I NEED TO STOP ACTING LIKE A SPERGLORD BY REPORTING PEOPLE FROM THE DOTA2 THREAD FOR THE SMALLEST SHIT


So I played cleric for a full day, died because I got lost and a skeleton beat me to death, and then deleted the cleric out of rage and madness, vowing to quit.

A week later i reconsider playing again. gently caress me

I should stop posting in YLLS and go lift with my Ninja Dad, because I literally look like this IRL

Human, you've made a wise choice. I had a human bard on Live but because I'm dumb I've made elves on all the emu servers.

You'll quickly get addicted to AE kiting, I suspect.

For AE kiting you'll basically just want Denon's horn and jboots (10k total, less if you can camp the jboots). You can be otherwise naked. If you want, you can get some MR (you will agro casters sometimes and they will try and root you!). Some people don't use jboots but it really is the best option in my opinion. Selos is too fast (more speed -> tighter circles -> less forgiving) and takes up a song slot that could be used trying to reapply dots which is important when you are picking up deep reds in your kite or just generically to increase dot uptime. You will also never die because you forgot to put it up, didn't realize you missed that note etc. Also you'll be happy you have jboots every single time you go inside.

I could only afford one of those, I think. At what level are Jboots camp-able?

edit: Wait, isn't Denon's Horn no drop?

Sorry I meant McVaxius... whatever the name of the one from Vox is.

The alternative to jboots is strafe kiting, which you can start at level 2, or weighing yourself down while playing selo's. I don't think people actually kite with selo's if they are unencumbered, it would be way too fast.

I'll be god damned. Maybe that was why I always sucked so bad at it when I used to try it. I always twisted Selo's unencumbered. I just absolutely could not nail the turns and hit the mobs without getting slammed unless I got really lucky.

On sleepers I was using selo's unencumbered and it was generally pretty easy. I just put on auto run and held right click and D and would strafe away from my counter clockwise circles. I've stopped playing at 28 though so I didn't have the super super high selos. Drovlargs in FV are insane fun though. So many.

There's something wrong on sleepers with strafe or mob run speed or something. I gave up when I found out you couldn't strafe kite on there, it requires you to have a movement speed buff. The problem might actually make it easier to kite with higher level selo's though dunno.

I'm at level 10 now, what's a good zone to practice AOE kiting relatively safely in? I've heard it's really easiest to wait until 18 for the DOT with wider range, so I also might just do that.

Before 18 you have to use this method: http://wiki.project1999.org/Hmotzar...ass_AoE_Hmurder

It works pretty much anywhere, I've done it in CB before even. And you don't really need that big of circles even though his guide says it.

I can't even fathom how you could do that in a zone like CB.

Thanks for the guide.

I think at level 10 I did nro (bugs and whatever else). I ran circles around the little camp at the interface between the sand and the grass. And yeah, on Sleeper run speed is wrong, mobs are too fast. The trade off is that melee range is SUPER forgiving,

28 PHs, about 9 or 10 hours later and Raster of Guk has allowed me to take my first step on the path towards epic dorkdom.

Balls to you and your way of mortal opinions - you don't exist anyway!

Congrats. Welcome to the exclusive club of people who can't believe they spent time doing this poo poo AGAIN on an emulated EQ server. Now just hope your pipe camps aren't too bad.

Did you at least get a few levels out of the deal?

I camped raster three times to get the epic and both robes.

Any goons online right now? I made my way to the EC tunnel and could use an invite to the guild... and anything you'd be willing to part with the help me through these painful low levels.
