1x Dodge @ 1.2m exp

or

2x HP @ ~1.7m exp

I'm leaning toward dodge. I'll be getting pretty wicked DS returns with a small sized shield. Any thoughts?

Dodging............................| 403 303 303

Finally!

Now the warrior's gotta 3x physical fitness, which should be relatively quick and easily by comparison.

[Fallen]

You guys are making me feel bad. I'm still plugging away at Summoning lore. Have 48, want 60.

I would think with 2x PT and GoS, you'd be more than good on mana, though a little more would never hurt.

I like dodge because helps every type of DS and if you're going to be 2x, you should see a lot more evades out of EBP, which is win.

With the lore application to scrolls/MIU coming soon, I'll be able to put 4 more items in my disk resulting in increased time in the field loot hunting. Therefore, I'll need more mana to keep hunting until reaching maximum capacity. Also, since I constantly use 1018, I'll be pulsing for 25% of my max mana instead of 15%.

Also, I have roughly 680 DS self-spelled in guarded and something like 480 in offensive so DS really isn't much of an issue.

When the 130 area comes out (RSN, LULZ), DS will most likely be an issue. However, by that time, I will probably have gotten enough exp for 1x dodge, as well as, 2x HP.

You can never have enough DS IMHO. 480 is good until you're prone and get hit by a radical mstriking with a lance and 117.

True, but, I'm rarely in offensive. I have ranks in feint and charge. The only time I get stance forced is by that fucking retarded GWE maneuver; even that is rare.

And, that's self-spelled. If I throw on 202/103/503 then I'll have 520 offensive DS.

You do make a good point; it does happen, albeit, rarely.

[BigWorm]

learn2dodge, brikus

I hope that if you ever make it to Nelemar, the first thing you see is an executioner who decides to choke a bitch.

[BigWorm]

The only time I get stance forced is by that fucking retarded GWE maneuver; even that is rare.

Pretty much everything GWEs do is retarded in my book, so I usually run from them like a little girl or have the sorcerer I hunt with implode it into oblivion.

[NocturnalRob]

who decides to choke a bitch.

oh, are you gonna be there too?

[Silique]

You currently have 1001387 unspent bounty points.

You have accumulated a total of 1001387 lifetime bounty points.

I fixskilled down all my lockpicking (finally) and forwarded the points into:

Elemental Lore - Fire..............| 302 202

>519
You intone a phrase of elemental power while raising your hands, invoking Immolation...
Your spell is ready.
You gesture at a Grimswarm troll pillager.
CS: +531 - TD: +429 + CvA: +8 + d100: +62 == +172
Warding failed!
Wisps of black smoke swirl around a Grimswarm troll pillager and she bursts into flame!
... 30 points of damage!
Nasty burns to left arm. Gonna need lots of butter.
The troll pillager is stunned!
The troll pillager grimaces as the flames boil her skin making her writhe in pain!
... 40 points of damage!
Burst of flames to left hand burns fingers bright red.

... 30 points of damage!
Nasty burns to left leg. Gonna need lots of butter.
It is knocked to the ground!
The troll pillager howls in agony as the flames dance over her body!
... 35 points of damage!
Left hand fried to a crisp. Think barbecue sauce.

... 35 points of damage!
Flames burn hole in chest exposing ribs!
The troll pillager grimaces as the flames boil her skin making her writhe in pain!
... 45 points of damage!
Right leg horribly scorched. Won't be usable for weeks.

Flames cook a Grimswarm troll pillager's abdomen. Looks about medium well.
The troll pillager howls in agony as the flames dance over her body!
... 40 points of damage!
Extreme heat causes a Grimswarm troll pillager's left arm to expand and snap. That must hurt!

Nasty burns to right arm. Gonna need lots of butter.
The troll pillager grimaces as the flames boil her skin making her writhe in pain!
... 40 points of damage!
Left eye propelled out of socket by fiery explosion!


The flames around a Grimswarm troll pillager continue to burn!
Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.

[Renian]

When the 130 area comes out (RSN, LULZ), DS will most likely be an issue.

Speaking of which, I wonder if it will even be possible to solo that place.

