There is no “skill” in Everquest

call it what you want, it was just someone being absolutely turrible at the game

I bind sighted many of these fights and frowned hard as fuck

it is mostly farmers in OOT. i murdered people there on my wizard too. half of them would just loot corpse and keep farming. they are only there for one thing and since you can drawn youself to get full mana back, there is no stopping them.

Does a panther lack skill in hunting, becuse he waits in the shadows until the weak youngling is distracted and far enough from the pack to be ripped him from limb to limb?

That's strategy. Skill is the part where it takes a swing and knowledge is knowing that there will be stragglers.

So when Imawizard sees someone in lesser faydark on /who, he has knowledge that they might be at the sisters camp, and the strategy of being a wizard of higher level than they're likely to be who may or may not have a friend with him and will be invisible (not everyone has BotH). The skill is just him hitting the nuke button, which is why people say ganker wizards have no skill.

But again, pedantic.

panthers are pussies.

Is it skill when you know that someone who gated in OOT and is still in the zone, might be on island X and if not will be on Island Y and likely will be meddling in the spot under a tree A and if not is likely meddling under tree B... and then getting there before they can shout HAX and killing them at their bind point?

I'd call that knowledge. But knowledge, skill, and strategy could all loosely be grouped under Skill.

skill in EQ pvp is knowledge and strategy.. that's about it there's only so many variables depending on the class your up against and then there's always the RNG that comes into place.

it's not a skill you could compare to lets say counter strike.. and i'd say EQ "skill" is much easier to obtain...
