Precast

[DingDong]

Just curios about the precast thingy. Have been killed a few times when hunting in dungeons. I dont mind beeing killed, its a part of the game, just dust it off and back to the game, no biggy.

Last night I was killed in a dungeon, 3 red dudes suddenly showed up while I was shooting my arrows at a mob, I saw thier incoming names, took a few steps and started a recall macro, next second my spell was disturbed since they had casted something at me, one sec after that the sync explo and corp por me, I think I died of the explosions only, it went really fast.

Couldnt there be something that if you pre casted a spell you cant run, otherwise if you run the spell will be disturbed after 10 steps or so, or maybe when precasted they loose little mana or something every second while running.
Its pretty op when 2-3 or more comes running around in the dungeon and just fast target you when they see you then "BAM" you are dead, I didnt even get that "any last words before I die thing"

Just a thought, Im not a good mage my self nor a pvp:er but just wanted to ask.

No. Learn to defend yourself.

Hell, he has a point. it really does make at least a little sense from a balance standpoint.

But I can't really see it being a popular idea and it would probably drive away more players than it would attract.

Not sure what ur template is but on my archer bard I try and have something that blocks the immediate closest target like a wall or a door, so they have to actually go arou d so. E thing or through, gives you that extra second, not foolproof by any means but it's what I started to do for that reason. Like wreck said, makes sense, but would never happen.

bank often so not to lose too much if you die
recall is a really short cast make sure your ready to do it [also you can precast recall]
player killing is part of the game just be ready.

this guy's got it.. see the names and haul ass to the nearest corner to cut off their LOS.. gives you a little bit more time to get that recall off

Thanks guys! Its all about rethink my strategy. Try to not stay in open space, better try to be in narrow areas with more turns, doors walls etc so i have more time time to flee away and think about what to do. Im normaly so surprised lol, it use to happens when I turn my eyes away from the screen for a sec, like wife askes something and I have to answer, when look back I see red names incooming out of screen, fumbling after recall button hotkey, bom bom dead lol
I need to find a pvp or pvm mentor some day that could show me some tricks on how to survive those situations

 

[DingDong]

Just wonder, if someone has casted explosion on you and it takes a little while before it explodes, will you be able to recall after they targeted and before it explodes? Exampel, i see the reds comming running wirh precasted expl, i start of recall macro and they targets me and drop the expl on me. Will I be disrupted or will I still continue and get the *bom* when I arrives at my recallspot?

Aye thats for sure, trying to recall bank often but sometimes Im just exploring around and trying to find new intressting places in dungeons. Never loose much stuff, a few regs and equipment so Im not sad about that. Mainly its a strategy I need to learn to survive more. Learn by playing

 

[Jager]

Yes you will recall into town and take the damage, I've recalled with little to no health and exp hits and kills me on other side

Yipii, awesome that you take some time to write guides like that, I will for sure check them out as soon as they show up...

 

[amonseti]

Wow ok yeah ... I think this is actually new ... there is something diffrent ... I used to be able to get away with a quick recall 3 times out of 5 .. but not anymore , i have not changed my "GTFO" hot key and I am suddenly not able to get my recall cast fast enough anymore ... im over 0 for 10 and on some of them they were well around corners and i was able to see them clearly and fire my "GTFO" key but the fucking spell takes forever now, Im wondering if the devs have slowed down the cast speed of recall.

 

[Shini]

You kitties need to learn how to strike back sometimes.

 

[amonseti]

once again not everyone plays a pvp template ..
UOF is litirally rockpaper scissors

PvP template > PvM Template
PvM template > NPC Spawn
NPC Spawn > PvP Template

It really dont get more simple then that.

My PvM template is > than most PvP templates. In fact, some poor soul last night thought he could pk me when I had a paragon lich lord on me... I'm afraid his nerves couldn't handle a PvM character turning and chasing him because he died rather quickly.

My point is it just depends on how you build your PvM template and how much defense you want to lose to gain that extra bit of Mob smashing ability. You can have a fully functional PvM template that is still ready to fight a PK or two.
