I got to thinking today , "hmm dont ranged mobs do 1/2 dmg up close". I wonder if wizzies could blink to get close to them like how wizzies can bum-rush archers. I havn't tested this but it was just a random idea thought I would share and see what u guys thought.b:laugh

    They run away.

    Though it works on towers in the swamp. They are static and archer, if you blink on top of them, you half the're dmg

    It's somewhat situational also, as it's dependent on being able to move close enough without causing an additional mob or 2 to attack, which isn't always possible.

    Sins are Scissors. Psychics are Rocks.
    Archers, Venos, Barbs, Wizards, BMs, Mystics, Seekers are Paper.
    ...and Clerics are Mushrooms.
    Paper beats Rock. Scissors beats Paper. Scissors also happens to beat Rock...until Rock gets 50k+ soulforce at which point Rock becomes an unstoppable killing machine that beats Paper... and would beat Scissors but it can't find Scissors, because Scissors are invisible.
    So Scissors beat Paper and avoids Rock, and that is called BALANCE. -cheze

    does the damage reduction really work on those towerlings?
    b:puzzled

    me tried dropping right on top of them and even about 2 steps away in front of them .....
    and died...both times
    seemed like they were doing FULL damage to me.
    b:shocked

    me got past by staying far but close enough to get me underleveled GS off.
    and used sutra combos. Then later squading up lols

    xD
    darthpanda16: Firefox crashed on me. Aryannamage: I don't think I am a GM that would be new.
    Hawk:Do this. closing thread
    frankieraye: I'll see if we can replace the woman with a stick figure and the tiger fangs with marshmallows.//Issues like these need to get escalated quickly to minimize the damage.
    Kantorek: Yeah.. you should try it. It's awesome.
    Sihndra: Nope- not currently possible under any circumstances. Sorry.
    LokisDottir: I mean...not haunting the forums, nope nope..
    Konariraiden: You don't know what you are up against. You will lose.
    Waiting for...Hamster Packs!
    58% chance to get tokens
    41% chance to get an all class pet hamster....but they has already been freed by the magic hamster.
    1% chance to get ban hamstered with the message "Hamsters United!"

    Like its been said, its kinda situational. You dont want to shrink in and end up with 2-3 more mobs agroed on you.
    An for the most part whatever build we have we still have low hp, and ranged physical mobs...(archer types)...>_< are still gonna do dmg.

    Ive personally pretty much always kited ranged mobs, an not try to get hit at all if i can...maybe distance shrinking to get close to finish it.
