My first hero anyway, and the earliest character I can remember. That was nearly 10 years ago, and it took me a few years of playing to finally hero. Damn I've been playing a long time. I must've been 16 at the time, and reading it now my use of language and grammar annoys the shit out of me. I guess we're all brats at one stage or another, or maybe we just become old and bby Kez - Char Board
Always be reduced or enlarged, sometimes he may reduce as well and catch you off guard, but if you keep mixing it up he'll have a very hard time trying to predict what you are. This initial confusion is plenty of time to sing blur, which is what you should be doing ASAP, not using beast call. Also rest, I know it doesn't do much when he's berserking, but at least if he's nby Kez - Log Board
Good job for sticking it out as long as you did.by Kez - Char Board
Too many people play Beserkers with the mentality of lag locking their foes and hoping for lucky DB. Instead you should be working out how to maximize DB and make extra DBs land.by Kez - Log Board
He managed some IMM exp for his original chapters which were a story. His later ones never got anything.by Kez - Main Board
At 20 str or less I would practice hook or disarm over weapon breaker, its handy when disarm isn't an option, but very, very unreliable. My 19str warrior would land one in five or six attempts against Velkyn Olath guards when practicing to perfection in the high 90's. Whereas my current (high str) lands half my attempts and WB isn't even perfected yet.by Kez - Main Board
You were hit 7 times in the first 5 rounds, and only hit him twice. Plus he was hitting you for MASSACRES whereas you landed a maim. Why would you keep bashing when getting so severely out meleed? I know RNG was probably against you considering you're a sword spec vs an axe, and it obviously changed in the later rounds, but why stick around that long? Flee and fight another day.by Kez - Log Board
I've played a lot of axe specs (my favorite spec) and the difference between a 19 str and a 23 str char wielding the same weapon is huge. I haven't noticed much of a difference between weapon weights.by Kez - Main Board
It technically goes: 1 too small to be bashed. 2 can be bashed by reduce gnomes 3 reduce gnomes 4 gnome 5 human 6 giant 7 enlarged giant 8 can be bashed by enlarged giants 9 dragon sizeby Kez - Main Board
I know if you're comparing direct melee rounds it may be different, but charge set is huge defense bonus.by Kez - Main Board
So long as you get mule kick before 21 you're doing fine, at the low ranks you level so fast (even soloing) that you can't keep up no matter what you do.by Kez - Main Board

With whispers and maybe striking the shadows footfall. The aim being to simple eyejab/choke, rest, sleep and field poultice as often as you need whilst slowly bleeding them out. Biggest problem would be rangers and pallies I think.by Kez - Main Board
Your mate challenges you to a game of CF. The rules are you have two weeks (imagine you're on holidays) to roll a character, hero it and then fight each other to the death. You have no idea who or what your mate has rolled, nor do they know who you are. It will be revealed on the day. The arena will be a random safe (no hostile mobs, tribbies, etc) area with wilderness and civilized roomsby Kez - Main Board
And I fight very low ranking mobs. I'd rather have lots of long, drawn out fights with practice weapons rather than fight tough mobs where I have to flee, heal or rest between kills for. I also usually have parry perfected (or high 90s) by level 17, dodge too if a high dex class. This is with dumb races too.by Kez - Main Board
Its like people claiming that players ganked and full looted less in the past than they do now. Bullshit. I remember when Java was a straight up troll. I used to hate the guy. TPK used to write all sorts of shit, and there was that Gaga, gege, whatever guy on the OT board constantly. Sure its more policed now, I guess mainly due to the fact a lot of the player base has grown up, but if anyby Kez - OT Board
Sure some race/class combos will be too tough for you 1v1 (or at least too tough to kill) at which point assassinate comes in handy, but I was surprised how easy it was to kill with my assassin in a head on fight. Everyone likes to fight them and won't flee early which means lots of fun and intense fights.by Kez - Char Board
Those axes are probably requestable at his rank anyway.by Kez - Log Board
I have a bad habit of training everything to near perfection, and doing it in as few ranks as possible (parry, dodge (if high dex), axe, mace and sword before level 17 on low int chars). I then get attacked by (or sometimes I attack) well geared lowbies, kill them, loot most of their stuff (leaving mine in its place) and they rage delete. I hope I'm not considered one of these "by Kez - Main Board
