The range/r2h switch

I've recently been pking on a range/str f2p pure I made. I can get the switch perfectly fine so it goes range hit then pretty much instantly r2h hit for ko. The problem I have is when it dosen't ko and I switch back to my bow there seems to be a good 3 seconds before my character even starts hitting again! I don't know what it is but I have seen people switch back to their bows and instantly start hitting. Does anybody have any ideas? Thanks.

 

thats how its suppose to be lol...

 

I know there is a way around it as I have seen other pkers instantly start hitting again with their bow. It's even happened to me a few times I just don't know how it happened.

 

I've been a long time range 2her. over 75+ kills in a month or so, and i have a few tips. if you have high enough health, you can switch and switch back after the 2h with little time between. if you have low hp, switch eat and put bow back on and click. no time will be wasted. gl pking, but ive never seen someone INSTANTLY switch back.

 

when u switch back to ur bow its on the r2h's time limit for first hit

 

I'm pretty sure there is a delay and always will be.

 

unless they didnt actually hit with the 2h, there aint no way thats possible.

 

Of course there is a delay, it's the same as if you didn't change back to bow and kept using 2h, 2h's are really slow you know.

 

There is a delay, Switching from R2H to skim has more of a delay then Bow to R2h

 

There's always been a delay, and I'm not so sure if they are actually hitting instantly, but whatever, good luck with those kills

 

If you want to abuse the delay in between hits, eat one of your foods after hitting with the R2H. Then switch back to your bow and you will have that 'instant' hitting again.

That's the only way it is possible.

 

i agree with farcast.

 

try to go for two 2h hits, then switch back to bow, and eat if youre low on hp. that works pretty well for me

 

You can't switch back right away sadly. It would help alot and i havn't seen anyone who has

 

Like everyone else said. Range, 2h, Eat, Range or 2h. If the delays that bad for you just use a Battle-Axe. Well, it would work really well against someone with some armour.

 

Actually, I believe people just eat food between the time they switch to their bow and when it hits. That way you're using time wisely.
