I don't have an ani toon but just wondered what sort of things they were trying to guard against.

Thats over 250 - its at 900 or so, but i do it anyway - destroy oil with main pet while pbaoe'ing the grey cons trying to leech ftw

I've done my best to understand this warning..but tbh, how do they expect animists to know that it was an illigal thing? (apart from this post that is) I mean, I would never have guessed it was a bug exploit. What if we stand in the tower and throw mushrooms down on the ground, is this a bug exploit too? (not sure if its possible, i havent tried my animists out in rvr yet)

Yeh its possible Using the same /gro as the one to stick pet on oil just alittle lower, But yeah no one though of it like a bug because the primary fact you can do it, and because you can only do it with the main pet everyone though that was ok to do that with the main pet.

Tbh i dont think ppl will stop doing it, Not until orbs can go through keep gates atleast and go up and hit the oil insted. Atm the only things i see useful as a ani now are Pet pbaoe and Lifetap. Spam shrooms takes to long and i only use ti if albs are about to rush and i wanna kill a few before i die. and orbs are aload of poo tbh in rvr

You don't need to carry a tape measure around with you when you go to RvR. People who accidentally go above 250 units aren't an issue (and it shouldn't be possible in normal play). The problem is with the 'snap-to' system with turrets. As most Animists know, Mythic fixed a problem with turrets being able to be cast in vertical surfaces a few patches back by making them 'snap' to the nearest horizontal surface. Some people abused this by casting turrets as high up as they could so that they would snap to a place that was out of range and out of LoS of the Animist - for example the top of a tower. These people would have been well aware of what they were doing and should be reminded that it's not allowed.

cba to do that stuff anyway, more fun to pretend to be a normal caster

Tho it sux my bombs can't go through the gates anymore when i'm on the inside. Kinda gimped my anim to a totally crap caster

Aye anis are kinda gimped in a way. Spam shrooms = Lame rp's Like 50-100 or so a kill =/), Nothing can hit oil seen astho thats actualy a bug and lifetap dosnt damage it, Orbs wont go through the gate and hit it either. i Just use life tap most the time while roaming or defending, shoulda made an sorc tbh

The orbs is the reason am not full arb anymore becuase they were useless always getting outrun, Bugging up and not hitting anything or just beeing genoraly lame.
