Leaper tactics

[repoarto]

Hello folks ^^


Asked yesterday in pvp forum experiences with leaper barbs..(only one reply and that was matt, thx) ...they arent very talkative there.
Tactics how to fight, basics i know like terrain and use of normal leap before leap attack.

Some information about it thou, like that funny efect against mosters, they are all bashed backwards, with current slvl the bash range is 16 yards ^^ how could i use that to my benefit? :) Does that effect also in pvp? I cant get to my computer yet (in work atm^^)

What char classes/builds will cause most head aches to my leaper?
What to look out while dueling with other chars, cause i dont have much mid lvl dueling experience and thats why im counting on "gurus" help. Here is many people who knows what they are doing in those bloody dueling fields :P

Thanks for every tip of information you share with me and others

Characters that'll be a pain in your *** :

Zons. A good jabber would hurt, bowy's you stand no chance against. CS zons...that's going to sting.

Sorcs - if a sorc gets hit with leap attack you probably deserve the ear. They're really mobile.

Whirl barbs : Depending what they use, they will probably eat you if they catch you on the ground. If they're 2h you'll still probably win.

1handed charger pala's : Some of them can put up pretty good numbers and have a healthy block rate.

1handed anything will be a pain unless you do a ton of short little jumps, but unless they have negative fhr it wont work well, most 1handers do win the fights but dont get any ears, its that simple
1handers dont kill
1 handers dont die
2handers kill
2handers die

Use the terrain to your advantage:


[] enemy

~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~ marsh

[] you

Leap WHERE they are headed, most people don't know how to duel the *leapers*, and will run in an obvious pattern, just anticipate

How many of them will even quess am leaper and not ww :D

I think i will get couple duels with people thinking dueling against ww:er, but when word goes around(pretty quick?) They start thinking how to duel me.
Yes i have noticed that chargers charge in charge out.. very easy to see pattern :)

If against zons.. and i make lotsa of jumps.. the arrows doesnt hit me? havent tested yet if guided keep their targetting ^^

The sorcs.. of course also depends what skill they use.. full res, 3,2k life will give a bit marginal with them.

ah yes, my attack rating is 6,6k (dual ravens, 18,19 dex, 208,198 ar) near enough?

mumble mumble mumble

shift+leap, do'n't make long jumps against guided zons as the guideds will track you and hit you once you land.

[stevethatsmyname]

what level/ what weapon? i m curious =)

EDIT: and i dont think you should be really making long jumps at all.... keep em short + sweet!

And if it's not guided arrows, bone spirits will do the same..
