TIP to albion players

Hello everyone,

i would like to give a little piece of advice to all albion players specialy to melee chars cuz the casters feel this same way i do...

When u watching a situation like this: caster running arround with a melee char on the ass and, the caster stops uses Quick Cast + CC spell (root mez whatever)
Don't go there hit him just because u think u're doing the right thing because U AREN'T... Unless u wait for the caster to move again into safe distance the caster will die as soon as u break his CC spel...
So unless u're a tank with slam or a minstrel with stun DON'T EVER break the cc spell when the running caster is near.


I bet almost all albion & other realms casters feel this ' in they're skin'


On a side note, please don't take this as a flame i just really want to pass the tip.

Regards

See.. its a skill based game.

Yea plz watch for what caster is doing when u try to "save" him

Hamsters are much more scary than mooses If a rat comes near u u automatically see ur life bar dissapear especially now after relic loss

Btw this is a strange post ..

first of all .. if the poster really wantet to "enligthen" alb tanks then why put this here and not in the alb forum...

second ... this is common knowledge and i never see this happen...
Unless something else was involved. like lag .. or misunderstanding..

so the options left for this post is..

-Poster groups to much with new ppl...

-Poster got angry and wantet to piss of the realm by dissing it..

-Poster want to diverse him self from the "mob" and show to the BW old he is more uber than the ppl playing the tanks..

Yeah let's not forget the Mercs, Prevent Flight is a very useful tool, but 9 times out of 10 the caster I'm trying to save will just stand there and watch. Remember which players have PF, if they are hitting a tank on you... RUN, don't watch expecting the Merc to floor a Hero in 3 swings. 35% chance per swing of a 50% unbreakable snare on a duel wielding Merc swinging at 2.7 base speed can be quite useful.

Here's a tip for you wizzies, if you're at a mile gate stand off and a sorc/minstrel puts in a beautiful mez, resulting in the tanks deciding it's the right time to charge through and decimate the casters while they are immobilised, don't charge through the gate and AoE nuke :/

Tank hitting tank on caster = 1 dead caster
Wizzy nuking 3fg of mezzed hibs/mids = 1 dead alb army

p.s. Oh yeah and for those that do run, help the Merc who saved you, when the Hero finally works out what's going on and decides the caster is no longer and option so turning to the Merc. If you just pan your camera and watch what's going on you'll be able to nuke the Hero to death while the Merc takes the agro.

not floor heros in 3 hits?

no he wouldnt turn to the merc, he would go for another caster or support and ignore the merc (only a few of them hurt imo, one of them is konah :x ) if he turns to the merc he is just like the general stupid alb tank :/

merc should only drop PF and then switch target from the hero if he got PF that is, if he havnt got its useless of him truing to kill or hit the hero attacking the caster... this will only result in he breaking mezz/root wich the caster might try to qc


this is EXACLY why lots of alb tanks do wrong and get their support/casters killed...

You're sure about that?
Well I guess all Mid tanks are smarter than all alb tanks then, or am I just making wild generalisation?

I'm not making this stuff up, I'm basing it on actual experience. I've stopped 2 or 3 tanks chasing a caster before and yes they turn around and attack me, because 2/3-1 they will win, and the caster disappears into the sunset

If a tank chases an alb caster 100 yards out of a fight before realising he can't catch them, do you think he's going to charge 100 yards back towards the fight with a Merc hitting him all the way? I'm not going to floor a Hero in 3 hits, but I think he'd be dead before he got anywhere near another caster, the guy is still 50% snared remeber.

It all comes down to situations, in some scenarios this is correct, in others it isn't.

Zerkers:
Let them Hamster, CC them, ignore them.

Hamster mode will fade and then they are much more reasonable to communicate with

 

[duact]

thing is that a hampster requires more to kill then som caster(2hits)