That is, without having Tsin's vast array of loots. I'm sure he could do it. 1 second ebow, 10x DB, fully spelled, and uberplate? Bring it.

Only time I fail to ward something is in Grimswarm camps.

[Danical]

Warding something and PWNing something are two very distinct things.

You'd see a hell of a lot more tangible benefit to getting summoning though.

[Fallen]

Hell, I mean to start hunting with 125 more often too once I get the RT to the minimum. That spell is awesome.

[Sylvan Dreams]

Well, now that the cat is out of the bag IC wise, I can post this.

Oh. My. God. Harness is taking forever :(

Another 833334 exp to go.

[TheWitch]

I scrapped the PF at 85 ranks. Now I'm regarding that as about 400 banked TP's in the event I want to train something that matters.

And I have no clear idea what I'm doing.

But, I got the slayer title. Yea, me.

[Fallen]

HAhahahaha. You just couldn't handle that grind with no tangible benefit, could you? I just grit my teeth, went to 101 ranks, and mentally willed myself to forget about the whole thing. You should do the same.

[Kitsun]

PF training totally isn't even bad. Maybe a few weeks of hard hunting? Trying to grind out these goddamn 2x lore ranks is taking for-fricking-ever.

[Fallen]

2x lores, 3x spells, 1x dodge or MOC for pures are the big UGHS. CM isn't too bad.

Everything else is gravy.

[TheWitch]

I had no issue sinking nearly 2000 TP's into disarm mastery, because every single rank I got the result of being more and more imprevious to jans ganking my runestaff.

Demonology I intend to get to 101 in, and all the way up will know that at various intervals, I can phase more, summon better, the demons can carry more crap, etc.

PF was just....what am I doing this for? Stamina? Meh. HP regen? You need to get hit for that to matter. And if there is actually any benefit to CMAN avoidance, it was so negligble as to be unnoticeable. Yea, I'll finish and get to 1x at some point, but for now I'm so enthralled with 118 I'm doing summoning lore.

[Kitsun]

Web is a freaking awesome spell since the revamp. At one point I considered going 2x Summoning Lore just for the 100% web on bolts... except I'm not trained in Spell Aiming with my Cleric or Empath.

[Danical]

Web is fucking nuts on weapon flares. I mean FUCKING NUTS.

Also, Rheisia, PF helps against Creature Maneuvers (e.g., griffin drops, construct pinballs, motes, etc.).

[Fallen]

She knows, she just got ancy because some number on her swing and cast wasn't rising every few ranks.

[Kitsun]

Geez, you two are streaking right along!

Couple million that far post-cap doesn't mean all that much.

[Danical]

I really slowed down the last two months due to internet suckage and vacation time.

Since coming back, I haven't been grinding nearly as much as I had in the past.

I'm sure once monks come out, things will change!

[Kitsun]

I think I capped like a couple years before The Witch and Evarin both. Riding my coattails now!

[AnticorRifling]

I decided to take up alchemy on my paladin. Went from 1-375 before my hearthstone was up.

[TheEschaton]

Make me some pots, bitch!

[Fallen]

This goal was a long, long time in coming. Keep those Unpresence scrolls handy, as Evarin can now locate anywhere on the globe:

Spiritual Lore - Summoning.........| 190 90

AND, because some bastard decided to bother with registering on the fame charts ahead of me, I am reposting my 99th spot on the god damn fame boards. Suck one, Desorceri:

99 Evarin 99557430 100 M D-Elf Sor
100 Desorceri 99526039 100 M D-Elf Sor
101 Vespres 96941457 100 F Giant Cle

[Danical]

Wait, did you really get the summoning lore for global locate . . . ?

[The Ponzzz]

The only other things summoning lore will help is some 100s spells and curse.

[Fallen]

It helps my area web, web bolt, 125 (Faster load time), some off-circle spells, and apparently, 130, which I don't use. And you bet your ass X-realms locate.

It was primarily for roleplaying, but those web bolts sure do kick ass.

[Stunseed]

Why does Evarin not use 130?

[Fallen]

740 + Gold rings = Fuck 130. If I could 3x train Physical Fitness like Estild/Oscuro's favored children and have absolutely no penalties from the spell, I would.

