[GSLeloo]

I don't even know if he's the original player or not. I've seen him as Forus and I've seen someone else using him.

[Divinity]

You had someone coach you through the kill? :?:

[Meth]

lol nah, would seem like that though, i thought it would look funny, i knew id catch heat for it ;)

[Meth]

Unimpressed. I find guild moves in duels to be very cheap. However, a win is a win.

[Meth]

cheap? all us warriors have our gld skills, what am i to do? swing at him as he stands in defense, then while im in rt he ewaves and bolts me? noooo thanks, ill take the 'cheap' win, i worked hard for my gld, gives me same types of skills others get normally

Why? What do you except them to do?

[AnticorRifling]

My only beef with guild skills is the fact that I have to send 2 commands to the game to get off a spell in a duel where you only have to send 1 to get the guild skill off meaning if you're old enough to tag me with guild you win period.

[Meth]

not really, doesnt psinet got that tool u can type in one command and it preps and casts at someone, I know u can incant spells too, which is obviously one command

[Chadj]

I personally refuse duels with them. I think Reminion was an idiot to duel a warrior like level, cause guild will pwn almost every time.

[Carl Spackler]

He should be quicker with an ewave or call wind.

[Xenostrus]

Saying that guild skills are cheap in a duel is like saying that spells are cheap. Wizards/ clerics depend on spells and warriors/ rogues depend on guild skills. I find that pure fighters are still at a disadvantage because they have to actually go through the guild and gain there guild skills one by one. Unlike a caster who just levels and chooses which spell they want to learn.

In otherwords, hybrid professions own all.

Then you suck.
Guild skills are like any other offensive skill.
You can beat them, just need to be quicker and smarter...but....nah

Quicker? How can a profession that's reliant on two sends be quicker than a profession reliant on one?

Unless you're talking imbeds, or wands, or pre prepped spells which are all crap in a duel.

Hide maybe? Not so much show me a wizard that is 1x hide at any decent lvl and I'll tip my hat but you don't see that often.

My best bet is to get my cman off before their guild skills but remember I'm a freak and you won't find many (if any) other wizards that have 5 ranks in a cman since it's ohh 54 lvls worth of 1x CM to do so.

[Nieninque]

916 [enter]

of for those without psinet

incant 916

[AnticorRifling]

I always forget about incant. I used it once and never again heh. Yeah incant would work. When I dueled I had a macro for 916.

I would, sit, prep 916, cast, stand, 506, 912, att target.

The sit was because at the age I was dueling most warriors had mastered tackle but not warcries. So I'd sit, they'd try to tackle and be like uh he's on the ground ahole, then I'd inviso and it was go time. Same for the rogues, negated their sweep. Of course at this age I doupt that's their first move but it was fun in the lvl 25-30 range.

[Nieninque]

And that would be the smarter part kicking in.

[Jonty]

Yeah, before the duel starts... target your opponent, then incant your spells.

Duels to the death should be anything goes. Unfortunately, this also makes all duels into a general "Whoever strikes first, wins"

I don't think it's smarter I think it's more informed. I've never had a reason to ever incant anything so I'd forgotten it's inseption.

[Sean]

Way to abuse the mentally retarded.

I'm sure you would never be so bold as to assume your Bard spells would actually work in a duel. For clarity's sake I mean the minority of people Chadj's actually old enough to hit.

My Sorcerer dueled a warrior about 5 trains over him and your cs will get them everytime If you're quick enough. The guid skills do kick ass but they aren't impossible to beat. Quite the opposite. They honestly need those skills, especially going up against a caster of like level or even a little lower.

[Methais]

GS duels should give everyone a temporary boost to 10000 HP so they last more than first hit wins.

I meant the sitting down stuff to negate tackle/sweep. Thats being smart.

Yeah that was sexy stuff :) When did the incant option enter GS?

[Nieninque]

A few months ago. Back when they were trying to match Jamus's tricks on Psinet, but failing miserably.

[Sean]

When I was in voln I found one of the best ways to neutralize a warriors guild skills was symbol of calm. They can break it but it atleast gives you a little edge in the reaction time especially since it doesn't require a prep and a cast.

Not bad, wouldn't do me any good as I'm not a volner. Man I bet that pissed off some rogues and warriors heh :cool:

Back before incant I couldn't think of many ways to negate the 1 send vs 2. At least now there is one more option for people that didn't think of the less obvious routes.

[Meth]

incant is good for some situations, but Ive killed people i was hunting with by using incant, i guess it just mistargets sometimes, i killed a critter, moved a room and it targeted the guy hunting with me, so i just set macros, after all the years callin people who hunt with macros lazy :)

[Sylph]

Ive had a lot of warrior vs. warrior duels that were... nasty... long... engagements.

[allen]

Owned, period.

Sorcerers, Empaths, Clerics, and even wiards can snatch a warriors ass with CS spells, so in answer to that, we have guild skills.

It boils down to who acts first then.

I disagree. Both target their enemy. Then one gld skillz the other, or the other incants. 2 commands for each. If the caster decided to use 3 commands, thats his/her problem.

I think the sit to compete against tackle/sweep is righteous, way to use your bean Anticor.

That shoulda been fixed. If you are still getting that, you should assist, as tehy claimed it was fixed.

You do realize that this thread is 3 months old ... sans the last bump a month ago.

Nope, it showed up as new when I logged in...

..., and Allen re-opened the thread today, thats why it showed up as new to me.

I felt a need to get the dueler's arena kicking again, been so dead lately, so let's see some duels!
