Got a few questions

[Rad]

Hey all... wonder when this'll be answered =P (not a lot of recent posts here)

I play GS3(fine... gs4 =P) off and on, starting about 9 years ago. I've recently come back, and I'm having a great time with the changes 4 brought about. I've started my first empath though... I'm usually a warrior, rogue, or sorcerer. This time I've gone empath and wizard, and it's lots of fun.

However, even as much as I love bone shatter (i just hit rank 7), it's pretty much impossible to hunt with it alone =/

I'm trying to train to be a rune staff empath, who hunts mainly bone shatter, fire spirit , and empathetic assault. I love the idea of being able to sit back and heal, or go out and hunt - whichever option I choose.

Around level 3 or 4 I decided it would be best to go with a melee weapon of some sort, at least to get me high enough to bone shatter. When I realized I couldn't even do that efficiently at lvl 6, I kept hunting (sigh) rats, and occasionally obliterating hobs with my 1106. My CS really isn't great enough to guarantee a kill on anything (not even a rat), and I can't heal anything beyond medium limb wounds. As far as I know, I'm sufficiently trained in both healing and sorcpath, though I havn't seen any gs4 guides for these... so I guess I'm looking here for help.

(not my starting stats, but only lvl 7 stats, so it shouldn't be too different)

Name: ***** Race: Forest Gnome Profession: Empath (not shown)
Gender: Male Age: ** Expr: 57271 Level: 7
Normal (Bonus) ... Enhanced (Bonus)
Strength (STR): 70 (0) ... 70 (0)
Constitution (CON): 53 (11) ... 53 (11)
Dexterity (DEX): 81 (20) ... 81 (20)
Agility (AGI): 53 (11) ... 53 (11)
Discipline (DIS): 55 (7) ... 55 (7)
Aura (AUR): 86 (18) ... 86 (18)
Logic (LOG): 58 (9) ... 58 (9)
Intuition (INT): 53 (1) ... 53 (1)
Wisdom (WIS): 92 (26) ... 92 (26)
Influence (INF): 82 (11) ... 82 (11)
Mana: 7 Silver: 1604(btw i didn't know empaths were so rich, I have like 40k saved in the bank, compared to my rogue who had 10k in the bank at lvl 6, haha)

***** (at level 7), your current skill bonuses and ranks (including all modifiers) are:
Skill Name | Current Current
| Bonus Ranks
Armor Use..........................| 20 4
Edged Weapons......................| 40 8
Physical Fitness...................| 74 16
Arcane Symbols.....................| 35 7
Magic Item Use.....................| 40 8
Spell Aiming.......................| 66 14
Harness Power......................| 40 8
Mental Mana Control................| 35 7
Spirit Mana Control................| 35 7
Mental Lore - Manipulation.........| 35 7
Mental Lore - Transformation.......| 35 7
First Aid..........................| 102 24

Spell Lists
Major Spirit.......................| 6

Spell Lists
Minor Spirit.......................| 3

Spell Lists
Empath.............................| 7

(everything at 7 will be at 8 - for single train every lvl, mid way through this train when I have the pts. Stopping at 4 armor I think. everything at 14 will be at 16 for double training per lvl. Edged weapons will be completely dropped whenever I can hunt to muddled/numbed on spells alone)

A few examples for starters:

You concentrate while murmuring the simple, mystical chant for Limb Repair...
Your spell is ready.
!s>cast
You gesture.
Your right leg feels better.
Roundtime: 18 sec.
Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.

Ok, so first of all, I can't heal very efficiently (lots of mana, lots of time... took like 14 mana if I remember correctly to cast limb repair... I have of course 37 mana total O.o)

You channel at a giant rat.
You concentrate intently on a giant rat, and a pulse of pearlescent energy ripples toward it!
CS: +58 - TD: +3 + CvA: +25 + d100: +26 == +106
Warding failed!
The giant rat shudders with sporadic convulsions as pearlescent ripples envelop its body.
The giant rat is smashed for 42 points of damage!
The giant rat collapses to the ground, emits a final squeal, and dies.
Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.
Roundtime: 3 sec.

Yay, so I can finally almost kill a rat every time regardless of my roll O.o. (bye bye 6 mana, only 5 more casts of bone shatter left) Why is my CS so low? =/

So anyway, I'm just wondering if I'm doing anything wrong, or if all sorcpaths go through this kind of trouble at the beginning. It's really nice to be able to *finally* heal medium limb wounds, but until I can heal all wounds, I won't be much use when the faster healers are in TSC. (I have to ap -patient- before I nod, cause I can't heal everything =/ meanwhile, these high lvl healers can just nod, weee)

Thanks for any help! *edit* oh, and why is my mana so low?? (37) I trained rank 8 at lvl 7 and only got 1mp... I thought you get 3 per single train D: )

You have 30 days when you start a character. Change your training to 1x Shield, 1x Edged, 1x CM if you want, Physical Training, etc, just so you can script and get as high a level as possible in those 30 days.

wait wait...

now I'm REALLY confused...

Back I'd say about 3 years ago, I made a java program that generated hunting scripts for any area that could "loop." After getting to about lvl 14, I realized it was actually kind of boring, and obviously against the rules to do.

Are hunting scripts now legal or something? I've *never* had anyone recommend I use a hunting script. In fact, I've been yelled at quite a bit (a few years ago) that I used one.