You sneaky bastard, you forgot to mention one of the spells that uses summon lore. I wager that Divine Shield recharger works wonders with that much lore.

[thefarmer]

Arm of the Arkati (1605) - +19% DF. Very yes.

You swing a weapon?

[Fallen]

Nope, but my hunting partner does.

[Danical]

It's lore / 3 for prof circles unless, of course, you have knowledge of the spell.

So you have 30 effective lore which nets you 14% DF increase.

Also, those changes haven't gone through yet or my god damn disk would hold a shit-ton more with my 101 Air Lore.

[Fallen]

Some work with full lore, some don't work at all, some with the right lore thresholds.

I'm about to finish my 3x PF, and then I'll finish my 3x dodge. Both are on their way. I'm all about what gives me passive mechanical benefit. Especially since my hunting ground is soloing warcamps now, I'll take the extra DS and Redix.

Yeah...I'm not actually in sunfist. I just abuse the warcamps. Thought about doing the MIU and AS thing. There's stilla few more spells I would like to wear that I can't. These numbers get me all wizard and cleric spells and colors. If I go beyond that I start getting zapped.

[Danical]

I foresee MIU and/or AS being top priorities for post cappers when the 130 area comes out.

[Ashliana]

What is the point of 200 climbing/swimming ranks?

[Fallen]

Redux, and is useful for Teras swim wise. Defense against that drown maneuver.

[NocturnalRob]

Redux, and is useful for Teras swim wise. Defense against that drown maneuver.

since when do swimming/climbing have any effect on redux? i thought that was changed.

edit: In your face, Kitsun! I type FASTER!

[Kitsun]

Climb/swim doesn't factor into redux anymore.

I max trained my climb/swim for the sake of never needing to worry about drowning/falling on the freak incidents where I forget I have 200,000 coins on me.

[Khariz]

My swim training is solely for swimming into Nelemar with zero failures in the swim (so I can script without watching my script to swim in), and for the executioner drown maneuvers. Never drowned once from it with 101 swim ranks.

[Danical]

Money says the way to the 130 area will require an assload of climbing and/or swimming.

In other news, 42 more ranks of HP = 700k exp . . .

[Renian]

My swim training is solely for swimming into Nelemar with zero failures in the swim (so I can script without watching my script to swim in), and for the executioner drown maneuvers. Never drowned once from it with 101 swim ranks.

I have drowned from the executioners from that many ranks.

However, as an archer, I don't make as much effort to check my encumbrance.

[Danical]

I'm pretty sure that's what he posted. That was around the time more people were learning how much PT effects critter maneuvers in general.

[joehollywood]

hey khariz, pardon me if this is a dumbass question, most of mine are...but didn't someone say definatively that you can get 5 spells and it not affect redux one bit?

pop 401 and 101...two freebie spells and that should take up your TP's for a bit

[Fallen]

For a warrior I think that would be an absolute complete waste of points. It costs warriors something like 120 mental points to get a spell. That is MORE than enough TPs to get enough MIU/Arcane symbols to use the spell yourself. There is no benefit to self-casting these spells other than the spellburst threshold, and MIU/Arcane Symbols will provide that in spades.

Rogues should learn spells to help them pick, or for stuff like e-wave and Targetting. Warriors should leave learning spells the hell alone.

Spell tanked Square = Strongest defensive build in the game.

[AnticorRifling]

Spell tanked Square = Strongest defensive build in the game.

Moreso than having a complete outside spellup + being able to run 919 at all times?

[Fallen]

Yes. Maneuvers bypass DS/TD, and while haste helps, a square wears thicker armor, and is by nature of his profession is able to train to mitigate the damage/risk. Add in Redux and now you're talking.

Basically, a square can make himself immune to most DS AND TD based attacks, and have the best odds against maneuvers.

Pures can only boast immunity to DS/TD based attacks, but will always have a weakness to CMANs and maneuvers, even with "maxed" skills.

[Danical]

A bard with 128 spellsong-powered Song of Luck with 2x CM/PF would be better than 2x CM / 3x PF warrior against Maneuvers.

However, the likelihood of having a build like is next to impossible as it would take a ton of post cap exp.

Are you only 1x in CM?

