Please Fix Slaughter

Both events are arguably avoidable.

Cometeor: If you let 5 or 6 casters of an opposing faction build up to battle high/fever, you deserve to get wiped. They earned those lb kills.

Double Teamed: from my experience 3 times out of 5, a team gets doubletapped because they positioned poorly, looking like easy kills for both the other GCs.

Whether you're getting doubleteamed or not, whenever you take direct damage, break range.. make them work hard for the kill.. They'll give up n switch to a different target if you make them work for it.

Best answer by far. WHINER tHREAD ALERT anyway though.

There is no avoiding getting double teamed with three factions when participating in battle. If two factions are fighting with each other the third faction has to pick one, if the third faction divides up then the other two faction will focus on them as they have the numbers advantage (higher success rate), thus being teamed by the other two factions. The only way a faction can avoid getting double teamed is if they remove themselves entirely from battle making the other two factions fight each other, in which case generally the faction that retreats loses due to lack of points.

It's not that you can completely avoid getting double teamed. That's not what he is trying to say.

You have to divide your forces. You have to attack both sides equally and not give up ground. It is the positioning of your raid that makes you the most susceptible. If you are spread out then you look like a bigger force and will naturally keep the other teams backed off. If you shrink into a tiny cluster then teams will close in because you look small and weak. This is basic strategy. This is mother nature. This is why guys stick out their chests and stretch like gorillas when they see a good looking girl.

And this also screams "cometor spam us asap" :P

Snip.

I agree that at times double teaming seems to be just random trolling. But like I said before majority of the time the team getting doubleteamed had it coming.

You're a dps right: a BLM. You burn an entire MP worth of Fire 1s on a target but they don't die - you switch to a new target - you switch until you find one that isn't getting healed through your damage or is too stupid to not break range.

Now imagine all 50+ dps in the match doing the exact same target cycling. Evantually the needle drops.
