>exam brig
Crafted from thick sheets of pyrothag hide, this brigandine armor seems a bit heavier and bulkier than most. It appears that some previous owner was in the habit of wading in pools of lava, for the leathery surface is heavily scorched. Careful inspection, though, shows that the armor's hides have been remarkably undamaged by the intense heat. A strange necrotic haze radiates from the brigandine.

[Luftstreitkräfte]

well, a couple things here boys:

1. the dagger has vhcw magic bane, but no regular weighting. i'm always waiting for some number cruncher to stumble over my post at 7:13am in the morning after he's had his 7th coffee. he looks at all the ambush shots, replies with graphs and charts and "herp a derp this shot is dcw, this shot is vhcw, how much ambush do you have? can i see stats/skills." alas i get you corny folks. sigh.

2. the character is level 52. pyros are 58. any ambusher will tell you the struggle is real when you're highly underleveled vs tougher opponents.

3. any ambusher will tell you those accidental chest shots usually result in a stun, but not a kill.

4. i'm so flattered that you guys still fondly remember IW. luckily i was whisked off to an internet asylum and rehabilitated. tl;dr I doth hath learned to internet.

[Draphic]

I am an ambushing ranger with a longsword, but never considered ditching my shield. are you using 608 on these?

About to place my CM points again... which ones did you use with this style?
