Yeah I know the basic PvP strats for most MMOs, casting lower rank spells for quick casts or stacking shitty buffs so people waste there dispells etc. I didnt mean I was a noob to PvP, just a noob to EQ PvP. Ive been PvPing since 1998 w/ UO and played everything between that and the more recent MMOs (WoW, L2, AoC etc.)
Thats what im saying, all I ever do in MMO's is PvP, but I was getting bored of WoW and the others and figured Id try out EQ since its a PvE game and wasnt my style. Turns out it was better then I thought and when I heard about a PvP EQ server, I really got interested cause thats like I usually do anyway ... but yeah, wasn't sure how it would work with the long cast spells and long CC etc.
But I guess if the general idea is to stack resist for short duration CC and use lower level spells to kite people, then maybe there will be a bit more skill involved then just a stack of wizards sitting on a rock spaming 10 sec cast spells and 1 shotting everyone. It just seemed to me like the skill cap for a player in this game when it comes to PvP is very small considering you can only ever have 10 spells at a time anyway, and most spells are 3-4 sec +, where as modern PvP MMOs tend to have 30ish + hotkeys and half of them are instant cast.
I dunno, it sounds better then what I was originally thinking, it actually sounds pretty fun. And yeah in most games there is always a class that counters another one, that was a given in most games. But being able to run w/ a full group and be able to take on other groups that are 2-3x the size of your own like Ive read in other posts, that sounds pretty awesome and would def. be something Id like to get into.
