Hibby Lord room PBAE, just a thought

[Wicoa]

New albion keep tactic against hibbies.

Get into the keep kill all the guards and just sit inside killing the guard repop's, wait for loads of reinforcements.

Get out tiddly winks or a good book and see who gets bored first. Pbaoe'rs are awful in long or even medium ranged attack. But to be sure take them out first if they come down the stairs using bolts, archers and our fire wizies.

Storming the lord room doesnt work...... try forcing a boredom stand off. We'll live longer.

 

[VidX]

I'll just level an alt on my second PC or watch TV

And I can really annoy random casters with my pet just to make sure you are awake

 

[Wicoa]

Another thought..... don't actually take a hibbie defended keep. If they hide and a couple of people die getting to the lord room get them on their feet retreat and go take another outpost.

Please message me in game if you have an idea on tactics I am at a loss with the hibbies, soon even the middies will have pbaoe and I heard on rumourville the sm is gonna have the most powerful version.

If the lord room was more open with windows you could bow them from a distance but its not, even with hibbie 6 sec pbt it will be very hard to beat anyway, unless there are 4 or more archers on a macro....

Anyone know if we have any or a few up and coming ice wizards, we kind of need them, or are any wizies gonna respec to the ice line. Ahh well.

there are a total of 150 lvl 50 SMs in the entire world..... dont fear SMs

 

[Psy|:m00:]

Give it month Teador, every bugger in mid will have a Kobomb

 

[Wicoa]

^^^ Yepo, You guys have given the middies ample demonstration on how to use it efficiently now the hibbies will die too the more powerful version muahhh muahhh MUAHHH <an air of slight madness surrounds wicoa>

Haven't seen it in US, if there's only a total of 150 lvl 50 SMs on both US and EU

 

[VidX]

Nah, all the Trolls will still be charging around the keep looking to bash peoples heads in while the Hib zerg breaks down the door, leaving all the SM's in the lord room helpless

 

[VidX]

btw, I know how to combat the Hib pbaoe tactic if you are Albion, working on a way for Mid and then for Hib vs ALb and Mid.

 

[ignore]

Well better safe then sorry: whats easier? trying to get to the lord or just blocking hibernian access to emain?

Simplest thing to do is block their borderkeep
So Albion shall take the day shifts and Midgard can take the night shifts

Well have Alb-Middie bashing at tea time and lunch breaks...
Fried lurikeen will be available at the 5pm BBQ, and if they consider going to another realm...just put signs
with:"NO TREE HUGGING ALLOWED" at the hpk, and theyll go back bard speed to their lovely golf courses to hug some more trees

 

[j000 d000d]

So in other words......

NOONE HAS THE BALLS TO TRY ATTACK A HIB KEEP?

 

[ignore]

<whistles>
/em stealths and walks away very...very...quietly...


btw...check my sig my cute ice wizzie is gonna own u

I'm happy to stick and guard my local caster - but it does take a bit of re-organisation in RvR to put defensive tanks in with the casters. All too often groups just "happen" without any prior arrangement ... then when you arrive at the keep you're attacking there are too many other things going on to re-arrange groups.

Sticking and guarding isn't very interesting, of course, but it is something I can contribute to a siege - other than raising the dead and bashing the crap out of a door.

Oh - and a tip for bashing the 2nd door on a Hibbie defended keep --- that sound which is rather like using the gatekeeper? Its the PBAOE winding up: never ever ever go afk on the 2nd door or you will die. Listen for that sound and run back beyond the 1st door.

Hibernian keep defence

Talking about defending a keep, are pets bugged or did they made them so?
With this I mean if an archer type shoots at me and I do not have a target in my con meter the archers name appears into the con meter, my pet will automatically charge the archer (I am using DD pets in RvR) and he will shoot the archer even if he is in stealth and thus unstealthing him/her.
I dont know if this is a bug or not but it sure helps if you put your pet at "Stop" so it doesnt run outside the keep and then it just keeps fireing at the archer untill its out of range or its killed (or I am killed ) and if the archer comes back in range it will still shoot it.
I dont know how much dmg the Zealot pet does since I dont have it yet but the Companion doesnt do loads of dmg but it sure interrupts like hell and that way healers/casters cant shoot, Also if you put your pet too close to the edge it can be AoE'ed of course.

But to come back to the question: Is it a bug or not that enchanter pets shoot people out of stealth or not?
Else you could target a SB or Infil and he/she could never come close to the keep without destealthing.

Pets work like and are, in essence, mobs.

Once they have a target, they do not lose that target unless hit with a lullaby or the target or pet are killed. Zoning works as well.

Mythic have said that the pets need to work like this due to the fact that charm classes need to charm mobs to get pets, and therefore the mob acts the same as any other mob.

 

[old.linnet]

Find it hard to figure that there aren't a lot of upcoming suppression SMs on the US servers.

If you think the Hibs are bad now, imagine defending against Mids with AE stun and PBAE ...

nerf pbaoe

 

[old.Atrox]

I have a good tactic....
avoid defended hib keeps, w8 for GTAoE, then we will see how good pbaoe are with 20 gtaoe spammers....
( MoC only lasts for 15sec every 30min )

I hit the same problem - killed someone, ran off, stealthed and about 15 seconds later a spirit warrior whacks me in the back, long after everyone else has lost me as a target! I de-stealth and get ganked. Moral of the story, as soon as u see a stealther destealth and tonk someone, set your pet onto him and hes as good as dead.

 

[Danya]

I've survived having a pet on me withoput killing it a few times. One tactic is run away and relog.
Another I used once in collory was to run off and hide behind some aggro mobs. The pet wandered up and agged the mobs. Which promtly kicked it and it's owner silly.

 

[old.linnet]

I usually just confuse the pet and then leg it.


(I knew I left confuse on my hotbar for a reason)

[Gabrial]

Even so, is it right that these pets can track a stealthed character? I dont think so but then I have an infiltrator and no characters that can use pets

 

[VidX]

Yip, they can, read Andrilyn's last post and my reply to it.

No, I mean do people think that its right and fair that pets can do this?

 

[VidX]

Is it fair? No, I admit that.
Is it right? Yes. Refer to the post
