Talk:Bandit Firestarter

I'm considering adding a note about the Bandit Firestarters. Namely that they use Flare, which does a considerable bit of damage. I find that I take more damage from the level 1 firestarters than I do from the level 3 Bandit Blood Sworn. But I'm new to Guild Wiki (and wikis in general) so don't want to add something that will be considered useless. Any opinions on the matter? -- Nkuvu (December 13, 2005)


 * Argh, breaks my heart when someone's afraid to add because someone else might not need that info as much =/ Do it! Hopefully, if anyone has a problem, they will BRING IT TO THE TALK PAGE FIRST before going crazy with reverts (this isn't a minor edit, so the parties responsible best pay attention to this little parable). I'd probably stick it under Description; it talks about them being ranged attackers. Maybe add a new paragraph there along the lines of, "Their Flare attack is one of the most damaging things in pre-" blah blah blah. It -is- a rather good note, actually. Couple of times I've been wiped doing pre-sear by these little buggers cos I didn't prioritise targets properly. Might even be worth sticking in the pre-sear guide somewhere, I'll have to take a look. --Nunix 21:09, 13 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Like I said, new to GuildWiki. I know it stated that they use the Flare skill, so that may be enough. I also need to find out a bit more, though. I seem to recall that if you encounter more than one, only one of them uses Flare. But I'm not positive on that and want to be sure before I spout off about it. Thanks for the note. --Nkuvu


 * Hmm, almost positive they gang up on you. It's easy to tell, you can find two right by the chest at the bandit camp. Off to test! --Nunix 21:29, 13 December 2005 (UTC) update: nope, looks like you're right. In fact, there's a group of three there, and only two would attack -at all- -- I was hitting the third and he just stood there, in ready-to-attack animation, but never follow through with any damage. Inneresting!


 * Nkuvu - I moved your note to a notes section and reworded it a little. General notes about creatures like that can go in a Notes section after the Items Dropped.  Good info though, and if you get attacked by multiple ones, they all will attack w/Flare.  --Rainith 22:23, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
