I think I get what you're saying, if you're in First Person mode and you don't aim the combo req's at the target but aim the last one at it it doesn't get aggro until you get the combo off? Is that what you're trying to say?

[PookZ]

dont have to be in 1st perso, just turn off a good 90degrees and miss all but the last shot. If you only hit the last on the salvo line, it gives the big dmg but doesnt break the root untill the full dmg has been put on.

I'm sorry but this is pretty common knowledge. Just look at the way us rangers use the xbow for aoe grinding.. same idea just with piercing shots instead of salvo.

[PookZ]

Is it common knowledge that a mob only comes after the last shot of the salvo spread? i dont think so...


Normally it comes at the first hit, salvo does 3 on the last combo.. monsters and root / mezzed people. only get free or agro'd at the very last hit of salvo.. so no.. its not common sense, its a bug.

I think you misunderstood my point. As it is quite difficult to explain.

Its not a so called "miss charge" and hit. its more. As the monster or player stays rooted/mezzed for the first two shots that do actually give dmg.

I used that salvo bug many times, and here's some aditional info:

DO NOT use salvo as a final combo, cause if it's not fatal and the first arrow kills the target, the target gets green (i.e. dead or npc = out of combat) but can still hit you during the last two salvo shots.

So in fact YOU can die too when firing off those last two shots even though your mob is dead.

Please keep that in mind.

This is VERY commonly known. It's the same as melee air charging combos. Your target eats the combo finisher, but because you turned 90 degrees, the combo starters won't cause damage to your target breaking Mezz or damage breaking CC.

-rep if I could give it. Read the AoC forums dude or watch some PVP videos and you'll see/hear about this all the time..
