     IRC Nickname: [Randy] Group: Raid Leader Posts: 5065 Member No.: 16 Joined: December 29, 2007 Total Events Attended: 499    | How to not get K0ed! By Kingrandy0 ~Introduction~ Getting K0ed has come to the attention of everyone, and an issue that obviously needs work on. Hopefully this guide will show you the basics on how to not get K0ed in wars! Note: Do not take this guide as an insult. Not everyone is perfect and has their flaws, if you feel getting K0ed is an issue, than take advantage of this. ~Getting Started~ Before you even show up to the war, you should make sure your setting look like the following- 
When the opponent's pile is finished, you should see a bunch of people running at you/the clan. At this moment, hit 1, 2, and 3.  If you are the pile, you should hear it (it sounds like steel clashing). WATCH YOUR HP! If you are hit pretty bad, hit 4 (very bad then 5 & 6). IMMEDIATELY hit 5! Now you are here:  Hit Quick prayers IMMEDIATELY! They should be setup to be all 4 prayers - Protect From Melee, Steel Skin, Mystic Might, and Rapid Heal. Hit 2 to go back to inventory. Now you are here:  Hit 1 to get health up quick. Then hit 2 and hug, while clicking pizzas like mad at the same time. This part is optional, but if you are a good tank, hit 3 when running and not being hit, and when you are binded, put back on your rune plate. Video Guide soon to be added! I hope this guide will help you. Use this guide in combination with Math's Massive Guide for F2P Clan Wars and you'll be set --------------------   | ||||

Im 110 and was the 1st pile in the war=k0 cuz i wasnt expecting it. also set your attack setting to defensive if you have the time. Also since most of the people getting k0ed are low lvls like me. Bring more swordies. Less pizza. You will die if u have a full invy of pizza and a def lvl that sucks. Like mine. I recommend 6-8 pizza bc usually i am almost redbared because they hit more than a bite of pizza , but thats me. --------------------  | ||||

 IRC Nickname: Tnuac Group: Emeritus Posts: 1806 Member No.: 51 Joined: December 30, 2007 Total Events Attended: 58 | Getting KOed is the clan pking sin. Hybridding is a dangerous game and you need to know that before you do it (even though it is, of course, very useful). Make sure you're competant at protecting yourself if you're going in the mage gear, and keep an eye on the enemy all the time. This guide is a very good breakdown of what to do, to the finest detail (e.g. put rune plate on before skirt or helm, those extra points can help a lot) -------------------- ~Aetas: carpe diem quam minimum credula postero~ "Seize the day and place no trust in tomorrow"  | ||||

 IRC Nickname: Karlfischer Group: Ex-Member Posts: 664 Member No.: 124 Joined: January 12, 2008 Total Events Attended: 55 | Very good guide, but just a few things: First of all, I have to disagree with a little bit of the order. I think you should always (unless there are rangers) turn prayer on first, and then switch gear. Keeping your hybrid gear on that little while longer helps for not getting binded. Switching gear also takes alot longer than turning on prayer, and I think leaving your prayer off for that long is quite dangerous. The thing about switching gear is that there are decreasing benefits. Rune plate adds great defense, rune skirt adds lots of defense, rune helm adds moderate defense, and staff does not make much difference. By the time you get to rune helm and staff, your time would be better spent turning on prayer. However, switching while already in your inventory makes little sense. If you turn on prayer first, you only have to switch from your prayer book to your inventory. With the way you have recommended, you need to switch from inventory, to prayer book, then back to inventory. That time switching is precious, and you stand a better chance tanking if you can just stay in your inventory so that after switching gear you can eat immediately. Make sure to make a note about the food, when you want to bring swordfishes and when you want to bring pizzas. For a lower level, bringing that many pizzas is a good way to get KOed because you cannot eat fast enough. It is also a good way to get KOed if you are going up against 30+ people. The general rule of thumb is, the lower your defense and the larger the war, the more swordfish you want. So say if you are a lvl 120+ tank and it is a 20v20 war, then you will want to bring almost all pizzas. If you are under 110 combat and were at today’s war, you should have brought almost all swordies. If you are in doubt or worried about getting KOed, take half swordfish, half pizzas. Another thing you want to note is the use of hotkeys. First of all, if you are inexperienced in using hotkeys, using them incorrectly is a good way to get yourself KOed. Practice using hotkeys in random clan wars fights or practice events until you feel comfortable using them in wars. That said, using hotkeys can make you a second or two quicker, and that can easily be the difference between tanking and getting KOed. The hotkeys you should know: F4 = opens inventory F6 = opens prayer F7 = opens spell book F11 = repeats last quickchat text If you do use hotkeys while hybriding, it is important to know that if you have bind selected and use hotkeys to switch, that your bind is still active. That means that whatever you click on next cancels the bind! For example, if you have bind selected, then press F6 to go to prayer and protect melee, the first time you click it not do anything because it is canceling the bind. You must then click on it another time to activate the prayer. Not knowing this when you hybrid and use hotkeys could get you KOed. If you are hybriding and do not have bind selected, you should always press F6 so that your prayerbook is open and ready if you are piled, then press F7 to quickly switch back to your spell book and bind. If you get piled, then just press F6, turn on protect from melee. Press F4 and switch gear and eat. If you are being piled heavily, switch back to F6 and turn on steel skin, and then F4 to eat some more. --------------------   | ||||

| IRC Nickname: Tnuac Group: Emeritus Posts: 1806 Member No.: 51 Joined: December 30, 2007 Total Events Attended: 58 | Good input karl. I'll mentione one thing though
That's what I was saying yesterday,but apparantly the speed at which you eat first halves of pizzas is double that of swordfish, meaning you can get 16 health instead of 14. I haven't tested it out, but if its true it makes pizzas a better source for both speed and endurance. -------------------- ~Aetas: carpe diem quam minimum credula postero~ "Seize the day and place no trust in tomorrow" | ||||

I tried testing it myself...not sure if it is twice as fast or not. I timed myself eating 5 swordfish and then 5 pizzas. I was able to eat the swordfish in about 9 seconds, and the pizzas in 12 seconds. Who knows, I might have been clicking slow on the pizzas, you should try it yourself and see what you get. Even at that rate though, it seems that they heal at about the same rate: 14x5=70/9= about 7.8 hp per second for swordies. 18x5=90/12= 7.5 hp per second for pizza. That difference is not much, and could have easily be within the margin of error. Still, for those who have trouble tanking, I would still recommend swordies because there is less clicking involved. It is a bit hard to hug and constantly be clicking pizzas. -------------------- | ||||

 IRC Nickname: Zlat Group: Clan Friend Posts: 2781 Member No.: 9 Joined: December 29, 2007 Total Events Attended: 60 | I use 1/3 swordfish, it's for when getting piled and u need to get ur hp to max as fast as possible so u avoid getting koed. Then the rest pizzas. --------------------   | ||||

| IRC Nickname: Tnuac Group: Emeritus Posts: 1806 Member No.: 51 Joined: December 30, 2007 Total Events Attended: 58 | Consider that its physically harder to use pizzas, because you'll need fast and accurate clicking. For someone new, swordies are still very much preferable. -------------------- ~Aetas: carpe diem quam minimum credula postero~ "Seize the day and place no trust in tomorrow" | ||||

Gotta disagree with that one By the time you can put pray up, you can easily put on rune legs+ plate. In the case that you do put prayer up, those little, but constant 5s on your robes will very quickly add up. -------------------- bto Ex-WG Warlord "It is our direction, not our intentions, that lead us to our destinations." | ||||
