Title: Suggestion for High Latency Build
Post by: Flustered_Amy on May 11, 2011, 02:22:08 pm
I constantly have to play with over 200 - 400 + ping at least, so i was thinking which weapon would actually work for me. Right now, im using a two handed Dadao. Could get a few kills but i think other weapons might be better. And also, i tried bow and arrow, utter fail. The arrows would spaz out in mid air, i dont even think it landed anywhere.

Full plate + Flamberge is working for me - 18 str 6if 6 ps and the rest into Agi WM/Athletics.

I get some horrid lag spikes but the armour keeps me alive when the comp spazzes out

1h might keep you alive for longer

Heavy armour + hard hitting weapon. The heavier the armour, the better.

Like Randomdude said:
The armour makes people glance, so you don't have to block. You can just swing like a madman yourself and kill anything you hit.

I'd go for the longest possible weapon. Stack agi and start backpedalling. You can't fight with a short weapon if you don't have a good ping.

Black armour and long maul overhead spam? If you can't afford to do that on a regular basis just build healing tents and run around with a hammer/dagger.

Archery is the easiest to play with high ping. With 150+ ping you won't have any chance in melee against someone who is equally skilled but has 50 ping.

Where are you from?
My latency go the same way, in US server, in EU go farther.

I have a 1h-shitty all around char, thath I want to retire an do some actual good char, and now im playin with a Agi / polearm based char.
The Pike gimme some kills behind my teammates, when I cant run and they come near I'm using the Iron Staff.

Is hard to poke from the back with high ping too, the hit box is other where when you poke, cause of the latency.
Is a loooooot lot easier to hit a swing then any thrust with high latency.

Forget anything that requires manual blocking/parrying. Just does not work.

I am doing reasonably well with archery (ping usually 220-290), you just have to take into account that you have to shoot around 1/4 to 1/3 of a second into the future... ;-)

Good training for your psychic abilities... lol

But it is definitely hard - anything above 100 is a pain and you will never be able to compete with the lowpingers (called "skill", hehe)

not true - i took a few roundss on an NA server last morning, and i topped the scoreboard three maps in a row with my cav (ping 170ish)

i doubt cav can do anything with 300 ping though

i'd say archery with strong bow

You can parry yes with 200 latency, is hard and not fair of course.
With a shield it become easier, and almost any time I get an 1 or bigger K/D ratio with my 1h+shield char.

was just going to suggest exactly this. I say be a piker. You won't rack up a godly amount of kills, but you'll be a great support troop and can stop horses (although at 200 ping this might be tricky!)
