Learning to play Shadowblade

Today was my first day in RvR since I got to level 50. Was on keep take thingy in Hibieland yesterday after I got level but still :)

Thanks to all people who I fought with, didn't get many fights even though I was going around for few hours but they were even better for that :)

Started nicely when I ported to Hadrian's and found a scout near our BK. You can blame Bubble the sorcerer because I had ran visible past you but then I saw Bubble going MPK behind me and ran back stealthed, didn't find Bubble but found scout and got him :)
He was my first solo victory at level 50, too bad he wasn't 50 though.

Was having some fun with Nikolas the Ranger playing hide and seek in Odin's, too bad I didn't find you again until someone got you. Next time :)

Afterwards I almost got:
Coglen - Nice fight, I'm gonna get you yet and yeah, I'm gonna do some training on that PA :)
Urughai - Nice fight also, never fought Warden before with my Shadowblade and I /released being much wiser :)
Jamiesmallicus - Well, wasn't really even close, but I had to try :)
Unknown Armsman - Crafting inside Beno just before logging, I just had to try someone so Highlander Guardian looked promising. Got nice crit hit too but didn't work :)


See you (don't see me) :)

Edit: hehe got bit carried away with smileys over there but they're as good punctuation as any :)

I remember my days as a shadowblade..Great fun made some very stupid blunders in RvR that made me laugh when I became more experianced..like trying to bash to death a paladin with no opening style was a big mistake best avoided. :D

SB been gimped now..but the good SB's still present a more than a challenge to most classes..hope you have fun and see you on the battlefield!

I'm glad to read these kinda threads.
Most enjoyable moments playing assassin are:

rr-rr2. The first fights and exciting new world that opens beneath you.
rr5-rr7. rr5 gets you to lvl51 and unlocks 16.5dps weapons and you have solid Ra's.

Please have a fight with me before you get rr12 :p

Was ages ago i had a "fair" fight against a SB.
(fair as in solo and not rr12+)

Smilies as punctation... well, sure :m00:

rr12, eh ? Might take while to get there :)

I've been hunting in Hadrian's and Odin's for now, you can try looking for me there.
Remember to come without buffies if you want fair fight :)

First when I got to 48 and started to RvR, I was dreaming about getting maybe even rr5 before I go get 50. I've spent quite some time in RvR already at 48 and especially 49, but I couldn't solo very well before 50 so I went and got it. In the end, I was rr3l8 when I got to 50 so I already had few RA's to start my real career with :)

I think that I'm gonna go few weeks mostly solo to get better at it, besides from keep takes and other stuff like that, and perhaps sometimes duo with Mortymer. After all, I made this so we could have guild stealther team finally :)

Totally agree on first part. Need to level my RR b4 saying something about second part :)

Yeah, I was already metaphorically fetching champagne over there.. Think you switched to two weapons after I evaded those three first ? That probably got me.. along with unlucky evades from you.
I think if I had had poison instead of snare on my weapon, that might had been enough to do the job too :)

Been running into you alot, in unexpected places (remember the time I was teasing you hibies at Surs? :)).

I'll get you yet :)

DF is great for low RR SB's. But if you see DF go to Alb try to get to alb side really fast or wait half an hour cause the 30 infs logging in are hard to get passed :D

aye and a good tip for lower level/rr sbs that have trouble, catch a ride across df with a group. You don't need to be grouped with them, just keep up with them. Maybe ask them if they mind first too :)

I didnt switch out weapons, but once I got db-hammy-hammy off I was on track, your 2hander gave me enough time to get reactionaries off with GR.... :)

And yes I do remember you at surs, alemain had just been saying that rock was a popular spot for volleyers so I wandered down, had pretty much given up all hope of findin you by then :p

Hehe yeah Alemain is the other hibby stealther I keep running into for some reason, also with my other characters :)

Haven't seen him for while now though :(

rr12 = very high rr opponent.

Feels like everyone got /level 20 and /realmrank 4 theese days :)
Hardly ever see anyone < rr4 anymore, but then again, i dont rvr very much.

[Edit] BTW, Belorfyn, the only buffs i got is selfbuff and a weaponproc (+75 dex/qui) [/Edit]

Well, sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. Or based on my recent experiences "sometimes you lose and sometimes you manage to get away" might be more truthful :)

Tried to look for the Scout after some other middies got you but couldn't find him, looked long. Then I went to Beno to see if there was any evil buffbots parked there but got uncovered by lord :)

Well, now that I've seen you, I can answer your question also. As with all buffed opponents, I don't want to fight you. I will fight you of course if I meet you somewhere but I hope we won't meet often and you'll stay in Emain or such, buffing your way to next realm rank.

Can't complain about our 2nd fight today though. We were two and if that was your bot with you, kinda 2v2 in that case.

Very briefly. Had a mighty level 6 paladin I think ;)

Then found out everyone I knew from mid-prydwen was on hib-excal. Hib was kind of a side project for me, maybe when I'm really bored of mid I'll go there more.
