Heres a question I've been wondering:


Does anyone else have trouble namelocking with MB then switching to teleport? This is my first sin ever so Im not sure if this is a dumb question or not but . . .

When I namelock, I can easily switch between MB and LS to start stacking some dmg. A problem I have noticed tho is if the locked character WSG's off of my screen , when I switch to teleport . . it does the tele animation , but will not actually move my sin. Im not sure if this is a glitch, or if they are simply too far away to tele to or what. Kind of gets annoying, but Ive slowly learned how to work around this handicap. Just odd that I can MB them for 2-3 screens away , and can only tele if they are very close.


Anyone have this issue or know what Im talking about?

i know what you mean, yes its normal, and you have to teleport earlier.

Just because you have them on your minimap and locked doesn't mean you can still tele on them.
Teleport works about 1.5 screens.

i just wanted to add that since you are a hybrid sin, you never really want them to get that far away (if they are like a sorc or nec or other casters)

the more offensively you chase them down, the less time they have to shoot you back. the mb/tele stomps should be all within close range to keep them locked and on the run

do not spam traps + mb until they get 2 screens away. then u have to chase them down again to get the lock back (and hybrids dont max mb like trappers or ghosts so its more troublesome)

one possibility:
when your opponent gets to the edge of your map there is a point where he will still be displayed on the map but will be outside range for targeting. so when you cast tele on opponents that far away it fails. as a side note, any traps/mb you cast on them at this distance aren't going to cast either, but since mb/traps does not break a namelock in the same way tele would you probably are just holding down mouse2 thinking you are mb/trapping them at the edge of your map when you are not.
keep in mind players wsging away appear closer to you on the map than they actually are.

if you are in range for tele/mb/traps and your tele is failing you, another possibility is you have a bad connection or system or something causing lag and failure on the teleport. some people get double teles due to their lag. can you teleport normally?

if im using chaos suwayyah and im using 40ias base fools claw in FC, do i achieve my 9fpa for trap laying? or do i need to use highlords or something?

You need a highlords.
Suwayyah/FC combo requires 42 IAS.

If I use high lords I won't hit the fcr breakpoint because my circlet doesn't have fcr so can I just socket fools with ias jewel instead of um?

then your fools claw does not have ow%
better solution is get a fcr circlet, thats the whole point of using a circlet setup anyway.

Yar, dis.



If you're not using a FCR circlet, you might as well use a shako.
Don't tell me you're using a 2 sin/visionary circlet...
