dueling strategy

[earnest2]

<DIV>Hello everyone! I'm wondering whats the best way to control a character during a duel? Should it be all keyboard or keyboard and mouse? Since I use my mouse for usual play, seems I might do better in a duel by driving with my mouse and casting CA's with key board. Any input is appreciated and have a very nice EQ2 day! : )</DIV>

<DIV>It's something that you have to suit to your playstyle.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I find that against other melee-based characters, I do best using KB to move my toon, and mouse-click to fire skills...but I'm also the only one I've seen as a 'zerker play the way I do in a duel....a pattern I picked up from rogues in WoW, and dagger-users in L2 that tries to take advanatage of the fact that your opponent needs to be in a certain position compared to you (facing you, or behind you) for a large number of his skills to be effective, when you're fighting fighter/scout based toons...and the rapid movement also tends to disorient and confuse a portion of casters.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>It generally works well, too...at least against a preponderance of archetypes and subclasses...pallies still give me more trouble than I feel they should, and casters still have a more-than-fair advantage, as do some healer classes...but, from what I understand, ALL 'zerkers have issues fighting the classes that give me the most trouble, so I don't think it's so much an issue with my playstyle as an imbalance in head-to-head combat.</DIV>
