All am saying is that it takes an extraordinary CF knowledge now as opposed to previously. This is both due to numbers and a vastly increased average skillset, at least at heroish. We're all old and very vet now. Previously, you wouldn't believe what people would die to. Now, all know how to flee;quaff. Prior, they'd let you energy drain them to 0mv. Or let you flee;sleep until you
There used to be troves of easy PK's across the range, including hero. Currently, you'd be hard-pressed to land ten 1v1 without instakill (sleep, assassinate, malice,) entwine in village, (semi)permalag such as bash, or cutoff (trance, polearm, striking). There's a reason you mostly see those builds.
I'd say discount anything before 2014sh. Arguably, whomever racks up 130
Let's say you're one of the true heroes. You've established yourself as this great RP'er, this awesome cabal leader, whatever. But sometimes, you just wanna have the crap go down. You know, this 25-level bashdown. Or you have the sudden urge to zap the wand at 13. Whatever. I know I'm guilty of a little-side trip. And it's nothing more usually, but I don't think
And imms for that matter.
What we lack is like 20+ more folks online at all times. The game was designed for ~100 people on, not for 10-20 total like now. That's the main reason we're spinning downwards.
Examples:
1) Now: Emperor/Dreadlord: Can't beat him 1v1, can't beat him with randomShifter23 who's my only potential ally, well, might as well quit.
OldWay:
Bakrmarr's the Axe of Mel-Kartha rips cruelly through your flesh and bone!
Bakrmarr's cleave === OBLITERATES === you!
Probably ignores things like parry and looks like does 2X damage.
I suppose the answer is yes (with role possibly) - my warriors pre-nerf had all four in addition to a few other edges. Don't think it's going to be much different now.
Defense is definitely the best for ranking in groups and probably one of the worst (only in front of offense) for ranking solo.
Water is if you want to explore water or camp in the sea hoping someone in PK passes by. If you really anticipate needing to solo-rank, then yes, water is probably the best.
Offense forms generally really suck with defending, it's hard to solo-rank with them and
1) There is no good thief combo to really fight assassins. They're better in every way than a thief. Which is why you can cripple them so they can't fight, for example as a trapper or a poisoner. Absent that, the only thief that has third attack (and thus a chance in a "fair" fight) is a thug, but in a majority of straight-up fights assassins have better maledicts and damage o
It works wonders. Find non tracking mobs or those who do not see hide. 20-25 is the suck though. Do newbie quests then dock quest and loch quest then beaten path. That gets you to like 17 sh. Do Hamsah and righteous keep and hidden forest quests and flee knife zombies in arkham tombs. That is about 20, which is the worst for thief. Continue to flee knife zombies and skeletons, but any group is pr
Here's a list of builds that IMHO have advantage over a random necro:
1) Maran anything is the best and easiest natural counter (with eyes). Bonus points for having cure blindness.
2) Hiders, best among them an assassin - you have surprise and can one-shot them, they can't do anything to you unless you let them.
3) Hero Scarab - they can't sleep you.
4) -50svs and up (especia
Just before/at the start of the last fight, notice how he rewields, but the damage is kinda big from decompose, thus probably no barrier from a failed zap.
1) What's the purpose of Eyes of the Eagle greater enliven? Is it just for the forms that can hidden sometimes?
2) Does the Deftness of the Falcon enliven allow your other-focus forms to dodge and evade better? Is it noticeable?
3) In case I choose to go Offense, are offensive greater enlivens provide a great boost to dam output or just so-so?
I think that in some circumstances a full loot may be totally valid from your viewpoint for the reasons you stated, except it didn't apply in the log you posted. Everyone would be totally ok with you doing it to the emperor (who will probably rage-delete over it) or similar prep-whore obsessive gearmander, but what you did was just total crap on a midbie mage. And there's another pure g
Because we want one. :)
Battle assassin zerker or if you insist on permalag, fire RBW with Greeting (and probably Gates). I'd go human on the former for PK range and sword/whatever on the latter.
I understand trolling, but this garbage goes way beyond and is very harmful to the game IMHO. Those of us who still play (and that's less people than reading this forum) would like to be able to enjoy our limited in-game time as opposed to be disgusted by things like fullsaccing.
1vs2 (Oxias vs HP+Emp) turns into 2vs2 when SunW shows up, then HP bails because he cares way more about the shinies than anything else and getting insected is not in his plans, letting Emp die as a consequence. Where anyone breaks any dogmas (beyond HP) is something I fail to understand. Why would Oxias attack SunW after winning a 2vs2 is also beyond me. Why Emp didn't anathema HP on the sp
It's kinda hard with an otherwise busy life, but I make time for CF. :) Now, that may or may not be a good thing, but I think I wouldn't be playing anything otherwise.
For an easy example, if you were last saved in a shrine, you would be at your recall post-crash.
At least, that's my working theory for explaining a few recent ones with my char.
While I know absolutely nothing about your build, you can probably kill that berserker much more easily than he can kill you. Remember, they lack the ability to use healers, to word of recall/teleport out and if their mv runs out, they are forced to sit there. Combine with plague for the win. Damage reduction goes a very long way as does the general parry/dodge ability.
For a melee char, gene
As everyone is mortal and you most of all, you will suffer and suffer and suicide out of sheer frustration very soon. Then, your ash will dissolve, but your pitiful existence will forever be remembered and exemplified in the generations to come. It shall be the point of every dumb and low joke ever made and your name will figure prominently in every cesspool and even the slave peons in orc slave
