Solo combat games

Troodon · 05-22-2005, 06:08 AM

Hi everyone, I find pally solo combat dull, a tedious chipping away away at mobs. The most interesting thing I do is perform a mental malthusian equation comparing my health and power against the mobs health and power and their numbers, beyond that its about as interesting as watching paint dry. So Ive come up with a little game I play when fighting group mobs, its called: "How many mobs can I take out with a single AoE". Its not really something you can play when fighting anything else but low greens, but it works like this: I carefully try to nudge down each mobs health just into a sliver of red, being careful to allow for Sanguine feedback and Crushing Anvil and then wack them all in one go with an AoE, congratulating myself on the number I can take out with one hit. So, does anyone else want to admit to having any other combat games they play? SMILEY

Hmm, we need a scoring system. How about: 1 point for each mob killed in a single AoE a bonus point per mob for killing multple mobs with Crushing Anvil. Double points for killing all the mobs from the start of the encounter with a single AoE. So far my top score is 3, but then Ive only started keeping track. Im sure and others can do better... edit: Yay, 3 goblins started the encounter, three goblins killed at the end of the ecounter. So one point per goblin and thats doubled: 6 points! Yes, Im bored. :p

theres a cap on the number of encounters you can be in at once, 5 or 6 i believe. and actually, theres a cap on the number of mobs you can hit with your AE... 5 or 6 i believe, lol. which ive done, sometimes i kill antelopes only using AEs just because.

Indeed, kind of limits the fun :p , but still can anyone hit maximum points with the ecounter limit of 6, that is 24 points?

Ahh fantastic post.

Another interesting game I played was in Deathfist Citadel......If you enter at about level 43 and have very high agility you can get ALL the grey mobs (obviously let one nuke go on each group) from the towers that open to attack you at the same time. You can get an entire screen full of greys not hitting you for ages. Very boring and entertaining at the same time - SMILEY

There is a hard coded limit of 5 groups/encounters attacking you at once. If you try to aggro more groups or individual mobs than this you get a message stating you must deal with the encounters you currenty have before you can engage any more.

That 5 can be 5, inividual solo mobs, 5 groups of 6 mobs, or any combintation. 5 'encounter entities'.

If you want a funny screen shot, go into Blood Skull Valley (after access quest) and watch the various waves roll in 20-30 at a time. About the time you get half way through a mob the next wave comes. I was helping a buddy finish his heritage with an ALT and 5 other party members and you couldn't see a party member from all the orcs. Would be a fast way to get orc slayer status, kill, zone out, zone in, kill again.

I can't wait to go back and hit the level 17 heritage I skipped over there and do a few screen shots just for fun.

Thanks,
Kalen

Thanks Gifalas - from memory I think there was only 4 (maybe 5) towers you have to open in DC = 4/5 group encounters SMILEY
