So I'm poling on my dwarf in a nearby Catacomb, every thing is nice and peachy.
Shortly after, a duo comes over to me, a Healer and a melee DD class. Normaly, I can't kill that DD type alone, let alone one that's constantly being healed by a healer.
So they kill me....
Fine. That's all cool. I'm just a lone dwarf with a polearm, pretty harmless and cheap PvP points...
I go back to town, get a few more Haste Pots and go back to the Catacomb. Find that duo, go grab some of the nearby mobs and train the DD, who evidently thought he/she could handle the 15 extra mobs all by itself. :p
PK the Healer. Then the DD starts running for his Life. I catch on, and start helping the Mobs pound on the DD toon.
End result for me: PvP = 0, PK +2.
Funny thing is, they were surpised to see me come around with mobs and train them.
Point is, this is Dwarven PvP. Don't mess with Dwarfs, even if we can't kill you ourselves, we can round up lots of nearby mobs for help :p
I'll have to agree. Despite the constant hurraying of summoner training due to the 'absolute safety' of it, it's always been more difficult than FDing.
In any case, yes, dwarves can build rather nasty trains - but so can any other heavy armour class. :p
the op reminded me of a time i was up in abg big booming
some dude just bought himself a spellsinger account and se and thought he would practice pvping with the lone dwarf
end result was the guy had 12 skeleton groups sent next to him while my golem died and i was nice and safe
i always used to warn ppl trying to mess with me that abg is the ws's house after 58 and you just dont [censored] with someone in their own home
doesnt work so well since the last few chronicles but summon trains could be pretty nasty
you could train in catacombs useing the gk to lose agro i guess but unless you are a fair bit higher the person you are training has the same option
It's not easily possible to GK out of the risk zone, owing to the simple fact that if you can't see where your summon is going, you can't train with it effectively - it NEEDS a reference point (usually yourself) to get around corners after all.
I have done the same--and your point is valid. This IS dwarven PvP.
As long as you can handle the mobs hitting you a bit, it's always possible to drop a train on a fool---just takes a few moments and a little timing. And dwarves can handle getting wailed on for a moment, no problem.
I use trains a lot to clear out a few rooms I want from the really close nit groups. You know the ones that love the game so much they play for days on end and follow each other's foot steps space for space and never seem to need rest. :)
Very effective tool for a poor defenseless Dwarf to get a room or three for aoe pole arming. :D
