Stairhopping

Stairhopping is a technique used by Paladins and Mages to kill strong creatures. It works like this: You stand right next to some stairs, with the creature you want to kill on the floor below/above you. You go up the stairs, attack the creature (or shoot a rune at the creature) quickly, then go down again. There are people that have perfected this skill so well, that they can go up and down the stairs while hardly getting hit, even if the creature is standing next to the stairs.

Tips
 * Click on the Battlelist even before you can see the creature, it will attack anyway and enables you to go down faster.
 * If you are able to see the creature you are attacking (for example Behemoths at Cyclopolis) you should try to go down to attack them right at the moment they are moving. That way, they can hardly attack you.
