Adroit's first PvP video

Adroit - Lost City

http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=888332

Posted here b/c I know half of you don't check LC forums, and half the reason I made this was for some comments I saw on the wizard forums b:shocked

Borsuc - Raging Tide

I guess we have different PvP experiences. Since I'm a carebear regarding world PvP... and I see you massively depend on dropping from air, something you can't pull off in events like Tournament or Dragon Temple.

Entertaining video though, but gets me a little depressed to see how little damage you do to the BM and absolutely can't kill him with simple DPS (no chi or sparking or anything) without BIDS even if he would be staying still. b:surrender

Still nice work though you are very skilled b:victoryb:pleased

Adroit - Lost City

You wouldn't know this because you are on another server, but both Calvin and El33tdeath have amazing gear. Not saying you could simple attack to kill most bm's, but it isn't quite as bad if they aren't full event/nirvana gear and high refines. Anyway thx for the feedback

EverDoom - Harshlands

dam nice vid! gives me more motivation to lvl my wizzie b:thanks.

Mizuoni - Dreamweaver

wonderful video Adroit

Your kiting is really amazing, wish i could kite that well

(well most of my pvp is on the ground, i should try air pvp a bit more)

Sun_Burn - Lost City

i go against calvin all the time, and i never have close to those outcomes b:chuckle.

I think i need to refine a bit b:surrender

Moog - Lost City

Nice video. What was that anti stun genie skill you were using though?

Amour - Lost City

Fortify.
ADROIT IS A GOD.
/thread

Sun_Burn - Lost City

i use expel instead of fortify b:surrender

hopefully next lvl I can get 4 or more lucky points to relearn frenzy again.

Kupuntu - Sanctuary

Nice job. Youtube needs more pro mage PvP videos like this. b:chuckle

Zaelmith - Sanctuary

Very awesome kiting. Music is greatly timed with the vid which makes it really entertaining to watch. Definitely a +1 for wiz pvp b:thanks

Ok, thanks for posting this. Few things:

1. What did you use to record this, because it is the best quality I have seen in a long time. I want to use that.

2. I don't think I do anything different, but what I am seeing different is each fight ending on a crit bids, so I assume you have sage bids. I don't - qq. See you all in 4 months, lol. I'm going to cube.

3. I thought I was the only one that used emberstorm, lol.

4. Kiting skills? Ok, but pretty basic stuff, ijs. What made my eyes fall outta their sockets was that genie! FML and my 68 LP Genie


^100 looks good on me, right? Took me long enough, stupid dead server.

Kiting is basic but how Adroit kites is amazing.

And yea, being sage mosts of your fights will end with ulties b:surrender

I just can't believe noone tries to get under him and just lets him keep dropping like that. b:laugh

And the only book I have now is sage MS, and I don't have the 2.5m spirit because (a) I was trying to get my genie a little better (@#$@#$ genie) and (b) I can't get more than one frost run every other day or so to save my life (@#$%@#$ dead server).

It is fun to see wizzie pk videos though. I'd make one but on my server it would be:

1. 85% me watching grass grow in west arch sitting next to Pannzer (big, phat barb - luv ya pannzer)
2. 5% me beating people i have out geared, out leveled, etc.
3. 3% me getting ganked or escaping them.
4. 2% me breaking slightly less than even with the same 1 or 2 bms on our server.

Although I have started dueling people nekkid (no weapon, no gear, etc.) and that is sometimes fun, but gawd, why did I cash shop all this gear if thats what I have to resort to for any kind of fun?

1. Windows encoder
2. Yes I have sage BIDS, as you can see from the channeling bar with the solid circle before the name, or the white outline around the skill on my skillbar, or by seeing the crit buff come up several times that I used BIDS :P
3. Nope

btw Miz

Arma_Geddon - Heavens Tear

I was wondering when you were going to make a vid. Props bro, very good.b:victory

Evanera - Heavens Tear

Very nice vid, don't you love sage bids? b:dirty
I wish I could make a PK video like this but PK on HT is kinda fcked up right now <.<

b:surrenderI would play on lost city more but Amour keeps me busy with "other" things.

skysing

nice video, your pretty good

if you have decent channeling gear,this might add a lil bit more damage
right after you seal the target, try Stone Rain, should still have enough time to teleport

I'm assuming you are talking about my 1v1 against Calvin.. and that really wouldn't work at all. First of all, he was spamming lawbreaker (as you can see in the video).. so I can't rly stand there and get a skill off after FoW against him. Besides that, I was poking him to build chi and get him to just over 50%.. and as Borsuc said, simple dps would never even get remotely close to killing him. Stone rain would also make kiting more difficult because it takes more time to cast.

Well I'm pritty sure that whenever you see the undine + target stops in theyr tracs + BIDS he slept the target XD

First thing that catches my eye is ofc the uber pro kiting.
I would never have stayed alive against those kinda people :P

I also loved how you took out that sin in the end (was that just instand cast emberstorm and he droped?)

EDIT: I also see you end most of your fights with sage BIDS. Is that really the case, or just happend to be so with the fights you recorded?

Kai_Umi - Heavens Tear

I laughed when the sin tried to force stealth got silenced and then aoe by the barb while in stealth >.<

Minimus_ - Sanctuary

Quite enjoyable to watch. thanks for sharing! b:thanks

Ya it was an insta cast emberstorm.. lvl1 I might add :P
I consider charm bypass with BIDS as the best way to kill somebody, and when the people I'm fighting outgear me by alot.. thats really my only option. Against people closer to my gear range I have other choices, which I'll probably add to my next vid :P

Nice.
While kiting takes skill, such skill can only be apriciated by others possesing it b:thanks
Same with 1shotting someone with BIDS.

Ugh, you can tell he sleeps them. Not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the 20 times before that where he drops 15m and they just fly down to him. 2 or 3 people did that. Drop under him ffs, lol

OMG, lol. Hate to see what my sage version woulda done.

Actually, its more likely that its swooned over by those that can't, ijs. With expel, domain, iron guard, crab meat, the purple pots, even halloween candy b:laugh, I've had 3 and 4 melee on me and kited them for forever in west gate. All i need is a better genie for fortify for those damn bms and I'll be more slippery than a greezed pig at a nudist camp.

That, and if only I can get my bids to do more than 3500 (crit, but no undine (I fail)) against Ulmos, I'll be ok . . . . You'd think a +10 IHRS with 2 icebourne stones would do better.

Just learned sage mountain seize though, so I will probably have to start trying to use that instead of bids. Should be better damage than lvl 10 bids, yes? Where's my wizzie mathematician . . . .

dunno what dropping below me would accomplish..

and sage emberstorm wouldnt really do that much more damage, being that it was insta cast. Obv be a little more, but I dont remember the base damage on emberstorm being very high.

Don't you drop faster than you fly? Less distance per second between you and melee class is a good thing for them, no?

And isn't there a damage reduction if you get hit while you are falling?

dropping speed increases with time, so if I dropped a long distance it might be worth it, for most of the fight I would guess fueling on aerogear would be faster (like he was doing). Not to mention it takes time to get on and off of aerogear and it is difficult to drop to exactly the right altitude.. overshooting or not dropping enough is very easy to do. And ya, if you are dropping it counts as you are on the ground.. so someone atking you from a flying mount is atking air to ground (i.e. half damage). The only reason I wasnt dieing was because they rarely caught me on my mount so I was taking half damage.

Which is why the should get under you . . . .

how would being below me affect me dropping to take half damage.. I dont follow
