What an embarassing waste of a character and all of our time!

The character took a huge investment of time but I just wasn't doing anything and I did not enjoy logging on.

I took more deaths with this character than my last 4 50's combined...ugh..

Time for my short rant:

Not to mention all 4 of my enemies who have one (or two) average 31+ wrath weapons...all of which can one round me through sanc if I am unlucky. My other opponent could make all my pets disappear with just one spell (not being able to save against it either)...and then there was Dumela which was just plain embarassing and unprecedented in my utter failure of common PK sense...also, undead really should be immune to negative energy things such as skeletal drain and life drain...

Rant finished, thanks!

Thank you to the following chars for being involved with me in some way or another, but this just wasn't the char to do anything special.

Maldibion

Marath

Triston

Omysa

Caervrin

Todall

Hykinay

Sylana

Rosali

Mordven

Gryton

Lemus

Tristin

Kraffen

Meriumae

Wixan

Aranok

Baerdryn

+ the various other members of the cabals that I interacted with or uncaballed people that helped me out!

Other great memorable PK moments included doing a NOF instead of NOD when Triathix logged on...mobdeathing in desolation (which loses all your eq in my case) because I did a S instead of SL...having Drayson do more than 600 damage to me with one hit (causing a one-hit kill)...and being one-rounded by a lowbie in the end because I was being a stupid idiot. :P Also the innumberable times I lost all my pets when I logged off (should just make animate corpse into animate crab/drstam).

I strongly, strongly, strongly advise anyone from trying some interesting RP combination that you know has some huge PK flaws unless you do enjoy dying (which I never do..)!

I feel this character had some potential, but it just wasn't happening. The PK powerspike of the combo wasn't quite there. RP is much better as a lowbie... Next time, should go lich and gain the PK benefit of my combination...or just go illithid and achieve some kind of power spike (and save 150 hours of my life twiddling my thumbs at 30--don't go for qrace/qclass unless you are in the American time zones).

Goodbye to a project that lasted only a few months and hello to something new.

** winks suggestively.

A plainly adorned humanoid is here. Thickly layered and hooded robes

hide much of the figure, but it is obvious that a male human is beneath it

all. The heavy hood is drawn back, revealing some of his partially veiled

face. Noticeably, his hair is deeply black and oddly cut to almost girlish

standards. The hair crowns a chiseled human face. The lines are deep and

angular. The sharp face and large surreal eyes give him a trademark

ethereal presence. Those eyes mirror his hair in color, sharing the same

shadowy countenance. The nose is slightly disfigured and has probably been

broken some time in the past. The exact details of these features are

blurred by a thin veil. The veil looks to be made of a deep gold silk-like

material that is partially translucent.

His posture is light and relaxed. He does not move with the loping gait

of a martial fighter but his walk does give rise to some sort formal

training background. He has a light chain of tattoos and slight scars

flowing over his body. Miniscule tattoos of objects ring his pinkies and

thumbs and are each connected to scar lines that ride up his arms. Those

lines are occasionally interrupted by small, seemingly random designs which

have been woven directly into them. Sometimes the designs are as simple as

tear drops whereas others are tiny yet intricately cut and colored animals

or people. Assumedly, those scar threads connect to the lines that lead up

the back of his neck and disappear behind his long ears.

Here is a man that either carefully cleans his garments or somehow avoids

getting them dirty in the first place. There is almost no sign of road wear

anywhere upon them. Robes of the style that he is wearing often hold hidden

compartments within their heavy and numerous folds. The robes are primarily

black but have deep golden folds scattered within them. If not for their

golden highlights, the robes are plain and heavy enough to befit most any

faith's order of the devout. This man adorns himself with no obvious

religious symbols, masking the faith that his robes proclaim. All in all,

while this man doesn't look exceedingly strange, he has a deeply unsettling

countenance about him.

app + Death is often misunderstood. What happens when we die? Maybe we are

app + pulled into the nether regions, limbo, or some other astral plane. Maybe we

app + are reborn as some other form of life. Maybe we are simply destroyed,

app + continuing no further existence. All three of these paths have their

app + hallowed place in the legends, magic, and faith of the cultures of all

app + races. What few understand is that all three are working simultaneously.

