Subject: RE: Kill Stealing


Best thing that i did to a kill stealer was to an enchanter in HighHold ..
he was charming the high level orcs and after my group had beaten about 1/3
its health from it and taking them to a quiet spot to finish em ... so i
followed him and cast cancel magic =).. . Next second it was beating the
cr*p outta this poor guy but after the 3rd time he got the message!

Heres something else....

We were in South Karana fighting birdies...my group was fighting, and a
wizard comes along trying to steal the kill. How to deal with that? We all
took off auto attack, and let the bird attack her when she tried to kill
steal. She didn't last long <snickers>

Another thing I've done, playing my Magician, I would click on a spell,
make
it look like I'm casting, and the KSer would attack the bird...not knowing
that we never attacked it. Since birds are only aggressive if attacked, we
watched this KSer get pummeled to the ground. Needless to say, she left
after that =)

haha!

Ok, so then 6, kill-stealing Wizards can group together and do over 1,000
point of damage in a matter of seconds? It is better the way it is. Just
remember to train Dvinn to those kill stealers and you'll be alright ;)
(always worked for me in CB)
