to Auto-Pot or NOT to Auto-pot?

voltis5 · Post by **voltis5** » Wed Oct 04, 2006 4:16 pm

as for me its a life saver for PVE and i set it between 40-60% but for PVP i set it off. i just think pottin for pvp is a big waste.

yea but isnt the point of pvp is tryin to kill the other guy as quik as possible with brute str/nukes or whatever?

lets say you pvp a guy whos the same lvl as you wouldn't you wanna know whos the strongest out of the 2 rather then sitting there goin at it while potting away? much like in a fighting game (let say Street fighter 2 as an ex.) its 1 on 1 and ur tryin to kill the other guy with tactics and combos till his life goes down to 0 or would you wanna include items in there so you can heal your self 50x?

If you have 20K to buy hp pots for pvp.. why wouldn't you do that?
and LOL @ the real life example!!

I use auto pot whenever i was pvp or pve...
save a lot of time to press the shortcut key to pot when killing monster and during the pvp time..
For me,i think that the autopot is very useful and is a effective way to avoid died without noticed...Especially when fighting a giant...

I want to grind without having to look at my hp/mp bars 24/7...

voltis5 · Post by **voltis5** » Wed Oct 04, 2006 7:37 pm

any of you guys forgot to activacte AP while grinding? in my case almost everytime :banghead:

kinda embarrasing actually lol

Chaud · Post by **Chaud** » Wed Oct 04, 2006 8:02 pm

Lol, maybe when those of you who don't use pots get 45+ish will realize not using pts in cape fights doesn't make much sense....In any other situation, when fighting another person, you will both be potting.

rangah · Post by **rangah** » Wed Oct 04, 2006 8:29 pm

Ehrm, I pot everytime i cape, otherwise, whats the point really? I mean, you have like 3-5k hp something as Full Str, and like 1,5-2,5k as a Full Int? BANG BANG DEAD, two hits either you're Full int/Str.

well if i did things wit ur theory id tell the other guy"oi! get naked" and purely nuke without any weapon or clothes on and let the str punch me wit there fire imbue. WOW ISNT THAT STUPID?!!?

also without pots then hybrid ints and INTs wont stand a chance against str.

only ppl on my server who pvp wit outs pots are like -30 97% of the time
cuz they think its a waste of pots when u can just respawn on the spot but thats BS.

IguanaRampage · Post by **IguanaRampage** » Thu Oct 05, 2006 4:44 am

u should always pot even in cape wars simply because thats an awesome aspect of the game and u should enhance your experience of it by potting and standing a chance in the fight lol. :wink:

vulperin · Post by **vulperin** » Thu Oct 05, 2006 2:06 pm

So auto potting is slower than manual potting in cape fight? Why?

larvs · Post by **larvs** » Fri Oct 06, 2006 10:37 am

comparing street fighter or any arcade game to SRO pvp won't really do justice to either genre. arcade games are built to last on their own with each matches timed at 60 secs to 90 secs. SRO pvp will be very short and boring to even pull your hard earned skills at the onset, and most of the time, int's are given the first attack in caping matches versus in KOF (king of fighters) the start of the match is timed. plus there's really no pure
ints that can be one shotted, no level differences, only skiill diferrences. there is of course damage ditribution amongst different characters, speed differences, size, hit box variables, animation cool down times. SRO does not have most of them. (yeah i was an arcade addict.

so potting for me during caping FTW. ifwating gold is your reason for not doing so, then just go and farm money, NPC white items, dance at a night club or whatever. sure beats getting one shotted by glaivers.

Let me know when jobbing / guild wars and you don't use pots.

Zypher · Post by **Zypher** » Fri Oct 06, 2006 2:29 pm

i use pots in pvp

becaues a person can get a lucky crit, but you know you can beat him.

it would be a waste if you didnt pot

I didn't realize how useful it was until I moved to JSRO and they don't have it. =(
