A warning to the people are going to get bane..

[SoulFly Amarok]

Unless you can overcap your hits by 40 and con by 15, then you can use it without a worry in the world.

If you can't overcap those, then do not use it. Why? Here's why:

-when changing from bane&shield to flute or drum or whatever, you will lose the hitpoints granted by the constitution&hits on the weapon. That can't be countered by having those on the drum/flute/lute either.

I've spent **** loads of money on my minstrel without knowing about that you lose the hp like that, nowadays I know that that applies to power/char/pie/int or whatever your casting stat might be. (the power/hp being drained out from your power/hp pool that is)

-Slightly pissed off Soulfly retiring his minstrel, who thought she was cool now, with all stats capped...

To be honest, I think you're over-reacting :f

Yes, your hp will drop when you change the weapon - but it only drops once to the lower level. If you're already damaged to below the lower hp amount when you change the held item, you don't lose any further hits. And it's only 100ish hp - 1/10th of a savage swing

and dat is of sook.

if I have to use flute/lute/drum in full health, it will drop more than 100, sucks arse.

I.e get a jump on someone or chase.

 

[speshneeds]

dont really notice it tbh

Soulfly wants to be e-"1337", leave him alone. You two roleplaying newbs are just jealous!11!1one!1!1
And Roalith..shush fatty.

 

[speshneeds]

I don't think that losing 150ish hits or more is fun tbh. X_x

That's just one of the reasons.

The fact that I've bought a new pair of chain mp legs for her after selling a fully SC'd pair to the merchant (new pair took 99 retries but thanks to Nee, who didn't take any profit, the cost was only 7.5p) and getting her 4 other pieces of mp armor, a shield, bane, ageless essence gem, cured highlander skin cloak, shattered & reforged ring, Glacial Emerald Ring and doing the arawn quests is just enough for me..

Depending on how her armor will sell here on BW..she'll be back or not..

Anyway, this topic's not about me, it's a kind warning to you all who didn't know about this.

 

[old.Jeriraa]

If mincer is on the same hp table as the other rogues you get 3.3 hps per point con. Thats a total of 89hps you loose when you switch. (Toughness does not apply to item boni.) So you aint anywhere near loosing 150 hps.

 

[SoulFly Amarok]

When bane has 40 hits I sure am :e

 

[old.Jeriraa]

15con * 3.3 = 49.5 (game rounds down so 49) + 40hps = 89

 

[SoulFly Amarok]

I forgot to mention, that I have 10con my shield, so 25 con :<>

 

[Spamb0t]

still only 120 ;o

and what kinda strange person puts con on the shield ;D
same one as would be using bane i guess

 

[SoulFly Amarok]

I had no information about the points being drained.
Now I have a template with like 90 con and 244 hits w/o bane xD

I knew, I ditched and I don't regret it...

Imo nowdays getting descent armor :

1. Expensive
2. Waaay to hard to get all the crafters together...
3. Takes to long to get fun items, like glowers that fit in your sc.
4. There is no alternative... you have to use sc to basically survive rvr properly
5. Expensive...
6. It's expensive so it takes truckloads of farming, which is just dull...

ObMinstrelArmourNote: It isn't that hard.

99% template, for those who haven't seen it

 

[SoulFly Amarok]

You can cap everything with ease, if you use 8xSC'able items.

Bane restricts you to get 2 stats of it :X

Also Ahon.

 

[Harm]

Agree with Soul. Got same problem with my 1h hammer which has +40 hits.
