Can someone explain to me what happens....

[Danya]

I know this, I was explaining to the poor deluded scouts who thought they could gank solo SBs.

Im making a shadowblade on PvP, infils suck

 

[illu]

I can't wait to creep up to my first victim and whack him with a Perforate Artery (I hope I land it - I suppose I'll need some poison on my axe too) or hang on, perhaps I need a stun kind of poison first?

Then the follow up style Creeping Death is also a stun, so would I have time to whack some high class poison on my axe and then hack and whack away with garottes and leapers (?) for every time I evade?

Is there a webby somewhere that lists effective opening attacks for an SB?

Man - I need to fake an illness or something and get some time off work to lvl up my SB

Oli - ILLU

PS I can't remember who it was at Odin's a few weeks ago, but an Alb Stealther was waving at me, and that is certainly not a nice feeling when you can't see them I suppose it was a fair warning and a gentlemanly act - I just legged it - hehe.

Lately I have found that the SB's and NS's dont attack me solo.
They find me, run off to find a skald or dr00d or whatever, then find me again (not very hard with SH), and only then do they gank me.

Think it has something to do with my Ignore Pain and buffbot.

Old thread but did a search with my character name for fun and found some interesting posts I decided to comment a bit.

Odysseus, what comes to me finding you (or a fellow scout) and coming back with a skald - yes, I've done that and probably will do in the future if I'm grouped. However it's not because I am afraid of attacking you or any other scout solo but when playing in a group which I sometimes do I always tend to lose other members if I go after a scout stealthed, especially because even IF I happen to win it takes long to first reach you and the fight wont be over in a second or 2 either. And no, I dont mean I own scouts so bad, I've got my arse kicked by scouts before and no doubt it will happen every now and then. All you need is slam and shoot, at least unbuffed which usually is the case, I lose if I dont have purge available not to even mention the situation when a scout has TS active.

I still never hesitate to attack a scout solo even if I'm unbuffed and I know the scout has a buffbot. If or better say when I lose I type /release and come back or have a break, whats the big deal? Someone may have noticed I die a lot, it may be because I suck or because I'm a noob or because I never tend to play too safe ... sometimes I even notice myself I screwed up big time and thus died simply because of my own mistake. Also I cant usually resist to attack the classes who usually do kill me (for example BMs and mercenaries), had pretty cool fights with Talivar, Stone and a few others .. sure I died but thats how it's supposed to be imo.

Different thing is if we SBs (or shadownoobs as some of you call) are "allowed" to group - I don't care, I've been often grouped with my RL friend Horsma for example. Granted, SB and skald team is a bit too effective versus solo scouts for example, but you just have to face it, you can't solo so well atm (and I do really feel sorry for you, it's been long way leveling a scout). I've been thinking of getting rid of my see hidden but how I'm gonna then find the scout/minstrel/ranger who is killing my very gray tailor kobie on his material supply runs to mjollner faste And unless mythic/goa tells it's forbidden I will be grouping with my friends time by time - not because of RPs or easy scout kills but because of the company. Still, most of the time I'm soloing and tbh I dont find the SB groups really fun, what I'm looking for are the nice 1vs1 fights. There are usually so many SBs around in emain that it may seem we are grouping..personally I'm very seldom in SB groups, if I group its usually a non-stealther group.

Phew, was gonna type just a couple of lines..erhm. Doubt anyone bothered to read that all, anyway nothing important:sleeping:

I can live with IP but buffbot... well...

Tbh u REALLY think that an unbuffed (most of us) assasin will try to nail an uber buffed stealther, being archer or mincer (Alpha) or assasin. A slam + 2 shoots (not Crit Shoots) = 150+500+500 = 1200 (counting that one shoot is more than 500) roughly if u r uber buffed, that´s more than my max hp, far more (capped con I´d have 1200ish without any aug.con and toughness), now tell me HOW on the earth would I try to SUICIDE on u?

Play fair dude.

Noche it dont matter much that they are buffed i managed to kill Aussie without him even hitting me + he had 3 friends, still got away /end of brag.

Oh and SB > infil if the SB has decent LA specc.
