> Never planned to stay at any level. There were never any ragers around that weren't near hero. And as a duerg, it was pretty damn hard to perfect stuff. And then there was no leader, and nobody around of my level, and I was the one going to get the head back often. So i stayed at 27, perfected stuff -- took *forever* to perfect shield block, I dont know why, I was fighting those stone golems constantly in the village -- and just started fighting. > All of a sudden someone sends me a tell saying "your reputation precedes you." I reply "what reputation?" He says "*whispers* check the pk list, you're number 14." > I had never even looked. I didn't think I'd killed that many, to be honest, though it seems the numbers are fewer than I thought would be required to be on the list. Anyway, I said it before and I'll say it again, rager berserkers are over powered. > It took me half my mana just to put up trusight, resist and spellbane. (From 100% mana to 52% mana.) More often than not I didn't have either resist or spellbane up, I just didn't have the mana to keep both up and I tried to have trusight up all the time. So I'd sleep alot. Meditation perfected, but not fasthealing. > Anyway, trell had a *huge* backstory, and frankly some really great rp. And thanks to whichever Imm switched into the perpetuim and did my tattoo interview. If it was you, nep, it was quality as usual, but somehow i got the feeling it was not you, since you didn't show yourself, you used a mob even to tattoo. *shrug* Either way, it was good as usual. > What sucks is all my plans for the hero level stuff I wanted to do. But I had made the role one where he wouldn't really back down, and so I was *really* reckless alot, and of course part of the plan was to show how over the top rager berserkers are. So I'd be running into groups of three or four. And I'd win alot. Wacky. > But then the last few days we didn't have the head and so I just kept dying, and having a 14 con for levelling purposes just sucks. I levelled from 28 to 29 with a 17 con and got only 13 hp, so with a 14 con, well, it just didn't seem worth it. > But let me tell you, folks, that I'd have been even tougher as a hero. If you know what the tattoo does, together with entwine.... mages would be very unhappy. Couple it with my second spec, which i planned to be mace... drum... yeah. Would have been fun. But oh well, the plans of mice and men and all that. > Mark aka Diarmuid, Graatch, etc.
