NOT my idea - although i woulda loved taking credit! :lol:
Until that nasty creature that is way too tough for you to take on, hits you first and sends you to bed. Basically, if you regularly have to flee, you're grinding or questing in the wrong area.

i love wandering around in places i dont belong - using insane tactics to cling to life... :twisted:

sometimes, not ALL the time... mind you!
just for fun & i wont complain when i get in over my head - cause its fun!

plus, its just one more way to expose the workings of the game...
develop new strategies & spawn discussion.

maybe my twist on it? :twisted:

approach the mob with a ChaR -> hit mob [with status effect] -> flee before its counter
change to ''battle'' weapon -> kill weakened mob [evasion would help in this scenario]

just some thoughts - i try to take advantage of EVERYTHING at my disposal...
this might be a horrible idea, but i wanna try...

i always lean towards magic users / casters
so, naturally... im trying to implement this into my AT character

MtG is the best, err, second best game of all time! I wish you guys live in NE Ohio, we do not have enough players in our play group...

I live pretty much at the other side of the world, so sorry. I really like Andor's Trail, but I love Magic.

Going back to the lowe move cost, would it be possible to build up an AP bonus with Cleave and actually still have that AP when you engage another monster that wasn't in the previous fight? If so a lower move cost will help keep the AP up. Would be cool if you could actually gain an enormous amount of AP that way (and then lose it to some crappy rat that manages to strike you first ;).

I'm starting on a low lv character with super high attack chance and really weak block chance, so I got quickstrike dagger and gloves of swift attack for it. I got cowards boots (lowers move cost by 1) and the Villain's leather armour for it. So I play hit and run, jump up, slash with quickstrike twice, and flee. I did this repetetively to get the boss monsters. Really useful.
Hey guys, I'm back.
