Sandbox Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 if i can kill a 50 at 45, YOU can kill a 50 at 42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRins Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Exactly...particularly if the 50 is me. SIDE NOTE: That avatar makes me feel about 50 times more ferocious Sandbox...that kitten is pure win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest emp_newb Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 I highly disagree lol. To a point that is true Sandbox. But I was fighting a level 49 vampire with a level 41 slith blm with a nice compliment of armor to boot. There was nothing I could really do to the vamp. 8 ranks is a beefy advantage. I would be surprised if an 8 rank disadvantage did not almost fully negate prooper dirting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the Grand Overlord Virigoth once said that fighting someone at a rank disadvantage is approximately like having +10 spellsvs for EVERY level, and I forget the AC comparison.

tassinvegeta Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 How about don't fight him/her? Here are some choices. 1. Log off and back on when they aren't around. 2. Do guild quests while avoiding them to gain exp. 3. If you are ranking at a hunting ground ensure your other two groupmates will assist if he jumps anyone of you (excluding qclass/qraces). I love it when I jump a group and its members are too afraid to fight or have too much honor to fight together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iusedtobesomebody Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 That is the time to be creative, and seek every advantage you can. Change your tactics, and use attrition (unless the opponent is an attrition class, of course, then hit as hard as possible as quickly as possible). Surprise them, first attack and timing is crucial. Pay attention to the small details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L-A Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 I have beaten players with greater ranks (sometimes when they are the same class as me :-O ) but its a damn hard battle. It also depends on what class you are - an invoker is a much better killer of higher ranks than a warrior. Best bet is to carry some sanc and whatever else you need, six recalls, move to somewhere a LONG way from you recall and fight them. If it goes to hell flee and down the recall and bolt the other way. After a few of these battles and tactic changes you'll get an idea for what they are doing (if they are kicking your teeth in they won't really change their tactics) - you might find an advantage. You might also find out its time to just log off. The other way is to get a ranking group all in their PK, go rank and watch for them. When they show suit up and take it to them. Remember, anyone who attacks a group (and I considering moving towards me after a warning or summoning one of the group just what I need for carte blanche) had better be ready for that whole group. There are SOME strong lvl 50 characters who can shread a ready group of rankers - but these guys usually have almost zero interest in wiping ranking groups in any case. Most of the guys who patrol ranking areas run away and threaten IMM punishment like any good bully who gets stood up to would. Its OK, they need to get used to running because they do a good lot of it when you hit 50 and come looking for them as well :-D L-A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imoutgoodbye Posted July 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 I just drilled a 50 with a five rank disadvantage' date=' stop crying.[/quote'] You're right. I'll just do myself a favor and log off next time. What was I thinking, wanting to play? I just don't have the skill level to hang with the big dogs. Heck, everyone can play a melee at level 42 with decent wares/uncaballed and tackle a caballed decked out level 50 melee. Next time I'll break out my uber vet skillz.

Pali Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 I just drilled a 50 with a five rank disadvantage' date=' stop crying.[/quote'] Vellien beat a 50 when I was 42. Have the log to prove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celerity Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 I beat Hersnaie three times at level 42! But that was a long, long time ago! As silly as I think exp penalties are, this might be a case where you should try a lower one if you have problems like this. Or you can try to do anything you can to make friends with them, including giving your equipment or whatever---this can lead to a lot of fun RP. It gets very stale when everyone thinks they are #1 and will beat your butt (when I get to 50, my super eq, cabal rank, full consumables, you lose your skills/equipment/rank/etc and I also am having nice, lucky day---and I will tell you about it everytime we fight!)

Pieman Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 I just drilled a 50 with a five rank disadvantage' date=' stop crying.[/quote'] Wasn't a healer. Btw **** my life. BTW EDIT: I figured it out, it's not squid necro, or drow reaver voker or any of that that is OP. MF himself is OP. He has the power to stomp you into the ground with his eyeballs torn out of his sockets, tied by their blood vessels behind his back, both feet shackled, and wearing fuzzy mittens. MF needs a nerf.
