Trick Posted May 15, 2019 Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 (edited) Hey guys, I think I'm gonna turn it in for a bit. I've got a lot going on in my personal life(positive things) that I really want to focus on and finish up. FL has always been a major source of enjoyment for me and I've definitely loved playing it, but for right now I think it's just become a bigger distraction than I am comfortable with right now. More often than not I'm logging in and messing around or even idling rather than doing the things I need to do. So, here we go. Kalurin Illaeir was my first ninja and I thought of the character after @tassinvegeta said that ninjas are weak. Kalurin's RP was a half-drow that lived in Xymerria as a slave. He was born to a female drow and male human, the prior hated his very existence as it was a stain on her own life. She was treated poorly for having relations with a human and therefore lost status. Physical and emotional abuse followed him everywhere he went in Xymerria so he vowed to one day leave Xymerria and become something for himself. I had some great RP with quite a few people I think and enjoyed it. Ninjas are NOT weak. They are incredibly powerful when you get equipment and cabal powers going. Anyone that says otherwise just isn't playing them right. I was doublesheath and it was basically easy mode in a lot of my fights. My score fully prepped out: Quote /-----------------\/------------------------------------------------\ | Kalurin || Guardian of ADJUDICATOR | \-----------------/\------------------------------------------------/ | Str: 19(19)^2 || Level 50 Sex M Age 47(76h) | | Int: 20(20) || Class ninja Size medium | | Wis: 21(21) || Race half-drow Align lawful neutral | | Dex: 23(23)^6 || Hp 948/948 (100%) Exp 16115/472285 | | Con: 19(19)^1 || Mana 778/792 (100%) +Hit 57 (71%) | \ Lck: [|||||-] \/ Move 361/480 (166%) +Dam 55 / /-----------------/\--------------------/\--------------------------\ | ARMOR || SAVES || Deity Zoichan | | Slash -436 || Spell -31 || Faith Order | | Pierce -420 || Afflictive -4 || Weight 232/350 | | Blunt -393 || Maledictive -19 || Items 30/44 | | Magic -405 || Mental -22 || Prac 12 Train 0 | | || Breath -4 || RP 1 | | || || Gold 77K CP 422 | \-----------------\/--------------------\/--------------------------/ / You are in the prime of your health. \ | You are ready for a cabal promotion. | \-------------------------------------------------------------------/ I took 1 mob death and 2 player deaths. The biggest issue a ninja faces are giant laggers. They'll definitely ruin your day. Get high -ac and venom sacks/boots of stomping and you'll be fine. Your output is going to be higher than theirs. NEXT! Gromdral Brazenbeard was my "kind of" attempt at making a character to become a Dwarf King. I wanted to really embody the dwarf culture and wrap it up in a paladin shell, you guys know just how much I love my dwarves. I jumped right into from the start and had some cool RP fleshed out and some pretty neat IMM rewards for the things I did, but some unforeseen circumstances kinda ruined the character for me. I really loved the RP, but I didn't anticipate just how horribly, God awful boring paladins are. By far the MOST boring class in the game. You've two skills to work with and for the rest of the time, you're spamming cure critical. If you want a character that is a freakin' tank then go dwarf paladin sigil, but expect to be bored to tears when it comes to PK. You don't have burst damage power, you don't have strong lagging ability for when you DO get them low(I've hit mounted charge and had them flee instantly), and your magic strike doesn't do anything worth a shit for when you start getting lagged. Overall, I think paladins just need some flare. They are pretty balanced as far as classes go, just very, very stale and one-dimensional in their fighting style. But, that's just MY experience and opinion. I'm sure there are those of you that love them as is. Score fully prepped: Quote /-----------------\/------------------------------------------------\ | Gromdral || Sigil of SIGIL | \-----------------/\------------------------------------------------/ | Str: 21(21)^4 || Level 50 Sex M Age 298(57h) | | Int: 18(18)^2 || Class paladin Size medium | | Wis: 21(21) || Race dwarf Align neutral good | | Dex: 18(18)^1 || Hp 1091/1091 (100%) Exp 21033/556167 | | Con: 25(25) || Mana 758/939 (115%) +Hit 45 (77%) | \ Lck: [||||||] \/ Move 556/556 (100%) +Dam 41 / /-----------------/\--------------------/\--------------------------\ | ARMOR || SAVES || Deity The One God | | Slash -364 || Spell -22 || Faith Church | | Pierce -350 || Afflictive -44 || Weight 376/425 | | Blunt -349 || Maledictive -12 || Items 36/39 | | Magic -269 || Mental -26 || Prac 8 Train 0 | | || Breath -5 || RP 105 | | || || Gold 12K CP 721 | \-----------------\/--------------------\/--------------------------/ / You are in the prime of your health. \ | 9 more hours must pass before a cabal promotion. | | [KNIGHT] forces are aiding your healing. | \-------------------------------------------------------------------/ Lots of shout outs and lots of fun with a lot of different people on both characters. Thanks for the fun and you'll all prolly see a character of mine soon. Definitely a Skree direction though. I like the funnier/goofier RP I think. Keep it light. Anyways! Thanks for all the fun times! (Go get them rares!) Edited May 15, 2019 by Trick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egreir Posted May 15, 2019 Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 Catch ya on the flip side, glad you branched out with these and tried some new stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tassinvegeta Posted May 15, 2019 Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 Not sure I said they're weak but believe they aren't top tier anymore. Again just my opinion but this is most glaring when you're up against vet players playing the usual top combos. BLM in Kyousanken, Giant melees, Rangers, and certain vamps, crusader, and bard combos. Fairly sure things would've been much harder when these combos come around. Anywho I think anything played now isn't indicative of what's strong and weak though. Hardly anyone plays these days. And geez I thought scoresheets like that couldn't be achieved anymore? Phew mages must still have it rough. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget Tassin got DKNs buffed, cause they are "weak" too 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'tarako Posted May 15, 2019 Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 Sorry I bailed on the thane, we had some good groundwork for future rp. I think we both suffered from the same thing. Incredibly boring pk. Good luck with your next chars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PK and RP was just meh not only from my end, but from most others as well. Seviks was always top notch to interact with though, whether it was PK or RP. Sucks your fellow Pandemonium was just here to make the experience worse for others. I wish we would have had more fights on Kalurin, but the whole vendetta just didn't make any sense to me and it obviously didn't fit your needs either. That and a non-vuln LS ninja scares the crap outta me! Edited May 16, 2019 by Trick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
