I actually had one of em down to under 20 percent when they owned me. How is it possible for there to be skilled bot groups on Nagafen?

It's not skilled bot groups, it's just horrible, horrible players that think they're gonna down a group of bots and take a bag full of tokens. They run in, get tauntlocked, and die a vicious, humiliating death. ( I died to Xiaoshy once and dinged his guild.

)

On my t8 toon I've only set foot in KoS once, to get my harvesting up, and it was sorta like walking through a ghost town. Kinda pathetic to know people are back up there camping now that they've got their levels.

Grind groups are really the only thing I can think of to suggest for 60-65, try to go to places like Acad in gfay, Nest, Den, New Tunaria... If you can get a level 80 or two to come mentor you (and I don't see why you wouldn't be able to if you're guilded, just takes some begging usually) you'd blow through all of those zones in minutes a day.

The Freeporters are busy raiding the Riliss post. I heard there was an x3 in attendance.

Justingrell's too busy zerging and training (and failing after losing fame) to know where he is.

I guess I'll keep trying KOS, I didn't know it was going to be like that with all red players trying to gank gray noobs.

im sorry to heat that, this is something i tried to point out, (very badly apparently), in one of my many longwinded posts. Back in the old days sinking sands were no limit pvp level range, 70s were killing mid - late 40s, same in Barren Sky same in KOS, doesnt matter where you go, thers always a bigger fish.

On old server no one had explained to me the concept of aa, so i took my 26 mystic to Bonemire to fly around and get aa, got killed twice in 5 mins by 70s, bet i was more of a gray noob than you lol.

but you think your getting it bad or i got it bad, feel sorry for the poor exiles getting one shotted by reds on both sides by people every 2 minutes!

Am I doing something wrong, or are wizards really that powerful against SKs in PVP?

Thanks for great advice, I actually hadn't thought about New Tunaria, that would be perfect for me to get over the hump I think.

Actually, I'm guilded in a level 58 guild with 6 people in it, just trying to get over 60 for that guild to get better horses, then will move on I think.

I am a nub when it comes to casters in general, and wizards specifically.

What do I do to overcome this manashield?

Faabio · 12-12-2007, 12:42 PM

uhh, stifle them than HT them!

Or burn through them really fast and waste all their mana!

Or pumice stone? I'm not sure, I exiled before they were introduced

As I stated in a different thread, I'm an FP running into the exact same problems in the advent of Tier 3. Qeynos seems to own every fucking zone except when the FP zerg rolls through DLW -- it's ridiculous.

I'm not sure if Qeynos just uses cheaper "guerilla" tactics because they think they're outnumbered (lol), or the FP majority is in T8, or FP just never fucking organizes for anything and most players just surf the zerg, or what the fuck is wrong. Like others have noted, almost every FP I see is solo, while nearly every Q I see is in a group. Fuck, I peeked in Caves last night and even the level 10s were grouped.

I'm seriously considering consolidating all my money on my Coercer and betraying into an Illusionist. I lose the hilarious reactive kills, but at least I might be able to get a fucking group.
