Question on trample

Otis34 · 01-10-2007, 07:04 AM

On the Agi line the ability Trample says it will attack other mobs that we are "facing". Does it really mean it will only work on the ones we are directly "facing" or does it work on the encounter no matter where they are around us?

Only stuff in front of you.

Well that sucks. So what is considered in front? 180 degrees or do i need to get the mobs in a line in front of me?

it will probably be 180 like similar abilities

Yeah, seems like 180 deg as well. A simple quick re-positioning will fix the problem and have your fun. Remember, it only trample up to 4 mobs so just worry about getting 4 mobs in front of you and don't worry about the rest. But the technique to do very quick re-positioning to get MOST mobs in front of you all the time as an habit is best way to go so your defensive skills can work. You cannot parry or riposte any rear attacks for example.. So, even Sks without any trample skill still need to do quick re-positioning for best result to defend anyway. So either way, 180 deg restriction for trmaple isn't an handicap to start with.. If you are a lazy Sk to do quick re-positioning to put most mobs in front of you then go play brawler class. SMILEY
