So I want to be a brawling voln fu master

I have not the slightest clue about Sorcerers and their profession. I was wondering if someone could tell me a good play to make a brawling, volnfu master, sorc... its looks like such an awesome profession and I love the idea of having guild skills as a pure magi... Please post what you can. I am looking for help with stat, skills, and anything else that might be of help.. Thank you in advance for your time......

thats awesome i will tweek my stats around some.. i figure you have a lotta success with this type of sorc?

[Wuxong]

may i ask why no elemental mana training.. is it just not needed ? and how do you hunt using this just curios.. i am still punching rats... lol

[Gan]

I chose spirit mana because I have several other associates in my camp or in other camps who also train in spirit. There really is no difference in which one you train in from a mechanics part as long as you dont split the training since mana regen bonuses are associated with overall ranks in one or the other, unless you plan on wasting the points and fully training in both.

I have fun with this training plan. I blast through the places that I hunt until I've no mana left, then I go commando and start kicking/punching undead - its quite effective for building favor. You can attack live critters too but you'll waste the favor.

Here's a thread that shows some info on DS and attacks using voln fu and normal casting that I posted some info in.

Hope this helps your decision making.

[Wuxong]

[Gan]

[Wuxong]

AHHHH Too much well minded info in one time.. does not compute.... Ganalon is overly helpfull.. melt down melt down...... hey thanks man .. I agree with this syle of sorc but as the other thread said its a roleplay thing. i like the idea of being a voln-fu master sorc.. spending my days using martial arts to walk the lands and implode things..... kulo!

[Gan]

Here's something you might find handy. Its a simple script, cant remember where I found it, that shifts stance then casts (taking advantage of open handed offensive casting) then shifts stance back, its specifically set up for sorcerer casting descriptions. You might need to adjust the variables (%1) to (%1%) and (%2) to (%2%) to adjust for SF, I'd ask if you're not familiar with scripting in SF to make sure I'm correct on the SF variable requirements.

I love the idea, RP is always the greatest way to build a character, if you envision it sometimes it can be hard to do, but i'm glad this one is gonna work for you! GO FREAKS!

Try to get a ranger to cast mobility on you, that will really up your voln-fu MB.

[Wuxong]

Rangers rule and my twin brother is the lil sorc.. I just happen to be a ranger. Lil Wuxang the voln fu is doing well...... thanks for the advice on the mb and mobility.. never new that one...
