I PMed this to a leader ages ago as a revolutionary tactic for P2P wars.

1.5 months down the line it's never even been looked into to my knowledge and is certainly no longer new/something to keep a secret. Since as you saw at today's war - other clans have realized and now use this tactic too.

I'll post the suggestion again here for everyone to brainstorm with.

QUOTE (Me @ January 03, 2009 05:48 am)

This is my proposed tactic for the start of our next P2P PVP war.
Miasmic Barrage looks pretty pointless on the surface but, is it?

If upon rushing/being rushed, 5 of our mages use Miasmic Barrage we will obtain a huge advantage over our opponents. The spell not only has the power to deal more damage than Ice Barrage, but it will actually slow down the attacks of every player it hits by 50%. This includes range attacks.

At the start of a P2P war it's very difficult for even the most seasoned fighters to tank. However, if the majority of our opposing clan have been hit by Miasmic Barrage then their attacking force will actually decrease by half. 50 people become no more effective than 25 people purely because all of their attacks are half the speed. This effect lasts for 48 seconds.

There is no reason why, every minute or so (1 minute is a LONG time in p2p multi. Like 5-10 minutes in f2p) a Melee-Mage hybrid can't whip out his staff and send a miasmic barrage over at their main pile. Followed by an Ice Barrage to flounder any possible attempt for most of the targets to retaliate.

This tactic unique and has never been used to my knowledge. It's not about inflicting damage but preventing them from inflicting damage and making it exactly 2x easier for our members to tank.

The only downside is the corrupt staff costs 900k. But that's more than enough for one war and while I appreciate it is expensive, I doubt you'll have trouble finding a few people to do this. I'm down.

Only requirement is 97 magic. But these days like every serious pker has 99 magic.


I didn't expect to be listened to because I'm just a member, but I heard you guys got raped tonight and our opponents did this. So I'll say it again. Consider this please.

Ok I support this idea. It makes complete sense if we want to keep up with p2p warring. I'll bring the staff regardless next p2p war and I hope a few of you that can afford it will do the same. We only need few anyway and it seems like just an excellent idea. In fact thinking about it if we had done this when stoke said way back when we could have had a signicant advantage in all our p2p wars. We certainly will in a lot of cases if we start using them now.

I will buy a staff, who else will?

At last raid, I asked if they wanted this barrage. I don't think they realize how good it is. I agree it is a great tactic when we are charged.

I actually was sending miasmics around, but since I was leading, it was kinda difficult

It really is a great strategy, but I dont think we should focus too much on it. Some people are willing to put forth the money, but our goal is to prepare WG for pvp. Zuriels is used more towards CWA.

Although we could have several people use miasmics on a raid, and switch to range or cast without the staff to prevent if from decaying to quickly. You could then protect it.

However, its up to the actual people who are willing to dedicate their money like that. Given the amount of P2P wars we have, I dont think it would practical to ask people to buy the staff. Its up to the individual.

Good idea though.

Ya it will be great if we get a huge pile with just 1 miasmic. P2p wars are fast too so we only need to hit most of em' once for it to really cripple em.

Edit: I'm thinking just 2-4 ppl per CWA war will do. I'll do it. Maybe with bto me you and stoke thats enough? One or two more could be very nice. It would just be nice to know we can implement it into our strategy.

Miasmics can be used as like a sniping kinda thing; they can just go around and just like target people one by one till they're slowed.

Its a good idea.

Ya I was thinking we don't really have a sniping unit. So this could be that kind of thing? Just for p2p.

Currently these items are very cheap considering they can last many wars. You merely gotta equip it every time you want to slow down the other team.

[BC]RuneScript> *** [ GE ]: Results: 2 | [M] Zuriel's Staff: 1,520,000gp 1,600,000gp 1,680,000gp (Today: No +/-) | [M] Corrupt Zuriel's Staff: 716,110gp 753,800gp 791,490gp (Today: No +/-)

Taken from today.

Ya i'd argue that its better to use the non-corrupt as well. It will last an hour rather then 15 mins. So thats saving you 4 times the money or something when you buy the hour one. I'm sure most ppl that like sniping can afford to have this. I really think it will last months too.

I didn't ignore any pm's lol. Me and Stoke were in agreement. So I decided to get the ball rolling and structure a list of people that were interested in being ready to do this. So by time of next war I'll bring this list up again so we will be ready for this tactic.


Edit: woops wrong topic lmao. I just woke up.
