yes, this is what i meant with jumping higher, but it\'s not like you can really fly with a klyros, just really short distances.

Another note, elscouta: If you see more people then it is likely more people see you too. So climbing on a statue may give you greater range and visibility, but it also(yes!) makes you more vulnerable.

yes, standing on something high will only prevent close-range combat, it won\'t work against most spells or archery..

There is noflying skill, only riding animals. Anyway, I\'m sure it says somewhere that if a animal is trained really well it will be able to fight as well. And I see no reason why a bird can\'t hover while u blast somone with a fireball or summin.

*sigh*
Klyros flying is a special ability for klyros only. I didn\'t read anything that said that watcher was gonna be klyros. Also, that type of flying cannot be improved like a fighting skill. :D

Someone said:
\"Hide somewhere high so the poor warriors can\'t attack you.\" <-- Or something like that.

My comment:
A true warrior always carries a long-range weapon, preferrably a crossbow. :)

Indeed but no all warriors are as good with every weapon. If they prefer melee combat, forcing them to use a crossbow will give you an advantage. Small maybe but an advantange all the same :)

Of course, as a mage, I will choose to be equal at both, so that I can cast spells while I\'m flying on my winged pet, and so I can kill stuff in close combat if I run out of mana.   8)
