How is it to play your class in RVR !?!

[Treson]

Well i only play my bard in RvR, becaus my bm is well gimpish(sorry tali, alme, and the rest).

Anyways your group gathers and move out. And many times i get this request "mr.bard plz play your bard song" and this I usually comes from tyka. He never lets me doze off at work, sigh. I forget to play speed song becaus the chanter speed seems like my speed. I donno i gotta be a lazy git or something. But im so jused to travelling with speed that i forget the speed decrase

You get to Emain, your leading well becaus bards should lead in my opinion( you cant go afk)

Head up to Dakkons tower. Now this place is not my favorite spot to fight. I remember several times i cast and cast and nothing happens. You read on later when your dead.. "your target is not visable" "your out of range". Playing with 3rd person view on hills can get confusing sometimes

And not only that.. how about you see enemies.. you start mezzing(always try to save insta mezz for mids ) your done mezzing now the uber task is to get your end song going.. now this many occations has taken me the whole fight to acomplish or several mins!! Its so annoying, tanks hitting you/poisions/dots/stealthers/mezz/stun etc. All canceling your drum music! End regen is v.important becaus then your mages can run from tanks etc.. So when i dont get this regen going, i can always wait a warm welcome if we die

Now how about the mezzing process.. this usually goes for the castable mezz it self.. You chose a target in the crowd. And i always like to chose the mages, becaus i want atleast some of em mezzed first.. SO i start casting like i know it takes 2-3 secs. even though it feels like a year. And of ofc. the enemies see you casting and spread out and then I end up with mezzing 2 ppl which have utterly been smart running from the crowd. sigh now this is just bullox.. and on some evenings you find yourself lucky enough have 3 sitjuations like these and you get enough of their h4xx0rs skillz in running away from crowd !!

This is not really a problem anymore now though.. since i can start my castable mezz. and before it finishes chose another target and insta mezz there too yeah i know im uberish

Well anyways this is some of the funneh stuff that happens to me sometimes while going rvr.. just wanted to share this and hope i get similar responses

PS: yes i was bored at work..

Roll a zerker, its E-Z!



stick healer or skald in group, pan view around, see enemies, target bards/clerics/druids/anything clothy; charge, stick, unstyled once, then spam dfrost, and snowsquall/icy brilliance when they run

Frenzy if you feel like it, have purge/fa2/ip ready and continue ravaging, dont expect healers to heal, they are far to busy doing CC and other healer business

If you dont expect healers to heal, its easier to go: ahh, wonderful heals mate, if they do.
And not OMGFFSWTF?!!!! NO HEALS?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?

 

[Sortbane]

Arnor, you forgot the healers Celerity if they have some spare time from doing CC all the time

oh.. and Warriors in RvR, I actually love them (even prepatch 1.53). Join a group, find out who's the most suicidal RM and then guard intercept the RM, stick it and change to small shield ( I always have about 5 small shields with me for the DOT charges on the, great way to stop some pesky speeder getting away from me )

Main duty in rvr, protect the casters by all means and slam every tank around them.. if no tanks happen to attack them ( this is usually true for albs ) I can run around close to the casters and hit things oh.. and never forget to have endurance totems, those and IP/FA has saved me loads of times

Kinda like to have a well defined role in rvr and actually trying to do the job that I've set out for me.. And I actually think that zerkers have it more easy than warriors, run in and hit things

oh.. and how's it like? FUN

 

[Brevis]

Hitting an enemy grp, i stealth, take 5 secs to consider my target and then anything wearing cloth will have arrows in their heads...

Thats about what I do

 

[old.Wildfire]

lol @ bard moaning "its too hard"

omg thats so fucking true and well put...



ps: zerkers and champs roll is preety similar spam anihilation and instas instead of dfrost and frenzy ofc. And remember to rebuff j00 each 10 mins! (i so forget it everytime )

 

[Mundokar]

<puts RUNEMASTER HERE flag away (read staff)>

Waits for warriors to engage and starts rooting, blasting, nearsighting, bolting ....

Fun ... except when we encounter hibs (those wardens are SOOOO annoying)

 

[Kagato.]

Generally fun, but as someone mentioned above, never ever count on being healed in time, or at all in rvr as a tank lol, as 9 times out of 10 the clerics are running in opposit direction, trying to enhance enemy tanks cause they forgot to change the bloody quickbars back or triddling there thumbs cause they accidently used purged instead of MCL 10 minutes ago and are now mezzed TFF IP

Or whats even more annoying these days is when the 2 sides clash, you pick yourself out a nice tasty little caster target you know you can kill in 2 hits or less if lucky only to have your first hit pbt'd and then you get rooted by someone else just after breaking there mezz, so you have to sit there triddling your thumbs as the little shit runs away

 

[Khalen]

game stinks nuff said!

 

[old.Tzeentch]

He's just saying how rvr is for a bard :>

And he's right lol

How's it for your class?

think he wants you to describe it.

