Good 1v1 Thread!

[PF-Grumpy]

thanks Eoblod for the romp near rop. I'm still tryin to work on movement and skill execution, so any nonsteamrolling practice is appreciated. /salute

Yeah, they were nice fights. I won't want to run into you when you get a couple ranks!

Rutroh. Finally got a uninterrupted 1v1 with no NPCs.

There is something very satisfying about killing each other at the same time, no one goes to the victory circle empty handed.

[Arvaen]

TY Arctic for another good fight. I realized after the fact that I was probably near the banner, so my bad for that. I did tell my LM to not put SI on me, though. /bow and thanks for always fighting me when so many won't!

Heh, I'll admit that that's what I was waiting for. It was a fun fight anyways and I hope to win next time around. ^^

Also, thanks to Cynthri, Arrival, Eo, and Xelo for the fights yesterday as well.

[mikejeff]

Aye, first time my mouse decided to die... that's why I quit fighting at the end

Second fight... you had me real scared there, lol

[Jungleghost]

Thanks Eo for the 1 v 1, I almost had you then all my skills stopped working, also thanks to the freep that came up early in our fight and left realizing we were having a sith vs jedi moment.

And thanks to the hunter that came in right at the end when my skills were not working to kill me off, pfft :P


Will see you for another 1 v 1 soon! (I think Invisus was sad I didn't call you out since he was chasing you beforehand lol).

Sars.

Yeah, I was wondering what was going on in that first fight. Thought you were catching some lag.

Throw away all those cordless mice, it isn't worth it.

Sorry about the one this evening, I had grabbed a dress for the Picture and was on my way back. Didn't want to miss it

[Baslin]

Thanks for the 1v1s tonight.

Slightly less thanks for those who I chased all over for infamy (you may have done better if you fought).

Until tomorrow...

/salute

(Oldbones, hopefully we can find a 1v1 sometime. That first fight was fated to be interrupted. I tried to find you again after you chucked a javelin at me, but wanted to regen my power first. WDN fights are impossible enough with full power. )

[The_Observer]

(I think Invisus was sad I didn't call you out since he was chasing you beforehand lol).

lol It's true. A greenie called out your location around Lugz and I went in the direction of Luc's old flightpath, while Sars went the other way.

Sars found you first and by that time, I had already reached TR. (I'm just that fast.)

Then I finally found you and had a good couple of 1v1s with ya! Twice, though, I made the error of not paying attention to what buffs you had on and tried to pounce you while you were immune to stuns. I'm rusty.

Yeah they were good fights, I was mad I lost the 1st one but was happy with a tie in the second.

This isn't to say that I ~should~ have won or lost but I have been really frustrated at my own noobish mistakes lately. I keep forgetting to turn CBR off, Forgetting to turn fervour on, Kiting when I am bleeding, popping horns when creeps have blue dot buffs. I mean I'm getting blown-up with creeps leaving the fights at half health sometimes.


It's funny how fights go when we don't make mistakes.

[The_Observer]

Yep. A mini was beating on me yesterday, and I was thinking, wth, then looked down and noticed that not only had I not power-drained it, but I had silenced it either.

Luckily I noticed before I was past the event horizon.

I haven't seen or heard of you on your champ in a while, so I imagine you're a bit rusty like I am.

[Ivaneus]

Rusty? Yeah I'd have to agree.

I managed to sneak all the way up behind him as he was watching a pair of NPCs, switch my aura (roars), drop a banner (roars), eat food, and then dropped my Banner of Terror and attacked as he decided that now was the time to pull the two NPC orcs.

And may I make the suggestion that kiting a Warleader only hurts you since it gives them space for getting off inductions and time for shouts to cooldown?

But it was actually a very good fight. If you'd gotten lucky with crits in a few places I would've gone down. I also did managed to avoid a stun or two which helped out a lot.

And I ended up in a bunch of spars with creeps, some wargs, a Reaver, a Buppkiss, and two Warleaders. And if you want to finish a Warleader vs Warleader spar, ban healing.

