Attention people who run willy-nilly around the 100 second stand rooms of Cube:

    On the other hand, one mob is an absolute one shot. If you stand in a corner, you only have to worry about one mob. Ranged classes can kill it without taking a hit, BMs and Sins can stun it before even getting hit, I severely down Barbs are living in fear of getting hit by those mobs.
    In the non-47 rooms, I run around because I'm bored.

    In room 47 I run around because a great big blob-o-wimpy-mobs + Bestial Rage = Full Chi = Sunder. Thus, I WANT a huge crowd following me and hitting me for almost zero damage because it means free healing, whereas standing in the corner means I miss out on a Sunder or two.

    You run because u dont feel like killing the mobs <.<

    Not all classes have amazing aoes to just 1-2 shoot everything in there.

    I always used to run in circles in 47 on my veno since to lazy build chi for Parasite Nova before i enter. Only slowpoke classes like wizards, clerics and psys have to kill the mobs. Rest can just outrun them. Its less boring running around like a willy-nilly than standing still in a corner spamming crab meat.

    ...

    When my cat-shop alt Cleric got to level 40 I decided to give cube a try. He made it through, and so far he's 6 for 6 at the Cube, but the early AOE rooms are really quite tough.

    The problem is that he can't 1, 2, 3, or even 4 shot the mobs, even with an elite-for-his-level weapon, and the mobs will heal themselves if he stops attacking. So when he enters if more than 1 aggros him, it's going to be tough.

    When he was going through at level 40 he basically had to Plume Shell, run/heal/run/heal, Plume Shell, etc... just to survive the early AOE room. When I tried sneaking in an attack he almost died, and when I tried running him into a corner and spam healing he almost died too. Running is much safer, even though he still can't fully out-run them.

    Everyone's got a way about this room, some run and heal, others camp in corners.
    As for myself, I lure all the mobs and kill them once I am in, put up Healing Trance in a corner. And since as they spawn they can interrupt with melee attacks, I got Bramble Rage on stand by if one gets too close. Works like a charm.
    Bet it would also do the trick with a cleric's BB, tho haven't tried.

    What the HELL do you think you're doing?? Dodging/out-running the arrows?
    Seriously.....really.....you actually posted about this? What difference does it make how some people get through a room in the cube as long as they get through it. You do it your willy nilly way and those people do it theirs and oh look...everyone is happy.

    Yes. This idea be pr0. Everyone with a brain does this. Saves money.

    ...and wipes your squad buffs, eats your chi, and has a few other issues (which probably do not matter much for well equipped high level characters).
