Subject: Clarification on Stealing
I'm now based at HH, soloing. Downtime is long but get all the xp.
Actually if wiz wanna play punk we can rise lvl pretty fast, by stealing
(huh? Leshrec is rising lvl fast? well...errr..hehehehe). So far what I
did is to attack the moment when the mob spawn, which normally draw the mob
to me and turn to a melee + casting battle. This way is quite ok, but some
pple at Ro still call me a stealer. They forget that my down time is so
long (normally used up at least 80% of my mana and 1-2 bubb of my HP). For
this kinda pple I normally scold back or use the ignore command on them.
Those wizs in HH really "aim' nicely and start nuking when the mob hp drop
by 30-40% (At one time I just sit next to them and observe how they hunt).
Btw the time mob turn to them, the mob only left 10-20% HP. If I were to
follow their style, I think I will lvl much faster, coz this method means
they just nuke 2 times (hurt more than 50%) and let others finish their
kill, and they got less down time and more loot. H/w, this method also
spoil a wiz reputation and not very nice to do, so I choose the harder way.
So for all the new comers out there, pls do not make noise if a wiz is
using his body to tank and got a kill just becoz he kill faster then u.
Make him frustrated he may change his mind and start "stealing" from u,
hehe. If u wish to take turns to kill, pls ask when u enter a camp. Me
personally quite bo chap if those high lvl players just step in and start
hunting. My opinion is - if they just step in and hunt, they are trying to
compete for kills, so no need to give way. I ever come across a necro from
Higher Order of Arcane at lvl 16 (name is Malten), and he spam me for
stealing his kill, simply becoz I nuke and his pet attack same time. Of
coz, my nuking is far more damaging than his little pet, draw the mob to me
and he spam all the way. So irritating that I use the ignore command on
him, heheh. Btw, one of the big stealers at HH now is Senear, the lvl 17
wiz, also from Higher Order of Arcane. He and another guildmate of his
were nuking whole day at HH yesterday. They steal from groups of lvl
18-20+ melee fighters. In the end the other groups all invite me to join
theirs becoz they can see I only nuke and dun steal, and my nuking plus
their melee can take back some kills.
Last piece of advice, if u are camping at certain spot, and a wiz of lvl 16
(below lvl 16 we still quite sux, hehe) and above is also camping there,
either ask for rotation or move elsewhere. A wiz can steal from a melee
char of 8-10 lvl above him. No joke. Even if you are are in a full house
of melee chars of the same lvl as that wiz, the wiz can still steal, if he
wants. So if the newcomers come across this kinda CB players, it's wiser
to move on to another camp, coz it's only waste of time to stay there (u
are helpnig him to kill only).
Btw, even wiz can be quite guai lan at time, but IMHO the most seah-lan is
high lvl enchanter. Not only they just hunt by charming mobs to kill
themselves (ie hunt without even using their hands, heh). Make them
frustrated they can train all the mobs on u, hehe.
FYI, if u hunt around NRo, there is a PvP dwarf name Broughm who like to
train SG to non-PvP players, I bet this is the only way he can kill those
non-PvP players. Kinda sick minded - kill for the fun of killing. He
train cutts to me twice, one time almost kill me and 2nd time killed
himself, heh.