 

[fenikske]

cleric this may sound unbelievable but ... mostly fun
scince i joined FC RvR got a new meaning to me everyone knows his job and everyone expects that i know mine

ps kagato not all clerics all completely noobs you know but i must admit that their are still alot , mostly because alot respecced not so long ago and aren't aware of their new capabilities and for thar being mezzed thingie its the mincer and sorc bussiness to see that mezz is demezzed , at next patch it will be ours to i guess

 

[Apathy]

Jamella, don't you even START on that demezzing crap! I have told you and groups countless times to /send me if you are mezzed. I mean...you're mezzed! You have time!

Erm...sorcerers in RvR...you really don't want to know.

[old.Odysseus]

Goes something like this:

Im often leading a group, so unless we're jumped, I normally try and get off an initial root. If jumped, I will qc my mezz.

Either way, most of it is purged (if not outright resisted ), so I resort to the 2. option.

If I am close to the enemy, I start nuking whatever I feel like untill I die.

If I am far from the enemy, I often find myself single-rooting or taking out bards.

When Im not too agressive (never happens when Im driving the group), I survive most of the battles. When driving, I survive 10% as I am the first to be targetted nomatter how I do it.

I often find myself being primary CC in the group

So in short:
RvR is fun, and I love fighting fg vs fg.

why the aggresive post he wanted to know how other chars play grow up
i play a mentalist its quite good in rvr though i often get targetted alot luris are kinda hated normally ill wait for bard to mez then target tanks if theres loads of casters about ill throw a DOT on em stop em castin if someone comes to atack me ill throw in a stun lets me move away get a heal in maybe a nuke or 2 its hard as a caster often die alot but its great fun much more fun than a tank

 

[old.Tzeentch]

why would you throw a dot on a caster.. if you want to stop him casting, mezz him.

 

[old.chipper]

cos ment mez sucks as no one specs it if i throw i dot they gonna lose health and worry more about gettin health back than attackin someone

 

[old.Tzeentch]

only a newb mage would worry about that

dot lands on me, i just keep on casting lol.. its the healers job to heal, i'm only going to run, as a caster, from a barrage of nukes or tanks running to me.. but thats just my opinion

 

[Apathy]

Yep. If I get DoT'd, I say so in chat and carry on doing what I was doing. If I was nuking for some reason, I switch to lifetap. Simple.

Though DoTs on casters are a nice touch sometimes, especially with matter debuff.

[old.Icebreaker]

I do öh

Slam and

maybe some more slams

sometimes iam able to kill someone

/Sarcasm off


My Job is to protect the mages/healer etc with Guard, intercept, slam...nothing else

I hate leading a group cuz i can't concentrate me on the things i have to do

[Sharp Thing]

well, i love my chanter atm

when its a big fight i ussually stay in the back. stunning, debuff and some Dd's, gets most down, and if the opportunity calls for it i got in and pb a bit. theres nothing like seeing a troll go down right infront of you

when we are fighting at keeps i either wait till they are nocking on 2nd door to pb some, or if there is too much ae from the other side i wait till lord, hit moc, and spam pb or stand on the ledges and do my stun, debuff, DD combo

i also tend to use my non los pet wich is great when theres only one gtae inside a keep, just let him hit you once and sick the pet or use the same thing but then defending.

but, i often die waaay to fast, seeing theres always someone going for me (mids atleast ) and when a tank sticks on me, im either dead, or chase him away with moc+pb, but i still lvoe it

Hehe, well.. not that gimped

 

[old.Wildfire]

fs apathy just stfu and demezz already k?

 

[old.Wildfire]

1. Form group at APK
2. Buff
3. Run to AMG
4. Encounter enemy group(s) - if groups are hibs, go to 5. if groups are mids, go to 6.
5. If lucky, go to 7. If unlucky, go to 8.
6. Get instamezzed, instastunned, killed. /release and go to 1.
7. QC AE root, run, allow tanks to move in and other casters to start mezzing/nuking. Nuke any casters that you can see in range. A tank will charge sooner or later, at which point try and root again (sometimes you get lucky) then turn and sprint round in circles until someone clears you with a stun or the tank just turns away. Nuke aforementioned tank with impunity for daring to come anywhere near you. rinse & repeat. Go to 9.
8. Get instamezzed, caster stunned, debuffed, nuked, and/or "fondled" by wuren, laralyn and tankster, /release and go to 1.
9. Rest, get the group together, check tower, levians e.t.c. and head to breifine. Eventually die and go to 1.

 

[Hatt]

[StormriderX]

1. wait for years for a bard to show up at dl, when one does show up he is grouped/there to join a group
2. cry
3. finally get a bard after 30minutes
4. run to emain
5. charge alb fg/zerg looking for anyone wearing a dress and waving their arms.
6. kill a caster and get nuked/hit by all the albs in the immediate vicinity.
7. die and wait patiently for rez...if hibs lose go to step 8 if hibbys win go to step 9
8. /release - then go to step 1
9. wait for albs to form 10fg zerg at amg

 

[Apathy]

You forgot step 10.

10) Still beat the 10fg of Albs with two AoE nukers and a warden.

And Wildfire...I'd demezz you if you didn't simply quietly say that you are mezzed in general chat where I don't see it.

I mean, you SCREAM everything else! If you can /macro >>>>>>>>>MOVING OUT FOLLOW ME NOW!!!11<<<<<<<<< then you can /macro /send apathy Why my dear...for some reason I am unable to move or cast. Cast a remedy, old bean!
