albion l33t stealth squad

[old.Trapp|Uberleech]

lol I must admit I got totally owned at that ambus at amg
I should have known though that cleric was standing there for 10 mins? crying take a shot at me hehe

Only thing that was bit lame was that the first 2 minstrels that got to me didn't kill me, but waited for nicolas winter and one more to do normal albion zerg.

Was fun though

[old.m0000]

yes it was lame but ur red to me so im hardly gonna solo u, and u mighta had that gay speedbuff of urs and run off

 

[old.LandShark]

ranger speedshout isn't all that amazing, since it can be broken with ANYTHING (especially for a minstrel - just use confuse if you've already popped your DD/stun shouts) and even at an absurdly high lvl of pathfinding spec, it's still slower than minstrel speed :>

 

[old.m0000]

i was under the impression that the ranger speed was uninterruptable - but could not be CAST in combat

 

[old.Moriaana]

I have had it interrupted by effects from mobs when not in combat. Most annoying

 

[censi]

the top lvl speed buff is as fast as anything in the game I think (may stand corrected on that though)

U get hit and its gone.

Usable anytime (10 min timer)

Most rangers have 2nd best speed buff.

one thing I notice is that all the Alb scouts seem to be identically specced, they all must have 42 shield. and around 45 bow. They just dump the rest in weap skill and 38ish stealth. Boring.

more variations for Rangers....

the Alb scout is has a slight advantage when fighting the hib ranger.....

Generally Archers dont get to shoot other stealth class to much in the usual Emain antics.... But you do frequently run into each other when wanadering around stealthed and thats when the old Shield stun comes into its own....

Rangers do make better RP farmers though, purly cause of the speed boost which allows you to attack large mob fringes and still escape/.

Mind you I have given up trying to compete with the big guns when it comes to RP. They are just online far to much.

 

[old.anubis]

top speed for rangers/hunters is 195%, for minstrels/skalds/bards it is 204%

 

[Tranquil-]

Ranger is stronger than Scout in melee, except slam.

Bowskill was intended to be:
Scout>Ranger>Hunter
Pure Melee:
Hunter>Ranger>Scout

Bow = 50
Shield = 42
Stealth = 35
Weapon = 18

Most common uber scout template.

why bow = 50

thats just a waste of points , since there is no damage differance bewtween 42 and 50 ( if there is a differance its very very small )

 

[Tranquil-]

There is a damage gain there.. not very large, but some people want it some don't.

Not sure if this is how it works though.. but if you have 50Bow you can have lower dex and still hit as hard as a guy with lower Bow and with insane dex, and the opposite, not 100% sure about this though. Hm, this made me wonder.

 

[Sharp Thing]

got this from a US buddy of mine:

This difference is refered to as damage variance.

At 2/3rds spec (34) you will do on average 75%-115% of your total damage.
Averaging a little below 100% of your total damage capabilities.

at 50 spec you'll do 100% - 150% of your total damage table on average.

Heres what overspecing LB does ...
Over speccing LB basically makes it so that you hit closer to that 150% mark
Though, it is deminshing returns for the amount of spec points it costs to go that high.

Everytime you increase your weapon Skill
such as .. slapping on two bowmaster bracers ... You'll increase your crit cap by 3-4 damage for each level gained in LB.

Having buffs won't increase your cap only bring you closer to the 150% damage mark

Having Strength relics won't increase your cap only bring you closer to 150%

Now ... Its obvious that More to LB helps but how much can I spec into LB without completly gimping my other areas?

and it explains the difference between 44lb and 50lb base

 

[old.Krusha]

A hunters speed shout is broken if the mob hits your pet that you (hopefully) leave behind to keep the mob from chasing you.. but since the pet can only be 80% of the hunters lvl .. well you get the picture.. so the mob hits the pet once on the way past it and bonggggg your out of speed and prolly end (or why should you run since hunters do über dmg with the spear and has a ton of hp and phat armor )

 

[gwari]

ehh, mids zerg all the time. Whining about another realm zerging, mids zerg until albs zerg, and then mids zerg again. And if mids or albs aint zerging at some point, hibs are. BLEH.

Gwari, lvl 50 BLeh.

Well, in reality hunters are weakest in melee too. Even though our spear might sting a bit, its too slow. Our defence is worse then poor. We only have the mighty evade 1. Everytime you see a hunter backflip, take a screenshot because its a rare event.

 

[old.Atrox]

Attle well you hunters will get back alittle bit of BeastCraft line, the AF buff will affect your AF above 595, and you will get Evade3, was supposed to have it in 1.51 but they only gave you Evade2.

Quite funny when you compair the 3 Archers Defence/close combat abilitys;
Scout; Evade3, shield, Shield spec = Engage and Slam
Have quite fast attacks aswell so an enemy Evade arent that bad
Ranger; Evade3, Speedbuff, Selfbuffs ( Dex/qui, af, Dmg add, Str ) ability to use shield,
Quick attacks, and best melee of all the archers ( depends on spec )
Hunter:Evade1, Speedbuff, Selfbuffs ( Dex/qui, AF ), Pet( 80% of Clvl), Pet buff( Str/con )
Gets Spears, Good styles( lvl39, stun whenattack from behind ), Slow attack speed so an enemy evade are bad.

So in melee I belive it is:
Rangers(specced for it)
Scouts ( every scout have slam )
Hunters

That is the most common outcome from a 1on1 fight, if the Scout lands the Slam and dont fumble the bow afterwards

 

[old.LandShark]

but hunters can be dwarves and have uuber hitpoints!
or something!

 

[old.Atrox]

tbh Dwarf hunters HP arent that great, I had 1250 with epic armor
I could get it to 1304 b4 I capped my +hp, thats about 250 - 300 more hp then cobies I think
still I lost big time vs Rangers, I killed scouts unless they manage to land there slam.

 

[old.LandShark]

i wasn't serious fs

 

[old.Akirai]

Everyone kills scouts unless we land our slam if we do though then its 2 pb arrows in ya head and basically game over
