How to deal with runners in Team Arenas

just a wee bitty while ago i was in TA with a guild mate and some friends. we were 3 monks and one necro. not much dmg output. we killed the whole team but the Warrior. the warrior uses endure pain and breeze. and starts running.

we chase for a bit. we stop. My guildy suggests we just start a dance club. they will get bored eventually (we have a lot of patience, it took us 16 minutes to win the battle before).

we lure her into a false sense of security. she joins our party. we slowly move into a circle around her. she can't escape. then we kill her! mwahahahahahaha!!!

Shouldn't you have a snare anyway if you're in TA?

why would we want a snare? we have many hours we can wait. time is everyones snare. no one can escape it. no one can beat it. time catches up with everyone.

anyway i was just trying to anti-everything. the monks were all healers.

Why take a snare? They are invaluable (especially for that one monk that thinks running through your team to heal from behind you is a good idea).

This is easily the dumbest way to deal with runners. Not only that but the W/Mo above was hardly a runner. A runner usually packs traps/slowdown hex, multiple speed boosts and multiple defensive stances.

So your solution is this:

Stand around for 10 minutes or more and then attempt to body-block them ?? ( all for an extra 100~ Faction )


I think I'll just stick to bringing my own Speed Boost / Condition Snare / Hex Snare and get more FACTION as a result

Try bringing Imagined Burden instead of crap like Soul Barbs, next time...

Beleive it or not, some people play PvP for fun, not for faction.

How fun is standing around waiting for a runner to come to you..??

I'm all for fun but chasing 1 griefer around an arena for more than 5 minutes when you could've just moved onto another battle is just plain silly. You've even more incentive to do this if your playing for fun.

My point stands

Running 3 healing monks in TA o_O
