Ping. What class to avoid at certain pings? What's your experiences?

[sami1337]

My experience is that no matter what ping i have, there will be lag whenever i don't need it. I've warped at 28 ping many times.
I don't even think my personal ping matters..

Well, I live in a fairy land far away from civilized places, so it's 160+ on EU and 250+ on NA for me. That said, I do pretty fine as a 1h/polearm medium cavalry - nothing fancy or, God forbid, anywhere near the top of the scoreboard, but it's bearable. Just have to begin stabbing a bit earlier.

Also have a 2h alt. Well... I can't usually beat a good 2h with lower ping. Archery/Xbow-ery (-manship?) would be fine if I didn't suck at aiming.

As somebody else has noted, shielders and cavalry are the best bet for those with high pings.

...Then again, I just remembered a person called TooSexy from the old days, who had like 300+ and just waved his bardiche around, usually ending up pretty high on the board.

tbh, you can play with high ping if you have a good computer and a good internet connection.

I can play 2H 27 agi ninja om na servers (150+ ping) except for a few times, when i just start lagging. Then i have to restart my computer, and i can play again.

As shinyspoons mentioned long weapons work fine.  But ranged weapons definitely help when pinging 200+.  Coincidentally playing in EU where I am pinging 200+ seems to help dramatically with my reflexes when I come back to the US servers pinging around 70.  People need to get on the duel servers more, still want more practice regardless of ping.

With ping of 150+ ranged weapons get really odd for me, they seem to go through people more often than not, you will only reliably hit stationary people.  1h+shield is difficult with higher pings too because it fucks your reaction times too, however if you mainly shield and only try to strike when people are not focused on you its a good choice. 

spear + shield is probably the most useful high ping build

spear + shield is probably the most useful high ping build

From my experience with pings between 50 and 150, I would honestly say that high ping spear + shield infantry is the most frustrating thing I have yet attempted in Warband multiplayer.

Yeah I know Too sexy, too. He was a great player indeed.

I play a horse archer for my constant 200 (300 the last few days) ping on the NA servers. I even top the scoreboard on a good/lucky day.

My reasoning was:

1 - I'm ranged, so, no manual block. (Cause at that ping even if you use a "Auto block program of ultimate blocking", well, you won't block)

2 - I'm on a horse, so, if I lag too badly I'm still fast enough that I have bigger chances of it stabilizing before someone gets to me (When you run in a straight line while lagging).

lol alright.. just dunno if all people really squeeze their comps for cRPG.. I think it's kinda important to stay competetive :-)

i definately need more ram and a new gfx card = its just low priority atm
