How EQ PvP really was - No bullshit guide

[valithteezee]

Why are you all trolling this guy trying to give something back to the community? It's not THAT Bad of advice. I mean some stuff I don't really agree with but you guys are raping his mouth.

You guys blasting eachother on this is hilarious. Classic eq pvp was never black and white. Every class had an area where they shined shined pvp, whether it was solo/group or indoor/outdoor. The only excepion to this might be ranger's, they did not really shine in any situation during classic.

Yo whermach-I mean tmoney did you even play EQ in 99? Everything you seem to post about as classic reflects kunark? Velious?

No, Rob, he didn't. Thus his post is fucking useless. Go back to P99 troglodyte.

They would not resist every time, no. It was easy to keep 2 dots on without one falling off. Of course, I wasn't high level until Velious had been out for a while, and I'm sure OoS helped me a great deal.

EDIT: Pure melee classes WERE free kills, if you were a blah bard and only kited. Though snare was just about always resisted, it was not needed with Selo's.

Your post is meaningless because you played a bard and have no idea what the resists of people you attacked were. A huge percent of PvP population had terrible gear.

As someone with high resists being attacked by them, I know exactly the threat of their 0 resist mod dots, and the threat was basically negligible. The occasional dots slipping through might have been a problem for normal races, but if you were a troll/iksar wearing a fungi, you just laugh at them.

I suppose that may be the case. But you were writing a guide, were you not? You never specified that the guide was written strictly for people playing trolls/iksar, with fungi tunics and above average resists. Maybe you should include that in the OP.

You are now only talking about a pvp game where people are in BiS raid gear. That is not relevant for most people on a pvp server.

Those people in BiS raid gear, if they were out solo pvping were either looking to gank people or if you were in grp, the dynamic is very different.

Also, get your story straight - if you are talking about classic era pvp stop including fungi tunics, epics, tstaffs and iksars. If we are talking Kunark/Velious, the pvp changes a lot especially in Velious where resists were a lot easier to get, hp pools were much larger and melee became even more dangerous.

Either way, lets just make it classic and be done with it. The devs are not going to balance the server around your opinion of bard vs melee.
