Problem with Attack of Opportunity
Re: Problem with Attack of Opportunity
You said it yourself: It's engine, don't think there's anything we can do.
The reason why I suspect people think PVP wouldn't be better without it is that it's yet another thing that differentiates the best from the good - when you're a caster, do you keep track of the rats? Do you prepare yourself so you don't get screwed over by an AOO? As a melee, do you have cleave, kill the rat, then get your target back? Or do you wait to lose target before killing the rat.
I mean, really, we should be ranking people by their capacity to still play well under conditions of X rats per second.
For example, I'd probably be able to deal with ~1/12 of a rat per second, or a rat every other round, while an experienced caster might be able to beat me while undergoing a difficulty of a rat twice a round.

While were at it can we add a

??? Cuz that would be sweet too!
Also to note, I just learned to accept the AoO. I use barter to get all my multiple toons to follow each other, you wouldnt be surprised at how many times "ooh a beetle" happens and then all my toons end up standing around trading air with each other.

How is your brain wired if you can efficiently play 4 toons at once? I want the recipeKorr wrote:take ur wiz against 4 of my toons anyday!!!Amoenotep wrote:lokey and i were pvp'ing the server once. he on his dragon, me on my wizard...he died before i killed the rest of them.

Why would I want to count 12 hours twice? I’m perfectly capable of counting to 24, and while we’re at it, can someone go shoot named time zones. GMT+x is all we need!
