Many of you may already know this, but for those of you that don't it can be very useful.
As a warrior, cleric, and possibly warlock, you can remove your enemy's buffs.
wtfhax how?
The easiest to remove are fences or STR INT buffs. All you have to do is select your target, use both skills at a distance then stop yourself from casting the skills. They will "magically" be removed.
The skills must be greater than or equal to those you are trying to remove.
This also works with protect, cleric defense, warrior screens, and probably scream mask. You need to be really careful with warrior screens though, you don't want to actually give them to your opponent.

Another useful skill is HolyWord. If you have sub cleric, keep it at level 1. Buff their cleric with it before he casts HolySpell on his party and, assuming he's too dumb to realize it, you'll have a whole party full of vulnerable targets. If 7 of them already have holyspell, wait until one dies and gets resurrected and instantly cast the useless holyword on him.

See an annoying uncapped bard around out of safezone? Probably AFK or someone elses multicliented character. Punch him. It'll only take a few hits and most SRO players of a certain group aren't smart enough to realize their tambour or dance is gone. (Or for safezone bards, use a lightning thief / earth wizard (Earth wiz not tested)

Having a jobwar, turned reswar? Res the opposing forces! Some forget to turn off their *insert 3rd party program* auto accept res. Make sure to res them with normal res, not oblation / immolation. And do not res clerics, of course. But why? Because your group should be able to take out an unbuffed target is seconds without black res.

Again.. this may be common knowledge, but it rarely happens against me and I couldn't find anything about it on the forums so maybe not.

Great for Medusa and group PvP, fun for the whole family!

If I missed anything feel free to add.

Used to do those to piss of Turks on my server who used to get in a party and use those buffs to kill everyone else repeatedly.

those are pretty good tips... but how do i be a asshat?

I have been debuffing Turkish gang banging pvpers like this at dw for ages funny thing is wizards with life don't notice they don't have fences anymore run out acting like gods and die so fast lol. But the holy word part is lame if your a cleric you have to max both of them.. if you die and you have to rebuff you use the other one if spell is under cool down

90% of the clerics dont max both to save SP

I got that tip from this forum and I tried it but, OMG it is so hard to time right -_-. Still fun when it works though. The buffing over str/int one is also nice.

lol... that is tough.... you hav to time that to the millisecond

Blader who is using firewall cannot attack Warrior on 0.7 meters with Bicheon skills (except sword throwings), while Warrior can attack him with 2h sword (only).

not really you just have to watch for the cast and by the time the buff goes on and takes effect it cancels.

Pft I haven't seen you cancel too many casts . Sometimes it's hard to tell whether they're doing offering or heal orbit/bless.

thats because im always defending you instead of healing you
