Thanks for the reply and the effort Terror, i realise it might seem like moaning for the sake of it and of course everything cant be balanced or brought into the game (forgot about those damn pixies) some good ideas though thanks for the hard work.  Grin

Other things i wouldnt mind being looked at for rogues.

Pickpocket - Is there any point to this skill? I only know of 2 instances in the game were it is useful. The mysterious catacombs and the rogues arena. Is it of any practical use e.g. can you actually steal something worthwhile or farm using this skill? If not can we have some (over the top if you like) boss types which you actually have a precentage chance of getting something decent without having to beat it to death.

Open locks - Why cant we open all locks? Fair enough you can really high lvls on most things but again apart from a few places which can be bashed anyway i cant see to much use for this skill either.

I realise its hard to balance the game but it seems the only builds worth doing to do ANYTHING are dragons, dedicated hitters or meatshields. Going a high level rogue seems pointless simply because those skills are only useful occassionally. Cant hit, cant damage so theres no incentive.

I agree about the rangers as well. A massive 35 lvls gets you a +5 or 6 ab but if you go dex the damage is woeful and if you go str then the ac is so it doesnt really improve much for that build.

PP like the idea about the rogue.

Its annoying that the 2 closest classes to it SD and assassin get huge concealment AND in the case of assassin a +5 or so to attack for only 30 lvls.

Nice  Smiley I'm doing something similar with 35 cleric (needed for full divine power) 2 sd (for uncanny dodge) and 3 monk to top up skills ends up with 20 wis, 20 dex and about 18 - 20 chr (for divine might/shield) as well as full cleric but dc's are the sacrifice for toe-toe melee, still good buffs though might be a bit stretched compared to your archer build.

Not seen much posted in the Builds threads of late so i thought i would see what everyones most balanced build is ac and ab.

Not the best but i can manage an AC of 85 and AB of 60 with my cleric/monk/sd and about the same with my pally/sd/monk. (make it without true strike) I do alot of soloing so balance is king  Grin

So whats your best balanced toon's ac ab and stats, i presume most will be dragons but lets have some imaginatative ones.

Thanks FireC but i went backt to the drawing board  Grin
82  Gondor vs Mordor 1 / GvM1 Players Forum / Re: Good job on: 01 March 2011, 11:09
Havent checked it out yet but i echo the sentiments of NL. Thanks for the effort you all put in.  Grin
83  Gondor vs Mordor 1 / GvM1 Players Forum / Re: UMD question on: 25 February 2011, 19:02
Thanks for the response guys  Grin

Oh well guess i will have to make do with an ents finger until i get one of the others or swap my staff for one i can use. Why a druid or a wizard would need a staff that does damage i dont know, i suppose it can be useful if shape shifted. Poor toon gets put on hold then  Smiley

Damn if i had known that i could have made him a wiz pm wm lol
84  Gondor vs Mordor 1 / GvM1 Players Forum / UMD question on: 25 February 2011, 15:03
I have radagasts staff (red letter) but cant seem to use it (wiz druid only)

I'm building a wm/pm/bard but at lvl 23 (required lvl for staff) even with UMD maxed and +6 on chr and epic skill focus umd i still cant use it.

I made the whole build around the staff so what kind of UMD total will i need or indeed even maxing UMD at lvl 40 will i be able to use it?
85  Gondor vs Mordor 1 / Admin Announcements / Re: Yoghurth's Goodbye Event on: 22 February 2011, 17:33
What kind of lvl range Nobu?
86  Gondor vs Mordor 1 / GvM1 Players Forum / Re: Wanted! on: 22 February 2011, 15:04
Ah monk sd my favorite build  Grin

I think i will build one just for the job wink

Mords or gonds? Wouldnt it be more fitting to be 5 lvls below them!
87  Gondor vs Mordor 1 / GvM1 Players Forum / Re: Mysterious Catacombs on: 21 February 2011, 10:14
Thanks for having a look at it anyway terr  Grin

Not been there for years but me and chav beat up the master after pp his key but after all that effort he didnt drop a key to enter his i presume, treasure chamber which cant be picked.

Was this just a one off? or is it something that needs looked into? It was a shame as we had fun getting there.

Yep i would keep what you have for a while longer yogi, you never know you might feel the urge  Cheesy

Havent played for a few months myself i log in every now and then to see if anythings changed but alas  Cry still no room for soloists and i cant fit party play around my schedule very often.

The main reason i dont bother playing is simply due to the lack of builds that are of any use, its just too limited for me who doesnt want to build a shifter/dragon.

I think it stops alot of new people coming back, the old brigade have all the best kit and the newbies just cant compete. Seems like the server is just there for a couple of people and lacks the fun and community it used to be famous for. I keep hoping there is more orientation towards retaining players and gameplay rather than just thinking up new impossible areas (and nerfing everything), but i havent given up hope entirely.

Oops sorry turned into a bit of a rant there !!!

If you dont come back good luck to you Yogi, take care  Grin

Rabbac.

