PK is completely biased...

[nerdattack16]

In regards to the OP: Hope you have a killer time pking.

 

I am stealing your frog. I'll try not to use it here though. Wouldn't want to steal a shtick!

[n64jive]

I'd say the p2p triangle is pretty equal.

 

 

 

Even though mages max hit is 30, you can easily catch the opponent off guard with it. The truth is you're not going to kill anyone with magic alone. Thankfully, switching to claws and specing an opponent who is more then likely anywhere from 3/4's to half hp, has a very good chance of KOing the opponent.

 

 

 

Magic can't hold water on its own, but it has very impressive features tagged along with range or melee(or both)...

 

 

 

So the moral of the story: hybrids own the combat triangle :)

Time to let this thread die.

 

 

 

The OP is too idiotic, and I already tore all his existing arguments up into trash. And he's not replying, so lets just LET THIS THREAD die instead of bumping it so it can waste valuable space on the front page(s).

[Hegelstad]

PvP was actually biased when they removed "Wildy"

[quelmotz]

Stop bumping this freaking thread!!!!!!

Haaa, you just bumped it yourself. And when are you Mister Supreme Leader here? Sheesh. Get over it.

I don't get it...

[quelmotz]

Yeah, so?

 

 

 

 

 

You know why so many legitimate rants are getting pushed down off the first page, whereas the first page is full of crappy, stupid threads like this?

[Sir_Kurity]

I would say it has discussion value.

 

 

 

Oh and you have got to clean up your sig somehow quelmotz, it takes up like half the screen.

[Jehosaphat]

Sorry, just HAD to add my two cents. This is all in reply to the OP.

 

 

 

PK isn't biased if you know how to and actually do it right. Obviously, the OP doesn't. (I do, I just do it the wrong way for kicks.)

 

 

 

Melee is NOT stuck with the worst deal - heck, melee has probably the HIGHEST KO potential - and with multiple weapons to boot. (DDS, AGS, BGS to some extent, Gmaul.....)

 

 

 

Mage can beat Melee easily, but that's the way it's SUPPOSED to work. if they've spent as much time training mage as you have training melee, they'll beat you unless they have no grasp of tactics whatsoever and decide to stand in front of your face.

 

 

 

Also, if you want Mage to have to stand right next to Meleers, then just to be fair, Mages should have spells that would hit 60s but could only be cast at close range. Oh, but Meleers wouldn't get whole weapons - they'd use a bunch of "weapon fragments" that work as a weapon, but if you die, you only keep 3-4 pieces of the weapon. And that's if you were wearing no armor. oh, and make it so that approx. 1mil worth of weapon fragments = 1 weapon. Then you'd get your way and the triangle would still work as it's supposed to.

 

 

 

And also, if you're that fed up with mages, go get your Range up and shoot the heck out of them with a bow. Because that's the way it's DESIGNED TO WORK.

 

 

 

Now the thread can die. May it (and the OP) rest in peace.

[warren211]

So, you're telling me... Snaring someone and then teleblocking them, repeatedly, giving the melee absolutely ZERO chance of defending himself is fair, all because the mage is wearing a bedsheet?

 

 

 

Pssh, please.

 

 

 

So, please correct me, and point me to the area of the KB that shows that snare does any damage at all? O.K., the guy keeps you from tele'ing, then what, annoys you to red bar by snaring you.....I'm not really getting it.

 

 

 

 

 

No, it goes like... So...

 

 

 

Teleblock - Snare - Fire wave (or whatever spell it is that does damage - Snare - Fire wave - Snare - Fire wave - Snare - Fire wave.. etc. etc..

 

 

 

What the hell? Where do you pk? In all the time i've spent in pvp there are incredibly few fire wave pkers. 90% of all mages on the normal spellbook will entangle you, teleblock, then switch to melee or range because it does far more damage than fire wave. You obviously have not pked enough; most mages don't even mage 100% of the time unless they're in a clan. Mage is actually UNDERPOWERED in my book. Unless you're one of those pkers who kills people who train slayer or combat skills in obscure parts of pvp where being pjed is far less common, mages are NOT overpowered in normal hotspot fights because the chance of being pjed is great when farcasting, and fighting close up is suicide against a meleer, and getting a finishing hit is rather hard considering that mage's max is a little above 30.

[Sir_Kurity]

Also, its more snare, fire wave x3 then run while the snare wears out, snare again, and fire wave x3.

 

 

 

Its pretty effective if no one pjs you.

[Wisp]

Stop bumping this freaking thread!!!!!!

 

Haaa, you just bumped it yourself. And when are you Mister Supreme Leader here? Sheesh. Get over it.

 

 

 

Yeah, so?

 

 

 

 

 

You know why so many legitimate rants are getting pushed down off the first page, whereas the first page is full of crappy, stupid threads like this?

 

On the first page there are threads that almost ten days old. We don't need to worry about legitimate *active* threads being pushed down.

 

 

 

Mage, regardless of how it should be, is the weakest on the triangle. Range can beat melee a lot of the time, with the best bolts and all, but they have to spend more than a meleer most of the time, since if you die you will only keep a few bolts if any. Mage is best used for hybriding. I had the most success pking back in the day by wearing mystic top, rune legs, dds, barrows gloves and other accessories, freezing them, then speccing them, and hoping they die. And if not, I retreat and use ice spells. I would also bring a whip if I felt like it, so I could do consistent melee damage. Course this was back before the wilderness removal.

Because:

 

A. You are telling us not to bump threads like these, thereby bumping the threads yourself,

 

 

 

B. There aren't a whole lot of legitimate rants that are actually active, and

 

 

 

C. You aren't bumping the "legitimate" threads yourself, so obviously you don't really care, and instead want a reason to get irritated?

 

 

 

I think I covered everything, but I'm not sure.

Okay, he bumped instead of letting it die. Now please, let's stop arguing about how those trying to kill this thread are making it survive.

 

 

 

It's a pointless rant about how the combat triangle actually DOES WHAT IT IS SUPPOSED TO.

 

 

 

(Almost) Everyone here has ripped the OP's post into shreds, and then further dissected the shreds.

 

 

 

LET THE THREAD DIE.

 

 

 

If I see a post about how I'm keeping it alive, then I won't post back, further killing the thread. HA! :twisted:
