i am sure most of those corpses are not lag related deaths, i hope amelinda didn't res all of your fail corpses

lol no, she just stumbled across all my fail corpses while rezzing my 1 death caused by the database crash.

I also never said they were lag related deaths, i failed hard son! i fucked up "alot" and slowly began learning from my mistakes. which is the most important lesson of all. realize your mistakes and learn form them. then stop and think "ok, i did X and Y happened. maybe i should do Z instead, or just don't do X at all and see how that goes."

Oasis is kind of a bad zone to learn how to do it. Gfay is actually decent at 8-9 or so...at 10 I found NK to be a wonderland of flat terrain and easy mobs.

Don't bother trying the crocs, they have an odd sized hitbox.

Yeah i kinda Realized Oasis wasnt the best zone, but after it owning me so much i was determined to get it down there! haha.

so here's a break down of those deaths. for anyone who may try to kite in oasis, or is just curious how i died so dam much:

-Deaths 1-3: Bad angles, kiting on hills, Death within the first 30 seconds.
-Deaths 4-6: Croc's are bad, mmmmk. as stated above screwy hit box, dun do it!
-Deaths 7-9: PUMA'S!! do not under estimate a LB Puma, if it breaks away from yoru train. FINISH IT! it will come back, and quickly and screw you. also beware of patting puma's, the evil beaties they are *shakes fist*
-Deaths 10-11: ok melee dodging is fine now now to kil.. OH SHIT A CASTER! *rooted*
-Death 12: Desert Madmen Will add SG's to your train, avoid any SG's if you have madmen in your train.
-Deaths 13-16: i now know how to avoid all the BS out there.. crap bad timing, bad angle ect.
*Receives pointers from really good Bard friend on how to approach and break away form your train and not get pwned*
-Death 17: ALMOST got the whole train, just 4 mobs left! *Girl Friend Calls on Skype from Work, Windowed, Dead.*
-Picture above. i killed a train of 21 mobs without getting hit once!
-Future Deaths: Perfecting what i now Know.

Quad kiting is very easy. It's definitely not worth your fear [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

You'll never compare to Duvian, he inspired you, but doesn't mean you'll "get it"

Good Luck

too bad charmkiting isnt working (as intended!) on emu... or is it fixed??

[falkun]

No, and I do not believe charm kiting will ever work on this server. The code is written in such a way that mobs do not assist on your charmed pet like they did on live. its kind of a shame, really, because with some FT items in Velious charm kiting becomes even better.

[citizen1080]

I do not think swarm/charm kiting is high on their list of things to do sadly. The horse is very dead and very beaten and they still have not fixed it so I assume there is a good reason.

Still sucks tho, swarming was fun

[Tewaz]

I weekly bump my swarm kiting bug post, but I doubt it will happen.

Indeed it was. Lately though, I've been having a similar fun time charm kiting 2 mobs.

1. DoT x3 on mob1
2. Charm mob1
3. Sic mob1 on mob2
4. DoT x3 on mob2
5. Charm breaks on mob1
6. Charm mob2
7. Sic mob2 on mob1
8. Repeat from step #1
