War of Emperium – January 5, 2011

I have been active again with siege because I found a way to enjoy my War of Emperium experience using my Shadow Chaser. I was able to survive longer now because of techniques that I discovered through the experience that I had. From my personal view a character can be competitive in WOE again once he reached 130 and above. Fire Armors is a must in WOE now if you don't want to be raped with successive Dragon Breath from a group of Rune Knights.

Feeling the action at the Agit entrance

The first hour of our siege revolves on wandering on Agits which contains what we call "aksyon". The term "aksyon" or action in English refers to Agits containing a competitive guild that could be a potential target for skirmishes. It's like we are looking for adrenaline rush by battling opposing guilds and wasting a lot of supplies.

A successful Emergency Call from the opposing guild

As the siege hour pass by, our guild master was able to find a hot Agits. But we have pinned our attacks to Hong Roo also known as the Solar God Helm Factory. It's the Agit located at the lower left part of Greenwood Lake.

Defending the Agit by sniping

We had a series of being conquered and taking over the Agit for a lot of times. The most exciting part of this siege is breaking the precast of the opposing guild then trying to break the emperium with full of opponents hugging the emperium. The most frustrating part that I have is being one hit killed with exceed break with a life of 35k+. But once dead I have to go back and back up my guildmates again.

Taking over an Agit during the last minutes

Minutes before the siege ends we stopped our blood lust attacks and concentrate on owning an Agit. We found a suitable Agit to spend the rest of the siege and prepared our precast. We stayed there for a while but to our surprise we were attacked by an alliance that we raided earlier. To make it worst both guilds have used Emergency Call on our Agit just to ensure a successful conquer. Our defenses was broken then one by one we fall and spawned.

Defending our Agit

Because of this unexpected event our guild master ordered us to conquer another Agit instead of reclaiming our Payon Agit. So our target shifted to Valkyrie Realm where we have successfully conquered an agit. Several guilds attempted to last minute break our new Agit but we have been successful on defending. In addition, a guild was successful in using Emergency Call on our Agit but my friend Jaina Drei was able to cast Deep Sleep Lullaby inflicting sleep status on most of their members. Her smart move gave an advantage to our guild to burn time and to single out their members until they are wiped out. We defended our Agit successfully as the War of Emperium end. 

Defending our last minute Agit

We are happy that we have conquered an Agit last minute. What I have learned on this siege is that Masquerade Ignorance is the best way to stop skill dependent characters. Manhole is the best way to take out key characters. And Exceed Break damage of Royal Guards can reach up to 35k+ during siege. I have an idea how they did it. It just needs confirmation.
