Thoughts on invaders using finger severer?

[SeeDee]

Im only just starting my pvp experience as an invader but Im finding myself using the finger severer a lot. The only times I use it are when I invade a world with 3 people obviously waiting to be invaded so they can gank me, which unfortunately is almost all of my invasions. Most of the times these gankers (not using that word maliciously) are all running DLC stuff, not sure how since I am only level 48 and invading around weeping peninsula and stormveil.

If I was more experienced, maybe I would stay and try to fight, but it is a guaranteed loss if I do since I dont have anything to deal with bayle incantations, miquellas light, messmer's ash of war, etc.

Pls tell me, is it scummy of me to leave a world once I invade, or is it acceptable?
thanks

My setup is a staff with carian slicer, and a halberd

Also how do I signal to a group of 3 that I want to 1v1? I see that they are waiting to be invaded and want me to come to them, but then they all just jump on me 1v3 and the fight is over in a few seconds. why are they waiting to be invaded then ?

Not one bit scummy and absolutely acceptable. Refusing to inflate the egos of the Limgrave/Acadamy gank tourist and their 2 bIow me buddies is the best thing you can do unless your character/loadout is tuned for that type of engagement.

It’s not scummy, it’s a white flag, an admit of defeat.

My 2 cents though, is that unwinnable battles are still worth the fight. Every bit of experience, in victory or defeat, is a chance to learn and improve.

When you come across a gank, it may be worth it to see how long you can survive, and then try to beat that time again and again. Once you’ve become good at surviving spell spam, and blenders, then you can start to try counter-attacking. Then move onto parries, backstab-fishing, etc.

Hey youre certainly right. I guess I kept avoiding those gank fights since I was sure i would lose, and no one likes losing. but if chasethebro can win 1v3s, no doubt he had to lose a lot of fights first. thanks for the advice, ill be sure to try and learn from them

Yeah, Chase is absolutely a good example of a master of his craft. The game knowledge that dude possesses will always impress me. I can only imagine how much failure he had to endure in order to get to where he is now.

Reminds me of an old saying: “The Master has failed more times than the student has even tried.”

It is the second best outcome...
The first is you never invading in the first place.

Just remember when you invade someone... regardless of whether their friends are prepared or not... they do NOT want you there. So you leaving on your own is the best outcome.

Yea, its fine. Defeating invader isnt the hosts objective. Maybe a duelist might feel a little down. Most hosts think red man bad and dont want invasions anyway.

Coop bros also dont really care.

Resorting to cheats when you can't fairly beat an invader. There's grass outside that needs touching.

Y'know, that whole "touch grass" thing sounds stupid anywhere and everywhere... but right here I'd expect the "touch grace" pun more often...
... except nobody makes it.

You guys are so boring.

Replace 'cheats' with 'spawned DLC gear' and 'invader' with 'host' and your sentence will still make sense

No, let's not replace anything and instead have you explain how using the method in the link below doesn't make you a cheater.
