#3234, "Short bit of Advice"
|
First, in Carrion Fields PK, seldom will you have a fair fight. You run from the scion air/offense human shifters with nine levels on you, you fry the brains of the fire giant rager app who can't even see you coming. When you win those fights, don't be a griefer, because even if CF Karma(TM) doesn't bite you in the ass, no one will ever want to fight you if you do not show class when you win.
Second, now that you know that you will never have a fair fight, you need to start looking for situations to avoid and situations to attack. Here are factors you need to weigh in determining whether to start or stay in a fight:
* Number of foes in the area or who could show up during the fight * What are you/your foes doing at the time the conflict starts * Health of both parties * Damage output of both parties * Lagging ability of both parties * Your exit strategy Several things will impact these factors, and knowledge of these will only come with experience. Racial tendencies and vulnerabilities, gear, (magical) preparations, class skills (and skill level), cabal powers, and just terrain & mob knowledge will only come with time and study.
As a newer player, you truly would be better off playing rangers and assassins or thug thieves for your first several characters. Because of their ability to have some control over who they fight, they have an easier time learning how to gauge what fights are best for them.
Last thing: try to have fun. Most players aren't assholes, and don't get discouraged by the few people who are.
Remember it is a game.
