Lets take your 'go outside example' and you tell me what 'button' in real life lets you lock onto the person you're facing? Which 'button' makes you auto-turn to always face that person and allows you to perfectly circle in and out? What 'button' allows you to target that person and perfectly roll past their attacks in an exact way that you end up behind them? What 'button' allows you to lock the target and perfectly roll away from your target and immediately come back up shield raised to block whatever they're bringing? What 'button' allows your 'magic arrows' to automatically lock and target your opponent and home them? You run outside with lets say a small metal shield, say in the form an average small shield made with simple wood covered in bronze lined with leather. Point is there is more than one way to solve a problem.Д¬lick to expand.Alright let me first state I mean no disrespect towards you when I say this.Д«ut your ONLY argument you ever list is the whole shield backing away thing. if anything should have made the ring harder to get or earn in the first place.ДЄlso. maybe they fix the lock on with the ring. then there will be another build someone has that owns everyone and blah blah blah. Just looks like he brought a knife to a gun fight. if he had that ring on too and not flipping around advertising his whereabouts to the world. you will see that I was talking about the guy rolling around prior to getting the spell cast on him. but it was his own mistake that cost him that battle. granted all he could do at that point was pray. if you watch the video his dumb ass rolled around and walked right up and took that spell. i fully understand what those spells do and that ring as I have them. Trying to get through PvE and then entering/focusing PvP around this time is a mistake and only leads to frustration ring or not.Д¬lick to expand.yes yes. Like I said in a different thread, at this point people have their preferred equip loadout (unless you're a meleer trying to wield one of the enormous weapons) and their stuff is upgraded. The one common thread I see with the RoF complaints now are people who have no experience pvping, and often are starting trying to pvp too late in their first game )in the SL 50+ range) and don't themselves have the ring. The only thing I'd like to see with it is either a minimum lvl, maybe sl 25-35 or even the 50s, so that inexperienced pvp'rs can get into the forest or whathaveyou and get experience, or an area that has some sort of 'magic field' that would disrupt such magics and can act as a pvp hub similar to the forest. I used to agree that it was overpowered, but obviously my opinion is changing. Ultimately I rolled too far for an attack and fell off the the bridge while it was moving, but it was fun enough that the random guy pm'd me afterwords and laughed with me about it.

Last night I got invaded in AL and we cat and moused each other fogged through the level eventually battling around the turning bridge. It comes down to skill and a little bit of luck and it is intense and fun. PvP really comes down to realistic combat when you have 2 moderately skilled pvp combatants dueling without being able to target one another. I can understand what FROM was trying to get at by putting both a ring and a spell with that effect in the game. I've had some great battles in the SL 50-70 range against both RoF and Non-RoF combatants.

Personally I RoF invade and get invaded all the time. This is no offense between you or anyone, but, again, there is a difference between pvp being broken and being pvping with no skill. The invader probably had little skill as well since he ran up to face the person and casted a spell that immediately gives away his position and clearly marks him with the red hand. It would have been easy in that situation to roll past the flame towards the hand and (the sword was long enough) swipe the caster. If 'you' (the proverbial you, not you personally) have any experience with the fire skills you'll know that every one of them are easily rolled away from and most have a long charge up(as said in the video comments). Anyone who sees a pyromancer spark up and turns to block it is going to have a tough time with pvp RoF or no. That doesnt prove pvp is broken, it proves that the host had zero skill and didnt belong running around the forest with 90k souls and 10 humanity in human form. Although I will grant you that RoF is arguably overpowered under certain situations (mainly extremely low sl levels getting it twinked).
