[TIP] If you're going to be an Archer

[Agenteusa]

[B]If you're a healer and you see an Archer kiting a mob like an idiot, let them die so someone with an ounce of common sense can tank it!
Thank you.

Don't say thank you after being a moron. First of all from what I see you're nto even an archer. Second most of us kite cause we know we will die to shitty tanks that can't hold aggro and several times there's no healer in FATE's.

I know cause I died several times standing there waiting for a heal.

Third, most times I root the mob, but the roflstomp dpsdpsdps mentality of others makes them not even see the sign that the mob is rooted.

So, if you want me to stop kiting, stop being an idiot dps and tank and start doing your job. Seems by the approach you took to archer players that you fit in the idiot dps category.

Thank you.

Not exactly feasible in multiple mob situations...I'd have to know what mob is eating them.

The OP was talking about FATE boss mobs. I don't think any solo archer kiting trash mobs around in FATEs even expects heals (though I tip my smexy feathered hat to the healers that do throw some even my way!). Still, tab-targeting around and using target-of-target/mouseover heals is easy.

So, if you want me to stop kiting, stop being an idiot dps and tank and start doing your job. Seems by the approach you took to archer players that you fit in the idiot dps category.

Reworded slightly: So, if you want me to stop kiting, stop whining, use Provoke and start doing your job.

You cannot provoke a FATE mob or most regular mobs actually.
So if you run around kiting AND shooting the mob, you make it that much harder for a tank to get the mob off you.

I did not know that - now I do, thanks!
