Amarylis [avian INV warder E] vs Berston [human ZERK WM I] --- no sanc


Anonymous

Recommended Posts


Berston is a WM inductee and seems to be having some rought time with the big guys who
want to feed their weapons off him.


Berston tells you 'Duel me?'

You tell Berston 'You not gonna break my staff, are you?'

Berston tells you 'We both agree not to break anything' <=== He gives up his weapon cleave and I give up my hellstream/icestorm.

You tell Berston 'I won't use aura as well.'

You have accepted Berston's challenge, he may not initiate attack for 5 hours.

Berston tells you 'Considerate.'


He looks like a cool guy so I decide to make this as fair as possible.


Berston is using:

A bit one sided but, I don't think we have a log of invoker with no sanc in the whole PK section.
If the IMMs decide it has no place here, feel free to delete it.

Some advice for Berston:

1. Get rid of those AC items when fighting mages, they do nothing for you.

2. Get some more offensive weapons! I know mage parry sucks, but don't rely just on that!

3. Playing an evil in WM is rough. If you plan on going gladiator, I feel for you.

He walked in, the firestorm mangled him, and the next round happened immediately after.  Not quite the same thing as a double round - the invoker isn't getting an extra full round of melee attacks and affects off on the target, it is just firestorm that "engaged" for the first bit of damage.

I'm confused at the point of this log.
 

Probably to give advice to the player if they need it.

Armor wise, your AC I don't think will help you against spells, it's about saves. Being that the top 3 characters in the game right now have all the good saves, I'd start looking at some of the other things you could find. Pay a Merchant if you need to. Being a WM Inductee is the roughest time and I'll never play another WM again. Not because melee is hard, but that first huge hump is hard to get over. Try using more offensive weapons when you're fighting like an Axe. A spear is okay if you're fighting another melee as they're far more defensive than a Mage, but in this case dual wield axes and go to town. Find an ember or other things that will blind them. A mage even on the high end of hit/dam that's not a Cleric, would probably be around 35/35 without spells to boost. All they have is parry though, with the exception of a few.

Headbutt more often. If you can get through their shields with a headbutt, that means less time they have to cast. That means they have no way to hit you offensively without the use of wands/staves/scrolls. I think it's only a tick or two, so if it's just a tick, time it out. My client has a timer on the bottom for how long it's been opened, and even if I'm not using a new one daily, I just casually glance at my timer from time to time to see how much time I have left roughly for each tick. Get the earring within the Cabal too, it'll help heal you. Crustacean ring? That's -30ac and -2damroll? You don't want that at all unless you're warring with Syndicate and/or Tribunal right now. At the very least, plagueward ring for the saves and +1 to hit/dam to replace it. Otherwise aim for the hollowed fingerbone/ring of accuracy. If you're wanting a non rare item, they're pretty expensive, rotdeath, nouncurse, and you can't remove them. But if you already know there's a chance you'll die before you'll ever see those others, it's a good alternative.

Here's a list of things you might be interested in, and their ID's all combined in one just in case you don't already have them on hand. Hopefully it helps.

Out of all @Tantangel's suggestions, the obsidian plummet in your off hand may make a difference as its wprog might slow the rate of the invokers spells.

You were very well armored so eating Lightning damage, could have swapped a couple of heavy armors before the second attempt and stifled some of that lightning damage.

Honestly, you would have done better in the second bout, had you removed all and cabal outfitted. AC would have dropped by ~40%. Lowering the damage from the lightning.

Now, this particular mage is no fool like me. She would have switched to her other rapid fire spells, but at least they only hit once.

Combine this, and you might have gotten the witch into the big nasty range, maybe. I do not think winning a duel at your rank against this mage would happen.

Even without the mage being sanced. She is just too swift on her feet. And not being able to both hit and run, and utilize rage makes it difficult.

Edit: Looking at your equipment, and quickly calculating, Your aff saves need a boost. Look for save vs spell items over individual branches of magic.

-5 save vs spell = -5 save vs aff, -5 save vs mental, -5 save vs mal, -5 save vs breath

Stack the spell save, then one or two items can be swapped to prepare for particular branches you have to fight.

Even removing the coifs and the ring would have dropped AC by 80 points alone.  Losing the helm drops about another 30 for the loss of 2/1 hit/dam.
Even replacing these four pieces with two moonstone pendants (if available) would have been significant in reducing damage of both call lightning and all other spells hurled.  Those four slots alone in removal/swap: +80 AC and -20 SVAff.

I ranked with Berston as I well as tried to equip him, he is purposely dressing in -ac gear. He comes across like a newb but still manages to grab master quester over people whom I know have a lot of quests so he knows the lands  pretty darn well.

I think he is a ringer! He is gonna lull people into a false sense of confidence and then smash everyone in the lands overnight! Lol ;)

Not hard.  Most times I won't do the Tamara+ quests.  To Brambus is enough for most non-identify/scrolls classes for me.

Also, humans get a fair number from their human-only quest line.

All my early fights were against heavy melee hitters. I wanted to see if high AC plus shield block would mitigate damage.

I also thought maybe the sacrifice of hit/dam would be countered by rage. Anyway it didn't work and I also got shredded
by mages really hard as inductee. It is to be expected. I am dressed better now thanks to some merchants.

I have no expectations as a human berserker but I don't see why without some practice I wouldn't become viable at the least.