30 Lvls of SD would push you over 100 Cha, i get about 110 with my str based one, only got 16 dex but still very effective with double shadow evade on. 
91  Gondor vs Mordor 1 / GvM1 Future Talk / Re: Events on: 17 January 2011, 11:46
 laugh

Strange isnt it Rod, i even found myself agreeing with PP!!

Although i do think you last statement was a bit out there come on now, surely the end isnt niegh!  wink
92  Gondor vs Mordor 1 / GvM1 Future Talk / Re: DM representation on: 17 January 2011, 11:44
Agreed, good post and good points.
93  Gondor vs Mordor 1 / GvM1 Players Forum / Re: extreme difficulty of areas on: 07 January 2011, 11:48
PP pretty much sums it up. (a well thought out post? Well i never  wink)

I dont know if areana is the way to go as i think that a lot of things could be fixed and i would certainly be happy to go back to playing again. Not long after the wipe things were pretty fun and reasonably balanced and we were getting the numbers back but since then its just been a non stop whirlwind of change after change.

I'm not sure who said it (might have been pp) but after the wipe it was hoped that the staff would concentrate on finishing/improving the areas already there and getting the balance right,  have more DM interaction but since then it just seems to have got bigger and bigger and a lot of the areas just arent visited or fun and 95% of the builds useless and the numbers sadly reflect it, i just dont see where the server is supposed to be going. I do and always have appreciated the efforts of the staff though no matter if I think thier decisions are wrong they always work towards what they think we wanted (i think).

Again as PP says outside shifters there isnt any point to making many other builds and i dont make shifters  Cry  while me monks werent world beaters they were fun for me to play and solo but now like nearly all other builds they are useless at lvl 40.

Good post PP

I do think that GvM has lost alot of its community spirit though and new players find it hard to engage with established vets when it comes to partying as usual everyone is obsessed with items rather than the fun/joining in aspect of the game.

Chaoz i hope your right but there are alot of alternatives to NWN (in the LOTR side) and its a very, very old game.
94  Gondor vs Mordor 1 / GvM1 Players Forum / Re: extreme difficulty of areas on: 05 January 2011, 12:42
Couldnt agree more with all the above posts. I too havent played in over a month simply for the reasons outlined by nep, terr and schlix.

There is nothing to do with a lvl 40 toon other than hope that a party comes along which you can join even then its touch and go in alot of areas. I feared it would go like this after the wipe when the emphasis shifted from solo (or 2 people) to mainly party play (and said so).

The problem is when you log in there is either a small group of people who party together and dont allow you to join in (this got worse and worse) or nobody to party with due to lack of numbers or in my case time zone. 

Fair enough a couple of hard areas for party is ok but there is no enjoyment any more to simply log in and have an adventure by yourself.

I miss the old days when you could just log in and have some fun and have a bash at trying to get some equipment now i find myself wandering around in the same old areas as the newer ones are just impossible to get near, its just not worth my time or effort i'm sad to say anymore and i thought i would be playing till the last Sad

96  Gondor vs Mordor 1 / GvM1 Future Talk / Re: Events on: 20 December 2010, 10:30
Well i'm going to have to swallow my self respect and agree with PP for a change  wink

Every build i think of i think it will just be useless (especially soloing). No point in building clerics/sorcerers they just get dispelled in 2 secs. No point in building fighters they just dont have enough ac to even do semi-hard levels and the opposite with dexers.

I havent a clue from one week to the next whats going to change and whether its worth putting any effort into building a toon.

Apart from the toons PP mentioned even my level 40 toons are useless unless theres a fair party going which there isnt especially during UK time.

And as i mentioned even when there is a few people on they annoying dont want to party because they are on a raid or just hanging with their friends. Good for them but not so newbies or people who arent within their lvl. Perhaps instant party join when logging in would be a good idea.
97  Gondor vs Mordor 1 / GvM1 Future Talk / Re: Events on: 17 December 2010, 11:13
What can i say, I was just getting sick of all the continuous, never ending nerfing (and loosing toons) and getting annoyed at the tendency towards cliqueness with certain people which doesn’t make all feel welcome (which I have always tried to do).

Nothing worse than 6 mords/gonds on and someone logs in and asks for an invite and dont get one because they are on a raid or sitting around the pocket or the worst, just leveling together because they dont want to join the group!!

I prefer the old days of just Gondor or Mordor party no matter what they are doing, at least its company for those left out, but i guess i'm just social. Seems to have lost a lot of community spirit more like an us and them seneario. Cry
98  Gondor vs Mordor 1 / GvM1 Future Talk / Re: Events on: 14 December 2010, 17:13
Lol i think your right nep, i have stopped playing myself over the last month or so, the longest time in all the years i've been here!
99  Gondor vs Mordor 1 / GvM1 Players Forum / AC AB on: 04 November 2010, 00:59
Just wondering what your top totals are for AC and AB

I managed to get 108 for ac any advances on that? Only on the build tester havent built it yet. Is it worth building as i dont know how effective it is on the server. Highest ive built is a lvl 30 sd with 85.

AB about 65 dont include TS cos thats only very temp.
100  Gondor vs Mordor 1 / GvM1 Players Forum / Re: Build Testing on: 28 October 2010, 23:48
thanks both, i like that idea of a sandbox, it would be useful  Grin
