Save Limits

and i had someone trying to tell me the gear at 50 is not out of controll... lol -100 saves you could throw on sanc and go eat a sandwich come back and collect your spoils.

You wish, You'd be grazed to death by taht time. Saves dont save you from melee damage.

EDIT: Eq is easily balanced with a few KEY items. Dumela had over -40 across the board, and over 40 40 hit dam...

-80 saves in any way shape or form is more then enough.

You were in Shandor?

I think I might remember it also :)

I think I sent you a tell at one point along the lines of "Let's dance, you and I." while I was inside the Chaos Tower. Your response was that you were too busy (there were a couple Knights on, so I forgive you not showing ;)), which was disappointing... Galadran liked killing Chaos members inside their own cabal. :D

Oh right, sneaky little dog :) That was probably right about the time I was getting pummeled by said knights. I got lag locked by 3 Knights whilst fighting their guardian. Yeldon (L-A) wasn't even kind enough to cast recall on me before running off and leaving me to die :) Good fun back then. I much preferred the old cabal system provided that the elder/leaders were of the trustworthy type. I quite enjoyed taking applications for a bit of an interview :D I also preferred the simplicity over the current army system.

Nowadays with less players the army system might be a bit easier to manage. Back then, you were usually too busy to run armies around. You were more or less constantly stealing/retrieving standards or duking it out with someone.

A decent set of gear was also what we'd now consider a basic set, lol.

If it makes you feel any better, while I never got you I did get Yeldon inside the Chaos cabal a few hours later that day after laughing myself silly watching him fail to hit me with faerie fog 20 times in a row while I sat at one of the Chaos store mobs. ;)

Army combat's a bit more streamlined than it seems on the surface, once you get used to it (which isn't that hard... I'm rarely caballed these days). Still, I have to agree that it isn't something you want to be doing mid-PK.

And yes. EQ needs are a bit higher now. Not usually too much of a problem if you ask me, I still seem to do just fine, but some people think it is. *shrugs*

Kind of sad how few invokers realize which spells work well against opponents with saves and which ones don't...

Call Lightning over Jet Steam. Jet Steam sucks. And so does Hurricane.

Fire spells for the Low saves.

Ice spells for the High saves, they save for less.

Call Lightning especially on High Dex races, and BMG's/Clerics.

I hate fireball, i once made a Scratch on a Ogre, and no, he did not roar.

By the way, Faerie Fog is almost useless. In the time it takes to land, you have been robed blind or fully studied. Fireball, and HellStream on his Unsancted corpse.

About saves...

30 across the board does it. That is -30 in saves vs spell plus -30 on the respective spell type (AFF,MAl or Mental).

Unless you are a Fire giant trying to save a Empowered Qrace spell, then you will need like 100+ to max save. But this is probably the worst case scenario on saves.

Also, Remenber, you do not need max AFF saves. Even you save only 1 in 5 spells you are saving a lot of HP. Now in Mal and Mentals, things might be diferent. Getting sleeped might be a Instant death, or getting Blasphemy on you.
