Thread: DOTs? just how good are they ?
population regulation committee
As a MTK/MCM, I sometimes attack every mob around me , alternating between fire & poison. Then I start attacking them 1 by 1. By the time I get to the 4th mobs, they've lost half their health....by mob number 7, they have little health left. I do this mainly when solo'ing though, as it's not so useful in groups as the mobs die quickly from other attacks..
okay so i tried this last night, i fought 3 fights without losses, but then the lag monster creeped up on me and since this strategy requires speed, i ended up having to last ditch on the last fight. Anyway, its simple, what you do is start off in melee range, people are stupid and will think that you are some noob with a pistol that doesn't know how to use it. First off you pistol whip for KD, then immediately paralyze, then you apply debuffs such as thyroid rupture, hemmorage, and shock. By this time paralyze is worn off and they have started to hack at you a bit. This is when you root, go out to 35m and DOT them, from then on, its a waiting game pretty much, you can use LOS to really piss them off and watch em tick away, you can keep them rooted and just keep distance as your doing around 700 damage per shot and another 600 damage per tick, or whatever your preference may be. But with this strategy, its hard to loose. Warning though, if you get some high lag, your screwed, but thats true with just about any temp.
Enjoy!
