If you have a way of fighting that is strange, weird, or completely impractical, post here
for example i have a character that fights exclusively with a buckler and throwing rocks... in melee mode
-
My fighting style is I kill entire teams solo.
Weird, I know.
-
I have an archer that uses a steel shield/buckler and bow, no melee weapon, I don't like long range either.
-
I build ladder towers 3 ladders high and do kamikaze falling attacks on enemy archers. I actually have quite a high success rate on hitting someone, I've just never killed anyone doing it. Speed bonus is bullshit. That or the character I do it on is a one-hander without a shield and only 6 power strike.
-
Schooling people naked with a practice sword is always fun.
-
I swing my weapon until I di... nvm that's what everyone does.

And do you actually hit anything?
-
I backpedal and spam swing a polearm... oh wait thats not me,
I wait for a tink sound on my shield and swing back with a pick/hammer...oops not me either,
I throw lances while using a huscarl shield... dangit not me either,
I hold a stab attack with a german greatsword.. shit not me again,
I lance afk people at spawn...crap not me.
You know what, my unique style is not to do any of these things.

Does a turtle is in the first line? I hope not :/. Trying to be more assist.

I only stab people on CanYouBlockDown_PGI, then I run away.
I carry like a 4 to 1 KDR doing that in battle actually. I am devoted to team play and coordinated attacks, using teamwork to beat enemies.
yep, I got bored of meleeing people with my triple heirloomed stones on Brunchlady, and had to change my gimmick up.

It is amazing how many people end up having to say no that question. Can't wait to see a CanYouBlockUp character.

Brunchlady might as well change the name to canYouBlockUp, I am only overheading this entire generation.
I went 10 - 0 one battle~~~~~
-
Run around the battlefield with high athletics and get people to chase me o.o Occasionally they drop dead from exhaustion!
-
I've had a lot of weird characters. The hardest to get kills with was my pure shielder (not fake pure like all those who take a weapon and armor). Currently standing alone 5m before their melee line, shooting their archers.
-
Horse Slasher, a horse, a 2h or polearm that can only side swing from horse and that's all.
Didn't see a lot of those.
Right now, I'm annoying people with a bow that doesn't do damage (short bow) than run for it (Athletic 10) when they begin to find me annoying. Rinse and repeat. Sometime add of bit of glancing people (Power strike 0) with a katana.
:mrgreen:
-
On my alt, Stickler, I am pure str with only IF and PS (30 str, 10 IF/PS atm).
I will regularly switch into full plate and use the meat cleaver. Hilarious kills ensue.
-
My char has 27 agi and sometimes I pick armor under 7.5 so I have no decrease in speed and wpf and select my quarterstaff. Thats just ridicoulously fast.
-
I have a char i just retired, that i got to level 31 Without any Skills, Wpf. Or attribute points. I got about 20 kills the whole time, each one....epic.
-
Hmm...
Nemeth has an alt char, that has 9/30 str/agi build, 3ps, 10wm, 10 athletics and uses long dagger.
He says that he can even manage to get some kills with blocking only by chamber and running around opponent.
Because he is FAST. Not fast in the way you know someone can be fast, like running fast for few sec or so. He is fast.
I saw it. He runs around battlefield, choses opponent, comes, try to get a hit, if he FAILS to get a hit, he run out of enemy's range BEFORE enemy strike back. Awesome to see.
Long dagger weight is only 0,3. If i were him, i'd go for his whole eq weight < 1kg, should be as fast as naked ;D

It's a shame jumping from a high height doesn't accelerate you much, I was thinking about doing something like jumping off roofs for speed bonus but it makes almost no difference.

When you stay under 6 weight of total equipment your character is exactly as fast as naked. WaltF4 explained somewhere that because head and hand armor weight is multiplied this number is about 7.5 in Crpg.

But you can surprise the enemy from behind, even with your HP loss, it is a very honourable sacrifice.
The backstabs won't be honourable though xD

and the epicness more than makes up for the occasional mis jump imo. Most epic jump of mine was when I jumped from the top of a ladder over an enemy's head, spun around mid air and 1 hit overheaded him before falling to my death.

Do you mean a hoplite? Atleast you can work defensively with offense, too. Just a shield isn't really usefull :/

Nah, four shields. Yep, it's not very effective, but it was for the duel server anyway.
-
I got a maul cav with like 8 PS atm.Gonna be 10 PS at lvl 30.
With courser at full speed it 1 hits or almost 1 hits shielders who hold their shields up.. just crushes through like cheese.
The range is kinda low that's why i use sarranid horse mostly.Makes it much easier to hit people who want to move away.
Really fun against people who constantly run around holding their huscarl shield up.
-
I forgot his name, but there use to be a guy with an awl pike and steel shield who did almost exclusively spin thrusts.
-
1 hander with 0 shield skill and a heavy str based build.
Fucken love it, been using it since way before the upkeep patch
-

Bothersome Aldryk aka Aldryk of Chaos now?
-
Pish, although I used almost exclusively spin thrusts, I have never owned a steel shield.

