That multikilling newbies by a levelsitting duergar in hero set (and thus getting high PK score) doesn't make exactly tough/strong character.
Number are just numbers. "Frags don't smell". They say nothing about how they are achieved.
That's the reason why I am against making the hall of fame from PK scores.
It encourages people to do all sort of shitty things in order to achieve high numbers. And young players will respect you for your high numbers. Sweet.
IMHO it would be better just hide PK ratio (even in PBF). Maybe inform the player itself by request but do not make them public. Don't feed shitheads. When nobody can see your "achievements" in that area you probably will do less cheap PKs and assorting bullshit like:
1) Loading midnight dragon on newbies
2) 11 level looting
3) multikilling newbies
4) levelsitting, often with hero set.
5) fair weather playing. You know, to achieve high pk score you should only login when you have easy targets, not when you don't have your cabal item and your range is filled with opposing powerhouses. Dying on retrieve or hiding/runing from gangs doesn't improve your kills per hour ratio.
6) Ganging. You know, if I'm a fire giant basher, I would seal more kills if I have a trannie with me.

If we are talking about winning without bash - vs Air/Offense shifter (ORCISH BANE!)

Elhe 346 April 08, 2008 05:34PM

I would quote one of famous Russian poet here

Andriy 1230 April 08, 2008 12:30PM

So you confirm our point

Dwoggurd 512 April 08, 2008 12:38PM

You can think whatever you wish

Andriy 565 April 08, 2008 12:51PM

Orcs are pathetically weak. (text)

lightmage 575 April 08, 2008 02:31PM

You just wrote a guide

Dwoggurd 535 April 08, 2008 01:10PM

Terrible argument...

debriguy 508 April 08, 2008 01:29PM

High PK score != strongest PKiller

Dwoggurd 545 April 08, 2008 01:32PM

What's your measuring stick then? n/t

Dwoggurd 514 April 08, 2008 01:49PM

I'll second all of this

daurwyn(VIP) 466 April 08, 2008 11:20PM

A lot of people still take cheap kills like that as often as they can...

Isildur(VIP) 419 April 08, 2008 02:43PM

That makes sense, I was just curious if you had some objective measuring stick.

Balrahd(VIP) 435 April 08, 2008 02:18PM

There is no simple measure

Dwoggurd 469 April 08, 2008 02:36PM

Isildur(VIP) 438 April 08, 2008 02:46PM

Dwoggurd 548 April 08, 2008 03:09PM

Is there a necromancer ranking FAQ?

_Magus_ 479 April 08, 2008 04:00PM

They suck till 35.

cointreau 479 April 08, 2008 04:21PM

Yeah, but how do you get to 35?

_Magus_ 449 April 08, 2008 04:27PM

There's a special item that you can get a low level

jmc 578 April 08, 2008 06:15PM

To level 25 ???

Rodriguez 469 April 09, 2008 04:10AM

Well if you exclusively play evils, you get the hang of good ranking places n/t

jmc 443 April 09, 2008 08:05AM

Re: You've named THE strongest... what are the weakest and are orcs one of them?

No, Dwoggurd pretty much got it right... NT
