 6.5k. Working in conjunction with a couple of good ae stuns its adios muchachos in 8 seconds (3 casts) whether your name is Arnie or not.

However...the key is timing and all targetting the same enemy (so that the ae damage is replicated in the same area on the same enemies). These situations do not however arise very often although I do remember a 3 on 6 situation at Uppland once where Norvindus Oloren and myself took out the opposition's 3 casters before they realised they were dead by "simulcasting," and mopping up the other 3 afterwards. Effective Mjoll deployment requires teamwork and co-ordination, and can be devastating if used in the right situations. In the wrong situations it's a quick trip to the stable master at Huginfell.

Sounds like good fun too. One day like to try get group of Thanes together with a healer or 2 see what can really be done.


If any other 50 thanes fancy it lets get togther sometime.

I do actually find it quite hilarious how Middies bitch about Thanes' AE mezz-breaking ability. Especially from healers. Funny when the 3 top Thanes on Midgard (rp standings) are CE and at the same time we have 3 Healers in the top 10 of their class who we get along mighty fine with.

 

[Garnet]

IMHO thanes can be healers worst nightmares with those big hammers. grrrr the amount of times they mez break is sickening (cries) . But when used with a AE stun which mine is 9 secs which combines with another instant AE stun which is about 9 secs which is 18 sec stun. The spells are different types meaning the message he already has this effect wont come up, can do severe amounts of damage on enemies.

 

[BlueJam]

Thanes AE is way underpowered, especially as we are a 2 trick horse, we get a few damage spells and then we have to do the rest in melee. It should have been similar to the clerics smite.

 

[poppamies]

well this is not realy about tanes but, i got to say i love the armsmens pygme crossbows =)
got mezzed 4 times last night and every time i got free from the mezz thx to an armsman=)
ok he did do 10-40 dmg on me. didnt realy hurt since i had 1300hp =)

 

[Flimgoblin]

Healer stuns, five thanes AE - that'd be decent damage
or one or two runemasters

Thanes are Mythics way of balancing out the Midgard insta aoe mezz... Yeah you'll get turned into a dribbling drooling moron by the healer... but the thanes will break you out of it quick enough

 

[poppamies]

just an ide.
hmm if thanes w8 for 40 sec or so before using their hammers (thats when the healers start ae stunning) then they could kill the rest of the ppl standing there in 8 sec or so =)
wouldent that be even better ?
first ae mezz kill 6-7 of em.
then ae stunn, thanes use hammers at the sametime and kill the rest.
sounds great to me.
