#4 You take too much damage fighting 3 people. If you want to fight 3 people, get damreduction.

it would have saved you on the off chance you actually get neuroed.

#5 No resist mental. Apocalyptic rarely does this much damage (it's possible though) if you have resist up.


You have died, but the Carrion Fields are not finished with you yet!
Your soul is returned to the realms in the form of a ghost.
You will return to your corporeal state in a short while.
Be careful, for even a ghost should fear some dangers!
Better stand first.

#6 Resting at pit. After a PK fight you should either be splitting fast, or using the healer at pit. In this case you are
resting as a ghost, which is clearly not good. Follow advice 1-5 to prevent.



Now, I may sound like an asshole here, but I assure you this is all constructive criticism. I personally don't think a single one of the above combos is clearly broken. Some might be strong, yes, but not unbeatable by any class. For some it's harder than for others. Now remember cf is a competitive game, and dying isn't the end of the world. Not by far. It's in the spirit of the game to lose as it is to win. But don't make the mistake of accounting your losses to broken classes or gangs. Take responsibility for your shortcommings, even if you feel something is unfair, improve and prevail. Try to figure out where this seemingly unfair advantage comes from, and nullify it or use it to your advantage.

As you get better and learn to dish out some beatings, you will learn to also enjoy being beat. With my last one, Chrichuk (a scion invoker), I was pretty much unbeatable in most scenarios due to a strong combo, superior preps and eq, aswell as skill. Two people took me down heads up in 300 hours of hero time, Huewop and Iltch. Huewop bashed me down when I was unprepaired (it was a close fight still, mind you, even though I was a permalagged non abs invoker my eq almost took him down) and shield fell. I can do nothing but congratulate him for walking the uphill battle and taking the challenge, and beating it. And Iltch jacked me cold when shield fell during a fight, and with the speed of light dragged me to a nomagic locked room and proceeded with the beating. Again, not cheap but pure awesome. Using the means he had, he found the weak spot and penalised ruthlessly. If I credited these defeats on how unfair or cheap these tricks were, they would work on me all day long. But instead I assess the faults in my play, and take try to improve.

Good luck on the fields,

elmeri, hopefully not sounding too self-righteous
