Certifiable and LA?

As some of you know i have played a lot of sbs in Thid - far too many infact! But had to try out LA. Well to be honest am really thinking of sticking with it. Reasons? Well spent a few days in Thid and only been perfed about 2 times due to my 24 in stealth and no need to line up la attack. One of them times was when i thought we had an alliance with Hibs and i allowed the ++++ to hit me! Other time was against Grimily - slash inf - and fair play he reacted very quickly and got the perf in. Have been perfed whilst fighting - well hard sometimes to stop that.

Since my time in Thid - nearly capped now - have fought all sorts of buffed infs and been very succesful. Only lost a few fights. Again, against some very tough buffed ns's i have done well - far better than i would have if using crit! Loxley or Loxey - buffed ns gave me a hell of a fight and i evaded the last strike and defeated him or her - then i promptly died from poison!

LA is damn hard to use and to play - expect to die lots. Reason being each fight is protracted and you are vulnerable and out in the open for far longer. Don't play la if you can't handle dieing lots!

Another thing - you do seemingly low damage but you do it fast - very fast infact - and if you get debuffed damage does not drop that much at Thid level. I won fights against buffed slash infs when my str dropped 40-50 points (off my 212 buffed str)! The damage output in melee seems to be lot higher than when using garote etc.

Anyways i thought to put this in cos if you get fed up of using crit then have a go with la. With realm abilities - dual reflexes etc - damage can be increased considerably.

Overall, i think la needs it's damage increased 10-15% because if you go this way you expect to be able to melee fast and hard to make up for the lack of crit attacks!

Level 50?

Not sure i ever will - been playing for about 2 years and highest i got is a 41 BD. Gotta crit SB at 35 though. I get fed up big time levelling and don't seem to have the staying power!

Well!

Just goes to show that things are not balanced. Ns and Sbs seem to be but infs are on another planet! You gonna be nerfed at some time - you have to be to bring you inline! I been playing Sbs constantly for ages - have tried everything - i really don't think anymore can be done to increase damage at Thid level. I do win against buffed slash infs - never lost against Vac for instance but have come across buffed infs that are new to the game and found them incredibly tough.

And the comments i get after posting? - 'yeah well Thid is nothing like being level 50 mate - you gonna get annihilated'? Mmm - well could very well be the case - and wot then?

Try creating an SB is all i can say - i think you will have a real shock how hard it is to create a good one as opposed to an inf.

I came from Albion after deleting my account - which included a level 47 scout who i thought was brilliant - why? Well tis so damn easy in Albion - Mid is far far harder. Laugh? - Well just try it is all i can say!

Well I agree that left axe is nerfed a bit too much, that sb probably need something compared to infils but when you say that alb is easy mode and mid is far harder, than you are completely wrong mate. Midgard has still the best classes in game, like the healer/savage/bonedancer etc. But I think the problem is that you dont have a lvl 50 yet, so you dont know how things are going in real rvr. You are judging from your views that you got playing your char in thid, and believe me mate there is a huge difference between real rvr and thidranki. What I saw from todays great battles in thid is that albs>mids>hibs (hibs get owned by mids all the time, but albs manage to beat the mids etc.). But in real rvr I think its more like mid>hib/alb. Hoped for a solo fight with you today but was a bit unlucky I think :)

Oh and /who thid showed always around 16 albs in thid, luckily there wasnt a big alb zerg in thid today what made thidranki much more fun :). The 2 fg hibs that was roaming around made the action also better of course, it was really great :)

Level 50?

Yeah, but will i ever get there? - godknows - seems such a slog to me somehow - even with a buffbot.

Anyways - have played Thid so much it sure is time to move on so will try my hardest to get a few alts to 50. Though must admit being a level 50 SB the way things are at moment doesn't really appeal. Dragonfang seems way overpowered and more than likely slash infs hit like a ton of bricks. Only so much i can do to offset all this - too much and i will have to call it a day.

Just 6 points off capping again now - though had a great time with Dracun tonight and we gave mpk camping albs a real kicking - hehe.

If it is your first level 50, why not try a more group helpful char. SBs at the moment are shockingly bad compared to infils at 50, hell I took my infil emain the other day using 46MOA2 buffbot and pretty much to a degree I could mess up every style or even spam garotte/Achillies Heal and win against SBs. If the only char you ever want is a stealthing class then yea it will be long and painful to 50, but since i kinda retired my infil I notice that playing in a decent grp is much more fun than stealthing and getting jumped by stealth zergs here an there.

Just my thoughts,

SBs shockinglingly bad at 50?

Yeah - well tis the blasted challenge innit! Took me ages to sort out BG1 - and i have kinda managed it even though us Sbs are so badly nerfed. Well lets face it we are! But from my observations i don't think the real problem lies with the way Infs are specced at Thid level but the buffs they are getting. The real problem i think lies with the af buffs which reduce our damage so much. Ok the debuff poison harms us greatly but my sbs had 212 str so even if i got debuffed my str never dropped below 170!

Anyways - no good telling me SBs are useless at level 50 cos i will try and try again to see if i can compete at that level; and what i have seen so far after being killed in Darkness a few times don't really upset me too much. I reckon i can give a good account of myself later on, and infact am looking forward to it - being level 50 and playing with the big boys that is - hehe.

Get your inf out of cold storage when i get near 50 if you want and see if your garote/achillies works on him - hehe. First one will be Certifiable - la user!
