Regent Avenue
  Lined with tall trees and groomed shrubs, Regent Avenue is the western
half of the main east-west throughway that dissects Maelbrim in half. 
Ostentatiously kept humbler than its position in Maelbrim would otherwise
dictate, those that designed it recognized that the role of a regent is to
fill the interim void that is left between sovereigns.  While a sovereign in
power, the title is a reminder of the inferior position of rank.  Therefore,
the road is not particularly wide, but it more than makes up for this in its
comfortable, aesthetic appeal.  Regent Avenue continues west from here and
leads into the Forum to the east.

The Forum
  The newly built Forum is Maelbrim's premier meeting area.  It is a large
circle, its boundaries marked by columns and its ground laid with marble. 
Here is where public deals are struck, orations are given, and a great deal
of spectacle takes place.  It was ground zero for the catastrophe that was
summoned to this land, but there are no signs of that devastation now.  What
had once been a ruinous crater is now a symbol of life and a flurry of
activity.  The King's Square is due east, the Northern Commons to the north,
the Southern Commons to the south and Green Square to the west.  A fountain
has been placed in the middle of the square, a true masterpiece of art. 
Just north of it, a white marble statue has been erected, depicting a very
hairy, square, small person.  Must be a dwarf.

I think I'm slowly starting to learn my lesson not to mess with Psion's. Especially these dream psion's. Good lord..

It seemed like every single spell I had was easily dispelled, the first bout I got put to sleep cause right when viruthx came to reinitiate my herbal brew had just wore off so he did sleep me, then I went into hiding after recalling and regathered myself and my wits. 

Before I engaged him again, I wasn't flying cause I don't think him or his ecto trip, but I did notice that stone skin, sanctuary, detect, and many other spells can be easily dispelled by him apparently.

You will need to raise your mental saves significantly if you want to even stand a chance against him. It will be difficult no matter what you do as a giant.

[Celerity]

Are you using only one weapon? I know you are dual wielding a sabre + cleaver from the log, but your number of attacks seems quite poor. Training issue? It could be masochism redirecting some of your attacks, but I don't remember the mechanics behind it. I say that based on this round where you don't even attempt to hit him:

Viruthx's mind blast *** OBLITERATES *** you!
The white aura around your body fades.
Viruthx's spell vise grazes you.
Your poison scratches you.
Viruthx's masochistic control injures you.
Viruthx's masochistic control wounds you.
Viruthx's masochistic control decimates you!
Viruthx's shocking bite misses you.
You parry some ectoplasm solid's attack.
Viruthx has quite a few wounds. 

 

No bow? Mental saves would be nice...but you really need a lot more damage output. Saves might help against masochism, but you won't resist long. You should try to hit weapon vulns whenever you can. I don't know what your equipment looks like, but a couple of decimates against a mage per round isn't going to cut it as a giant warrior.

Flee/return would be effective here as you don't have much else to do in combat and you might disrupt his casting a bit and you need the extra damage.

I know it might look like he is smoking you, but think of him as an invoker that can't do as much damage. He really is just dispelling and doing a damage spell (which he can't do as fast as an invoker). You just can't match his damage output, so you lose. It'd be very nice if you had a cabal pet for damage output here.

Take note of how his spell vise works. That will help you. Also remember that psis have trouble recasting big spells, so if you can get him to waste them and dance around a few ticks, he'll be retreating to mediate for them again, but generally speaking, overwhelming damage output will be the better key to winning this match in my opinion.

I think I'm slowly starting to learn my lesson not to mess with Psion's. Especially these dream psion's. Good lord..

Your problem doesn't come from the fact that dreams psis are stronk.

It comes from:

1) You are an ogre and mages are your bane. Face a competent invoker and you would have been dead in 3 rounds.

2) Your EQ is not on par which means your damage is low and you can't defend against his spells.

3) You make many MANY mistakes.

Except I'm pretty sure hes a storm giant. Yeah, his hp fooled me too, I swear I've had storm giant that have never cracked 1k hp.

[f0xx]

Now that you mention it, I do remember that he is actually a storm giant (nice HP pool indeed!)

Well, against this particular foe, it doesn't really matter, ogre or a storm giant.

Vs mages, ac is not as important. Don't waste time with putting stone skin back on. What you need is sanc and protection.

Get your damage output higher as was already said. Use very aggressive weapons (whips, axes).

[Pali]

If he's dispelling you easily and consistently, don't use the glimmering staff if you can avoid it - use black leaves, or even vials, anything that doesn't require you to spend time removing a weapon (black leaves you won't even need to flee for - once he's dirted, don't bother doing anything but letting your attacks go; just wait until you're dispelled and put sanc back right away) and can be easily replenished.

Going to be interesting to see how that strategy holds against this path.

*shrugs* No idea how the path works, just an idea.

Bro you need ALIASES.  Wasting four commands to you a glimmering staff is nuts.

alias sanc rem cleaver;hold glimmering;bran;rem glimmering;dual cleaver

 

I have seen your armor, its not very good.  You need to get your hit/dam much higher.

 

Someone said no bow?  Did you have one?  Missile scrolls are expensive, though I know he has a ton, still though it will help with your hit/dam

 

You might have done better if you were not running around trying to type three commands to give yourself an aura.

 

Don't use bash unless its near the end of the fight against a mage,  Just sit there and let your weapons do the work.

 

WHIPS WHIPS WHIPS.

 

You improved so much since that last log, great job.

What's your HIT/DAM at? Ideally you want to be in the 60's. Bare minimum 50's. With the right weapon selection and no regard for saves 70's. Play around with it and keep going at him. I like your heart and determination, keep at it.

[Anonymous]

Sarcon, I think the last time I checked my score it was sitting at 40/50 hit/dam. I'm having trouble getting it higher while still gaining more saves.

How in the hell are you folks getting that high of hit/dam?

[Anonymous]

Well Zavero, I was at that, now I'm sitting at 32 hit 47 dam. And I'm a Storm giant with 24 str, and 16 dex, so honestly I guess I have alright gear? I honestly don't know.

Equipping above average gear, using prep items, having Anume stain your characters, etc.

My druid had 60/65, -550 ac, and 30-40 saves before the rare purge this month, and I wasn't even really decked. It's not really all that hard once you learn what items to combine. Some slots are just far superior for certain stats. You might see the buffs an item will give you, and think "oh man, that will cover all of my saves requirements for affliction saves...." only to put it on and now have to transition 3 other slots to pure hit/dam to make up for it... which actually nets you a lower combined value than just getting a few hybrid pieces.

 

You can also take advantage of the locker system to have a non-rare backup set that will net you about 45/45, -400, and 15-30 saves, so you can get back to the above numbers within a few hours.

 

If anyone is curious about trying to powergame the lower levels (looking at you, q-wannabes), feel free to shoot me a PM. I spend a lot of time in those levels, since, you know, I can't play any normal character... and by consequence I think I can gear up a level 30 better than anyone else in the game.
