Hello all , time for another boring ramble on my part (yes im bored at work sitting doing nothing ) So todays topic is going to be Hunting outdoors ! Yes ! thats right , the fine Art of hunting outdoors .
We as players have lost this touch , this fine finese of a skill . We have grown too comftrable with Missions and the hack n slash aspect of it. Run in , agro everything , Heal , kill everything , loot . Rinse repeat . We ( for the most part) have forgot how to pull monsters to us and our team in the wild . We treat these things like it was a mission and blindly run in and agro anything and everything and bring it to our team . Which , 9 out of 10 times kill us .
We have grown to comftrable in the knowlege that our toons are uber and can handle whatever can be thrown at us , or that our team can do the same . While this may be true in missions , it holds no water in the wild now . We need to relearn how to hunt and pull monsters and what are jobs are within each profesion in regards to what we do to help the team . A doc heals , and enforcer tanks , a soldier gives dmg and MK sheild when agroed , mp with pets , agents and their roots ... so on and so forth . We can not Blindly Run into the middle of a crowd and try to kill the Boss of the camp as if it was Tara .
Tactics : If first you dont succed , try try again .
My guild and I went out and hunted Uniques last night . It was a blast to get our butts wiped by polymorhed lunitic ! THose panthers are funny to listen to and scared the hell outa me when they came roaring out of no where and riped me to shreds ! Most of the team Died , but it was a blast . We already knew we had no chance , we were just killing time till the real event .
The key to Killing a boss mob is to find out where it is weakest . Take the pest for example . Weak mob in genral with an area nuke of 2k ish . BUT his minnions are a pain in the arse . That is his strong point . How do u beat em ? Tacics , Plain and simple . Take out the Pest puss and the Pest goes down like a fine wine . I wont tell you what worked for us , But as i stated above , it seems that the best things work in difrent ways . Just because one class's nanos wont work on em dosnt mean a difrent class's nanos wont work . Strange logic But it is very true .
Lets all learn how to hunt outside again . It is a beutifull world out therre and i am enjoying my time spent in it
Any comments about tactics is welcome .
