How To Legit Far Cast

This is a little tricky to explain.
Have

Charged Strike and

Lightning Fury on a right click hotkey. Use X for

Charged Strike and Z for

Lightning Fury.
Now that you have done that there is 2 different types of far cast, remember to hold down shift for each type.


Click Method

For the click method method, you need to have your cursor over your opponents body so you can see their life. Have your right skill click on

Charged Strike then switch to Fury and back to

Charged Strike quickly. About a quarter to a half a second later (Not right after) you click. When you far cast you do not see the actual

Charged Strike, but your enemy does. What you see is what you threw (

Javelin /

Lightning Fury) and then the enemy getting hit by a little lightning thing. This method can be used while running or standing still. When you are running you should initiate a long run, go through with the far cast steps and then click as usual while running. This is mainly used for enemy's that are on the offense.


Name Lock method

This method is by using name lock. When you get a name lock you can far cast on your enemy as long as you have the name locked. To do this I hold down my

Charged Strike

Key on the enemy to have a name lock, then switch between

Charged Strike and

Lightning Fury quickly. Hard to explain exactly the right time to switch between keys, but once you find it you'll know. This is mainly used for enemy's that are running away.

Dueling Strategies


Barbarian

Whirlwind: Put on your

String of Ears. Throw

Lightning Fury's at them to weaken them while they run /

Whirlwind at you, the physical damage will actually do a lot of damage. Only tank and

Charge Strike if you absolutely need to. If they

Whirlwind lock just run and trow

Lightning Fury's. Finish them off with

Charged Strike when their health is low enough. If they

Teleport you will need to

Charged Strike a little bit more, but try not to take too much hits while doing so. The trick to beating a

Teleport barbarian is to run away between the time he

Teleport'd on you and the time he

Whirlwind's.

Concentrate: Either tank and

Charge Strike if they have low resist or run,

Lightning Fury and finish off with

Charged Strike.


Assassin

Trap: Put on your

M'avina's Tenet. You are going to be playing defensively here. Throw

Lightning Fury's at them to weaken them, and far cast using both methods depending on the situation if you know how. Use the click method to far cast if the Assassin is on the offensive running towards you, and the name lock method if they are running away from you. Never try to tank their traps.

Kick: Either tank and

Charge Strike if they have low resist or run,

Lightning Fury and finish off with

Charged Strike.


Amazon

Bow: This requires a lot of timing and name lock abilities. For the most part the bow Amazon will be running away from you, so you will need to use your Harmony when they are not shooting arrow's. Once they shoot an arrow that is going to hit you, switch to your shield and walk, then switch back after the arrow has passed. When you can achieve a name lock do so and far cast. Usually i can delete a bow Amazon in one name lock. If the bow Amazon uses

Lightning Fury to try and take you down, you can either

Lightning Fury back at them, walk up to them in a zigzag Pattern and

Charge Strike them, or run around them and click far cast.

Charged Strike: Run away from them if they chase you while throwing

Lightning Fury at them. Once they have minimal health run in for the kill with

Charged Strike. If you are throwing

Lightning Fury at them and they run back to

Lightning Fury you as well use far cast. Depending on how they are playing, you can use either method of far cast.


Paladin

For all paladin's whenever possible, when they are charging away use the name lock method of far cast.
Also for all paladin's when they

Charge at you,

Lightning Fury them, walk away, then Fury again and walk. Because they are charging they have a very low chance of blocking your physical damage.

Blessed Hammer: Easy match unless they absorb. Predict where they are and use your

Lightning Fury on them, name lock and far cast. Be conscious of

Blessed Hammer fields. If they

Teleport on you

Charged Strike.

Smite /

Zeal: Either tank and

Charged Strike if they have low resist. Or run,

Lightning Fury and finish off with

Charged Strike. And use the strategies listed for all Paladin's.

Fist of the Heavens: Hard match. You have to name lock far cast them as quickly as you can, or consider yourself dead.


Necromancer

Bone: Avoid

Bone Spear's and

Bone Spirit's while getting in range to do a quick click far cast. If they run, use the name lock method.

Poison: Put on your

M'avina's Tenet. You are going to be playing defensively here. Throw Fury's at them to weaken, and far cast using both methods depending on the situation if you know how. Use the click method to far cast if the Necromancer is on the offensive running towards you, and the name lock method if they are running away from you. Never try and tank their

Poison Nova.


Druid

Windy: If they don't

Teleport it is an easy win.

Lightning Fury far cast until deleted.
If they do

Teleport it is a whole lot harder. When they

Teleport on you run away from

Tornado range and

Lightning Fury far cast.

Fissure: Stand still and delete with name lock far cast, easy win.


Sorceress

Hard match. If all they do is

Teleport away,

Dodge the Blizzard / Lightning / Fire Ball until you are in range for a name lock, and name lock far cast. If they

Teleport stomp then you can either try and tank them and

Charged Strike them at point blank, or run away

Lightning Fury quick far cast.
