Brit Slash vs Sara Thrust Infili?

[Sade]

Just wondering what you lot think is the better of the two, having seen both have problems, and both being succesful in thidranki at the moment.

Most of the 50 infilis i have seen about (very rarely) are slash spec brits, just wondering if the targets (cloth,leather) were the difining factor i dont see that many thust/sara infilis in emain/thidranki?

What sort of starting stats would a good brit/slash/infili need at character creation?

Cheres for suggestions, off to thid to smite and rezz evereyone

It's Midgard, not Midguard #¤#)¤. Sorry, I couldn't help it.

I would personally go for the Saracen Thrust infiltrator. Mainly because Thrust got the best 50 spec style, and because of the fact grants bonus vs. chain. Sadly, though, Hibernia is completely neutral to thrust (no bonus/penalty).

It all comes down to how you play, really.

I think this argument leaned towards Thrust-infs because of Dragonfang, but if I'm not mistaken, Slash-infs seem to be making a comeback?

This is just from reading the VN boards.



I would say your infiltrator will do well, regardless of Thrust/Slash. If you go with Thrust, you will want to spec Thrust to 50, for Dragonfang. If you go for Slash, you have more options and can spec how you want.

Laromia, if i want to spell your awful home wrong i will do, but noted and corrected

Deleted my lvl10 thust/infili and made a brit/slash one instead, play style is much better and have a much better attitude towards it.

And yes, hell of alot of slash/infilis about now, think killing SB's NS's has more of an attraction

I went Briton/thrust!

Wanted the higher str a Brit got for the slightly higher damage, plus the toons look better

To be honest the race makes virtually no difference for an infi.

Slash will be good on other assassin types, the thrust for pissing off chain wearing, "NERF INFI" shouting middy tanks!

i would reroll as a briton given the chance...

Female britons look better then female saracens!

It's true.
Also saracen gets better damage with thrust than briton I think due to the higher dex, but tbh it makes little difference. I'd go for briton purely cos they are cool.

tbh iun, i think both saracens and briton girls look cute in their own way. highlander ladies can look attractive as well however, avalonian girls hmm well i wouldn't say no but not mah favourite!

Highlanders have the best hair...

Both have advantages. depends what you wanna do. Ill try to list some of em (and feel free to correct me)

-Slashers level faster.

-they have a higher damage output / swing dur to slower weapons, hence, bigger PA shots.

-Slash is viable at any level. This makes it good for BG. also, the wicked ammount of assassins that never make it beyond BG, makes it the sensible choice to go slash, if it is a pure BG char.



-Thrusters have Dragonfang. this style is wicked. it requires you to be lvl 50, and it requires that you down some of your other specs.

-Thrust has a wider range of targets, since Dragonfang makes up for quite alot.


disadvantages:

-slashers have a narrower line of targets, considering the heaps and heaps of chain users.

Thrusters basically suck all the way to 50.


Conclusion:

Its a matter of taste. If you like your look, style, whatever, go with it. Just remember, that its all about style.