[Ivaneus]

Rauva; you are a testament to how easy RKs actually are to play and be successful with. Deliberately avoiding engaging until the Banner of Terror was gone after asking for a 1v1* is pretty conservative and safe. That pretty much describes how you fight. Oh and when Oprah and I ganged up on you it was unarranged. When Dine and I did, that was arranged, but only because I wanted you off the path lowbies would be taking from Grams to Lugz.

I'll see you again at Rank 9.

Revex, Great fights. I was really excited about getting you after I got you to burn Man heal and was very happy when the Minstrel did not engage. Then the LM jumped on me. Thank you for backing off when that happened. You didn't have to, but it was a courteous gesture. The kiting maneuver you pulled after the LM was taken care of and I was lagging and you were at 70 health with the Destiny Point Regen buff on, on the other hand, was not.

Mark, you just learned an important lesson about high ranked Warleaders. Power Drain will not save you! Nor will Strength of Morale, or Wisdom of the Council, or spamming CC (thank you for full DR by the way). Unfortunately for you the LM versus Warleader fight is lopsided in favor of the Warleader. Still, nice effort after Rev backed out and I'm glad you didn't try to run for the hills and escape.

And Eo; sorry we didnt get a rematch there, but I'm sure we'll bump into each other again.

And to all the various Hunters who have Burned Hot on me from stealth in the past few weeks;
Congratulations! I hope you continue to make use of the Hunter's skillset to pursue 1v1s even after the next patch goes live and HS damage tanks again. I'll still be looking for you. Both before and after Rank 9. Enjoy it while you can.


*I'm assuming that jumping up and down is the signal for "I want a 1v1" and not "If you don't have a warg pack jump" or something like that.

I'd use an eagle on you and your tone might change.

If LMs would stop using cats and ravens, they might see what a puddle of goo they can turn WLs, BAs, Spiders and Defilers into. But they wont use eagles.

No problem! I don't like 1v1s during the day anyways since I have to tab out for work. I left your area and found a BA standing in a fire trap, but Snowpaw and his pal didnt want to see that happen. They jumped me as I went around the rock to wait the trap out.

I have a sincere question. Why would you ever expect anyone to fight you in you banner if they had a choice (as in positioning themselves away from it)?

I only ask as playing a minstrel, I most certainly wouldn't fight you in your banner if I had room to move out of it without pulling NPCs/running into other creeps, etc.

[Ivaneus]

The eagle does . . . extra flanking and a self rez? That's not going to be as much of an inconvenience as you might think. Oh, and so far I've always been able to kill the LM's pet when I've wanted to so we'll see just how much difference the eagle makes.

Constant interrupts. It's like a burg's addle without the lasting induction debuff. It would make heals very difficult to get off while it was alive. LMs can also combat summon now if they trait for it. So the LM could re-summon if they needed to (although most LMs I know don't use that trait - I happen to <3 it).

Awwwwww... you went offline.

[PF-Grumpy]

Constant interrupts.

Constant. You'd be cussing for sure.

Edit to add (I'd also CC only in order to heal the birdie)

[leekofthewood]

Well, that's that. Good 1v3 Ugmog. Class horn 4tw!

[Ivaneus]

Yeah, well that's what happens when you fight in front of the last creep keep while the freepnami is coming, people show up.

I really need to remember to change my Banner to "DoNotDisturb" when I get into 1v1s.

[The_Observer]

I really need to remember to change my Banner to "DoNotDisturb" when I get into 1v1s.

Yeah, but how many of us play with "names on"?

I don't think I've ever selected a banner or rk stone or lm pet or whatever unless someone told me to because there was a funny name.

But I get what you're saying. I'm just making banter. lol

[Forza24]

To try to balance out the fight and make it challenging?

A minstrel against a WL (especially below rank 9) is really a Die vs 1 if the minstrel has a clue on how to play his class for pvp.
