I'm a bear that acually takes care of my mages and keeps them from dying but when i'm getting low on health, y don't i get healed?
I only know a few mages that takes care of the other members and ther's only like 3 of them
If ur a mage, plz look at ur team mate's health, and heal them when needed
was playing with a mynas noob (A bear), who thought he was a hotshot. he bet 10k that he could solo a djinn, i took him on. he died obviously, then proceeded to complain that his firestorm and blizzard spells dissapeared off his spell list. He then proceeded to say, "now give me 10k" and i said "but you lost" and he said "well betting is illegal in this game you noob, and if you dont give me 10k, ill report you to the gamemasters. one of them is a friend of mine"
Ok. I was just playing thesnowqueen in the Fathom dungeon... I was a lvl 20... Fighting on my own... Fine... There is a lvl 45 in the boss room where the bosses spawn. I'm just out killing minions. For my lvl 20, they aren't mindless kills since a group of them can kill me easily. So a lvl 26 Mage joins. Sees there's a lvl 45 and decides to RUSH to the boss room. So the lvl 26 Mage brings a whole posse of the bad guys to where I am quietly killing & minding my own business. The bad guys get to me and I mistakenly try to help the Mage. The whole bad guy mob focuses on me the lvl 20 int bear. By timing my skills right and moving around, I manage to stay alive & kill them. Afterwards, I sarcastically say in the chatbox, "Thanks for bringing a huge mob to me and then not staying to kill any of them." The lvl 26 Mage doesn't care and finishes rushing to the boss room w the lvl 45. The lvl 45 waited til a boss spawned and then exited. Lol at least that's my guess based on the lvl 45 leaving and the lvl 26 Mage being clobbered.
I'm still working around the rest of the dungeon. A lvl 27 pure bear joins. Brings a mob to me. But he does stay to help me clear them. We team up til we get outside the boss room. I say that I'm too weak as a lvl 20 to kill those bosses w/out a team. I begin to retrace my path backwards- killing as I go... Then suddenly there is the lvl 27 bear who has run through half the map backwards and brought Xaxis and Meathead with him. He died instantly. Idiot that I am, I felt like exiting out was bad form even though I knew I would die if I tried. I tried anyway. I could have managed one but not both. I had Meathead half dead when Xaxis hit me square in the back. Sigh. Respawn. The lvl 27, (smarter now, right?) and I go through the map again. Then a new person joins and brings a mob. By the time I've helped them clear, near the front of the map, guess what dummy comes barreling around the corner with Xaxis on his heels?
I thought, "Forget it. Not again." so I exited out.
I have two things to say to newbies:
1) Why are you rushing as a lvl 26/27 in a Fathom Dungeon? Where are you running to? The boss you can't kill? And don't bring a mob to an innocent who tries to help you only to have you run off like a cowardly slimy slug.
2) If your intelligence is low enough and your ego high enough that you go into the dungeon boss room like smurfette thinking she's Hercules, then have the decency to die in the boss room alone.
I am so in love with this thread, but OMG, Furrawn, that Fathom Crypt story had me balling. It is SO true! There is no strategy whatsoever. I find myself often observing to see who is actually using their skills and shaking my head when just about nobody does.
I'm leveling a bird again (I think he's level 22 now or something; it's so hard to NOT level). I'm observing that in pretty much all the groups, players that can buff either themselves or their party rarely do and players that can stun bosses rarely do that as well. Everyone just rushes in and does straight damage. It's really hilarious. It's like everyone's a warrior with no other skills than their weapon, though some weapons are fireballs (or iceballs, etc).
As for the swamps, people do run all over, which is actually funny as well. But they still die. Well, ok, sometimes a few maps in, but sooner or later, they run into a boss. I like AO1 for the same reason: there are no set rooms and there always seems to be someone who likes to run around ahead of the group and trigger multiple bosses. I think I'm kind of used to that now, particularly in those areas. I just assume someone's gonna trigger a boss or more than one when there's more than one. I end up looking around more and setting myself up and/or weighing which boss to take on and/or lead away while the group recovers. The "triggerer" rarely learns though: usually they're off again after the next boss. Since I expect that, I actually have quite a bit of fun anticipating someone fleeing in with a boss or two on their tail. I'm ready with buffs, debuffs, and stuns, and it's really really funny. I always imagine these people running to the group screaming their head off. I guess I consider them my bait kite :)
I'm also one of those people who don't leave unless it's truly impossible and amazingly enough, most times it's not impossible. I remember my young mage and a lone young warrior working on killing our 1st D'jinn. We died a few times, but not as many as we thought, and boy did we feel good when we finally did it. Of course, that also means, sometimes I jump in when I should know better. LOL. I guess I consider getting mobbed also entertaining.
Of course, my bird and bear still get asked to do revs. This game has SO many laughs :)
What I have started to notice on pug's is enchantresses that throughout the whole map, do not use one single spell, I don't mean not doing combos, non-existent healing or not buffing/debuffing, I mean zip, nada, zero, just constant whacking of the attack button with their staff.
Just creepy.
They know the server is going to disconnect before a patch or an update. it says 5 min before update! then 4,3,2,1.
Lvling a a friend, when a mynas noob shows up. I get the noob to lvl 45, yet he has tons of deaths and no kills (due to the fact he didnt put any points into stats yet) and says whats a good build for a dex bear? and i said just go with my build! he says man ur build sucks. i bet i could make a better build easily. He promptly decides to go int bear, a tricky decision cuz if you mess up, ur screwed. he puts all points into int, and says, "God dammit! i cant equip a motha ****ing bow! WTH! Stupid game!!!!!" i was lmao. Then he says "my build is stil better than urs. so i agroed a djinn and killed him. happy times
Lol that ha to be one of the funniest stories ever he should learn to see what an item requires before he boasts and picks his statsQuote:

