decoy.jpg


As you can tell I got Decoy last night, and have to say what a buggy ability!

It's very very prone to summon class/race combinations that you would NEVER see out in rvr, particulaly avalonian paladins. Also it tends to mix up classes quite a bit.
Best ones so far:
- Armsman epic, dual wielding a whip and polearm!
- Sorc epic, whip and large shield
- Sorc epic, 2-H sword

Also as you can see from this screenie, I often get decoys called "in use"!

Oh well, only 2 more MLs until I get something useful.

decoy is supposed to show as member of the enemy realm, when the enemy targets it.

Or it would be kinda useless. :)

Nope, then it would be ok, it shows: aggressive ...
and you can see just from the text its not a player.

doubt it, most stealthers check the name of their target and if they see it has no name and is aggressive......well.........

ofc it could maybe work on those who dont know that ability exists, and although its not displaying a name, they attack anyway cuz they think its a bug (thats how it works in this game, if people cant explain it its probably just another bug, go go mythic :rolleyes: )


but ofc a stealtherzerg could make a entire decoyarmy just on the bottom of a keep or on a milegate to scare the shit out of anyone that gets in clipping distance :rolleyes:

The decouy is kinda useless.. the only thing that can fool is a person that has just bought an account with some 50s :p

They show with Yellow, not red typing above theyr head for enemys, and when you clik them, the Realm Title show in the "Target Box" aswell, not just Briton etc :)

Hehehehe, saw Durgi playing around with this abit when he got it. And got a hell of a laugh, when a guildy of mine walked into The halls of heroes where durgi had put up his decoy's. All the decoys died. And my guild mate said wtf, i just walked in here and the guards died. :)
