> Falcon is much better than eagle, trust me on this. > > I have a falcon and I notice that when people attack with eagle there seems to be no lag at all between flyto and murder, I get a little one myself even if I have a macro that does all that in one command. > Probably your MUD client or something... maybe even your link. Both Air Major forms get no lag from flyto, although there's a strong chance that there'll be a strong chance that they will be able to rot you, sleep you or jack you before the "murder" command comes through. This is why whenever I fight an air major with any of my other characters, I hope that they'll use the flyto;murder;fly strategy, more of a chance for me to get a critical attack through... > > I know nothing about coding and computers by the way. I'm not complaining about the falcon by the way, I'm sure it is very good and will get better but I get beaten very easily by any eagle even when I'm sanc and have shields.. since most people got an eagle, I tought I was lucky to have a falcon but I really wonder if the falcon has at least one fighting ability better then the eagle, please, don't tell me dodge.. eagles are hiting me more often and with more damage. > Well, if I don't tell you dodge, I don't know what to tell you. Eagles hit much harder than falcons, but I have fought many eagles in the air, and I can assure you that I've never died to an eagle as Zaendiir. I just suggest that you find some different ways to kill people than flyto;murder and start being creative with your transmuter spells. Eventually the flyto;murder strategy will stop working as the people in your range wise up and find ways to screw you over. > Here's a short log I posted a long long time ago of an eagle vs falcon battle in the air. See if you notice another disadvantage that the eagle has that the falcon doesn't have. > You flap your wings and soar up above. > You make some noise as you are attacked. > People near you: > You dodge an eagle's claw. > An eagle tries to flee but you catch up and engage again. > An eagle's claw *** DEMOLISHES *** you! > You dodge an eagle's claw. > An eagle's claw *** DEMOLISHES *** you! > You dodge an eagle's claw. > You dodge an eagle's claw. > You snort in general at the room. > An eagle tries to flee but you catch up and engage again. > You dodge an eagle's claw. > An eagle tries to flee but you catch up and engage again. > You dodge an eagle's claw. > An eagle tries to flee but you catch up and engage again. > You dodge an eagle's claw. > An eagle tries to flee but you catch up and engage again. > You dodge an eagle's claw. > An eagle tries to flee but you catch up and engage again. > You dodge an eagle's claw. > An eagle's claw *** DEMOLISHES *** you! > An eagle tries to flee but you catch up and engage again. > You howl long and loud, only to be answered by others of your breed. > An eagle's claw *** DEMOLISHES *** you!
