OMG SES! Time to stalk you on WoW!

Cosair city seems ridiculous too. I dunno where exactly the spawning spots are, but they spawn non stop if u step backward or forward. i was looking at over 50 mobs attacking , with just a little bit of moving around. Same for where Sistra is.. If the tank doesn't get the first aggro, you are pretty much dead cuz party members other than tank will have to tank Sistra, or spawn millions of mobs running away from Sistra. What's bad is the respawn timer seems really short too, as in even if u don't stand on the trigger of spawning, so u can't exactly "Pull" them with an archer/ ranged weapon. Not funny when Sistra has 83 ab and does over 250 crits!

and Tower of orthanac.. the Top floor, are we meant to fight over 50 mobs at once? including bigby spams and disj + mind affecting spells..

Looks better!

I guess KD would be a better choice.

and either take EMA (guess this is also better) or epic prowess, but it's just 1 ab anyway!

Have fun! (Tumble 40 maybe? )

I'm not sure if you need dodge and mobility (although dodge is supposed to give you like +1 AC, and mobility .. well not so much since u'll have tumble anyway) are much useful.

[Deleted Imp unarmed strike thing, an inside informant told me this is creature weapon, so won't cause AOO!]

and maybe take toughness, or maybe some weapon proficiency (martial / exotic both if you can fit them in) / heavy armor (these are very useful), instead of well imp KD..

[If you can fit in Spell focuses, like Transmute for example, for massive long and massive buffs to str/dex/con from aura of vitality.  its like +8 or so.. (+6? I dunno tbh, check at pocket! ^^) for like at least 10 minutes with epic trans focus

Or if you want, you could focus Divination for +3 ab / ac (I think), and drinking true strike pots to hit]

(normal focus, greater focus done in pre epic, and epic focus post-epic)

[Also, I hear u don't need to focus unarmed strike / epic focus, as it's included in the shape. This true?]


Also for the starting stat, if you have not much Charisma use (other than some + skill points/ lvl 4 bard spells are quite useless at this point), maybe add to con as well, u wouldn't wanna have like 200 hp when unshifted. [And I don't see a point in going 14 dex as well [fixed DEX for Dragon]. I guess 13 was for dodge and stuff, but if u r dropping it, i guess you won't need it.]

For pre epic, you lose 2 ab from druid and bard levels.. so if you could do like 19 druid 5 bard 16 PM .. so go 16 druid 4 bard pre epic, that'll give you 2 more ab than what you have here I think.

For energy resistance, I guess if you go Fire dragon, then acid would be useful, but a lot of times.. green dragon would take care of it, so perhaps take sonic or something, or other elemental resist depending on what items you have.

I dunno what kind of AC you will get but with shield + PM, you should have pretty decent AC. I would prefer Epic Warding cuz I think the creature attack while Epic Warding on will negate any damage reduction, though I am not 100% sure. it should go through pretty much any soak. (but then again, this sounds more like a tanking build rather than hitting)

No epic prowess btw? I guess u can either go EP or Armor skin (provided that u took heavy armor feat pre-epic) --> [I guess if you drop EWF, you can take EP and Armor skin! (or heavy armor if u couldn't fit it in Pre-epic]

You'd only need 40 tumble I think! maybe 9 or so perform for fun bard song
I think max UMD is 25, but please check with others!

[Sorry, this is very messy!]

Things have changed

but hey charlie, long time no see!

This server has lead us to build more focused builds over the past few years. So a specific tank can only tank, hitters can only hit (I'm sure there are builds that have decent AC with high AB and damage, but they can't quite tank bosses). And now it seems like a designated healer is good on the side.

To be honest, I think it would be nice to see different tank builds able to tank different stuff. I don't quite know why constructs got nerfed (lowering immunities) and making them useless. They can't even drink WW pots anyway! They can't hit, all they do is getting hit with 40 ac. Like for aragorn, if you're taking 60 damage per hit, + 30-80 irresistible damager per hit, 4~5 times a round = gg pretty much. Same for DD PM tanks, they don't even last half a minute with aragorn. Could work if you just make ww pots not useable by PMs, without adding those +hax damage vs PM or lowering immunities from constructs.

For SD tanks, or all other tanks mentioned above, they are really difficult to level to begin with. They get no AB, they can't do anything solo (especially SD tank). Sure he won't get hit but he wont hit either. Lower HP compared to DR tanks. Can't solo anything anyway!

AC tanks could work but they get hit on 20s no matter what. but 85% conceal + epic dodge makes those 20s much less likely to happen. Besides, if you get flatfooted for some reason, blinded etc, tanks will die quickly, more for AC tanks I guess. Tank dies = raid dies, and like tough areas such as TOD, if tank dies and wipes, it's such a pain to get back there too. Seems like it respawns pretty fast too, so you might as well redo the whole raid.

With GS nerf, which makes u stuck in one place and die (or bugs and die regardless), or ethereal nerf that lasts only 1 round now (similar to time stop nerf, that lasts 1~3 rounds), party members can only rely on tanks to aggro boss / mobs. I think all the more, they should be left alone or even, get those DD  / construct tanks useful again so they can tank / off tank. (just make ww pots unusable by them, already did for constructs).

^^ wtb XP!

and Clearly I was there, cuz I am on the chat! and talking about Doreen and Shroom!!

Even other 1 handed longsword are better compared to the two-handed longsword,

like pelagir king's sword (1d8 divine sonic), even Theodin(?) 's sword (I dunno how to spell, sorry!)(2d8 elec, and other +skills)

I doubt anyone has this rare halfling / gnome only sword, which means it's harder to farm, so I think it needs some boost!

My paladin also gets 1d10+28 slashing+8 divine (irresistible)+5 magic (maybe +10?  Not sure if harper potions and divine favor would stack - but I'd assume not)

Divine favor is added onto ur character, and harper scout is onto the sword. This will stack theoretically (I have a pally WM HS, but i have yet to try cuz I havent reached lvl 5 HS). HS pot will not stack with weapon that already has magical damage though.

nice 

How do you get +60 search, say at mid 20s? I dunno. Sounds like lvl 40 area (or I'm just a noob and I don't know any search gear)

Noooooooo!!!!! It's still down  !!!

I R the destroyer!! 

Sever down!

Yeah, i don't have a crafter, so I cast it.
It seems to work correctly now. (with divination focused (greater))

Thanks!

I focused (greater) True strike, but it still lasts 9 seconds 

Victory or Defeat, let us all be nice to each other and GvM would be so much better place to be.
Courtesy goes a long way~

what.. loc'mer is ses!? ...

Either way Happy birthday!

There are mucho dispels by NPCs etc, so spells like NEP or SS won't stay as long as you want it to be. Same for low level caster spells :/ So by limiting those items, I dunno how it's going to affect the server by reducing it. I'm not saying I'm against it though.

disturbing.. but hilarious!

Maybe MasterThief is iteman!

Zuck stripped you at Thrall too! Oh and that incident at MM, that was epic fail..

Enough with personal attacks! Make peace with the world.
Watch this!

and we shall learn from it.

Ah.. gd old days..

How does mummy phenotype thing work? does heal like damage instead?
if it does.. people could abuse it and would this affect the healer or healee? sounds quite complicated...
