I am assuming by this narrative that you are a melee fighter and not a caster, and probably under level 10?

If you are a melee fighter then I'd say go for the blue one. If you can kill him you'll at least get some xp before you die. If you are under 10 you won't lose xp so the xp you just got you still keep.

If you are a caster try slowing /snaring/mezzing/rooting one or the other then pull the still mobile one away and kill him.

In either case, its always good to have sow just inc ase you need to run if thigns go frm bad to worse.

Now though if you get a Temp from a high level cleric, you can probably take on both orcs without losing too much health.

Subject: [EverQuest] Who do you take first?

It happened again yesterday. I pick a fight with an orc that cons yellow, and a buddy of his joins in who cons blue. I am working solo so they are both my problem alone. I have been trying to figure out the best way to deal with them. Take the blue first since I can kill him quicker, thus I will recieve lets hits total during the fight? Take the yellow though it will take longer to kill him, and I am getting attacked by the blue the whole time, its the yellow one is doing the most damage so the less time I face him the better off I am. Or is it pretty much a wash either way? ---------- Her, "Are you still making sandwiches?" Me, "No, now I am making tunics." Her, "And you make fun of Myst because of the lack of action!"
