The life of a born-again newb.

Post by Is it in »

This has to be the best and funnest shard I've ever been on. I've never really played on t2a ruleset and it's a big difference then what I've been playing off and on since The Third Dawn. I never really got into how to setup razor right or learn to efficiently set my macros til I came to this shard. I think OSI and all those other freeshards really made it so easy for me that I didn't properly learn the game right.

Butttt... to another subject....

I still can't get away from PKs that well and the total count for today is 3 so far. They always get me when I'm casting fucking blade spirits! I set up a macro to cast recall on this rune but it's too slow. I think if I had a macro like that it'll get disrupted by the PKer then I'm just a sitting duck. I have GM hiding and it helps but not when they have me redline and I'm trying to run but they are catching up. Should I perhaps make the screen bigger viva razor? I think my resolution might be too small. Using the 800x600 and my overall resolution on computer is 1024x768.

Should I do some changes to enhance my skills in avoiding PKs? I need your advice, what do you think I'm doing wrong? BTW, I'm just a bard right now. All other characters haven't started to macro yet.

PS :: crew members are the nicest PKs ever.

If you absolutely need to interrupt a cast, carry a low level tinker trapped box, that'll do enough damage to interrupt you.

rule number 1 of getting away from pks.

Level 1 heal spell.

Your level 4 recall or GH takes too long to cast.

Get on the move and start spamming level 1 heal. If you can survive a semi dump from a pk with this you can probably get that emergancy recall off when the pk loads upd his level 6 or 7 attack spell.

So dont panic an spam some heals.

Most gank pks kill their target within 20 seconds or so. If you can survive that you have a real good chance of escape... Depends who is trying to kill you...
