Good 1v1 Thread!

[Raveren]

Yes this is super buggy.


But aside from that Star is a great player. I wouldn't fault him for just leaving a burg fight since most will just hips away and run.

Exactly. It's not worth fighting a burg. You have to sit there dealing with the frequent stuns and mezzes, the dust, and their incredibly stupid 30 second evade buff, all for them to just hips and run away. The next patch will make this even worse.

As far as the other stealth class goes, those 4 legged creatures... I was actually surprised to see that there's actually a few good ones out there. Unfortunately I don't remember their names, but they're the only ones I've lost a 1vs1 against on my Rune Keeper.

Agreed. Burgs have absolutely no right to expect 1v1s from anyone. I don't 1v1 burgs--ever. There's simply no point: DiTE, DiTE, DiTE, stun, stun, stun, mez, stun DiTE. And, if you ARE winning, they HiPS and it's over--no infamy for joo. I find it completely bizarre that any burg would criticize any creep for running when losing a 1v1. I've never once known a burg not to HiPS when in trouble. When burgs start taking the death in the interest of deference to a fight well fought rather than HiPsing and leaving, only then can they criticize a creep for running to NPCs or anything else.

[Spwarrior]

That is true many burgs hips out but there are a few good burgs on landy that do not even use cds to win. It is up to you if you do not think you can beat a burg to not go for it but why not take on the challenge?

On a 1v1 note had a nice 1v1 with bupkiss and mawz and the warg pack.

[scrumtrelescent]

had a couple fun 1v1s against Gaelbo tonight...got my butt kicked, but definitely learned a few things.

[mikejeff]

Great 1v1s. A bunch more showed up later, including neren, the person who posted before me, Salendor (sp) among others. Thanks for the fights, I'm almost at rank.

I'm so jealous! I would love to 1v1 Dine or SSS, let alone both.


Re: burg fights. If you know the players well (personally or from an experience), you will know which burgs will hips away and which won't. Anasasi/Nyxx here for example will never bail out of a fair fight, at least from my experience.

[mikejeff]

I tried to 2v1 them and failed miserably... lol I think that's impossible but yes fighting them 1v1 was fun

[leekofthewood]

I just wanted to give thanks to Buppkiss for not attacking once I went LD tonight as well as Nandrolone for not continuing our fight once a random defiler came along healing.

I had a few interesting comments today about 1v1 interruptions so sadly I really have nothing to add to this thread any further save on thing.

To the rage loggers, I came back looking. No dice, maybe next time.

Was alot of fun over there. Thanks for all who respected the 1v1s, learned alot.

You caught me after SSD and Dine got me a few times. I was too cocky the first time SSD blew me up (And you Sir did just that), and just ran in there expecting to win that without issues. That was way to close to fight reavers w/o a bubble and i didnt want to flop and wait out the charge in a setup 1v1...but i thought about it in the rubber match,lol.

I learned and got my slow off way faster when you came around I need to get you all ic before the charge to stand a chance w/o cds.

Thanks SSD, Dine, Toothless, various spiders (Sorry!) and yourself that was alot of fun.

[The_Observer]

but hey, once you are in a fight what use is hips other then to escape?

Off the top of my head, getting champs out of CB. *nod nod*

Man, I want Howlers.

CB doesn't wear off out of combat, only some of its buffs (combat speed and reflect).

[The_Observer]

That's what I need to go away. lol I could care less about the rest of it. It's that damn reflect.

Rage, seriously? We have a decent conversation, and you call it rage.... I should have the confused smiley here, but I'm not confused...

For future reference Leekofthewood, "Good Night" means I'm not coming back on, I'm going to sleep, I got work in the morning! I would have said something like "see you out there" or "meet me at the flag pool" if was going back out there to fight.

[The_Observer]

meet me at the flag pool.

You always tell me that, but I'm suspicious of going...

Mainly because I have no idea where you're talking about.

[Baslin]

Thanks for the 1v1s Cynthri, Gaelbo, Neren, and whoever else I missed. It was a nice break. I'd have stayed out longer, but they pile on the work during the last two quarters of your MA. Hope to be back out there soon.

Thanks, too, to anyone who fought me and SSD 2v?.

Cel/Ech/other burg - dangerous trio/quartet you had roaming around. Definitely not a favorable engagement for two reavers!

(BTW, any "rage" is at my mountain of work due before I graduate with my MA. I don't rage about LOTRO. )

Have a great day, everyone.

I'd like to fight either of you on my champ some night but I rarely see either of you. Last time I tried to fight SSD we got some hunter interference so we backed off. Not sure I would win or even come close

I've been patrolling candy mountain lately in the evening. If I see you on during the day I am working and mostly AFKish so I sorta run and hide from solo fights.

Maybe some creeps could make CM a part of their "flight path" more frequently and we could all get into some brawls up there.

[Starkraft]

Trophy for Cynthri!


I carved this likeness of you out of pure freep bone and covered it in Essence of Oakrath, to give it that earthy, bearish color! Then I ran it across the backs of the golden fleece wargs to give it that really nice shine!

Enjoy!

For sure, I'd like to find you out there.

My play time is still fairly limited due to grad. work, but I'll try to make some rounds through CM while I wander.

[Raveren]

Sorry about those one-shotters, Grupchuck!

And Fardochee... I almost had you, but my power was so drained after just taking Buppkiss!

[JebboGrenfoot]

cheers to borntown for a fun throwdown in the ford. I would've had you with if you hadn't popped that man heal!

[leekofthewood]

Very nice 1v1 this morning eviltooth!

Getting stunned 5 times in a 1v1 is unprecedented. Thank goodness for DR.

And your little tooty toot?

The other day I was stunned by freeps 5 times in rapid succession. Being grey barred the whole time, DR did little for me.

I was also stunned 3 times in succession on my freep. Being grey barred the full time, DR did little for me.

[-Sylvan-Shadow-]

Had some good 1v1's with Ugmog up near TR.
Also Postoffice on his spider and reaver.

Also was witness to an epic 1v1 that lasted a looooooong time with Ugmog and Radar.

[Faisal]

I had a nice 1v1 with Radarastriel.


Even though I lost, as I expected, I was SO HAPPY with how I did, I've never ever imagined to do this good against a good RK on my spider, let alone Radarastiel (IMO he's got to be one of the best)






p.s. good use of Master of Writs there, Rad, that skill is a killer!

[Raveren]

Hmm, I want to fight your spider now.
