It's not really a secret though. Stay home. Eat ice cream! 😄 lol

 

But most accidents happen at home! Never go home.

A little used (some people are too cheap) helpful option are P2W Med Pack, Recovery Serum, and Ethereal Shift.  You can walk through hell with ethereal shift on.  Well, fast walk, lasts 30 secs...

Spend levels 1-5 dead and then enjoy living through levels 6-50.

To defeat the cyberdemon, shoot at it until it dies.

Plug your Controller into Controller Port 2.

4) Don't just fight until you die. You can't do any DPS if you are dead, but will do a lot more if you are still alive.

 

This is my favorite.

To avoid dying 90% of the time, simply "don't die".

If you think you can stay alive 90% of the time, then you have never been on one of my teams. I'll get you killed 90 times a day.

Moving doesn't really prevent or even reduce the chance of an enemy targeting you.

Yeah, back in my WoW dungeon-running days, it was always obvious when the tank was played by somebody who was mostly a PvPer. They'd forget that the things that confound a human opponent don't work on the AI opponent. They'd either be dragging the boss all over the room (infuriating the melee DPS players who now had to chase the boss between every attack) or else running in circles around the boss, making the boss spin (again, making life harder for DPS players, who wanted to attack the boss from behind, because attacks from the rear were more successful for mechanical reasons - you can't block attacks from behind).

Oh, when i see the iceberg I go ahead and paddle away on my rubber boat into the cold night alone.  You can just tell some ships are doomed.

if you’re not dying, you’re not living

Needs more rhyme.  How about - If you're not dying, you're not trying.

[InvaderStych]

Did someone say rhymes?

Why does no one ever give out the secret for not dying the other 10% of the time?  That's where the real money is.

 

 

Tip:  keep health above 0.

Unless I get lagged to death, something that admittedly happens way more in LOTRO than here, I just take it in stride and use it as a learning experience. Most of my tanks and brutes have maxed out their debt badges. Also, in my opinion, it’s easier to get the Freedom Phalanx Badge the back door villain way and that requires you to die quite a bit.

Here ya go!

It's simple.

BE A TANK!

 

See!

One thing is, until you know your limits, you don’t know what you can really do. And you won’t understand your limits until you surpass them. That means you have to die to know how far you can push when living.

I've been playing computer games since the Apple II was released in 1977. So I have a lot of experience playing RPG games (over 45 years - currently 68). I've practiced not dying in every game I've played.

 

In COH there are several ways:

 

1) if you are a ranged fighter or support, distance is your friend. If a foe tries to get within melee range of you, simply back away from them or move to a different part of the room. Hovering is better if there is room above you. Plus hover adds to your defense.

 

2) If you are a melee fighter, keep an eye on your health. If it gets below 50% and you don't have a heal or resprite, move away from the area to rest.

 

3) If most of the team dies and the rest of the foes are after you, go into an elevator or out the exit. Wait a second and then you can come back in as they will be running back to their spawn point.

 

4) Don't just fight until you die. You can't do any DPS if you are dead, but will do a lot more if you are still alive.

 

5) In combat, I rarely stay in one place. I constantly move so the enemy can't get a fix on me.

 

6) Buy resprites from the nurse for those "Oh crap" moments. When you take them in that emergency, leave the area and fully rest before beginning again

But if you still die after solving those 90%, you still with have 100% of some cause of death.  Within that is a 90% of deaths.  So, have you really fixed something or are you just kicking the bucket down the road?
