I have noticed a few times people running around with a MOB on their tail obviously trying desperately to get away and seconds later, dying.
Just in case people havent figured it out yet. /YELL
yes, i know it was a sign of weakness in EQ1 but it really helps.
1) When in combat your power/health regen rate is nothing like that of when you are not! If you yell, you break the encounter and go back to non-combat regen rates. This can give you those extra seconds you need to reach a guard or zone.
2) When you yell and break the encounter, you also unlock the MOB allowing friendly passers by to take the beast from you. On too many occaisons I have sprinted after someone telling them to yell so I can save them and have them still end up a messy heap because they didnt.
3) Some guards will not help you unless you Yell. They will quite happily stand and watch you get mashed to a pulp. Hey, you don't ask for help they arent gonna risk themselves giving it!
I hope that helps someone...and if you see me running past Yelling...please help :)
If anyone has any further info on the benefits of yelling, please tell. I dont want to miss out on anything.
