Celtic Heroes

i am asking this question because i have seen some amazing KSing happen in Herne where i believe completely that my group will get the kill and someone comes along and completely owns the boss with their group and they get the kill even though they started after us... i was also really wondering is kills go by group DPS or single handed DPS as where the rogue of a group does not deal enough damage as opposed to someone outside of the group with better DPS getting the kill. I just have been wondering because there are rival clans in Herne and there has been KSing going on in the past and present. Thanks for all of your input though it helped me understand it a little more, but even as i said before and you are able to see here people have been answering different things to my question, some of which contradict each other.

hey Killa,

sorry to hear that there is such terrible competition on Herne. This is an old problem. I feel especially bad when a group that is struggling with a boss has been fighting for a while to get the boss to 75%. The members use plat items and such to help aid the fight. Then, a group of high levels way above the boss come in and take the kill. I've seen this happen way too many times on my server.

The issue of kill stealing has gone down because the more hardcore community leveled waay higher than the casual community since update 3. After the exp weekend and a few months, the more casual community has leveled high enough to start killing bosses. This creates competing among the various groups for the kills. The group that does the most damage gets the kill.

I guess there would be two or three solutions for this problem:

1) Making its possible for individually hosting bosses in dungeons.
2) Once a group of a certain number of people attacks boss, the boss locks and nobody outside of group can attack. (Sort of like arena but reversed.)
3) The suggestions where heals count as well as aggro.

Definatly goes by group. Killa remember when we did fal with that group of 4 rogues 110 and lower? It was us vs a 132 using a combo to try and get kill but we still got it.
