Strafers

[Leel]

Let's /face it (pun intended), bm's will do anything to get their overpowered side chain in. Looking forward to trying it myself sometime soon, artis are almost leveled.

 

[ian_heaps]

I ain't such a cock knocker now

 

[Ame]

Gonna stop teh whine now - i sound like an alb.

 

[Takitothemacs]

can someone list this guys hib characters so i can grief him as much as possible

Could be Amedor?

Depends what you mean by fair, in the duel compititions in albion all abilities your characters had (like charges etc) were allowed while anything from the outside (buffs) weren't.


Strafing in a duel is just low. If you wanted to win you would have used what abilities you have up.

Well 'duels' are mostly based on the fact that it might evolve in an interesting fight. A RR6-merc with a 9 sec stun from parry, a 'you now fumble fuckloads and i hit just fine'-button an a fucking uber frontal-positional.

Is the fight really entertaining when enemy cant hit back during Dirty Tricks and most likely will be stunned for 9 secs due to Hypnotic Darkness? Or when merc can just use a 0.86 GR as anytime but BM only 0.59 ? Or 10% relics difference? Or chain vs. reinforced/studded?

If you consider Dirty Tricks fine in a duel, fine with me. But its only available to the merc in this duel, where strafing is to everyone. Why whine about Ice-storm when u use Dirty Tricks in the first place is totally beyond me.

Strafing to land a side style in a duel in very low, end of story, BM's have there own OMGINSTAWIN too, Triple Wield is pretty handy, blade barrier is like engage etc, also a free oppitunity to land the Parry chain Stun(9 sec stun right?) a BM would eat a zerker etc.

 

[Roadie]

Why would you wanna be a Emerald Rider? What does that mean, you shag trees?

you shag rocks? (trolls beware?)

 

[Voltage]

that guy reminds me of thugs :S

Dirty Tricks > Tripple wield and Blade Barrier > Dirty Tricks. Merc has option to negate TW, and RR5+ BM has option to negate Dirty Tricks.

Blademasters dont have a 9 sec stun after parry unless they spec blunt - which is anyhow a guaranteed loss against a Mercenary worth its salt.

Strafing is probably lame as mercs then might miss Dual Shadows, on the other hand Dirty Tricks is probably alot more lame then Side-stun.

I dont see much problems with strafing - as its available to every realm and every class.

If you dont strafe as BM in BM vs. Merc the Merc has everything better: Better armour, better relics, better 'anytime' and a better chance to land stun (Hypnotic Darkness - 7 sec stun, I thought it was 9 but oh well). Crush merc even has anytime stun - thats all balanced but a BM making his stun 'anytime' is focking lame ?

Oh well enough QQ I guess we wont agree on the case - strafing in melee-fights is atleast some skill involved (as u need to time it right to avoid the 'You're strafing in combat and miss') in playing your class to the maximum where Battler/use2, Dirty Tricks and smack the Dualshadows around is just mindless buttonsmashing in my eyes

Love it when people say that, shows their true inteligence. Not that it wasn't already known.

Strafe like whore means "skills" as long as in this occation "we" defend a hib mate. Maybe we can rename bugabuse skill some time or even cheats!!. Ofc as long as we defend a hib !! oh wait ... we have done that already.

r u an alb_robot?

 

[old.windforce]

i am glad Ame plays Prydwen now :>

 

[Luz]

I also fail to see how strafe, ie. moving around which ALL classes ALL realms can do, can be considered lame/cheat etc???

erh you just want both to /face and standing still pushing buttons in a certain order? And that would be skills ? How?

Both can strafe, back away, turn, run thru, sit, stand, jump, cry, emote or what the fuck ever, how the hell you claim it to be cheating or even lame?

ffs

 

[Eleanora]

Casters can't strafe/run through, that is why it is lame.

 

[Belomar]

Casters/healers can perfectly well strafe when they have the assist train on them, works wonders.

 

[belxavier]

casters can run through but also tbh strafeing is done by many caster healer etc; and for a caster to qq about strafeing quite funny imo.... since if u got face on him or ench like thread starter here pbae/stun not gonna be that affected to same degree as a melee class when u cant style etc? :>

Don't tell me you haven't got to rr7 without running through a single CD?.

 

[Corran]

Heh, tell me about it. It insane when i strafe on my tic, which i resorted to doing so a fair bit at the moment due to all enemy starting it up again. 3+tanks on you taking down 2% health every 5seconds or so. Keeps me alive as tehy give up and bugger of elsewhere so i can get back to my job.. running around like a looney

 

[Brite]

i used to never strafe, and got loads of whine for strafeing

so now i strafe when i can be arsed, and i get no whine at all everyones a winner :worthy:

 

[Ame]

Tired of people strafing and do teh run through.. so I started strafing people when my qc is down .

 

[Friea]

stupeh har so sjukt liten snopp

 

[Dorimor1]

Fuck off.

Enough said.

If you can't counter strafing, you're stupid.

Fuck off to Camlamn.

Enough said.

 

[Bugz]

Ame is a child.

So am i...

Your point?

 

[DavidH]

stupeh har so sjukt liten snopp

Really

 

[Ame]

I feel so insulted.

 

[MKJ]

Yah wanna see how good run-through is in the hands of a master?

Eh - I ain't really trying here:

Fully buffed Oxymoron - polestaffer!

I gives him a good chance to havvanother shot at me - sos I takes him out from dah front!

Fully buffed Oxymoron - polestaffer! - round 2

Good sport is Oxy - more than can be said for many!

Films all over dah place! - Thugs forever!

couldn't agree more really, not strafing against tanks, especially charge that can't be negated in anyother way is just like saying 'hi, i'm ready for you to rape me a new asshole, lets get it over with fast.'
