I'm cheap for having a strategy? *gasp*

[Roberthree]

Ok, I'm f2p at the moment. I'm ordering more RAM so WoW runs smoother but until them I'm woodcutting or dueling. I have a technique that helps me win duels:

 

 

 

I turn food off and turn prayer off if I think they'll protect. (I don't like blowing money on runes. Call me cheap)

 

1) I start off in full rune and whatever melee weapon I find

 

2) I switch to mage at the start of the duel and bind.

 

If they range me go to 3a, if they melee me in metal armor go to 3b, if they take of melee armor but keep the melee weapon go to 3c.

 

3a) If they have the brains to switch to dhide, I run up and melee them. Their lowered defense makes them alot easier to kill. If they keep the melee armour I just keep maging because there is no way they'll out damage me in full metal armor.

 

3b) This is where I get flamed alot... Bind, run, blast, repeat. I get loads of "You cheap mage", "Omg farcast noob", and "You couldn't beat me without bind".

 

3c) Depending on how much I splash I either use 3A or 3B.

 

 

 

Mage is slow and weak, the only reason it is ever worth using is because it has snare and hits very well on meleers. I mages don't win without binds, you have to be able to play the class as it was mean to be played. It's like expecting a priest in WoW to not use Power Word: Shield and let the foe shred them. Mages are too squishy (especially in f2p) to handle attacks and they have to keep their distance. People need to realize this and stop calling me a cheap, farcasting, noob.

People are just angry they can't beat you and make up lame excuses.

Runescapers need to get it into their heads that ranging and maging are fine, its your own stupid fault if you didnt bring hides or a bow. I hate all these morons who think that dueling in anything other than rune legs, torso, whip+defender etc is cheating.

OK, heres another thing that bothers me.... I'm level 90. I'm lucky to find a level 75 in f2p. In a duel with movement, food, prayer, range, pots, range, AND magic turned off I managed to somehow loose. The RNG hates me... Even though I am obviously superior in combat to this guy stat wise and we're in the same equips. RS Combat is a friggin joke.

realise that, to most, it's not worth using the brainpower to come up with the strategy that gives a win. the only combat that is ever used is 'unload dagger specials. if they aren't dead, whip*