[Fallen]

Bard can't wear plate and remain as universally effective.

[Kitsun]

Heh, the day after I sold my bard, my mage got splattered by two adept motes in two back to back hunts. Hadn't actually died to a mote in like 8 months prior.

[Danical]

Bard can't wear plate and remain as universally effective.

Plate only hinders your chance to avoid Maneuvers :(

Additionally, plate and redux are irrelevant concerning DS if you never get hit.

[Danical]

Are you only 1x in CM?

Correct.

To go from 1x to 2x CM it would take 3232 PTPs which is 2693334 exp. I like having all the ancillary skills I have instead.

After I finish 2x HP (683334 more exp), then I have 1x Dodge at 1.5m exp.

I could dump my 192 ranks of trading, 24 ranks of EMC, 101 ranks of FA and Survival but it's well worth the bounty points and jink.

[Fallen]

Plate only hinders your chance to avoid Maneuvers :(

Additionally, plate and redux are irrelevant concerning DS if you never get hit.

Avoiding maneuvers only goes so far. After a point, it doesn't matter how good at dodging you are, you're going to get hit. In plate, you're in the best position to survive.

[Danical]

Plate has, I've been told, absolutely no bearing on the wound severity via Maneuvers; crit padding, however, does affect wound severity.

[Fallen]

You're telling me armor doesn't factor in the damage output of maneuvers?

[Danical]

Correct.

[Fallen]

Nonsense.

[Danical]

Lies.

I don't know what to do next, really. Obviously there's HP and EMC to 2x, but that's almost as bad as Spell Rank Hell. Probably Survival and Climb and Perception to 50 ranks, then maybe Climb/Swim to 101. Then it's on to the hellish grind.

[Kitsun]

I actually didn't mind pushing my spell ranks to 3x. At least you're typically getting CS, TD, spell duration, Spell bonuses and stuff.

Why Survival at 24? Just for the random no-slip?

[Rimalon]

Yeah, it's for the Icemule no-slippage, but also for the assumption that Phase 2 of Alchemy is going to be worth a damn, and I'm going to need to do alchemy (and forage for bullshit components).

EMC to 2x, I would say. Get the most out of 540. It is a hell of a spell if you max it out.

i read somewhere earlier in this post about how much higher on the fame list Tsin is. and i figure he experience is equally enourmously high.

was wondering how he did that? has the character just been sold and passed down from the start of the game?

or is the guy the best scripter/power hunter ever or something?

For a time he hunted for most of the day every day, and is able to reliably kill anything in one shot.

He doesn't even have close to maxing all skills.

I was not assuming anything. Nor was I basing it off of the fame pages.

Drizzsdt was one of the few warriors I knew to have a ton of exp, even in GS4. From various people I have heard he was closing in on 20m exp, but never quite knew exactly how much since I don't know him.

Recently I have become aware of a lot of capped warriors I had never really heard of.

Just wondering if anyone knew for sure since warriors are kinda the low man on the totem.


Anyone have a list of characters and their profession that are close to or above 20m exp? And that don't care if its known? The few I know of try to keep it quite even if its pretty well known.

I know he can get some phantom dodge from Tonis and Mirror Song, which with his bard spell training, is essentially 1x dodge. There's also sonic armor (7x) and the elemental defenses. So I guess with the sword/board in guarded he does fine.

Still, even my bard 1x's dodge. But he poles. Gnimble probably just probably banks on 1030'ing mobs before they release he's actually in the room.

Hmm. Would the 86 shield ranks that 1120 PTPs buys outweigh the DS loss of a dropped runestaff?

I think so when you consider the DS loss when disarmed is bigger and the RT from the maneuver.

I only have 50 shield ranks and hunt nelmar. Life's much better now that i use a shield.

700 DS with runestaff dropped to 400's when disarmed OR 600 DS the whole time with a shield no worries about being disarmed.

<< 700 DS with runestaff dropped to 400's when disarmed OR 600 DS the whole time with a shield no worries about being disarmed. >>

Interesting, thanks for the info.

So that shield 600 DS is without a runestaff? Can a runestaff be added or is it either/or?

