Introduction to Combat in Age of Conan

For almost anyone who's made it to the city of Tortage, parts of this post well seem fairly obvious.  However, there have been several review videos where the reviewer didn't seem to get the most basic concept of combat in AoC: Combos.


Just using directional attacks, while doing a bit of damage won't get you much past the jungle of Tortage before the game's inhabitants will overwhelm you like a pack of Cimmerians attacking the Aquilonian outpost of Fort Venarium.

Gear, however, is one of my problems.

Welcome.  This blog is meant to offer new players some tips from a casual player and to offer everyone some humor around the one of the best and underrated MMOs on the market, Funcom's mature-rated Age of Conan.

I've been playing off and on since launch and have several 80's along with a bad case of altitis.  I'll never describe myself as a pro at the game but I'd like to share some of what I've learned over the past six years with new and veteran players as well have some laughs along the way.
