Trolling we have all heard of it probably even experienced it but trolling in MMORPGS is quite obvious.

Trolling is when you try to deliberately insult someone on something that isn't true, but make it come out as fact. Then there is trolling through fact which is the rare counterpart especially in gaming. For instance in Aion calling someone bad and getting your friends to do it was a form of trolling. An example was in Aion trolls on Tiamat were mostly targeted at a legion Left Behind saying they were the place you go to when no one else would take you. Because, the legion accepted a lot of new players under geared and non skilled players.

Trolling is widespread and is almost synonymous with the internet its self, but is it something to get angry towards or react to. There is a saying "don't feed the troll" which means if someone is trolling you don't respond and feed them and then they will go find more prey. The idea is if they cant anger you or irritate you then they will leave you alone because it is no fun to them.

In World of Warcraft we saw trolling in the Barrens chat which was the central chat and the place of trolling. Trolls here would range towards the race of the other players to the class and the infamous "boom chicken" trolling comes in all shapes and sizes in gaming.

The main thing to do is ignore trolling and to ignore the person that is doing it. If you continue to respond to them get ready for infinite trolling..

In MMORPGs there is a skill rotation which is basically a set of skills that you are supposed to use to output the highest DPS possible. You will focus this mostly in PvE to maximise the DPS there is no real skill rotation in PvP as your situation will be changed and dependent on how the enemies react.

In games like World of Warcraft you will notice that your skill rotation is quite simple and that it is a lot of filler. Classes like the Warlock focus on stacking their dots and finishing the rotation with shadow bolt and other skills as needed. In Aion the skill rotations are necessary to perform well in PvE and in PvP starting rotations are necessary as well. However, due to the interrupts a person can perform while in combat you will need to change accordingly.

The thing is your rotation is the ultimate decider on how well you will perform as a DPS and if you lack a good skill rotation you will perform badly and will either need to improve on yours or get another one that performs better. If you still are performing badly you need to reduce your ping (the time it takes to send information to their servers and back) or get some gaming gear such as a Logitech gaming mouse or a keyboard that has macros on it to perform your rotation to the best of your ability.

Here is an example rotation I made for the cleric in Aion.

PvE the cousin to PvP in the fact that it is the exact opposite but similar concept. You go out and kill NPC characters throughout the world as opposed to players. This is what the "care bears" will do they avoid all PvP and focus on only PvE.

Most of the time the healers and pet classes of the games shine the best in PvE. Because they have the highest ability to survive and are able to solo the largest variety of mobs and instances. In games like Aion the Spirit Master and Cleric are the solo kings of the game they are able to solo most if not all the instances leading to 65. However, just because a class is decent in PvE that doesn't mean that it is bad in PvP. Sometimes the class can even shine in both if played right.

However, personally the skill of a gamer is a balance of both not to be the best in one but bad in another. No one likes a one trick pony and this is something that the Aion community needs to learn a lot about. The constant joking of 1v1 me ( you fight their character on a 1 on 1 fight) is getting old and the game needs to realize were you seem to excel in one area you seem to do poorly in another. Most notably on the Tiamat Server is Hisano. He has been called out as a PvE care bear and even called trash in PvP. In fact his skills compared to Sethos the asmodian governor, he is not that good. However, what can you do in a game were titles mean everything and a community of declining stature.

PvP the term used in MMORPG's all over the world but what does it mean. Well from the picture above it simply means Player Versus Player. This is one of the core elements of many multiplayer games as it is a way for players to fight for the title of best PvPer in the game or on the server depending on the type of game. In MMORPGs players will hold tournaments to try and prove who is the best player on the server, and this title is always fought over.

In games like Aion, players will hold a rank on these charts which is supposed to show off the best of the best players, however, that kind of system has proven to fail for in Aion's instance the best players on the charts are not always the best players. However, the best players always will have a spot on those charts if they try to and who knows maybe the next great player is you.

PvP has also sparked some interesting words that are used in MMOs including "care bear" this is a term used to describe someone who only plays the PvE content and avoids PvP as much as they can. You will hear this term passed around in many PvP oriented games and it really is more of a joke than an insult because no one takes it seriously. The term is dying though because its a giant joke and the games have gotten more competitive and the hate and the terms like it don't have a place.

Oh the classic term in gaming AOE the question is what is an AOE why am I using it and why are they good. An AOE simply stands for Area Of Effect. This is where you are going to strike multiple targets as opposed to striking a single enemy.

Let's say I am a warrior using a two handed sword. I will go into combat and use lets say a skill named cyclone. It will hit multiple foes around me as opposed to just a single target like let's say slash. There are many advantages to me using this I am able to wipe out a group of enemies quickly, and that will help me or the group move to the next room to continue the fight. AOE skills are also generally high damage abilities unless they apply a status effect. AOE skills are very situational you should not be using them when you are fighting a single target because they are generally on longer cooldowns that traditional single target skills.

When To Use An AOE
This is dependent on the game the enemy and the situation. The rule of thumb for an AOE is never use it unless you either need to do the following.
1. Draw aggro of several mobs.
2. Wipe a group of mobs quickly.
3. Are under attack and all the mobs are all ready on you.

It is quite common when you are in an instant the guy in your party will use an AOE and pull all of the mobs in the room. In that case your DPS is an idiot and you will leave him for dead if your party cant survive the attack. Remember to time your AOE skills properly and not to be stupid and you will get the job done.
