ok so again this morning, I am on Oceania, call in chat for anyone else, no response, I go to skara with my mystic mage and my tamer. The ONLY stuff there is macers, fencers, bards, and one archer in the mobs that have spawned. No other players at all. So having killed the spawn around the fencer, beat on it for about 15 minutes with GD and spells and take it from 100% to 96%, it kept healing.
Figure this is a total waste of time, so will try the archer. Killed the spawn around the archer, started killing it, after about 10 mins it is down to 80% so ok, better, only thing is it runs all over the joint and keeps running into another mob with the bard in it. So eventually get it out of there, takes about 10 mins, start on it again, it runs off again, only luckily it runs inside a building, so I follow it in with tamer and then the mage, sick the dragon on, get that set then start on with the mage/mystic basically casting bombard inside the building while vetting and healing the dragon, this goes pretty well and get it down to about 40%. Has taken about 40 minutes til this point. Then the bard outside the building tags the tamer and manages to run inside the building like a homing pigeon, kills the tamer so I get out with the mage/mystic, get the tamer out and rez her as the healers has a bunch of crap right outside the doors so insta death if you try to rez there. Call dragon out (now also dead) rez that. Then use the mage to lure the bard away again, while keeping the archer in the building. Finally get set again, take tamer back in sick on the dragon, send mage in and off we go again. Another 20 minutes and finally the thing goes down for the one minax crest.
So Ok has been and hr 15 mins til this point.
Next is the bard as that is the only thing other than the fencer and macers left at this point. A new 'bard' spawned after I took out the archer so may as well kill the 'red' bard given that I had already killed the spawn associated with it. So again, pin the bard down and start beating on it. It doesn't move just keeps both chars continuously in discorded and calms the mage every minute or so. Takes 800 bandages to vet the dragon and an hour 18 minutes to kill it due to the constant discord and peacing.
So after 2 hrs 30 mins finally have 2 killed, for 2 minax.
Only thing left now is the macers, fencers, another bard stuck right next to the macer. So I go back the original fencer given that it is alone and I had killed the spawn for it. Figure would swap out the mystic/mage for my archer to see if that does any better damage along with the tamer as the meat shield. Well Tamer died about 4 times in quick succession, the archer died a couple of times until I got it reset, tamer vetting spellhealing continuously and archer pumping away arrows. This has taken about 35 minutes to get to this point after all the deaths/rezzing etc. Fencer is at 92% and I beat it down over the next 25 minutes to 70%. I keep beating on it and after another 15 or so minutes it is down to 64%. So to this point this fencer (not inlcuding the first 15 mins above) has taken an hour to get to 64%.
Next thing I see a flash of blue names and see a char come barreling into the fight. Hard to see under the dragon so I pull up all names and start grabbing health bars in amongst the *evades* and *forul solum* and necro spells, spamming continuously and pull up 7 individual character health bars. So ok, with this onslaught the fencer goes down and dies within about 5 minutes. Now my archer did 4100 damage to it, and my tamer about 3200 damage. Neither of us got anything for the hour or so invested, and this joker comes in with his 'party' and after 5 mins scores.
The seven other characters are all standing in a pile. not moving but some are still casting spells. I say to the 'people' Hello, and get no response. Stand a couple of minutes and ask what program are you using to control 7 characters at once? Get no response. After another few minutes, some chars still casting. Then one of em speaks again, saying sorry girlfriend wanted me. I ask again, what program you using to control all seven chars at once, and the dude says 'you know' and I say no I don't . He says alt click or something and then says keyboard and runs off with all the other 6 chars in one pile behind him.
Yes I am running two chars, but have to play both individually constantly switching between them and moving them independently which results sometimes in a hell of a lot of death because while I attend to one the other just stands there. The tamer only says all kill and I use the GD as a meat shield. Given the maximum damage the GD is doing is about 3-18 dmg all it does is provide focus so that the other char has the chance of doing some damage whlle i monitor the dragons health on both chars so can switch to vet it given that I am the only one at the invasion. Sometimes 80% of the fight is healing the flipping dragon just so the other char can get some damage in.
There is absolutely no way i could bring in a char from my third account as would not be able to manage that at all. If any other players are around I only ever use one char as it is so much easier and 1000% more enjoyable than trying to constantly keep two chars alive. The only time I use the two is if there is no one else on. What program or method is this other dude using and is it legal ?
