how do you far cast?

i was dueling with my auradin, (pwning everyone with ease except the smiters hehe) when a zon comes in, hostiles me, and uses charged strike or something of that sort and i die. i ask about it in the room, and people say its called farcast, and they explained to me you can attack from afar.

can someone tell me how you do this?

also, can any character do this? a far cast zealer would be cool!!

this is not written by me :


Step 1: (Follow EVERY direction as typed)

Step 2: Place The Skill Throw On X For Hot Key. Must Be On Righ Click

Step 3: Place The Skill Charged Strike On Z For Hot Key. Must Be On Right Click. (You Can Do Both Of These By Configuring Your Hotkeys In The Options Menu..Make Sure You Click Accept When Done.)

Step 4: Find Your Target (Monster,Player, GHEED!) And Stand A Distance From it. The Distance Doesnt Matter But Make Sure Its Far Enough Away That If You Hold Shift And CS That It Doesnt Hit Them Or Doing All This Would Be A Waste Of Time.

Step 5: Hold Shift

Step 6: Highlight The Enemies Name. (Do Not Click There Name Just Highlight it)

Step 7: Make Sure Z Is On Right Click, The Goal Is To Hit X So You Switch To Throw, Than Hit Z So YOu Switch Back To Z, Than Right Click.




This is where most will have a problem. The goal is..start off on z but dont right click, instead hit x than z then right click. The switch over from x back to z has to be kinda fast, the actual right click can wait a lil bit longer. BUT the whole attack should take no longer than one ''one one hundred'' Just like hide and go seek right?

Ill say it ONE more time, z then x then z then right click.... one fast motion but a SLIGHT SLIGHT pause at the actual right click. ALSO you will throw a java, but on the other persons pc itll show as if you farcasted cs. If you throw the Java then you either got it right or right clicked to soon and through an actual plain java.


also what realm do you play? if east ladder ill duel you.

It can be done in a legal way, but afaik only CS zons can do it.


Usually everytime you see someone using far cast in a public duel game, they use a certain hack that makes sure you trigger far cast everytime you use CS.

Normally, using FC in a legit way isn't so easy, so you can assume there are only a few duellers out there who can pretty constantly FC.


I'd say in 99% or more of all cases a hack, usually simply called ''farcast'', is involved.

Actually it does not have to be a zon, charged strike is required though (not sure if other skills work that way).

I've seen Ed (Luder) farcast on a paladin using a spear with cs charges :smiley:

Also, it might be a good idea to leave GM/BM out of this topic - there seem to be heated debates without conclusion whenever it is brought up :wave:

You can bet that anyone that uses farcast in a duel is using it illegally (hacked). It is next to impossible to consistently far cast legitly with charged strike, especially under pressure. I practiced with my old cszon and would get 1 outta 4 maybe, but that wasn't in a duel with a smiter desync charging me.
Some of the farcasters know that it can be done legitly and claim to do so....lies. If they nail you with every cs from a distance, they are using the illegal farcast. It's a nasty hack and most farcasters try and justify it as a script. It alters the d2 program, therefore it's a hack. I always watch some rude kid get beat several times by a skilled dueler and then ask where do I get farcast. It's very sad.
When they join a game and start nk'ing everyone, I put on a little stack gear, tgods and a wisp and ruthlessly nk them till they leave. Then, of course I return to fun gm duels.
 
Look for the other topic with almost the same name in the amazon forum and I made a video of how to do it.
