90!

[Shaps]

Finally hit 90 - first time ever. Seeing if any glaring things missing. Don't think so, but first time moving into endgame areas so double checking.

OHE/Shield user - Goals moving forward: Get MIU/AS to 50 ranks each - MOC to 135 when can - and not sure after that. Was thinking armor training for the reduced action penalty, but some tertiary skills would be nice to start slowly collecting, so not sure how necessary armor would be.

Trying to find the information on it - did they change the prereq's for Subdual Strike (SSTRIKE)?

I had trained Stun Maneuvers (STUNMAN) two times as a prereq to it back in the day I thought. I don't see that requirement now, or am I crazy and missing something with my other CMANs?

If not then would like to free up those points from STUNMAN if possible. Thanks.

EDIT: Nevermind - found where it was required.. in shield training for Steady Shield. Thought was going crazy.

Nothing glaring, from my point of view, just a few observations, from a non-warrior player:

Guessing that you're in Voln, since you've got no Harness Power ranks...

From what I've seen of other peoples' suggestions for near- and -cap endgame, maybe up to 40 ranks of Ambush, so you can start aiming strikes...

First Aid and Survival certainly wouldn't be a bad investment, 40-60 ranks or so.

You may want more Swimming ranks, depending on which areas you plan on hunting. OTF and Nelemar both take decent swim check to get into. Then again, I don't do hunting in those areas, so maybe 50 is just fine?

Which ARMOR Spec(s) are you trained in currently? More Armor Use ranks may help round that/those out some.

Could always start branching into secondary weapon skills... brawling is always a fun one, imho.

I am in Voln so no mana requirements.

Survival I'm interested in so will lean that direction over First Aid - does anyone really use it much anymore? With plate and redux, I found it very lacking since I make it back to town to heal up.

Swimming I hadn't thought about - anyone have a recommended minimum for higher level hunting area access?

I'm trained in Armor Support 5/5 and starting on slash.

I use a bastard sword - eventually plan to have trained OHE, THW, and Brawling - Brawling first before THW - Have some 6x grapple flaring hand/footwraps.

Are you sold on ohe/shield? Have you considered twc or thw. The best defense is a good offense.

Beyond that I would focus on MOC to at least 135 and maybe some survival to 1x

I do fine with berserk and shield trample (I do have a nice weapon though) - and I will be learning THW once capped since it is a bastard-sword. Ya agree'ing with the survival and moc. Appreciate the feedback.