Shpongled?
-
Shpongled?
didnt shpongled used iron staff?
maybe he switched off.. hmm
-
Berserker.
-
Well... I made a Stimpy clone named Kofilin, only using the awlpike 2 handed and spin thrusting like crazy.
Prepatch I used to do 4:1 in duels and battle only using my looney tunes axe :mrgreen:
That one had a serious balance problem.
-
Make a mauler only character and if you must use a spear against cav but no other weapon you must fight in melee with a maul against all occasions and by maul I MEAN a maul not iron mace or bar mace.
Try it it's fun but hard (Weapon speed affects block animation speed).
-
There was this guy running around in plain cloths and a dagger which was amazingly effective. Must be an agi build because he was fast enough to step in range between swings. Also very good in chamber blocking with the dagger.
I love using my Langes Messer in 2H mode. Sort of a western katana equivallent. Fighting the 120 reach two-handers with a 90 reach blade is not so easy in particular since I am not an agi build, but damn it is fun. The thrust is polearm animation which means no lolstab and very short range, but it tends to confuse the opponents. I am still much more effective (which is still not much) with my vanilla Goedentag though.

Yeah, he killed me twice (shame on me). First time I did not understand what the guy was doing, I did not even notice the dagger. I was wearing this sheppard cloth and he killed me in two stabs. I found it fun. Second time, I was wearing an armor but was close to death from previous fights. His mosquito stitches killed me eventually. Indeed he can step out of range of slash animations, really disturbing. He is also good at chamber blocking. Congratulations to him.

I tried chamberblocking with a dagger and it's a bit easier to do compared to other weapons (still very hard for me).
High agility+REALLY fast weapon gives you just a tiny bit more time to react to your opponents swing. It's just really hard to chamber feints or held attacks.

Fun fun fun :)
Burr1ck = Mallet/ great Maul only.
Stimpy: Masterwork Awlpike agi abuser. I also incorporate the parkour/ free running to get around fast and flashy around maps.

And then you wake up with a hand put deep into your potty filled with your yesterday excrement. Am I right? :wink:
Ofc no offense, I'm joking. Wondering, what build exactly do you use?
-
The most unusual fighting style I've encountered was back when I met KruntFu(KuntFu?), he used ladders to fight. Ladder fu. =D
This was when there were shield walls, organized cavalry charges, etc. in c-RPG, He would run up to a enemy shield wall, protected by allies, making a square shield wall around him, which would open in a section while He ladderpulted the enemies away... Good 'ol pulting fun. =)
That was when there were no NA servers, so, I don't even know if He still plays or not. Oh, also, I don't think ladderpulting was forbidden at that time. XD
-
Its not really a "style" more than a super sweet move I do. I bet some people pull it off, and many more try to pull it off and fail.
If I am on a roof or castle and someone is climbing a ladder to get up to me, I jump over the enemy, spin 180 and stab them. Usually kills in one hit, leaving the dead person extremely confused as to what happened.

I pulled this off the other day, probably the funnest move to pull off in this game ^^.
I also just like to rush towards someone and do a 360 and slash them, it's not that effective but sometimes it will throw them off and I can get behind a shielder and kill them.
-
Shpongled?
Not shpongled or aldryk, he had a female character and usually wore scale armor....sometimes used a loony toons axe. This was a few months ago (pre-major patch) I haven't seen him in a while.
This is going to bother me.
-
In Siege, i usually run around with my Nobleman outfit, my beautiful face undercover, smashing plebeians' heads with my Maul.
Ok i know it's not so unusual, but i just wanted to post once to say hello to everyone^^
HEllo!

Akame.
Took me a while to access the memory banks.

It sounds like it might have been Archistae_Takeda.

This generation i ride a horse at other cav with lances pointed at me and throw an axe in their face at last second, then harass horse archers.

This is a public service. Thanks so much.

If only there really were fighting styles in this game. There's just weapons and how fast you swing them.

Hah!
Do you not remember the Adholeas method?
-
o.o theres diff ways to fight, all i see is thorwing, sword and bord, and 2 handers
-
Strange ways of fighting? All the "pros" do is hold attacks and spam if they know they can hit you before your attack hits!
-
So, I win with KruntFu and His Ladder Kung Fu?! Certainly the most original! =D
-
I had to bring this thread up from below because I've come across this recurring dude in NA siege.
He's got 300+ ping (I assume he's from the Asian continent), and his name is something like zikizikki_zakkikaki, and all this guy uses is three huscarl shields and a torch, essentially being a human wall for his team, with hilarious results. I started mimicking him tonight, and so did a few other people, and could not. stop. laughing at how ridiculous it was, and yet novel and fun.
Probably one of the most unique "fighting" styles out there, and while it doesn't do like, ANY damage, it's certainly not without tactical advantages and a different form of harassing an enemy into doing something stupid.
-
24 str lvl 30 build only use shortened spear and Heavy long maul pretty sick
-
Running into a crowd and blocking until I die, they all TK each other or get bored and move away :)
-
Hah!

I miss him, he was funny, left to right attacks only, almost never blocked, and somehow topped the scoreboards.

He was one of the walking examples of why wpf generation carry-over was a bad idea, and why a level cap was a necessity. Until I was level 25+, it was physically impossible to do anything other than hold block. He had a character that could just outspam 70% of the people in the game.
Once I hit the point where responding to his very predictable attacks was possible... he was a ridiculously easy free kill :twisted:
-
I was thinking about trying a basic melee character, only where most people use a cross-bow or throwing weapons as their backup range you'd use a bow.
Wouldn't hurt much but it would be annoying as hell.
You know, just like all the other archers.
-
Recently I have been attempting to master Backwards Fighting with my flamberge. Will be epic if I can get used to it.
-
I try to rush the enemy and just jump around so they TK eachother, it works sometimes but most of the time i'm raped by archers on my way there.
