The Runner

Will only attack another player when outnumbering them. In any one on one situation, or in a group with lesser numbers, heads for the keep door.

You typically only see this players back as he/she's constantly running away from you.

Join PvP to fight? I don't think so...

To be followed by:
The Chaser
Will chase a lone nightblade across the map relentlessy to get them even though they never have a chance of catching

I once chased a nightblade before that kept trying to kill me and sent mean messages. I went out to the open field and thought the same until I caught her stealthed by a rock AFK. I don't know how she died, because I only blew a kiss at her when it happened, I swear!

The NASCAR aka The RunVx’er

Orc Stamsorc with max resistances, BRDW... runs as fast as he can “kiting” waiting for chasers to run outta stam so he can spam 74 dizzy swings on a stam broke target. Knows how to ani cancel Dawny. King Potatoe Smasher

This is my very biased take on the subject since I have only ever played one character.



The Troll
One man, one siege and a whole lot of patience.

Ever since hitting GO this is by far my favorite thing to do. Especially when a Zerg rolls up and they sees my one ballista as I cloak away.

The zerg accuser - the guy that immediately messages you and calls you a zergling after he dies.

The Duelists
This empty space in the middle of the road between BRK and Sej? looks like the perfect place for a duel.

Brk/sej or Ash/nikel forever

and Bleaker's - Chalman

we also forgot the Bruma-Dragonclaw and the Vlastarus-Brindle-Carmala ap farmers.....why mess with other ppl when you can siege empty keeps indefinitely?

The PvE Guy
This is stupid, but I really want 25k ap for end of campaign 50 transmute geode. I'll try and avoid the main loop and ride out in the wilderness. Towns with quests should be sanctuaries!

Fixed. Based on the witnessing much ranting in pve only guild chats.

Personally I identify more as The Capable Casual when I pvp.

Pssht. You’ve got 5 buttons. Slot Snipe in all 5 in case you miss your spammable button.

The Tower Runner
Here they come finally. Cue the Benny Hill music because I’m going to run circles while I wait for my ultimate to charge.

Great, how am I supposed to get this song out of my head now, huh? HUH?

Oh, and 10/10

They do. If I actually manage to pull a win on a genuinely good player who isn't crutching on the latest cheese, I'll salute-loop-3 them, and if they kick my butt, I'll try to send a "nice fight" message. I have a lot of respect for good players and hope to be one some day. Bags are reserved for friends in PvE. Garbage players or cheese chasers in PvP just get my back as I walk away. Although, I have to admit to occasionally [angrily] jumping up and down on the heads of dead Goliath bashers these days. It's just so gross and cheesy to play that way.
