Guest emp_newb Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 well which skills do you want to train? Your stances you can master my spamming the stance spell. Crit strike/onslaught while hunting or if your really dedicated find an invoker with mana shield. Your anats are a bit harder to train, but Im sure you can find mobs that present challenges that are of the appropriate body type. Any specifics you need help with?

Pali Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 They're actually quite simple to train, just time consuming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myrek Posted March 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 those are the little pointers I'm looking for: like stances go up by casting, not by sparring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pali Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Except deathweaver. That'll go up through use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myrek Posted March 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 really? that's odd since deathweaver is the only stance that is a spell, the others are listed as skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pali Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Wait until you get them. The selection is under skills, but once you select, each stance is a spell. You cast them to drop into them. So, for DKs out there, you DO have reason to silence a blademaster if he's about to lose stance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myrek Posted March 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 gotcha. obviously I know zilch about these guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pali Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 As did I until I came back and decided to rank up Marrin. Know the class pretty damned well now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myrek Posted March 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 any other oddities a player should be warned about? (Like only one stance improving with use.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myrek Posted March 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Stay at 30 and master anats on pcs. Are they strong enough to not get raped at 30? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknown Brother Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 master your defances first, then just ask people to spar with you, use crap weapons and demon talismens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Greased Weasel Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 and watch sparring with monks, no matter how much I gimp my offense with a monk I still beat people like a red-headed step child, and I aint gonna wield a weapon dangit! You get twelve bajillion defenses I want mine too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycho Child Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Get your hr to -20 and blind yourself. No more issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest emp_newb Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Are they strong enough to not get raped at 30? Based on how well you grasp the class and how well you understand your eq and how to balance it, they can seriously rape at 25-35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myrek Posted March 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 Here's some specific questions: Do crit strikes add affects to mobs, just PCs, or some of both? Does predict work against mobs? Deathstrike? Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycho Child Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 Both, yes, why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatMike Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 deathstrike doesn't work on mobs but crit strikes do. predict and vigil work against mobs and I don't know about spellkill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiegel06 Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 As far as I could tell Spellkill does not work on mobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designated_Driver Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 It does. I've travelled to Magic with numerous blademasters, for the sole purpose of using it on a mob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myrek Posted March 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 seriously, deathstrike... doesn't work on mobs, so it doesn't save you the xp pen. It just doesn't give your oppnent the win? edit: if i ask too much, just give me a yes or no that there is a greater purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatMike Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 I've had two blms and died a few times to mobs and never deathstriked them. Had it up in the mid 80's on my first and it only hit pcs. Don't know about the pk credit I just know it stuns whoever kills you for a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myrek Posted March 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 so it's not hari-kari, it's like bead strangulation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
