need help with playing ds channie

basically i need help with the general game play of a channie and how to use a channie in pk. i was told a channie should be able to partake in pk and win with just a tunic and a decent weapon especially when my stats are 16 19 18 17 15...... so any help would be greatly appreciated

Get into dodge gear. Then spend a day testing weaves for what you like and what is decent to use. Try to have 1 weave that is faster than a bash, and one that does as much damage as possible that is about as long as 2 rounds of combat.

ok ill have ago. i was told rend and immolate are powerfull but when ive used them they dnt seem to do much damage. do they have weather and surrounding difficulties?...(i shouldnt quote WoT) for example ice spikes work better in cold weather and fire ball better in hot weather *obviousely*... is the same in kinslayer?

I havent noticed as great of a difference (if any) in damage for temperature. Most weaves arent huge amounts of damage, you have to combine it with melee over time.

i went over this in detail with you. you gotta test a lot out yourself. if you'd helped me run those tests you'd have a lot more valuable information. the key in group pk is not to get hit. fast weaves; flee; enter; fast weave; flee, so u dont get hit while naked.

if a basher bashes, sit there and run your high dmg weaves immediately. communicate, pay close attention to narrates.

I disagree with Kathryn when it comes to group pk. But thats just personal preference and setup choices.

But she is defiantly right about the second part. When someone is bashing, your only job is to pump out the damage as long as you can. High damage with longer timers does this nicely because the sp to dmg ratio appears slightly better.

If you are involved in chasing, then you wont have time for slow weaves, as the person you are chasing will attempt to flee upon being engaged. Then go with fast weaves.

Dont forget to target, if you just cast on human you will use all your sps on a few people and never get lethal on any.

i'm not sure why you disagree with me. its your choice, but you'll die so fast you wont be any help. i was specifically referring to his question about pking with no eq on in group pk...

Guess I missed the part where he said he was pking naked. I assume anyone who pks is wearing either dodge, combo, or abs.

I was disagreeing with the fleebie tactics. You will do a lot less damage, and help the group less if you pk like that.
