Proof against Hold Person

[Genisto]

It could be a good idea to put an attribut on equipments like "Proof Against Poison" or a potion that immune to this kind of spell, especially for solo players because this spell can kill a player too easily in a solo play. I try to beat a level 4 Quest with my Paladin level 7 with a high will power and Light Fortification (25%), and I still get killed by this spell in 2 or 3 secondes (Full HP to empty). Enemies always get critical damage regardless of the damage reduction (DR).

Almost of the time that I have been killed, is by this spell.

There are protections against Death spell, but not for Hold Person.

Freedom of Movement
100% Fortification
Spell Resistance

[Elmaster_Thay]

Warforged are immune vs paralysis

[Xeraphim]

Kill the caster first.

FIRST.

The rest, clean up as you go.

Also, Trip and Stun work great on caster types. SPAM RELIGIOUSLY.

you should stock up on the Freedom of movement ones " Suulomades cookies". It is a 10 minute potion that wards against hold spells n stuff.

They are awesome for low level!!!

And because sometimes pictures say it better...

Lol...

these threads against Hold are so cute.

[t0r012]

jeez and they just completely nerfed mobs hold spells. They last all of what .00235 seconds now?

it was annoying at 30 seconds+ but the silly sort time they last now I'm glad they wasted a spell casting hold now. It circles the melees around me just in time for me to jump over them and kill the casters with out one or two of them on my back.

+1 for helping the slower people...

I can't remember the last time i was killed by hold person.
It don't last that long,6 secs i think it was.
By the way its not the spell that kills you,its the enemy melee mobs.

heres a few things that may help.
If i recall right hold person is a will save.
Find a item that raises your will save.
get better fort,you can get 75% fort at your level.
freedom of movement.
spell resistance.
if you don't mind remaking and have it...Warforge are immune vs paralysis.
going after the caster first in order to kill them,triping and/or stuning them will make it less likely they will get off a hold person before they die.

You can all ways lure there melee friends away form them.Kill off the melee mobs then kill the caster.Got hold person?Not a big deal all the casters friends are dead.maybe one of these tips will help you.

No picture but...

Having a will save works too.

[lazylaz]

I say get over it, mate. If we can use it against them then they can use it against us.

[Talon_Moonshadow]

A lot of soloers choose WF chars for this reason, btw.

But there are alternatives, as mentioned above.

Plus spells have a limited range.....so killing casters at a long distance is possible too.

As well, as taking on things one at a time. The same casters that cast Hold Person seldom melee you. So killing the monsters one at a time, using some pulling method works as well.

It often amazes me that people can solo quests, without learning any kinds of tactics other than rush and melee everything.....and complain when that fails to work.

[DaggomaticDwarf]

SO his only option is the cookies eh

[tunabomber]

funny how a new guy with only a lvl 7 char has no clue and gets owned by casters and wants to make another dumb change to the game,go back to wow dude

[Gkar]

SO his only option is the cookies eh

Or a will save
Or an SR item
Or strategic attack that makes it less likely for him to be hit
Or be WF
Or the Therenal cloak

[Orratti]

Hold person is the most effective spell used against a low level party's melees. If you became immune to it tactics, as little as there already are, would become non existant.

[ProdigalGuru]

I remember the first time I got held....

Spot on. If you don't have the HP to last 6 seconds solo, then you shouldn't be soloing.
