[Asha]

Clips in action, stats and race plz thx!

[LOL BRIELUS]

it's easily doable, but isn't there going to be an eventual nerf of all these nasty empath AS spells?

[Asha]

Hahaha oh that would make CRB sooo happy in his trousers.

[Asha]

[iJin]

Man, if Tsalim still played he'd still be the best THW ever.

:heart: him.

This still doesn't make me miss GS one bit.

[Nilandia]

Aw...

I miss you, Jin!

[LOL BRIELUS]

what are good lores for a THW empath? i see Rogane uses blessings and transformation...what is that good for?

[WRoss]

I am Rogane....Transformation helps with the amount of blood cured for troll's blood as well as being able to heal yourself with no RT while hunting. Blessing helps you with healing scars while healing (also troll's blood doing this). It also gives you +1 AS per 10 ranks from 215. I should be capping in a few hours. I'll post my skills at 100

[LOL BRIELUS]

Nice! congrats. what do you think is more important to get first? both seem pretty important. I think i'll start on blessings.

[WRoss]

I think getting 1.5x PF and 1x cman is most important. I did transformation before I even started swinging. It just helps with being able to keep yourself alive while hunting. I didn't start blessing until maybe 50 or so trains.

[Athgo]

Another bonus is that at 65 blessings lore ranks you can restore all of your stamina every five minutes with 1107.

[WRoss]

GOS wasn't an option until I was about level 50 or so

[LOL BRIELUS]

you recommend gos?

[WRoss]

I dunno, I'm COL, but plan on going GOS after I cap.

[LOL BRIELUS]

as far as strategy, how do you deal with swarms?

[Marl]

as far as strategy, how do you deal with swarms?

this is the main issue I have with mine at lvl 20 no way to deal with swarms really and if there is I don't know how to do it!

[WRoss]

1120

[Athgo]

GOS wasn't an option until I was about level 50 or so

As a pure empath, GOS is ridiculous with 2x PT and 65 blessings lore ranks.

[iJin]

When Zuie and Tsalim hunt together, we use 1120 alot for the swarms. He uses it alone quite well, and is almost to cap (Although he would be now but we're both slow at hunting and we don't like power hunting. :/ )

So you can do it, just takes a bit of effort. If you have any questions I can pass them along to Salim.

[WRoss]

I allready capped and I'm a THW empath. In about 1m exp, i'll be swinging 500 self spelled. WOOT

[audioserf]

I just want to say that having returned to the game recently, your THW empath makes me quasi-regret picking a warmage for my new character. Congrats on capping.

[Sweets]

Congrats on the cap!

[WRoss]

Here's my stats at cap. No extra training and 34 TPs left over.
