AV on Thursday

[Ipit]

I just wanted to post my stats from that AV Ash, Fire and I were in on Thursday. It lasted about 6 hours, and we lost in the end because about ten people left at the same time and we couldn't recover.

Killing Blows: 156
Deaths: 116
Honorable kills: 1,456
Bonus Honor: 2,376

I'm kinda proud of myself since I came in second overall and frist for the horde. I don't know if everyone else wasn't very good in that battle, or maybe I'ma little better than I thought?

We should get more LotV/HGA people in on this, it would be even more fun.

Gratz man; mages have all the luck in AV it seems....frost nova....blink....it incites the angry monkey in me

Well, mages also get to use their aoe when the lines are facing off. While all us rogues are trying to sneak around behind the other guys, mages and locks aoe the hell out of the other team usually. Then they aoe near where they are standing so they pull me out of stealth and I say "OH SHIT!!"

Grats Ipit that is kickass!
Yesterday was sooo much fun, we really should do it more often. Next time I won't be such a newb.

Actually, the funny thing is that I didn't use any AoE, I find you attract way too much attention for the tiny bit of damage you do. My trick was: when the lines were drawn, tab target whatever's cloes, then balst them away. Oddly enough, I used a lot of fireballs since the extra 5 yard range seemed to make people forget about me.

Also, I found that if your target runs out of your range, tab target something else, chances are someone's close, and start to nuke them. In PUGs they won't be healing each other very much and they'll come back anyways. The further you stay back, the less they'll notice you, espcially if you're not using AoE.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I'm most proud of the fact I lived for 24 minutes, while in constant battle. I even vurned evo and my mana rubies. I think a shaman found out that I was a "mana forever" mage and threw a heal on me on the rare occasion I was hit, since I was chain casting everything.

I had a 2 hr run once where i died only 3 times....why?...cus i cheat. Hehe. when i was there for rep, i didnt care about the honor so i just wanted kills, and lots of them. I would just run into the group of alliance, IAE a few times, and then blink out. Drink. Eat. Rinse and repeat. As i did this the other ppl would kill the alliance i tagged and id get rep, and id stay alive!

Yea yea, it was cheating, but meh...

[a rotten guest]

same deal here for grinding rep
im not trying to kill anymore in av, just damage and move
dead toons dont get rep

charge
shout of some kind to get on the threat list
switch targets a lot, drop a hit or two, move onto the next

harder for melee to live long after engaging but can last a bit longer using this method

[Mcguirk]

Not if you're a rogue with jack shit for hp and armor. . run through tab targetting with auto attack on then vanish maybe? I dunno, I think vanish might clear me off of their threat list.

No aoe ftl.

Hmmm.. I guess we can always train engineering and lob grenades every 5 minutes from a safer distance.

You could always get some bandages and heal some mages...you'll get on the hate list of everything the mage touches

[Malthorn]
