Ok I was doin good PVPing friends until some smart guy learned the lesson of kiting me around. I need some tactics to counter this. My Lunge attack or whatever it is that makes them change to kneel or sit is practically useless it only lasts a second and with attack time it isnt long enough to get a hit in so they go to their knees and are back up and running before I can even get a follow up hit in.



What are some good tactics to counter the kiters?


Any advice would be appretiated.

Yes, it is essential that you have them on follow, ESPECIALLY ranged.

Try this:


I changed my keyboard layout but I imagine your smart enough to adapt this to your own layout.


Being a heavy FPS person I changed my move keys to the normal W A S D keys, now seeing that W is forward I also made a slot on my hotkey bar that is follow. Now, I remaped that hotkey slot to CLT+W so that when Im running forward towards an enemy I can just hit CLT and W and it will auto follow him. If you get yourself within range of melee then use this, it will keep you in melee range unless he burst runs. Let him run around all he wants then.


Also make a hotkey for your weapon. Its more effective to change out your polearm, for unarmed and use unarmed lunge ( idealy a key next to your key for unequip your weapon) because the HAM cost on unarmed lunge is a **edit** load less and also will cycle faster and has the same effect. After stunned, re hit your pole arm key and beat away!

Another option...



keep some good stims. Put em on auto follow and then hit "Burst run".Use the stims right after to help with the stat loose. Its a sink or swim move but its an option.

Hmmm maybe I will get sweepp.....



The attic was less to us from the cellar the bones like the attic let them have it let them stay in the attic. When they sometimes come down the stairs at night and stand perplexed behind the door and headboard of the bed brushing that chalky skull with chalky fingers with sounds like the dry rattling of a shutter. Thats what I sit up in the dark to say.
