I believe it is impossible.
Maulers without IP seem do-able, but with it = /rel.

Or maybe it's just the hib 6 relic situation.

If any assassin has tips how to kill Maulers with IP - feel free to post :>

Or is this another class to add to the "don't even bother" list?

They are killable by some melee classes.

If they wouldn't have access to snare themself and a possibility to regenerate health by using potions/hots/CL heals and if this would be a cluster without punks adding on long fights one could prolly PA and disease/snare and run off and come back short time after to redo it.

Chances are they will get nerfed and chances are that Assassins will gain access to IP and some kind of defence penetration (see last Infi TL report feedback).

1.87 will have the evade penalty vs dual wield removed, but I guess Maulers will benefit from that too.

I usually try to take on a Mauler with my Infi but sometimes I run off when the Mauler is diseased and stealth and don't bother to attack again. Problem is that the smarter ones blow IP when I'm really low on health and can't run off.

I've heard Haxen diseases them and kites them and never lost to one on his Tic :O. I've got to try this, but didn't have the chance yet.

Crit spec inf finds it hard to land CD if oh weap doesnt land during PA taking out bladeturn, if that stun lands I will generally win if it doesnt due to bladeturn i is dead. Disease + enerv poisen is the the key to maulers. If they purge it then immediatly re-apply, if you allow then to effectivly HoT u will die.

disease doesnt affect hot or ip.
it only stops natural regen and their regen buff spell.

Jumped a RR4 mauler last night on my lowbie rr3 inf, PA + CD + SS then he popped his shit and won on 100%. :(
I avoid attacking maulers at all times cause frankly it's not going to be a fair fight even tho its 1vs1. :p

It took a month but now i'm finaly seeing maulers ubberness.

I'm having a hard time killing them on any of my chars. merc, arms, reaver etc,
I would rather fight a purp mob unbuffed than a mauler... much easier.


They need kicking with the nerf boot.

Surely, and this is same with all fotm reroller classes, 95% are useless and this compensates for em being OP?

when i was playing on US server the rule was if you see a maular leave him alone , in the end all you saw was cows standing around with noone to fight , nowdays on there if you play maular make a human one that way you might just get a fight if you are lucky ...

My diseasing have nothing to do with his healing, it's helping me kiting to self heal myself (added with my insta snare). :p

I've fought and won (and lost) to a RR5 + IP2 mauler few times. In open terrain, i havn't lost. On bridges/water fights, i havn't won. He's (Gorathkill) the only one that have defeted me tho.
But someone said in a previous post. Most maulers, or players who play a mauler, isn't that good players (aka Warlocks). A good player on a good mauler, will be close to unkillable.

no different to any other visual class. If you cant handle them on a visual you are sucking.

Why dont you show us a SS or a video of you on a visual killing a IP2 Mauler? i highly doubt you got one.

Yeah yeah Censi :>

Well I tried a variety of tactics and I got close once out of about 4 or 5 times (Elcamoo probably went up a few RR :> - hope you enjoyed the RP!).
I think everything has to go your way to win, literally any mistake and you are toast.

I've played my little mauler baldbritneyillu a little and went staff spec, but am considering going fist wraps as they seem to do a lot more damage.
What snare type spells or styles have Maulers got access to? I know they have a root or 2, but not sure on actual snares.

only thing i can imagine is if you land whole PA chain with heat leggy that procs first hit, you battler debuff and then mezz poison, FA2 abuse and start hitting again, other than that, i dont see how :p

whats the difference between a mauler...

And VW rooting and LTing

or warden?

or Valk

or a champ rr5

or armsman rr5 with DS spam

etc

visual melee toons have a variety of real tough shit in daoc.

mauler is just another tough toon. I can understand sneaks "marking" something as "do not fuck with" but if visual solo exponents are thinking the same thing, im thinking its more them suxing.

im usually right.
