Some clarification and a bit more questions

{{ Since you are a lowbie ap, pick weapons that they don't know, so they don't parry well, and preferably ones that they can't dodge easily. Axes should be kept for shield cleaving imho, unless you are fighting someone with lowish dex.}}
Warrior knows all weapon. Ranger - too. Assassin does not know axe, but I parry badly with it. I tried with axe, though, see results below. Perhaps, the best trying.

{{ You have a couple of options. One is to use your damage dealing spells. They can do significant damage at low levels. Lightning bolt is good, but I've killed people with chill touch before too in a pinch. So one option is to wait until they are quite hurt, and bust out a couple of lightning bolts to finish them when they don't expect it.

Second option is to blind them. But you don't have to re-engage right away. And to be honest, at low level you might just want to bust out the damage again and not worry so much about the disarm. But you don't have to stand around trying to blind until really hurt. If you don't land it early in the fight, break off and try again another time. Better yet, surprise them (with invis if they don't have magi) and blind them whilst they fight mobs as they rank. }}

I have no chance to win either I will use damage spells or blind

I've read through logs, just an example:

1. Me vs human defensive warrior of same rank. I use sword and I know his weapon well. I've made 6 hits, he've parried all. He made 6 hits, I parried 1.
5 hits + parting blows = I am almost dead in two rounds.

2. Me versus human assassin of same rank. I use axe, he uses dont know what. I've hit him 2 times from 8 blows, he've hit me 4 times from 9 blows. And I did not manage to land blind on him, when I have ~70% hp and he has a few scratches. Its my best fight.

And I did not even mention villagers, I have real troubles with them.

Yes, I am fleeing when I see I am losing. But I just see logs of aps being much better in defence/landings hits and wish to know why.

{{ Depends on the weapon being used and the number of charges the ap has. But also, very much on the protections the AP is using. }}
No, I am just about "how many hits you land on foe, and foe land on you". Protections dont help in this, as I know. Nithinel used spear. Assassin used swords as I remember.

How so?

Nep said that he tweaked it so it didn't have as much of an affect. n/t

Clarification, Nep said STR loss doesn't effect dodging so much now

Guy January 04, 2008 12:16PM

I *believe* (with no testing whatsoever)...

laearrist January 02, 2008 10:06AM

I support this notion whole heartedly. It's pretty much what I thought too. nt
