It's recommended to take quick res skills to prevent foes from killing the hero before he can res.

Paragon/Rit with [Lively was Naomei] and [We Shall Return!] work best, due to the fact that you can make them hold the ashes before hand, zone, shout, and drop the ashes, pretty much instant res at near full hp and energy ^^

Edit: If you're farming something (eg. Nuking) and just as they're about to die, you flag your heroes through the portal, they can get free exp, and quite a bit too.

your wrong about the kowtow in the dragon arena. If someones running to kowtow you, you can beat them to it by not moving then when theyre close then activing imperial majesty. Trust me, its got nothing to do with skill activation times.

The only one I knew there was the trees being able to block dragon blasts. I didn't know about elementalists having an advantage, though... Looking forward to tomorrow!

Should this be moved to Sardelac? Seems like a project everyone is putting their ideas into?

ups, [auspicious incantation] is an enchantment.

no offense but the build you linked to based on that combo is very bad

LDoA wasn't a title... until someone actually got level 20 in pre-searing =o.

Unfortunately, it only works on your screen. I've done it side by side with a friends computer, and I wasn't moving on his screen.

Seems like a no-brainer on game mechanics.

Next, I have some discoveries about the Dragon Arena, for all you zkey farmers our there

Trees, the posts in the middle, and the stairwells on the side all can obstruct Dragon Blasts. Use these strategically to catch your opponent way off guard.

Objects block stuff. Nothing new here.

Lastly, the best choices for going into DA is either a sin or an ele, because their animation is about 1/40th of a second faster than other classes (meaning they always win Kowtos 1v1).

Going to call BS on this one until someone shows some proof.

Agreed with Shane + this is cool. :3

Yea, me and my friend tried repeatedly to enter the dragon arena and managed to end up on opposite teams, and we tried the KowTow thing (me as an ele, him as a ranger) it makes no difference, as it seemed to be random which one of us was knocked down if we both went to KowTow eachother, I didn't always win (according to your theory, I should've as I'm an ele, and he's a ranger)

Myth...Busted!

I think the animation does make a difference when you do the KowTow move, however, there are other factor like LAG! is in the way, so even if you use sin or ele, it might not proof to be the fastest if you have a rubber band holding you back.

It is true. Just time it with a timer.

Removing your weapons & offhands also lower the frames on dragon blasts by a few miniseconds.
