Yichi · Dec 12, 2005, 08:32 PM // 20:32

Umm i never noticed thsi before, but last night im doign thsi showing a guildmate, and the spiders use distracting shot now.... they never used too.

Racthoh · Dec 12, 2005, 08:42 PM // 20:42

Hmm, that would complicate matters. Sure it wasn't Savage Shot? Can anyone else confirm this just to be sure?

stefan16 · Dec 12, 2005, 10:02 PM // 22:02

file down....

by the way, i i go fight up till entrance, lure 3 monster 1 by 1, at the 3rd or after him there comes like 40 spiders at once? is that normal or what...?

(havent seen movie)

Racthoh · Dec 12, 2005, 10:37 PM // 22:37

The spiders do come like that, it is normal.

In the midst of a run, cleared the front of the tunnel... never hit by a distracting shot. Still doable.

i think the monster ai does something differently when there is more than 1 threat present. for example, when i farm grawl outside of port sledge alone, they never used signet of agony. however, when i did it with a pet or a guildie, they would do the signet + plague touch combo.

my thoughts are that monsters are less aggressive with only 1 threat present. racthoh, when you show people, do you ever let them fight alongside of you? yichi, can you confirm distracting shot?

i've done this run alongside a friend before and i didn't notice any distracting shots.

One time I had someone along with me for the entire time and we both survived quite handily. He was using an axe, and me with my sword. Neither one of us was using any spells.

I know the Grawls will use Signet of Agony when you're close to being dead, or when two or more targets are around them. Annoying things with also sometimes use Chilblains as well for the 7 degen transfer.

On me they never use distracting shot. They use savage shot when i forget to get on Watchful Spirit, otherwise all they do is called shot, apply poison, and healing spring.

Yichi · Dec 13, 2005, 03:34 PM // 15:34

Ill see if i can get pics, but yes it was distracting and savage shot, dunno maybe just a glitch

MoNo · Dec 13, 2005, 04:00 PM // 16:00

Dude use sever art and gash if they through up Melandru's Resiliance use wild blow it disrupts stance so they don't regen from bleeding or deep wound

my skills are as follow

i use stance sheild north east of thristy +45hp -2
vamp sord
i have a sup asob on too
no need for dol sig and wy take more dmg w/ you makes for much faster runs

MoNo · Dec 13, 2005, 04:05 PM // 16:05

yes they use dis shot still np lure the fist 3 out and kill let all the spiders come out then run away ( so that their h spring isn't on top of each other) let the spiders spread out ,then go in
i'll show anyone takes about 40 to 50 mins per run spiders should only be able to try and use hspring once unless you are fighting 2 or 3 beside each other
ign mono lific share people share

Filefront if the only hosting site I'm familiar with. If anyone knows of any others I'll upload it to there since that site has been down for a while.

After looking at this thread, I tried this as well. I'm one of those people (some say cowards) that believe good defense beats good offense... so after several experiments I ended up with this build:
Strength 11 + 1 + 3
Tactics 10 + 1
Axe M 10 + 1
The reason I have 15 in strength is so that I can keep dolyak signet up indefintely. Most people would probably put it in axe for more damage. I also carry a minor rune strength helm for running until I get to safe zones away from the skales (+75 hp for 1 less second of sprint). The only reason I went with axe over sword is because of the lower adrenaline skills (to beat wastrel's worry easier) and just the fact I had a zealous axe with +7 shelter. I also use a -2 in stance shield.
Skills:
Sprint (obviously)
Flurry (adrenaline building, stance for -2 on the shield)
Dolyak Signet (+40 armor all the time, makes me really slow)
Watch Yourself (+20 armor when I need it)
Healing Signet
Cleave (low adrenaline +dmg attack)
Executioner's strike (the other adrenaline +dmg attack)
Shields Up (Great, probably the best, defense against rangers).

Fighting strategies are the same... I use shields up when I'm pulling (no movement penalty, faster pulling) and also when I use healing signet... with the two other armor boosting skills the spiders will still do 0 damage even when using healing sginet. I shouldn't be taking damage while not using healing signet anyways so the only damage I ever get is from poison (and occasional healing signets without shields up). Even though it has the 10 energy cost zealous axe (or sword, with or without flurry) with no energy based attack means I would have nearly full energy all the time. Also, having shields up also makes this (I think) a little more lag proof.

2nd new download link also down.. still cant see it!

El_Inferno · Dec 14, 2005, 11:22 AM // 11:22

no the rapidshare one works well .. just click on FREE and you have to wait some secs then it downloads.

anyway me got a question @ Racthoh:

how do you interrupt the healing of the spiders? in the vid it looks like you interrupt it but i checked the skills you use .. nonne of them got this ability (to interrupt something). me confused :P

Numa Pompilius · Dec 14, 2005, 11:51 AM // 11:51

Linkid: You can kill the spiders with that? I took my considerably more offensive axe-build down there an spent fifteen minutes bashing three of them, and in the end managed to kill _one_ before getting bored and giving up...
