He might have been a red phantom farmer, I'm not really sure. But I personally think after the red phantom died when you got close to him and the blue invaded, you should have just let those two duke it out. This guy was using a greatshield, which in open quarters PvP is terrible, so I wouldn't have worried too much about him killing the hunter anyway. Again though, you seemed to backtrack a lot and out into wide open areas, which in typically PvP is good however in the forest you can use the trees as cover and cause your enemies to hit them. it is kind of the idea of not losing ground, exchanging ground. Circle around. As well, you held your shield up far too often I think, you want that down unless you are blocking. If you suddenly have to BS or something it won't work because you were blocking. As well it shows too much of a sign for when you are going to attack, your shield is down. You were really telegraphing a lot of your plans mid combat, which enemies will pick up on.
And don't call me sensei! I don't like attention.
Tolvo completely understand you not wanting unnecessary attention - I edited the post.
I decided to add some additional commentary to hopefully shed light on the my actions during the invasions.
When we I first invaded the host immediately summoned - in the forest I treat any attempt to summon by a host as a hostile action. A summon is telling me the host wants to bang - if he wanted to be honorable then he would not have summoned and I would not have banged him. I would have let the first hunter fight the host especially since the other hunter was closer - kicked backed and waited my turn.
Now in regards to the red that was summoned. You can see in the vid I trailed the other hunter when I saw the summon signal - I always do this just in case the host's summon attempt is successful - I wanted and needed to guard the other hunters back while he engaged the host. You will note I was initially going hit the red with a CSS to the face but you see in the video I immediately switched back to my shield when he starts to bow. I did not bow since I was too close to the red and did not want a BS (I don't trust reds unless given a reason to). You will also see when the red invaded he was making a bee-line directly to the hill where the other hunter and the host were engaged - this to me indicated a bang was about to pop off. I make it point when I invade to not be in the line of sight of the stairs (or don't have my back to stairs) - I have been BS'd too many times when a red has invaded while I was fighting the host on the hill. You can see in the video the red did not initially see me - he saw the two fighting on the hill and that was were he was going in my opinion. My job was to keep the red from joining the host on the hill and I think I was successful at least with that objective. I pulled him as far away as possible - and yes I knew the ents could not hurt him. Divide and conquer in my book.
After the red was summoned all honor rules were thrown out the window from the 100th floor.
Remember the host tried to summon - he was looking for bang so when the second hunter invaded I wanted to serve him the same cold dish of gangbang he wanted me to have. The tables turned on him. Once a host makes a summon attempt that shows me he is a banger,ganker, farmer, etc. I always PM hosts who complain about being banged by hunters and tell them "Never try to summon".
Yeah - skare told mentioned to me about keeping my shield up to much - this is an area I still need to work on.
Everyone please watch the vid and let me know if my actions during the invasion were honorable or dishonorable.
Still learning..Still learning..
