I don't see any of that when it happens. Only in the logs.

Kaileigh,

spar more paladins in Celest. I'll spar you once I've finished my exams (mid-november). I need much, much more practice.

Practice running away. We just don't have enough health to stand toe to toe with anyone capable of doing any damage what so ever

Well, look at that. I wasn't doing any damage.

I would be opposed to practicing running away. More like try fighting toe to toe. I dont think its that hard vs a speed warrior but you have to utilize everything meaning rebounding, stancing and parrying.

Tip against a speed blademaster scoring too many hits on the legs:

- If you have some form of passive paralysis start using it i.e. daggers with manta.

- Make sure your rebounding is up.

- Parry 100 right leg and apply health on legs. If your left leg has no wounds parry left leg 100 then continue applying health.

- Stance legs.

Other stuff -
sparkleberries (If I'm not eating sparkles I die very fast)
make sure you have a decent amount of power in your fights.

ADD EDIT: Also try to see where that spam is comming from. Spam = you slowing down. When you're fighting you want your system to be flowing as smooth as possible so that you can react as fast as possible. Just think of it as if your sys sends 100 commands then you send a command manually the server will recieve those 100 commands before that last manual command and so it will input that after everything else. Then view in terms of latency and so the time you will actually be able to react will be delayed and impact your performance.

Can you make a button that, when disabled, stops you from eating sparkleberries? Then you don't burn them on leeches.

Or easier: make the system think it doesn't have sparkleberry balance, and just add the sparkleberry balance again when you want to eat 'em.

two words

USE ILLUSIONS they have to be one of the most underused things as mages.

A mugwump rune user can illusion 4 TIMES between superslings. A normal eq mage can get 2-3 in which is HEAPS

Some illusions ideas:

- Waning, Aapek, and Aeon tarot illusions (maybe start off with an anorexia illusion and then do an aeon illusion right after for more impact)

- Rebounding/Shield illusions

- Paralyse/Web illusions (although these won't work very well on some people)

- Event illusions (death, arena time out, arena loss, loggin, etc)

- Affliction illusions (for example, you could fire off several telepathy-ish illusions and then follow up with actual afflictions)

=====================================================

You may want to also consider timed illusions in the room, illusionary stars, illusionary phantoms, illusionary wounds, etc. You might want to also create a timer for stars, phantom, wounds so you know exactly when they end and you need to recast.

Various stun illusions are bound to cripple most systems.
