Drains

Ok i don't do it cause everyone monas alot i found that out the hard way but when pvp i would think that the idea is not to die and by doing this you need to kill who ever your attacking or being attacked bye using any means to win!

I've never had a monster moan at me for draining it yet?

So an answer to this would be great, i think it's a fair question so not to many noob remarks please :P

You just look stupid if you keep draining people over and over.

People get mad because it doesn't really do anything but get irritating. Some guys just sit there draining, and it stalls the fight.

Yea, i was fighting a mage at BSD today and was hurtin him pretty bad, but then he goes drain I drain I drain I and he goes from 30 health to 220 in 3 drains while i go to 140 then he follows it up with a bolt, i heal and we do it over until i get a good crit and he dies.

I see the points you've made, thanks for the input :)

Lol remember that fight we had at sub a long time ago where you kept draining me but coundt kill me like that!

Thats the prob , I keep losing Hp but I wont die from a few drains and well because during a fight you would like to be at full health you keep healing . etc etc etc rly irritating and it isnt rly fightin!

SO DONT DRAIN !!! (unless your fightin melee's lol :p )

if its melee vs mage mage should be able to drain if there able to chug there elixers

They already fixed drains to be perfect for pvp situations. If you have a problem with drains now, you obviously did not play when you could drain drain drain even if you had full health (and the range was much greater than it is today).


The game is coming very close to being balanced, pvpwise, except for some issues with melee weopons and archers. A mage can drain you a little and pop you for 200+ with a war, but as a melee you have the option to search all major wards/ use an aegis shield/ chug health elixers. It sounds more to me like you need to learn a little more about how to pvp with a melee. When I'm on my melee and some guys starts draining me I'm not gunna just stand there beating on him until he drains me to half health and starts to shoot a war at me. You BARELY have to back up to even get out of his drain range. Try running in on a mage and taking a few wacks at him then runnin back away. When you run in and your first two wacks drop some uber damage on him, then you stay up in his face and try to get the kill. A mage is NOT gunna drain back enough health to overstate 2 or 3 critts from a swordsman/ua with a weepin weopon.

People used to use drains exclusively to PvP. That was no good. It's much better now, and I don't think I get drained once a month.

And btw, last time I checked, mages can chug elixirs too. Infact, they seem to do it the most, seeing as they are the ones always spin jumping away and god moding their various elixirs until their stats are full.
