***Disclaimer****These people will not be happy with you. Any and all action on your part regarding death gating will almost certainly result in swift revenge. The author of this article and his subsidiaries are in no way is responsible for any deaths, lost gear, feels etc. If you feel you're case needs review please send your complaint to [email protected].
So you want to become a professional death gater? With some persistence and a complete lack of empathy for others you too can be apart of the awesome world of death gating!
You will need a few things to get started.
magery high enough to comfortably cast mark
runes/runebook
regs
a mark(eventually)
To get started pick an appropriate place for your death gate spot. There should be lots of mobs or a few powerful mobs. Ideally there shouldn't be to much area for your mark to escape.
Now that you have found your death gate spot, you can go about marking your tile. There are a couple ways to go about this.
1. Clearing the area of mobs including leading off your mobs to a location they cannot easily return from
2. Killing the mobs as they are. time consuming but doable.
3. Precasting paralyze field as you enter the death gate area and paralyzing your mobs while you mark your spot.
4. (My personal favorite)The all balls-praise allah-complete disregard for your safey-precasting mark runnning in and targetting your rune , then dropping it in your book as you die horribly method.
Good Job! You have your location marked and ready to go(assuming your mobs have returned or respawned). You will want to make a dispel field macro(simply cast dispel field and target a gate. then edit the target to convert to type). Now it is time to go fishing. Fishing is a death gater's term for getting someone to go through your gate in other words taking the bait.
Things you will need
regs/your runebook
the ability to cast gate travel
your mark
You will need to find a heavily populated area to start casting gates. The more people there are the greater chance you have of a mark taking your bait. The bank is a great area for this as you can pose as a vendor. But there are other ways to disguise your gate.
1. Imposter gate- Posing as a vendor-all you need to do is act like you're a vendor and you're gating to a pretend shop. Spamming examples can be xxxxx vendor house, rares/regs/power scrolls, etc. Whatever you think will get someone in your gate. When someone takes the bait(it takes a while to pinpoint when they are going to come over and go through your gate) you will need to get ready to hit your dispel field key. Once they go through(disappear) hit your hotkey.
Things to remember about this:
They may have just used the skill hiding.
They may get back through before you can dispel.
Other people may dispel your gate as well.
2. Parasitic Gate-Cast your gate while on the same tile as a real vendor.
3. Random gate-Just leave your gate after you have casted it but stay close enough so you can dispel. People are naturally curious about the unknown and many will go through any random gate they see
Awesome! A mark has entered your gate and you have dispelled it successfully. In all likelyhood they are dead. You have successfully death gated someone. But wait, there is one last thing you must do. You must confirm the kill.
After you have successfully fished a mark through your gate it is time to check if they actually died. So you must return to you death gate spot to verify they have been killed(if you have an alternate safe recall spot that is fine. Also just hiding and gating to your death gate spot works too. If you gate back, this allows the ghost of the mark to come back and rez instead of running through a dungeon for ten minutes.
A video guide is here(http://uomovies.com/view.pl?_Search=cack&_submit=Find) if you have a client low enough to play it. It's the 275kb one.