app +

app + Living creatures are made of three primary components. These components

app + include matter or tissue, a soul or spirit, and a mind or identity. Our

app + tissue allows us to interact with other creatures and objects, manipulating

app + the world around us, making us useful. Our spirit serves as a link to our

app + creators, giving our lives a purpose. Our identities are what define us as

app + mortals. It is the most fragile component, and somewhat ironically it is the

app + most treasured.

app +

app + What people truly fear is not the reformation of their tissue or the

app + returning of their spirit, but instead the annihilation of their identity in

app + the process. Tissue is broken down and reused by the world, the natural

app + laws see to that. Every physical piece is reused, so there is no loss

app + there. The spirit returns to its master, which has been chosen based on the

app + creature's actions in life. The identity is completely lost at the time of

app + death. I wish to circumvent this process.

app +

app + Investing in bettering an identity when it will only be destroyed is

app + foolish at best. Simply abandoning the tissue is also foolish, for when one

app + becomes a spirit, they lose both their will and ability to act upon the

app + world meaningfully. So I have sought to preserve my identity and my tissue

app + together. To do this, the spirit must be sacrificed to a greater god. But,

app + it is only a mock sacrifice, as all spirits are claimed in the end anyways.

app + By devoting my spirit the greater powers of death, I will be able to

app + accomplish this goal.

app +

app + This knowledge is the accumulation of my studies. Death, like all

app + things, is only feared when misunderstood and uncontrolled. I have devoted

app + myself to understanding this quality of transience. Now, I wish to take the

app + next step and exchange my service and loyalty to make my identity and tissue

app + permanent. Use my spirit. Twist, contort, and shape it to your will. It

app + has always been yours to do so and I now willfully return it to your direct

app + control. If being alive means the destruction of my identity then I shall

app + prefer death.

app +

app + Saruk the Sage of Transience

Ah man, I had some interesting RP I was gonna do with your little army you were building. I said I would join your army, and I was going to use that as a front to completely turn on someone, either you or the cabal I was going to join, depending on how the RP went.

Ah well, I love our interactions together, I'm sure there will be more of em, on different chars.

Good luck with the next!

That no NOFollow must have been priceless. I would have gotten mad.

How did Drayson make 600 Damage to you ? And how did that kill you ? You should had more than 600 Hp's as a human.

Anyway, 600 Hp is huge. I mean even for a Vulnerability Cleave through no sanct that is a lot of damage.

ARGH!!! Just checked cleave. Why the hell do they get to factor weapon vulnerabilities, while my mounted charge give normal non-magical damage. Another prof of the game BIOS toward evil characters.

Still 600 is to much, i can see it doing around 450 but not 600.

You have a Log Celerity ?

Lol even -I- was suprised when I got you ;)

Unfortunately I couldnt leave anything for you - undead and tribunal? Pretty much the ultimate anti-watcher combo I can think of :D

I liked the idea of your character, besides for that one PK we hadn't met before, looks like we won't meet again either.

Ah well, well done on the effort! Move onto something you will enjoy more!

I had Islildien hit me for over 550 in one hit, thankfully it didn't kill me but just about. Never interacted with Saruk, but having the problem of logging on with no pets and the likes would be rather annoying. The power spike of the class is high, but with that problem of having pets disappear on you when you log on again the power spike could be very brief.

The key is not to get caught sleeping :eek:

Never got to interact with/fight Saruk. I hear you on the losing pets though. That bug is game breaking for necros, I know in the past you lost all at log out anyways. Todays mud, however is much different from the mud historically.

I deleted my most recent Necro, Viruthix, All I did was raise zombies...get a full squad then log out to get a drink and come back to find them all poofed. Real harsh stuff. :(

Good luck with your next Cel, your Rp is always fun and PK wise your always a challenge in almost any form. :cool:

Go say that to a Lich.

But you are correct. Now that Knowledge is greater, it is easyer to take them out.

But Undead are not weak. Just some combos.

Undead Necromancer is already weak from Turn Undead and Special Turn Undead.

And how do DK's get acess to average 30 Holy weapons ?

Times when everybody feared the undead are far gone.In my oppinion they are the most weak race right now.Only undead ninjas/thieves doesn't suck that much because they can hide.

Agreed. Especially if you are a 20 strength class. ;)

Always carry holy weapons and you'll be fine.
