Why sword/mace?. Just interested as to me they are similar or atleast why would you fight with swords one time then maces the next?

September 26, 2016 05:54AM
I always think of it like you have your main weapon spec you will use most of the time then the other spec you pick depending what skills it has that you can't really do with your main.

Eg
Flail for strip and choke.
Daggers to meledict dexy chars etc before switching back to your main.
Etc

What do you suggest?

Dwarves have one advantage: they are way cooler than duergar.

Murphy September 26, 2016 11:11AM

Fun fact

MiyagiYojimbo September 26, 2016 11:59AM

I had a hard time with flail/whip for my first spec. They don't parry well at all. (n/t)

If you want to "win", you'd be stupid to choose anything but Duergar Sword/Mace. NT

First, if you aren't a total newb, you should be able to gear for stat loss.

Sam September 26, 2016 11:21AM

Mace for lag maybe

daurwyn(VIP) September 26, 2016 07:48AM

Maladicting dexy chars: can you lower dex using daggers?

frob September 26, 2016 06:25AM

Yes

daurwyn(VIP) September 26, 2016 07:46AM

2 round wrath really helps them

Quas September 25, 2016 07:57PM

Yes, duergar is the bee's knees, BUT team goodie needs some competent warriors.

Demtok September 25, 2016 06:53PM

If I felt like playing a dwarf again, Dwarf Polearm/Mace Gates/Whispers is a build I was going to play. NT

Sam October 02, 2016 08:12PM

Also...

frob September 26, 2016 07:07AM

frob September 26, 2016 07:07AM

The idea behind whispers is this

Demtok September 26, 2016 10:06AM

Much clearer...

frob September 26, 2016 10:20AM

To answer part of this

Good legacies?

Kstatida September 26, 2016 01:51PM

I would go Cry/Whispers. Whispers + Cry's 100 hp basically gives you Heal Heal :) NT

Sam September 26, 2016 11:22AM

Can you please clarify

frob September 26, 2016 10:44AM

Clarity

Demtok September 26, 2016 10:54AM

Battaglia normally doesn't stack with berserk, though, or vice versa. (n/t)

Murphy September 26, 2016 11:06AM

That's what you think. (n/t)

Demtok September 26, 2016 11:10AM

I do feel cry being somewhat abundant on a zerker

Kstatida September 26, 2016 10:17AM

I'm not in it for the haste tick if I'm calling bloodthirst, I'm in it for the increase in damage verb with the 15 damroll

Demtok September 26, 2016 10:19AM

Haste is honestly the 4th thing I use thirst for, maybe 5th. 1 = Stat bonus/mal "wipeout" 2 = DAMAGE 3 = Area Spellbane 4 = Haste 5 = Auto-attack (only because it can fuck you). NT

Sam October 02, 2016 08:15PM

Plus, you can always use the Cry haste against Trannies and bust out the Bloodthirst haste after they waste a few rounds slowing you :) NT

Sam September 26, 2016 11:23AM

Whispers isn't so good now that you can't take the bird edges. (n/t)

Murphy September 25, 2016 07:41PM

Bird edges do not make or break the build HOWEVER

Demtok September 26, 2016 06:09AM

Dream dwarf set inside (and this is for the mace/polearm build...let's assume Maran)

Sam October 02, 2016 08:28PM

Still dies to Shaapa's naked felar assassin in < 3 throws. (n/t)

Rhyaldrin October 03, 2016 02:45AM

Nah. Maybe Nep's assassin, but shaapa's assassin would need 5+ throws. Dwarf HP yo! NT

Sam October 03, 2016 10:02AM

You can still take the bird edges. You just need to get to hero, and have a lastname, and 10,000 commerce exp, and 1,400 role exp, and 3,000 imm exp, and have retrieved your cabal's item at least 10 times, and be that cabal's leader, and be old age. Easy (n/t)

Frosty September 25, 2016 09:17PM

Right. And give up skullcrusher and the drum edge.

Murphy September 25, 2016 09:53PM

Mmmoooorrrre? I said you could have the bird edges. I did NOT say you could have MORE edges.

Frosty September 25, 2016 10:00PM

Duergar is 1000x better than dwarf.

Rhyaldrin September 25, 2016 06:09PM

Why, because they see hidden?

Frosty September 25, 2016 09:20PM

Depends on you

Tadam September 25, 2016 06:08PM

Don't ignore bludgeon and sting

daurwyn(VIP) September 26, 2016 08:01AM

Yeah, I always thought I had more chances to succeed using a whip. And hardly any classes get flails, whereas whip is given to a lot.

Sam September 26, 2016 11:26AM

Can please you explain more about sting and bludgeon? (n/t)

frob September 26, 2016 10:56AM

Thank you: very informative post (n/t)

frob September 26, 2016 06:36AM

Also, whip/dagger are hard to make to work together.

Murphy September 25, 2016 06:18PM

They work great together

Go back to coding for CF, Umiron!