I'm thinking, in that case what should I even say to all the level 18s trying to join aos2 rushes? :D
Please what is your IGN ? A bear that will actually tank and use skills besides Rage I would love to have on my friends list. I'll keep you buffed and healed every every time it's off CD :)Quote:

Hehe, I find it hard not to do spells, not because I'll die or anything (damn near impossible to die unless tanking a djinn or higher), but becaue just blindly attacking mobs is booooooooring, gotta spam all the skills!!!Quote:

OMG, this was sooo funny. Too bad about all the boss kiting. It really wasn't the same after they nerfed rush to be in Ao1. Tried to tell lowly mage to not run around, but there were NO bosses! LOL :)
not really a funny noob story but i'm working on my 4th character (duel build mage int/str) and i was in balefort and when one of the mages died instead of writing rev, or revive, he wrote "MEDIC!!!!!".
Been leveling a pally. from 40-47 only did AO2, map 4. Honestly, not a single bear that joined my games was anywhere close to what could be considered good. All of them were just awful, spamming beckon and stomp, and scattering mobs. Truly it makes clearing take soooooo much longer.
I kept thinking I would find one that was good, but nope. Now I am doing keeper runs and this trend has continued. I know good bears exist, but man are they hard to find.
but its just so FUN to make it harder for others xD nah jk i will never touch a bear after some of those awful runs...Quote:

I wait to see if they have the ability to learn. If not, oh well, they can not learn elsewhere.
Bears might be more noticeable because of their stomp, but believe me, the number of bad bears you see is the same as the number of bad mages and bad birds. Mages especially. It's the class of the no-thinking-needed players. "Blast things, that's all I've got to do" is the thought and they're not even that good at blasting things. I've seen bears do more damage than mages and birds, where the majority of the group is mages and birds. That's REALLY bad. Most people get decked out and have no clue what to do after that. They thought they'd be uber-players just because they got decked out. Ick.
All I can say is make sure you've got boot button, either because you made the game or friend did. Or rush it, because untrainables have got to go. Good news: the recent "trainees" I've encountered have all listened to directions. Good thing because they know what follows :P
Dude i made like alot of characters i roam around low level so i see alot of people with no stats and begining armor and im like lol update ur stats and buy better items i bet they dont even update there skills lol its funny then mages dont know wats rez not even heal
I was noobish with my archer before i didnt kno wat meditation was i read description didnt get till one day i was alone i treid it and saw my mana grow and i learned wen i was lvl14
