I've just been PK'd in Destard. The PK was casting on the move? How is this possible?

The first bout could of been, but we were running around destard for a good while and he continued to combo me on the move.

Most likely, they were using magic wands with spell charges such as lightning. Casting any spells with magery will cause your char to stop, altho level 1 spells have a very short delay which could be 'hid' by lag.

What spells were they casting while it looked like they were moving?

Lightning? Fireball?

I know some people think that they are getting exploded by well-time Explosion Potions sometimes. At least i've had people tell me that they do.

Quite possible I guess, my resist is pitiful (57)...

After his opening combo I got taken down to 44%

After that my health dropped as follows;

Feyde's Stats: [44%]
Feyde's Stats: [28%]
Feyde's Stats: [29%]
Feyde's Stats: [10%]
You are dead.

Looks like purple potions to me; damage seems too high to be from a lightning wand.

Not going to disclose his name but he was from the NWO clan.

Sorry for the bump, but this just happened to me as well. I was being chased by a PK in the Fire dungeon and it seemed as if the player was casting spells while moving. However, the spell that appeared to keep hitting me was explosion, so I guess it could've been an explosion potion. I have decent resist though, and managed to get some healing in, but throughout our chase I got hit about 10 times by explosions. I'm somewhat new, and have never used explosion potions, so could someone really be that accurate to hit a player that many times in the middle of a nonstop chase?

Accuracy is not a problem at all. Thanks to the wonders of Razor, you are their Last Target and they can simply hit a keyboard button set to "Target Last Target" and hit you perfectly. No movement of the mouse/cursor is needed.

The key to purple potions is the timing - ensuring it hits you and not themselves. Although, if you're on the run and at lower health, there is a certain amount of leeway here, in that they can hit themselves half the time and you half the time and still kill you well before they themselves are in any real danger.

you'd have to be pretty bad to hit yourself 50% of the time
