In Reply to: Suggestions and or difference for a bard to use roundhouse or trip in a pk. nt posted by Bard on August 16, 2000 at 23:58:39:
Simplest suggestion (I don't remember who said this first, but it has value): If you have a client, set up an alias so that anytime you try to roundhouse, it sends 'flee' to CF instead. The whole thing about the "lagging" attacks that many players seem to miss is that if you're using them, you should believe that if no commands are entered, you will win the fight. That's a bit simplistic, but I'm trying to be brief. You're a bard. You get two attacks and no dual wield. Your pure physical combat is not going to overwhelm. . .well, anyone really. You'd be a step up on the conjurers I've seen spamming lash without servitors, but not much. There are situations where I would use roundhouse in a PK, but most of them are very convoluted, involve playing the massive overwhelming ganging card (and so are only really viable for battle bards :p), or involve situations so dire you should be trying to run the hell away. Trip's generally a better move in my opinion, but I still wouldn't go to the trip well all that often.
