Some of you know, I have been putting in time to get better at pk in this game. Although I am not the best, I wanted to share many things that I have learned that might help others enjoy maging in PK I will be speaking as a young mage, and not a top in the event. I am not a tutor, but I am happy to help in any way I can. If anyone has differing or additional tips, let me know! Sharing is caring <3 Of course, almost all of this is just my opinion! <b>Survivability If you have less than Sam vita, expect to die 1-hit, always. This expectation helps to understand a few things. - Healing to "full" is far less important than healing rapidly (you die 1 hit no matter what) - Sooth is great, food is better - Use a heal as a targeter to find invis rogues hunting you (often they are fast) - If you hit anything that feels like a potential invis person, eat/sooth... it'll save your life - Highly recommend being able to cast with a mouse, even if you mainly play keyboard style. Things like quick dozes off dis's, or quick heals on poets <b>Contributing - Anything that can assist the Poet burden - Heal poets - ASV'ing - SC (if sam) but don't vex * If you KNOW you can vex + 1 hit, go for it, but do not spam vex - Doze on aethers - You are so likely to die, try not to "hold" a doze for too long - Good targets - Poets who just HB'd (they either need a dis, or stuck for 11s) - Almost anyone who is just dis'd - Isolated players *You will learn some are better than others, an isolated warrior is likely not worth the doze but an isolated rogue may be (opinion) - Attacks - Better off saving HF's than dozes. Small HFs that are unlikely to 1 hit are great for final executions on heal outs. You are unlikely 1-hitting anyone anyway, patient and assist the final kill on heal outs *If you are confident you can 1-hit, do it!! - You can zap to undoze someone - Vita attacks and HFs work on your own team when slept, so caution! <b>Awareness Items - Carry Scrolls of invocation, protection and red potions. Even if you don't need them, support your tops between rounds. They absolutely can be the difference. - Have max of either Acorn or Meat scrap, ideally both - I carry 3 pipes and my main pipes are always starting at 100 Support - Teammates who are poisoned -- especially invis -- cure them! Maintain the stealth! - Learn what all alignment dispells look like Of course, there are so many styles and ways to contribute, these are just a handful things I have found helpful as I continue to learn. ~Velka | |
