I need someone to show me basics of dealing with warriors as a skirmisher. I have zero luck kiting warriors and had embarrassing losses to naked warriors that I simply could not shake off.

Sini I would be happy to work with you on this. Hit me up in game or on TS

Sini, I won't be around for a few weeks, but just a few tips from an experienced skirm: 1.) Trueshot is your best friend. The easiest way to beat a warrior is to run them out of stamina. Trueshot hits like a truck, as well as does damn good damage to there mana and stam. A 140 dex skirm with lee spar bow hits for around 90 damage and 50 mana and 50 stam damage. It also has likes 3 second cool own. 2.) Try to lure them into open places, and always keep moving. Also never shoot running straight forward, always strafe left or right slightly when aiming, this dramatically reduces the wobble on your aim.

Two more little tips that could really be used by any class: 1) When the warrior does get in close to you, and your waiting for a cool down on evade or can't get away, pull out your shield and parry as much as you can. This will really reduce the damage you take, and sap them for a good chunk of stamina. 2) There is no idle time in battle. When you aren't attacking of parrying, your doing your transfers( mana to stam, ect.) . The biggest difference between a new player and a vet is stat management, do your transfers often, and you'll see a big jump in your survivability.

Yes, I am working on getting all my transfers to 100. I have mana to stam to 100 and got my wis to 40.
