Necro exp going nicely towards 50 , so its time to decide on a main char.
Narrowed it down to 2 categories , 4 choices.

Shar Ranger 40 bow , 34 pierce , 36 stealth , 36pf , 21cd.

Norse Hunter 45 bow , 39 Spear , 35 Stealth , 32 Bc

Luri Champ 44 Pierce , 42 Shield , 42 Valor , 18 Parry

Saracen Reaver 50 Flex , 42 Shield , 36 Sr , 16 Parry

Which would be most fun to play and able to cope with most situations?
Luri champ looks uber fun if plvl'd up a bit to smooth out initial stat losses.
Interupts vs Casters is essential hence no thought of Warrior / Merc , will be unbuffed while PvP'ing , can use for Necro PvE.

Reavers will own everything until 1.71. Then they are just 'ok', since people actually can see TWF and run away from it. And its not stackable anymore.

If you dont have any friends, make a Shar Ranger.

If you do, I'd make a Celt/Shar Champion, 50 LW, 50 Valor, 28 Parry. Champions will destroy stuff in NF. They already do, just that people prefer fast-hitting dual-wielding det tanks :p

Reaver should easily kill any assasin even at low level (mine can at 26) and the side style with proc is kinda nasty :D

Assasins are never a problem if the Reaver is SCd - Casters on the other hand, well, just hope you see them first and you are able to get your "Soul DoT" spell off.

If you're going to make a Champ, do it right...

Elf Champ and have 42 Sheild 39 Blunt 50 Valor 6 Parry

And if you're going for a Reaver make is a Briton Reaver, and like Bahumat said, dont bother with parry, go 42 Sheild 50 Flex Rest Soul Rending

But out of those two, do champ if u have friends to grp with, go reaver if u plan to solo alot.

The LT will let you last that little bit longer.

Assasins arent a problem full stop. Engage... block... use the when you blok flex style, go do side style, by this time they are on 1/3rd hp and beggin for a quick death.

And even if caster does get 1st hit... u face, use dot, then run towards them, by this time they are QCing, as the QC u LT them and u made ur lfie bak on the spell they about to cast on u in QC, if they turn and run then u get them with ur ranged behind style, no runnin from a reaver ;)

Just make sure at a low lvl u go full flex, a good amount in sheild and not so much in SR.

reaver, its the least gimped spec of them.

and those telling him to put points into SR - take a look at reaver spell lists and look how many spells he gains going 36 - 39 SR.
0.

If you get a necro to plvl your char, imo you will level a reaver with autotrain.

50 flex, 42 shield, 41 Soulrending, 6 Parry (41 soulrending = Lifetap 106 D 80% life back ) rly nice ;)


Btw, about the Elf champ, blunt spec ..... dont do that, if you make elf champ make it trust spec, because blunt works with str, and being elf u'll block nice but hit like a gurl, just my opinion.


If you go for a ranger, do same as reaver, autotrain it and make 50 bow, 33 stealth, 39 piercing, 21 CD, 20 PF or 50 bow, 33 stealth 34 piercing, 29 PF 19 CD.


as i said before is just my opinion.

On topic: S/S champs are pretty pointless here. Make a reaver if you want to play with slam.

(Luri champs 50LW 50Valor 27Parry 10Shield 4tw :))

No they ain't

Being a Sheild Champ is like Being a S/S class but with buffs!

Except its the other way around.

You debuff ur opponent to piss, they cant hit ya, cos of their crap WS and u stand there and just pummel them to death :D
Plus with the amount u will block u can get the 4 move block chain in blunt off over... and over... and over... and over... :D

A few words...

No weapon skill...

Champs dont do well with Aniahlation as they dont spec nowt into blades/blunt.

I got a 50 Hero on rvr and i hit for like 100 more than a champ.

Plus, u get behind someone when you are in a 1vs1 situation with 50 LW 50 Valor...

My Hero does but cos I got brutalize.

Good luk, in getting behind btw ;)

I'm talking about playing without lag abusing... Nice to know where you stand on the matter though.

you can snare and starfe round faster than them but they spin the other way so you just look like a couple of prats dancing

Snare is movement speed, not turning speed you prat ;)

There is nothing oyu can do not even str debuff to encumber them will slow down how fast he face you.

Fact of the matter is this, you need a from style stun to get to side/behind unless you plan on being a cheating bug abusing arsehole. That or come across someone running away, in a fight or afk, any othertime they will /face or /stick.
