The best and quickest ranking I ever had, Three Human Base Classes, easy as hell to Human Warrior Empire Polearm Specialist Goes like this past 40th: Warrior tanks silvery spirits: Transmuter provides utility role: Necromancer does one thing, and does it well. Fast Damage, great tanking, and great utility. Rank Rank Rank Rank.
not to say that it is the BEST in the game-
I doubt ANYONE really knows that, since the
areas change so much and whatnot.
rank. The lower levels aren't very good,
probably, but we didn't rank together on
those- just the high ones.
Human Transmuter Shifter Empire
Human Necromancer Empire
With polearm spec, not a huge amount of
attacks, so few ripostes until entrap/fumble
can go off. Imperial training (defensive).
slow, soften, fumble, shift sea snake/water
major when he gets it. Also hastes the warrior - imperial training defense/haste/polearm spec = TANK FROM HELL.
Also slows the necromancer for mana.
Also, nice to have for the water breathing
spell and not having to get items for it.
Disruption, cheap spell, every round, does
an UNSPEAK against the undead spirits. When
it's time to leave, kill some sahuagin and
animate them- EXCELLENT zombies.
Spirits for evils give about 1500 a shot at
40th, and about 600 at 50th. Good all the way up to hero.
I estimate 40th rank to Hero in about 110
minutes real time.
Just my experience.
