Salik

so Dunn, your alone defender vs a group of 5, do you not use guards then? Your stupid if you think you could defeat 5 artied combatants alone.

Thaumas

It's perfectly fine to call for guards in that situation. Why that should be posted on forums is another matter. So you touched tentacle. Well done.

Dunn

It's you're.

I'm not artied, by the way, and there were three of us in city at any given time. Maybe you shouldn't piss people off while you're Mark?

Tanris

Yo, I jumped you alone and you held down that call for help macro like it was a 250 speed rapier with Profit in the room.

 

Not that I care if you use guards, mind.

Salik

I don't got a macro for call for help. Also only way to kill you in the city is to use guards, if not you got astral, earring, map. Can't strip your astral as I don't got cleansing, can't stop earring. So Only way to not die and be able to get you killed is to use guards.

Also I need to apply to be a security Aide. I know guards very well and where I can use them and what I need to do, to get them in the room you're in.

Tanris

Broken limbs and/or prone stop those things, btw.

Thaumas

Each of your posts makes Peak happy, Salik.

Mate, I'm alone defender vs, You, Tanris, Sohl, Earionduil.

Oh man,  Sohl is not to be trifled with.

Rangor

All I can see here is Salik stomping on your shallam parade.

And then Salik getting ganked a lot.

To add, Ashtan's Deaths: 12

Salik's Deaths: 7

During that raid.

Iocun

I didn't die a single time during that raid. I win.

Salik

Now you see that playing Barbie Girl(The old song by Aqua) when Tanris enters your room in raids is the way to go.

Tagg

People that have a pair and take risks die more often than someone who leans on call for help so hard they're lucky the guards haven't ever heard the story about the boy who cried wolf?

Well that's just shocking.

Salik

Hahahaha, ok, Tagg next time. We can do like this, I bring 4 friends and we attack you. You won't call for help or bring any friends and see how well you will do

Tagg

No you won't.

Dontarion

I hate you guys.

Cooper

Tagg, why don't you just 1v1 Salik?

Goggo

because he can't survive Salik.. heh

Because I don't 1v1 anymore, that's no secret

Jespar

which is easier, group combat or 1v1's?

i know it probably depends on class/preferences and skill but just some opinions would be nice

Iocun

That's a really hard question to answer. Personally, I found group combat easier to get started in, since you can generally just follow the orders of whoever leads your group and use one or two specific abilities over and over. That way of starting out in combat suited me, since I could just tag along and make my own observations with time, rather than being forced to make all sorts of important decisions on my own. There's also the advantage that there's little shame in dying in group combat, so I didn't have to be so embarrassed about my own lack of ability.

At the same time however, group combat can get quite hectic and people may not have the time to explain things mid-fight, plus you will often be facing opponents who are much more powerful than yourself (whereas in 1v1 you can select opponents around your own ability and might). I guess it can be frustrating if you die repeatedly and nobody has the time to tell you exactly why you died and how to prevent it.

Ultimately, both will get rather complex at the top end though, so none is really "easy" at a certain point. But as you said, it depends quite a lot on your class as well. A class like serpent is extremely straight-forward and quite simple in groups, but quite a bit more complex 1v1, whereas other classes (say, magi or monk) have many more interesting options in group combat, but can start out in a relatively straight-forward way in 1v1.

That's the first time I've seen that. What's that from? The only thing I can suspect is the heat vibe.

To be fair, that does technically count for a "combat"(read: gank) log. Not that I support all this smacktalk over one matter.

My favorite part is Krognak on enter -- got his ass handed to him.

Thaumas

After I think 3rd death, I learned not to follow that group to Earionduil. Whether Ashed subsequently learned how to dampen it I didn't see.

Achilles

Truename so wrong Not sure what 2-3 of them were doing. So few attacks. Draekar, Kendrick should have gotten some snipe kills after tumbling out.

Hirst

Truename just like soulspear. And let's not get started on piety/cleansing/warding/banishment/demons.

But yes, there wasn't much coordination there. Ashed doing incantation?  Draekar doing lone roar?  I must be missing something about strategy in here.

Tanris

This was shameless, but I lol'd.
