Not to mention the 28% chance break on attack, combined with a 4.49s recharge. If you can't catch up to your opponent in that time, you're doing it wrong.

Not to mention the 28% chance break on attack, combined with a 4.49s recharge. If you can't catch up to your opponent in that time, you're doing it wrong.
wow you're really trying hard here.
don't forget this one. http://auno.org/ao/db.php?id=85216
Guess how many FM's it takes to get out of that one?
Also note the chance on Break.
And the duration.
pff.
edit: 4.49 seconds to catch the "fastest" prof in AO?
is that what you do? stand still when someone breaks your root/snare? soz mate, you don't strike me as the type.
If you are still trying to convince us that fixers need to root'n'run to beat melee, or whatever other prof, i'm pretty sure everyone reading this is thinking the exact same thing: nab.
people that don't pvp should refrain from posting in pvp threads. this is like if i were to go into rp threads and start talking about rp without ever having done it.
1) just fyi, but ranged can't attack while moving. you have to stop, faceroll, reroot, and then keep running
2) lowhp fixers die from regulars. if you, as a melee, don't know how to mitigate roots, it's because you're terrible and has nothing to do withthe fixer. (PROTIP: l2p your prof)
EDIT: just for kicks i'd like to see how long your fixer can hd tank an endgame 1hb/1he trox MR enfo.
Oh yeah ... SB to counter root is obviously the solution !
Anyway, peopole whining about roots should just ask the people that completly ignore them :
* me cast single target root
* nano executed correctly (no counter ... no resist message)
Target doesnt even pause running...
Alternatively he can /tell Darktankin on RK2. I'm sure he'd be more than pleased to tell him how fast he wtfpwns any and all endgame fixers.
It's *a* solution, and quite frequently done in mass pvp. You're welcome to try any of the other 3817 available solutions.
rofl.
i'd really like a serious answer to the question about the influence of drugs here.
fixers die when standing and tanking. that's why they have roots/snares. d'oh.
yes, those are annoying, esp as shade/keeper etc. - but if you do get to the fixer he goes splat or almost splat. that's what fixers are. deal with it and stop crying, especially if you haven't played a tl7 fixer yourself. or reroll nt and just 1-2-3 the fixer.
see signature for final remark.
i'd have a much better win/loss ratio if i started kiting in duels :(
In an attempt to convince us that fixers can't stand and tank by refering to the MOST OP'd class (1he/1hb enforcer) is retarded. Thats the equivalent of saying you might get wet if you stand downstream of the hoover dam after the dam breaks.
Yes. 1he/1hb enforcers are going to stretch your sphincter. That is how FC operates. But, it's a hard sell convincing us that fixers couldn't stand and tank another fixer, shades, keepers, doctors, agents, traders, MP's, engineers, crats or whoever.
Enforcer offensive power >> unrivalled.
Use what you can to win, fixers aren't designed to tank n' spank. If they ask for a no-kite duel, then you should be asking them what they are giving up as well.
You are ranged, you have low HP and you have roots. Everything points towards that you shouldn't be standing up in your opponents face. If they can't handle that you use a vital part of your professions toolset then don't duel them again.
I really dont see roots that big of a issue like some of you think they are and for the last 6 months ive been playing only shade with no SD , the fact that a fixer pumps out specials like its on crack ( usless specials ) combined with FM + Alb stims roots are usless .
Im not a fan of the rk1 high hp fan club because its AS online after all , but on the other hand theres not alot of agents around either . And the tanking aint really that bad , its not good either tho . Fixers need a nice unique new offense toolset | And no lazy that doesnt count your new pistol :( |
if i were to guess i'd say he's trying to tell you that
a) roots arent that big of a deal
b) fixer specials break roots
c) even if fixer specials dont break the root, he has free movements and alba stims
and most importantly,
d) that rooting in duels is a legitimate tactic and the people crying about it are just terrible
You know only because 1 person claims that he doesn't feel offended when he gets slapped by ppls abusing an OP game mechanic it doesn't make the whole thing acceptable at all. I've played both sides, i know how it can ruin the fun if you abuse it hard enough. After all, it's not the roots/snares itself we're talking about, it's the abilitie to spam them in way it makes any defence/removal tools pretty much useless. Judging from your comments, i'd guess you haven't and just don't want to give up you fixers toolset. I'm not going to blame you for that, not many people here got the abilitie to think outside their own box.
This thread isn't about roots. It's about how everything a fixer does is lame. All. The. Time.
Let me give you an example of one of my duels yesterday vs a 214 sold in pretty much endgame gear (I'm 218, so it's pretty fair).
(10:00) Duel begins in 5 seconds!
(10:00) 5
(10:00) 4
(10:00) Argufix: Perk Reinforce Slugs
(10:00) 3
(10:00) 2
(10:00) Argufix: Perk Dance of Fools
(10:00) 1
(10:00) Fight!
(10:00) You hit opponent for 3412 points of Aimed Shot damage.
(10:00) Opponent hit you for 1192 points of Burst damage.
(10:00) Opponent hit you for 3294 points of Full Auto damage.
(10:00) You hit opponent for 1985 points of Burst damage.
(10:00) Executing Nano Program: Luck's Improved Capricious Consequence.
(00:00) Nano program executed successfully.
(10:00) You hit with 12 bullets...
(10:00) You hit opponent for 210 points of Full Auto damage. (zomg AMS!)
(10:00) Executing Nano Program: Superior Insurance Hack.
(10:00) Nanoprogram Superior Insurance Hack terminated...
(10:00) Nano program executed successfully.
(10:00) [Conquered Dreams] Argufix: !timer 1m10s AMS
(10:00) Argufix: Perk Limber
(10:00) Argufix: Perk Deceptive Stance
(10:00) Argufix: Pop Corrupted Flesh absorb
(10:00) Argufix: Sit down and spam battle-prepared kits while enjoying the 1s heal delta tick
(10:01) Opponent tried to hit you but misses! (x a lot)
(10:01) [Conquered Dreams] Cdreams: Argufix your timer named AMS has gone off.
(10:01) Argufix: Stand up
(10:01) Argufix shouts: ALPHA!
(10:01) /pulp
(10:01) You gained 100 PvP Duel score.
(10:01) Argufix: gg?
(10:01) Opponent: u ofc it's not a gg l2 pvp
Okay, so, solds are allowed to use AMS to render themselves, in every aspect, invincible vs a fixer. When I use both my perks, AAD perk, absorb and sit down to gain a lot of defense in a similar fashion, it's because I don't know how to pvp?
I mean seriously...
Thread has been cleaned up. I had to remove 20% of it and edit several more, so I'd strongly suggest you stop the trolling and personal attacks and discuss the issue.
