How To: Punt

They're gonna find who punted that archmage!

Punt - The art of knocking back. Sure, you get an ability to knock people back. It seems fun at first, especially in the scenario, Tor Anroc. Knocking people back and watching them inevitably die in the lava as they try to jump out is so satisfying. But, admit it you rage when someone does it to you, even might call it cheap.

Enjoy your punts while they laugh because in Tier 4 you might as well take it right off your hotbar. If you use a punt in Tier 4 you're public enemy #1 because as soon as you use it, you're chat will be flooded with "OMG nub used KB I could of killed him", "WOOOOWWW The noob knocked him back when I was about to kill him", "Aren't you on our side? Why are you saving the order?", and so on.

Sure the enemy might be at full health, or you were getting 9 guys off of the healer, it doesn't matter. You used a punt, you're a noob. But, have no fear good ole Verras here will tell you how to sue your punts correctly, so you're chat wont be flooded.

Scenario 1: You're in city, this is punt kingdom. Punt someone off the edge of the cliff in IC or in the water in Altdorf and noone will complain. In fact some may congratulate you. "Mission Complete!"

Scenario 2: Punting off of the dragonwake bridge. If you encounter enemies on the bridge, just punt them off and watch them drop hundreds of feet below you. No one will blame you because they'll be laughing at the falling order/destruction. "Continued Success!"

Scenario 3: When you're alone or in a huge group of people. This will confuse the masses as they try to figure out who did it with a high probability they won't and let it pass. "MONSTER KILL!"

Scenerio 4: When you're about to die. This is one of the few acceptable time people can actually watch you punt an enemy. They'll let it off as a CC and trying to save your own life. However, if the enemy you punted had low hp this could back fire. "YOU ARE THE PUNT MASTER"

Those my friends are the only times punt could be viable. Follow these and you can leave your punt on your hotbar!
