lulz.

Awesome.

[Fallen]

As long as there are people and/or MA groups to generate swarms a careful magical bard or ranger should absolutely decimate OTF. You can't learn as much per kill, but there will be far more things to kill in general. Fun stuff, Droit.

[Hecates]

wow, thats nice Droit!

[droit]

This build is insane in OTF. Fury kills 99% of all ithzir, as does spike thorn. Griffins take a single arrow to the eye, sometimes two. Constructs take a little longer--maybe 5 arrows or so to remove the aura--then a couple thorns or arrows to finish. Haste definitely helps.

[The Ponzzz]

How often do things fade? Normal rate?

[Danical]

When I took in about 1k casts at ithzir, they faded roughly 1/11 of the time.

I'm guessing there was some confounding variables and it would make sense it was 1/10th of the time.

[Bhuryn]

How much post cap experience do you have Droit? I wanna put it in the spreadsheet and see if paladins can even manage 2x spells and a weapon skill with your experience.

I'm not sure about fading yet. I don't really have a sense of what the normal rate is, but I have seen em fade a spike or two.

[Danical]

I think what's rad is while the total damage of 1030 may be a little better, having up to 4 crit cycles is fucking tits.

Everyone should start saving up their summoning lore enhancers to give to Droit for maximum pwnage.

How the christ are you getting 519 CS?

I just took the Tsoran # and added +30 from 1612 and bonding.

[Danical]

I just took the Tsoran # and added +30 from 1612 and bonding.

300 (lvl) + 100 (first 100 spells) + 15 (spells 101-120) + 20 (spells 121-160) + 14 (42 MnS spells) + 25 (WIS bonus) + 25 (1612) + 5 (bonding) = 504

You're better off putting those last 2 in MnS in terms of Pally CS.

I think the spreadsheet is off unless I missed something.

[Danical]

The shitty part is that pally spells don't scale up in terms of defensive benefits so all that training past 40 pally spell ranks isn't getting you DS whereas rangers get DS/Dodge up to 100 spell ranks (up to level) and bards get DS/Dodge past level.

EDIT: LULZ! You're getting 55 or 56 (depending on rounding) AS from the CM generated via 1611.

The other shitty part is they are 0/27

[Danical]

Well, yeah, I wouldn't recommend doing it.

If I converted my warrior to paladin I would get enough CS to auto ward with dstrike and use that as my setup spell. As you can see here (http://forum.gsplayers.com/showpost.php?p=968904&postcount=218), it's a really awesome setup spell.

Did it force your stance up? I haven't ever had that happen with targets (although some like minos tend to go offensive when they stand). I'd argue that ewave is still better though. I'll have to try it next time I decide to login my paladin. Having a lot more fun with my bard right now.

I will say:

Paladin 160 (1.6X)
Spiritual Lore 76 (0.8X)
Religion 26 (0.3X)
Summoning 50 (0.5X)

is -103 PT and a little closer to serviceable. If they'd just drop the spell cost down to 0/22 paladins might actually have an option here =P

[Bhuryn]

By the way, if you're really going to test more with 1615 can you do me a favor? have him PT or AA you first. I wanna know if that 10 seconds of RT is effected by 1602/1614 =).

[Danical]

I know Radicals have given me a stance force with it so I would naturally assume it works on creatures all the same.

Not from my experience. They lose the DS associated with kneeling, but that's about it.
