Alexzandra H-elf Pal Tribunal vs Torbalan Wolf Ranger Watcher

Prepped for a fight against a mage perhaps. But a sub-par dressed monk would wreck you with those stats.

Save vs  Spell: -37  Affliction: -46  Malediction: -38  Mental: -29  Breath: -8

Is that a Ranger or a Warmaster?

That's 83 vs aff, 75 mal, 66 mental.

I would NEVER dress my melee like that. WTF are you fighting that you need so much saves and so little hit/dam? I'm not happy unless my hit/dam is in the 50s then I start working on other stuff.

I wouldn't even bother dressing a paladin like a melee given then only learn 4 weapons. 

Just dress like a cleric and pretend you are one, except you get dodge.

I've dressed my Paladin in heavy melee gear and it worked out for me. I've always felt that damage is the best counter to magic users. All that magic resistance won't help as much vs heavy melees. It seems you're only utilizing half your arsenal. I'm not sure if Torbalan was even in sanc most of the time. That's how little he respected the characters melee and spells.

This is an oversimplification, but I like to think of what I need AC wise on a 1:10 ratio.

Explained.

If I believe my opponent has +60 hit dam, I need -600 AC to block the melee damage. If my opponent is a c/c with +30, then I can go -300 to block the melee damage and bump saves accordingly.

Just a very simple way to consider if I am close to where I need to be.

Fun battle. Nice capture!

Hell - I dressed my cleric in 50 hit / dam - let alone a melee.

Mages can still win with the reductions.   It was unfair before when you did get the 900ac.   The parry really played a minor role.   The cap just made the stupid powerful mages more killable...that said, even with the caps, a mage that knows his class and has what I had will still be near unstoppable.   Other factors that people don't factor in are attrition, playing the timing game with ticks and dirt.  Having pure speed to chase and kite people around.   The gear just made mages stupid unkillable before in the right hands.   The tone was for the good IMO.   And by mages, I mean invokers because battlemages still suck.

Un-killable is a bit of an overstatement. Near unkillable maybe. But not unkillable.

He was killed by hubris :drinks:

Sadly I never got to fight zoichan at my peak.  :(.   But a perfectly played monk with his setup rapes invokers.

Happy to give you a rematch whenever. :D

Back to the log, ladies and gents...

Game on.

Wait, are you boasting about killing an invoker with an undead monk leader in trib? :P

Please, that's like boasting about winning a box match against a 13 year old girl.

Oh I'm happy to take an invoker on a non cabaled  half-elf monk. Makes no differences to me.  But Mali is right, it has nothing to do with the log so I'll refrain from continuing.  If you want to make a smack talk thread somewhere else I'm happy to play.
