Grishnak Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 Hey everyone, I just finished a move to Sunny SoCal and, while I'm rebuilding a life in a totally new area, was thinking about making a return to FL. It's been forever since I've put any real time into the game (and over a year since I've put any time at all), but I wanted to say I'll be back soon and ready to have some fun. I do have a few questions: - What's lacking at the top? Who could use some help? - What's new in the game RP-Wise? What is this cold stuff I keep seeing? - Who are the top dogs? Who do I need to kill to flex a few muscles (it's been too long)? - Anything else I should know? Hope you've all been well, it'll be fun seeing everyone again.

Nobody can argue that Nexus are not the top dogs, and have been for about a year... Knight have suffered more than any, but anybody who opposes Nexus would be the choice to 'flex a few muscles'. Triathix is the big kill. Ogre Ranger Tracker Nexus Leader. Make yourself a halfling bladesmaster with expertise in his anatomy and go upset the status quo.

He's become King of the Hill because he's good, not because he's playing something that is overpowered, which it is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's become King of the Hill because he's good, not because he's playing something that is overpowered, which it is not. I've seen a couple of paladins almost kill him. Why? Because rangers don't get polearms... Bladesmasters can taken that even further. Halfling bladesmasters in deathweaver, with expertise in Giant (ogres come under that right?) Can make a mockery of the best played Ogre Ranger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grumpy Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 If you're looking to try something different then I think you should try a Psi. The staff has spent so much time making them with all the paths and all and like no one can be bothered to play one:D . If I was the staff I'd be pissed. Anyhow, I think you have the skill to make it work. The last and the only one, condeathed very quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evangelion Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 Check Taeim's record. Halfling blademaster, even as an Elder in Gladiator (which anyone can tell you is pretty much the perfect set-up for a blademaster), is not the bane of an ogre ranger. Thandaeus and Kronit both proved that. Yes, that's right. I just referenced Taeim negatively. So before you go saying "We don't want to hear about Taeim..." If you're going to try to beat Triathix as a blademaster, do it as a slith or a human. You don't want to be playing something with a vuln (obviously), and high dexterity is your friend. Otherwise, paladin is your best bet - the problem here is finishing him. Battlemage is a close second. The biggest problem I see, over and over again, with Paladins fighting Triathix, is that they try stupid tactics. Flamestriking is a waste of time - even IF you manage to blind him, he's still going to wail on you due to blind fighting. The best course of action is to straight-up wrath his *** to hell. That's how I fought him as Tiernan, and that's why most of our fights went in my favor. But as I said, finishing is the problem. Anyway, I've derailed this enough. Make what you want to make, do what you want to do. You'll rock out with your cock out no matter what, I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evangelion Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 I'm sorry, which part did you want me to take? The part of the indignant eight-year veteran that is heartily angry with you for even daring to blaspheme the name of our good Immortal staff with your spew about how it's so hard to become a Psionicist now? Or the part of the disgruntled eight-year veteran that would like nothing better than to give the Immortal staff a firm piece of his mind for their hand in making it incredibly difficult to become a Psionicist? How about I play the part of the apathetic eight-year veteran, who doesn't give a crap. The guy who knows that anyone can accomplish anything they want in this game with a little RP and a little patience, and has shared this information with others, most of whom still resolutely fail to devote the amount of effort necessary to achieve these goals. The one who has seen it all, and done most of it, and has now simply resigned himself to poking fun at other people on the forums when they open their big mouth and walk right into an innuendo. I'll go with that one. It was too easy to pass up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pali Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 I would disagree with flamestriking being a waste of time against an ogre ranger, Evangelion. First, blinding the pets alone is useful. Second, landing the blind on him stops throw and stops him from being able to chase quickly if you need to cure up a bit or catch a tick of sleep. Third, flamestrike's got only one round of lag, as opposed to wrath's round and a half, which can be pretty important if his sanc drops or he knocks sanc off you or something else fight-altering and time-critical happens. Fourth, blind fighting does not negate all the affects of being blind. It lessens them, but they still make an impact. EDIT: P.S. Nothing's wrong with psis being a remort class. People who care enough to put the time/effort in for making a psi end up getting one. It's the same way with Crusaders and with Liches... they are hard to get because it ensures quality (or at least committment) from each of them.

Evangelion Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 I'm just telling you what I did as Tiernan, and had work. I don't feel that flamestrike does enough damage, and I don't think it's worth it. If you're worried about the higher lag, a mastered dispel evil should work just fine. And if you're wielding a polearm and have your defenses mastered, the pets won't hit you much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pali Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 Yes, but a mastered dispel evil does not also have a chance to land an uncurable 2 tick blind. Which, frankly, is worth a lot more to me in a fight than a little extra damage per cast. But then, my style with a paladin was much more attrition than heavy and fast hitting (possibly one of the differences between elf/human paladins, assuming I'm remembering right that Tiernan was human). I liked drawing things out a bit... gave me a feel for my opponent, gave them time to make mistakes, let them waste some of their consumables...

Ex-D&Der Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 I would think you want to find Triathix to kill him, be able to take away his pets, maybe be resistant to magic. So a Syndicate druid or halfling ranger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
