They can be killed faster than that. More fallacies from you.

You have yet to prove it lol. I have videos, you don't. More DPS fantasies that have no anchoring in reality. You still don't know what a fallacy is either hehe.

You won't get aggroed anyway if you just play properly. You will save more than "1 or 2 minutes" and you don't just need to be killing Dragons in WW, the time you save means you can move on to doing something else. Either in game or irl.

You've clearly never pulled WW Dragons either. You have no real opinion on the matter.

You are so dumb. Again, YOU STAND PARALLEL TO THE COAST. So the Dragon is in the water regardless. Him getting pushed only slightly changes where in the water he will be.

You are trying to split hairs because of how badly you are losing. You really don't understand push as your previous posts show. If the Dragon gets pushed a little too far into the water, I lose line of sight and have to reposition the mob, which wastes time.

Your pet was in the front much of the time in the video. And if you do indeed position correctly, then there no reason to not have the pet hasted from the start.

You didn't watch the video clearly. You can check the logs, he isn't getting riposted. He's to the side of the mob, to the point where he's doing max damage. You know nothing about fighting WW Dragons, you don't even know how pet positioning works. That is odd for someone who I assume is a Mage.

Your video doesn't debunk anything. All it does is show how poorly you play.

It debunks all your posts. You are just too much of a noob to see it[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Maybe you lived the good life killing Yeldema and Gafala forever. Or maybe you pulled Bratavar or Mazi or Ayillish four or five times and didn't have trouble and gave yourself a pat on the back. Bravo! Now go do it another several hundred times.

At this point I am convinced he hasn't even killed one WW Dragon. But he will never post any videos of himself, he is probably too embarrassed at his playstyle. It would ruin his already fragile attempt to look like a "pro gamer".

To be fair I'm not going to post videos of myself, either, because I don't make videos. So I don't hold that, specifically, against anyone. But the suggestion you'll never get aggro there is a straight-up fairy tale. Mobs pop in and out of visual range, they aggro from behind geometry where you can't even see them, you get run over and trained by kiters or by people running to temple veeshan or training sontalak away, you hang out there long enough stuff is going to happen.

Yeah, I can solo pull any dragon there to most any point in the zone, reliably (shadowknight), and a shaman could too if he wanted....but the shaman'll have to do it by sometimes needing to root/camp and whatnot. You MIGHT argue with someone that he could summon the pet and if he has some bad luck and has to root camp once, well, he at least still gets the pet the other majority of pulls that don't go sour.

You don't need to make videos, because you are not making silly claims that you are pushing as fact. It is clear by your posts you have actually fought WW Dragons and pulled in WW. I am not getting that at all from Z.

I am pretty sure you cannot summon pets once you have agro, so I don't think it would be helpful. I'll test that again sometime soon, but I remember having problems with it when making my Ice Burrower video. And this assumes the agro is from something you can root camp. Some of the nastier roamers like Mraaka (who has no agro message and looks like all the other craigworms) has a huge agro radius and isn't going to let you root him hehe.

Don't understand what you mean here. Certainly I summon pets while on a hatelist or directly in combat on a regular basis...P99's channeling makes it pretty simple. Although in this case if you wanted one in advance you'd be summoning one before you went out to pull at all so the aggro's kind of moot. Suspect you mean something more specific and I'm not getting the jist of it.

(EDIT) the funny part is this is deriving from obsessing over speed....and how do you solo-pull there, with minimal chance of adds or issues? By taking your time, being patient, waiting on roamers, watching pathing, and mostly by being slow. Want to pull Mazi, oops there's two wyverns and a drake and oh there's Del Sapara. Now you're either pulling something crappier like Vraptin instead or you're waiting.

OH you mean cast the pet spell. I thought you meant the https://wiki.project1999.com/Summon_Companion spell.

Agreed. Again, for some reason Z thinks all you need to do is increase DPS and everything else will just shake out hehe.

Gotcha. Figured it was some miscommunication like that. Yeah, a sufficiently motivated player could summon the pet then go out and pull and if he has to root/camp once in awhile and lose the pet, so be it. Some folks do that. Some don't like fussing and in the end it's not a big difference killing four of them in an hour and twenty minutes vs, an hour and ten when you're logging off after the fourth either way.

Exactly.

Your videos show you are playing wrong, as has been pointed out multiple times with how you stagger spells incorrectly, how you don't use all the correct spells to begin with, and how you aren't using the pet to best effect. You also don't swap in a better melee weapon. If you play better, it's a factual certainty that you would kill faster.

There are no "split hairs", you are simply positioning wrong. I understand push, stop using these pathetic straw man lines all the time; the pet does not push to the degree you are trying to say (unless something was changed), and there is enough room to fight while keeping the Dragon at the correct elevation.

YOUR PET IS FACTUALLY IN FRONT OF THE DRAGON AT 11:40 IN THE VIDEO. It remains there for over a minute. You are so fucking ridiculous. In the previous video the pet was in front for far longer than that as well.

No, you clearly are just a bad puller. Hechaeva is right next to the water. There is NO reason whatsoever to use invis there. You are simply playing bad.

You're also contradicting yourself, as you lose invis anyway when pulling, and in the Bravatar video you are running through the middle of the fucking zone, instead of running the shorter distance to Bravatar from the cliff, where it's easy to what's coming and avoid it.

I loaded the Bratavar video so I could see what the fuss was over.....and I don't see the fuss. He pulled a perfectly normal way, with two burrowers on one side, and too many roamers, including at least one roamer dragon, on the other side. The dragons have extremely large assist range so you need to stay unusually well clear of them. The pathing around there also tends to favor the east/west tracks for some reason so once it gets crowded it tends to stay crowded for a bit. That was a bit of a dice roll pulling it right when he did--I suspect he knew he was making a video and got a little impatient--and taking it a ways north was the smart thing to do in that circumstance.

The most irritating thing about the video was the constant use of third person easymode view and while it rubs me wrong I can hardly crucify him for that since probably most folks on P99 use it. Play first person like the game was meant to be played! I don't use mousewheel, I use first-person and F9 like intended.

Thanks for checking out the video!

He is simply making a fuss because he wants to prove how much of a "pro gamer" he is. I am not sure why he wants to do that, and he is failing at it miserably. I think he just got angry in the "most underpowered" class thread, and is bringing that anger here.

As I have said before, my videos are not perfect, and their intent is not to show hard core gaming at it's finest. They show how the game works, and a good strategy for beating WW Dragons. You are correct when you surmise that I do get impatient from time to time when making these videos. I'd rather get a clean video done, even if it isn't 100% perfect, as opposed to shooting it over again, especially for a video that is showcasing a 20 minute fight.

None of Zuranthium's suggestions would improve these videos in any significant way, as shown by the video I made showcasing his "DPS strategy". He will continue to make silly "criticisms" I am sure, but none of them will hold water. I would be happy to see his "pro gaming" strategies in a video, so we can all learn how to Shaman better. But he won't.