:D

:D

600 DS without a runestaff but I get outside ranger and wizard spells. But only 50 ranks of shield use and now its not a priority to get more cause i have no DS issues.

and I'm pretty sure its either shield or runestaff can't use both.

Good work.

13 spells . . . ugh. That's a lot of TPs but 20 Spirit TD is so worth it.

[Kitsun]

I was tempted to shave the TPs for 120 from my spare Armor ranks but I've noticed a sharp decline in getting instantly PWND from Adept motes since I picked up 190 ranks. Not like I've got anything else to train for now anyhow.

[Back]

Because you were always attacked personally purely because of your politics...


I needed this laugh this morning.

:lol:

I was not actually talking about myself. While I do feel that it has happened to me, and that I have probably done it to others, its just indicative of politics in general.

Just look at any campaign. McCain’s campaign is a perfect example.

Read any politics thread. Eventually they all boil down to nasty insults. From both sides.

I remember once it took me TWO ENTIRE HOURS to download this one song on Napster. But that was also before I had Cable. Still, it used to piss me off when you'd have to wait for more people to log in to download missing pieces of it.

90 gives you cross-realm locate with 116, to anywhere from anywhere. It doesn't override blocked locations, obviously, but I can now peer in on you on Teras from Illistim, 740 there and kick your ass. :yes:

Not that I would ever do that. Just sayin.

91, adds one more potential target from splash on 111. Why not, right?

[Rimalon]

91, adds one more potential target from splash on 111. Why not, right?

And each additional rank after 91 continues to add DF for 111. Why not, right???

Mmmm, fireball DF!

I've decided once again to change my build; I don't need dodge because DS is never a problem.

I could start the long hard road of 2x CM @ 32 PTPs per rank or 26666.66 exp.

OR

2x MIU for super long durations on my 508/120 rods @ 16 PTPs per rank or 13333.33 exp.

Essentially, I could get 50 ranks of CM or 100 ranks of MIU.

THOUGHTS?

[Methais]

Do a barrel roll.

[Danical]

http://www.halolz.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/barrel-roll.jpg

[Swami71]

I'd go for CM's

120/508 rods are easy to come by

[AestheticDeath]

So you can still imbed 120? For some reason I thought you couldn't.

[Swami71]

I did a month or two ago. Its harder. I think I can only do 3 charges in a rod and be reasonably successful.

[Danical]

Yeah, 3 charges is pretty much tops for 120. I have like a 1 in 10 chance when trying to put 4 charges in the rod.

I just fucking wish they would update the FORAGE verb so you could "FORAGE for <type> stick." That way I could put specific spells in specific descriptors rods since there isn't a RUMAMGE verb for magic items.

Don't the alchemist made ones have like 20 or 30 charges?

[Swami71]

That can't be. That would mean theres something useful in alchemy.

[Danical]

I seriously doubt 20-30 charge 120 items can be bought over the counter.

[Rimalon]

How much does all that crap weigh? 16lbs or so? Running a wear/remove script pre/post hunt must be kinda obnoxious.

Yeah, weighs 17 lbs all together, and it's mainly from the arm/leg greaves. Definitely going to try to lighten 'em at EG.

I also don't wear everything every hunt... only if I feel lucky and go hunt Nelemar 2nd floor, or an invasion, etc.

But! I'm confident in saying that I can achieve the highest Bolt AS in the game, now... and that's... something? RIGHT?!?! FUCK I NEED ANOTHER HOBBY.

[Kitsun]

Post-cap kills everyone! Seriously, once you get past the easy skills, no matter how hard you grind you hit a point where you spend a week or two getting 10 ranks in something silly like going to 3x HP.

Although having 440 mana is something sexy in itself.

wtf? I thought there wasn't a cap on artisan shit anymore

EDIT: Nevermind, got my answer :(

The exception to the 1200 rank limit is forging. Because crafting and the weapon types are different skills, all of which are intrinsically combined, players can master either ALL of the ranks within forging (Crafting, Brawling, One-Handed Edged, One-Handed Blunt, Pole Arms, and Two-Handed Weapons) at the expense of 1000 of their ranks, or instead, learn Crafting and any two weapon types at the expense of 500 of their allotted 1200 ranks. The remaining ranks can be used to test other skills or however the player sees fit.
