Ae pull stealer epidemic...

    There are a number of people in the deep that are running around to stun locked pulls and hitting them with 1 to 3 wizards. Often ive noticed they are gnomes.

    Two things you can do. ...

    Ooc to the zone a heads up that they are prowling and,
    Keep your mobs hurt. If you fight from 100% they have a shot but if your mobs are under 50% all they can do is literally help you finish.

    Stun locked mobs? what are you people doing

    There is one more thing you can do. Have evac memmed and as soon as you notice a oog person casting nukes hit the evac. They will die a swift death.
  4. HoodenShuklak Augur

    Unfortunately the evac method works but you lose the pull. If the mobs are hurt you still get the kills you probably spent 5 to 10 minutes working on.

    Eventually the griefers will realize the exp would be better if they just. .. joined the group.
  5. Barzini Journeyman

    When you evac, the mobs don't die, so you can just go back to pulling them again once back in camp. If you get KS'd then all the mobs die and you dont get any exp. Then you have to wait for respawns. Much more gratifying to come back to camp and see the KS'rs corpses.

    so your using the bard to swarm pull more mobs than you can kill at once and hogging multiple camps from others and are upset that someone's retaliating?

    exactly how many mobs are you pulling that take 5 to ten minutes to pull.... in the deep . which on your server would be a current zone.?

    It seems they're suggesting that they CAN kill the mobs, but somebody else is killing them faster (KS'ing).
  8. Tornicade_IV Augur



    One of the main reasons Swarm kiting by SK's was nerfed and all the new ae spells have mob limites is because SK's were monopolizing content by pulling entire zones. these were zones in low demand.


    Now this bard is stalking about stunning locking a large group of mobs that take 5-10 minutes to pull,

    it sounds an awful lot like monopolizing content in what I would assume is a medium to high demand zone.
    The deep has a pretty decent density of Mobs.

    It sounds like the OP is corralling mobs and then splitting them out.

    hence the question for clarification

    Monopolizes a zone, complains about DPS races, plans to "lock down" another camp. Hmmmmm.

    > Implying regular groups grind in The Deep.

    KSing AE groups is a great way to get some solo xp on a wizard.

    Remember kids, "DPS wins in all situations"
  13. Barudin_Phinigel Augur

    Pull with a Cleric. Have bard sing damage dot songs in camp. Have more then one puller. There are ways around this.

    As a side note: Make sure your Enchanters and damage classes block target da while in the deep.

    let me really blow your mind now...on agnarr the frenzy camp is also part of the arch magus camp. And guess who also gets the hand?

    It's not even Ksing at this point it's pure griefing, because even if you move they follow you, if you change picks they follow you. they don't pull anything. so it's not dps racing, it's griefing, and it's the same guild and the same people.
  16. MaxTheLion Augur

    Provide good evidence and report the issue. Something is usually done even if it's not noticed instantly. The problem is that people don't hear instantly that Soandso was banned so they think it's not working and their only alternative is to come to the forums to flame the guild or player (which is against the rules). Play the legal game rather than the tantrum game and it'll result in a better outcome.

    From all the classes that don't get spots in an AE group without begging/buying our way in: "We don' t care"

    Yeah. I'm finding it real hard to care that you can't pull half the zone because someone sits there and tries to out DPS you.

    Just section if off and do it in 3 pulls, with bard/ench and aa's everyone can med to full before 1 repops. Plus it lessens the chance mobs get outside the stun lock zone and everyone wipes, just nuke as soon as pull straggles in.

    Less downtime of course, but worked for us. If it's 3 wizard your not gonna out dps em anyway cuz most ae groups have 2. evac might be the only option..

    Sux to hear that they nerfed ae spells down the road, i love ae groups
