I hate it when STR'S run away. That's just gay.
Of course, I'm not talking about archers, archers just standing there taking abuse isn't a smart idea. But if they have a blade or glaive, and they start to run away, you know that they're stupid.
One time (oh it was my finest moment) I was hunting at level 52, and I saw a guy that could be anywhere from level 52-63, and I started to chase him. He turned around and zerked me, but I survived and zerked him killing him in one shot
. Then I continued to run around until I ran out of zerk, then another glaiver came out trying to kill me, I was doing well against him, when a blader came out, they were double teaming me, and then the glaiver was trying to run away to regain hp, I was chasing him for like 3 minutes, the blader hitting me the whole time, then I finally killed him. Then I was fighting the blader, and HE started to run away, lol. Then I finally killed him.
Anyways, running away is fine if you're int, int hybrid (though I never ran away), or bow.

So you expect an archer to stand there and tank, with no immoblizing moves, while they get stunned, knocked back, and knocked down and stabbed?
Im guessing your a Glaiver

Cos I sometimes get called chicken when I try to kite, but that's the way an archer is suppose to fight right? Archers are not suppose to stand in one spot and just shoot arrows.
l'd prefer to call that a smart move instead of a cowardlish act.

Ugghh, people like you are making the intelligent population of the game scarce.mcnic wrote:I don't care how you word it, running away is running away. If you can't tank the damage, or deal enough damage to win, then run away, and keep running until you reach the teleporter to Jangan.
It's not my fault my glavie's attack rating is 214.

I don't see how you can call a Glaive attack over powered, considering the wicked HP some nukes can do :O
It's not running, it's tactical disengagement, same with zerking, it's part of the game and it's there for a reason, if you are getting owned and you need a little extra oompf then by all means zerk away.
I love people that come up with all kinds of excuses and reasons as to why they would have won, after they have already lost.
These arguments are all the same no matter what game you play, most FPS games it's usually "zomg I was bashing with my pistol and teh n00b pulled out an SMG and spammed me.........."
duh, idiot you're not there having a tea party, the idea is to kill each other!!

The hardest thing to do for a warrior is to run away (sun tzu art of war).
Play it the way that you want to play.
It annoys me immensely when players run to safe zone and use that to stop my attacks, then phantom back to me and attack, still it is a valid strategy.
Oh and I've played with pure int archer and pure str archer both at lvl 64+, and if I cant kill my target before they reach me, I'll just disengage, not worth staying there
(except in cape fight)
