Yeah, a question

[Mummy]

Alright. Say that you get gang attacked by a fire giant berserker of your rank, a drow shaman of your rank, and an avian illusionist of your rank.

You're a human dark-knight and you had no mana BEFORE the battle began.

How do you win?

What happened to me was this:

I get attacked, flee, aura, attack and hurt the avian a pretty bit, get blinded, flee, run through thera, get away, de-blind, head for purples (used mine during the fight (I know, i should have more on hand....))
fire giant is checking there, attacks me with aura, I have no aura, bodyslam twice, flee, check for purples, none there, find fire giant inside east gate, attack, get bodyslammed, flee with 2 hp, run like a gnome from the guy and get away. But I didn't want to get away, I wanted to win. How do you do that?

Thanks in advance.

(P.S. Please, if you know who I am, keep it a secret. Thank you.)

What's the point of this "question"?

A) You can't play obviously.
B) You don't know how to prepare.
C) You got ganked, who cares?

They are all together all the time, or what? Not much you can do 3 on 1. You should look for a way to combine summon with passdoor/ other kinds of barriers like mob aggro. If you are just summoning them to the meat store or something stupid that isn't going to work. The most important thing is to ally with somebody else ASAP. Other than that its just death via body/harm, not like it hasn't been done effectively by grunts before.

all classes being equal nothing you can do about a 3 v 1 unless you have lots of healing objects to outlast them with, and try to split them up. I'd suggest trying to land a plague, if they stay together for the tick, they'll infect each other (although against good players thats a huge limitation of it).

but the one first plagued will lose lots of stats and will get worse over time, he's either the prime target or you let him get bogged down with his moves sucked away so he cant help the other two. if plague hits them all, they lose quite a bit of strength, which translates to a defense and their damage. curse shaman, silence illusionist when they are split up. if you cant split them up, run and hide.

If there was a function on the board to automatically filter out people with an ignore list so we cant see their annoying childish posts, I'd have one or two people on that list already. shughurd is trying to attention whore, so just ignore him.

What do you mean you're using Java? JMC or AR's web based java client?

I think you mean the Java telnet emulator. I don't think you can log with that, but if you want to just use telnet you can. Open a command prompt and type:

telnet abandonedrealms.com 9000 -f c:\mylog.txt

that will create a mylog.txt file that will capture everything you see. You could also just use something other than the java web client.

Question: How do I defeat three competent players who are using a variety of powerful classes on my own with no mana and no purples?

Answer: You don't.

Most. Pointless. Topic. Ever.

Unless I am mistaken summon also is checked by saves, so you should look at their eq before trying to summon and even without looking you should be able to realize that:

1) Avian ill - avians have mental resist so it may be tougher to summon them.
2) Drow shaman - drows have charm resist and I think summon is a charm/mental spell.
3) Fire giants have mental vuln so it should be easiest to summon him.

And if you want to win a battle against three and you do not even have enough purples to finish the fight you are obviously underestimating the being prepared part. There is a reason why everybody always repeats that when people ask advice on forum.
