THIS is the soluntion to kiting! --- If our warcry freezes someone in their tracks --- they shouldn't be able to run out of range!

"Your target is out of range"

"Your target is out of range"

"Your target is out of range"

But, I thought I froze the bastage in his TRACKS!!!!

Not really fencer related, more brawler.

Ya think?

Well.... since Fencers have Warcry1 at a minimum, and use it --- I'd say it's a Fencer issue as well.

But it's a broad subject dealing with all melee proffesions. Would make more sense on the brawler boards.

I posted it there as well ---

kali-

get a friggin life--do you not have anything better to do than police the swg fencer board?

If he wants to post about image designer hairstyles--Let him!

if the topic is discussion worthy--people will discuss it!--if not--the topic will die w/o your oh-so-intellectual input!

and by the way--

thanks for the tip about warcry I'm sure that will be very helpful to new FENCERS

holy cow i meant zeeemperials not you kali--sorry bout that.

my kingdom for an edit button

Warcry is a major gamble in PVP . It applies to all of us; because we all have the ability to use WarCry1.

Erryk,

I meantioned Warcry, because I only recently started using it - based on what Fencers, in this forum, posted. (ie that they did find using it quite helpful).

Also, one of the most commonly stated problems for us, is the inability to successfuly fight a ranged opponent while he runs away,firing shots off, safely, just out of our range of effectiveness. Well--- Warcry is a built IN solution to this problem. We don't need thrown weapons ( I dont want to waste the hotkeys), or a "tripping maneuver" (just another thing to have bugged AND another hotkey) -- all we need is for Warcry to work as the combat chat describes "Your ferocious warcryfreezes a so and so in his tracks" --- So-- freeze the sucker in his tracks already - he SHOULDN'T be able to run away like he is now!

Very simple answer - to a very problematic problem.

yes kali, I agree wholeheartedly--i had no beef w/ your post. my post was directed at zeeemperials

I first read this thread yesterday but wanted to sleep on it. Kali, this may just be somethign the Devs would go for. It sounds very reasonable, esp considering the text message associated with it. I'll speak with the Devs about it, and see if they would be willing to impliment a short "pause" (5 seconds or so?) in the target's ability torun. That may not sound very long, but 5 seconds would go a long way to helping us close the gap between us and a kiter, but does not guarantee it, which would be unfair to ranged.

I think 5 seconds would be a great compromise! That. and the fact that Warcry's success is variable.

And while other special tripping moves, or thrown weapons have been proposed before- well, we have so many moves as it is, I personally, being a non-typist, need things as simple as possible!

Seena : )

5 secondroot and a 10 second inability to act. Pretty powerful combination, but if they did that, they'd probably demand a timer on warcry 1 & 2, would that be worth it? On the up side,I could really see this leveling the playing field in pvp.