Then again, I've noticed a guy called "baele" or something running around the catacombs for the past 4 days non-stop, and assumed it was a script, but I really didn't care enough to report it =P

So what's the deal here? Won't I get banned? lol =P If not, I'll dust off the old script generator I made and release it haha.

(oh and actually I hunted mummies in the GY mostly, but the generator would work for anywhere, as long as you entered the coordinates)

[Edited on 1-12-2005 by Rad]

[Mini-Spir]

You can script, just don't be AFK or you chance being banned. I <3 my scripts as well as many others that I know. Just don't be stupid and you won't get caught.

And mummies would tear you up, I stayed in rats until 10, then moved on to cobras in the graveyard.

[Rad]

right, I was talking about doing mummies with a 7+ polearm warrior to lvl 14 in gs3 =P

thanks for the help though :)

[Czeska]

I have a 36 train empath, and a 4 train empath. The older one is pure, and can hunt 20 trains over her head if only one other person's with her, and hunts 5 trains over, alone, without blinking.

But when young, ew. So that's why my 4th train swings a sword until she can take all wounds. Bone shatter rocks (especially with good lore training) but it takes too much mana to be an effective hunting method that young.

[Nilandia]

Hrm... U2U or IM me sometime and we can chat about your training. I have a caster empath of my own.

So assuming I'll drop edged + shield before a) I run out of my 30 day skill limit or b) I can effectively hunt to muddled+ with spells alone, any other suggestions? It's pretty frustrating having a level 5 wizard who can hunt things easier than my 8 empath D:

[Rad]

ahh, and anyone else want to inform me of something...

After I began an empath, I was lectured about how I must nod before healing anyone. Fine, that's what I do now. I AP them, then nod, if I can do it before the healer hawks do. Now I'm sitting here watching the lecturer heal everyone in sight without nodding.

Sorry, hypocrisy annoys me =P What exactly entails "empath code"? Honestly, I think empath hawking is more rude than anything. Someone who can take everything just jumps all over everyone who comes in the room asking for healing. *sigh* Maybe I just don't get it.

[Nakiro]

There are no rules, just arragoant pre pubescent twits that like to play God.

Just do what you want, its just a game anyway. And when possible be curtious.

just heal them without nodding, and tell the whiners to get the sand out of their vagina, and that they dont have to like you, you are staying though. establish dominance, thats how you do it.

An empath that would take that sort of lip to me would learn very quickly how the business end of Empathic Assault feels. :devilsmile:

My advice is to get out of the Landing and get to Solhaven. It's nearby, but the people are much different. Much more willing to help, and much more courteous.

The worst place to learn manners is TSC, with Ta'Vaalor's VC getting there quickly. If you don't want to compete with the robohealers (which I did for my first 10 levels and I'm never going back), then don't go to their playing field.

Nilandia

[Czeska]

Nodding is basic polite 101 for empaths, but it doesn't work everywhere. I agree with Nilandia. If you want a pleasant experience, TSC is generally not the place to get it (Exceptions apply, but rarely). And "establishing dominance" at 8 trains will get you more established with the clerics, if you get my drift. One thing about those not nodding, though.. some may be getting whispered requests for healing, some may be healing friends that they have arrangements with. The only time I heal without asking is when I'm the only healer there.. and this is NOT in the landing.

One thing about your training.. you don't *have* to take both mana shares. I just took spirit and I do just fine. If I need to change when (if) monks come out and we get mental spells, then I'll do it then. Saves a lot of tp's.

Another thing I did is not take any FA until later. Skinning isn't lucrative at lower levels, and *if* it helps bone shatter, who cares if you're not using bone shatter much? I just loaded up on it at 36 trains, and still haven't used a fixskills. The conversion (I dropped some lores I changed my mind on, for 1010 purposes) took me about a day and a half only.

When you get your armor training done (I stopped at 6, most go to 8) and drop that sword/shield combo you'll have extras there too.

Stat's I can't help you on, cause I'm not home and can't get in game :)

Ahh, thanks for all the advice :)

My empath just took his first medium system wound recently, and I guess I didn't know you had to get a "clean up" on healing down medium wounds (I thought it was just from major wounds), so I have at least a 1 rank scar on every body part, and a 2 rank scar on my nervs... I can't search anything I kill now, and I would imagine my exp absorbtion is probably as slow as can be. It's really annoying/upsetting =P There's no herbs around that heal that sort of thing, and I don't get the spell to heal down a scar until a few levels - if I even try to make it there.

any advice? =/

Borrow a nerve minor from another empath, when they take it back your scar will poof. Or heal somebody with minor nerves and ask another empath for a nerve cleanup.

Or eat some woth flower. I 'think' that's the major nerve scar herb, but it's been a long time so apologies if I have that wrong. If you're in the Landing, go into the Herbalists shop and read the herb list that is posted there. You can also buy the herb or potion that you need right there.

If there is no such thing as 'clean-up' anymore or they no longer post the herbs at the herbalist shop just disregard this post and tell me I'm hopelessly out of date.

Cleanups still exist, thank goodness. And yes, it's woth flower.

Thanks a lot :) I didn't know cleanups helped both people, and they certainly do. Back in working condition now! Oh, the herb shop helped too, haha.
