Re: Guide For Throwing Explosion Pots

soemthing i realized when i started my alchy dexxer alchy scribe mage was that *THROW IT INBETWEEN 2 AND 1* is TERRIBLE advice.

being a percussionist sort of made it easy to learn how to time them. if you have any music training it will help. think of the timer as quarter notes. so you have

4 - 3 - 2 - 1
3 - 2 - 1

so you are supposed to hit inbetween the 2 and 1, but if you hit it too close to the 2 you fail to hit the player, and too close to the one you get owned.

now think about how you would measure it in sixteenth notes

4 - e - and - uh - 3 - e - and - uh - 2 - e - and - uh - 1
3 - e - and - uh - 2 - e - and - uh - 1

i have found the best way to time them is by throwing them on the uh part inbetween 2 and 1 if i have good ping, and on the and part when im lagging or fighting a mage that is casting alot and not running.

and if you want to get super technical on it take it to 32nd notes

4 - e - and - e - and - e - and - uh - 3 - e - and - e - and - e - and - uh 2 - e - and - e - and - e - and - uh - 1

ive tried counting this way and its a bit rough because the timer is pretty fast but if you are really good at counting time you could probably do it this way. hit inbetween the last e or the and depending on the lag situation.

hope this helps
