Enemy Kill Assist

Add an EK support that could be counted towards total EKs. Currently there are alot of "support" builds but they rarely are able to land an EK.

Add some sort of system to get an assist if you do any sort of supportive damage/para/etc to the enemy that dies or any supportive spells to the person that does the killing blow to the enemy such as haste etc.

This would add more of an incentive to players to work together instead of just blasting everything at the enemy in hopes of landing an EK and also support builds will feel like they are getting something from PVP also

Or just separate the assist from actual EKs and give some different coloured dye for i.e 5000 assists

This is obviously super biased vote count by all the fencers in the game.

You chose a tank build so you can keep yourself safe and sound with high VIT.. I'm sorry, you don't deserve the EK just because you're there. The EK should remain a reward for people who plays higher output build(usually comes with higher fragility from lower vit/dex)

Agree. Assist shouldnt give ek, but perhaps just an assist :)

I value more saving players with haste and invi than assist to make an EK. Anyways the people who is always supporting ( mages holy&merien and light&merien) already got Divine touch and FoT. so they can get eks, obviously less than others cause they are supporting more than focusing on eks. So, no we dont need Assists on HB, this is not League of Legends.

Everyone seems to like the idea but not the implementations so to expand on others thoughts:

Firstly getting an assist shouldn't be particularly easy, and the implementation has to be fair to warrior and magic classes in terms of who gets the assist.

EK Assists are accumulative and a separate category than EKs but can be turned in for 1 EK per  8- 10 assists for warriors and 20 assists for mages and you can gain an assist by doing the following:

Paralyzing a person who is killed by another player during their paralysis where the damage inflicted during paralysis is >= 50% of the players max health.

Providing the second most damage to a player in the last 10 seconds of their life using a first-in last-out queue method of tallying damage, in this case the damage must be >= 50% of the max health of the dead person to qualify for the assist.

Defense-Shield, GDS, or PFAing a person who then dies from person-inflicted magic damage within the period where the respective spell is active.
