Im a lvl 24 reaver, from what i heard the reaver is supposed to be a high damage melee class. Im kinda missing the high damage part ..

I have 23 +2 flexible and 5 +1 slash from autotrain at lvl 24

What affects flexible damage ?
Take for example the whip, a flexible slashing weapon. I know slashing damage goes up with high dex and str. How is that for flexible ? And what about high slashing skill, does that affect the damage with a whip (flexible slashing weapon) too ?

Flex wpns are based on your Dex & Str regardless of the weapon dmg type.

You have two types of flex dmg: Slash & Crush.

The auto speccing in slash doesnt affect the wpn skill or the amount of dmg you do.

When people talk about 'High-Dmg' their typically refering too lvl50 characters - e.g. in the lower level's Savages are actually pretty crappy, its not 'till they hit the low 40's that they become the wtfpwnage machines you hear people bitching about so often.

With reavers I think the high-dmg is mostly to do with that proccing positional style (don't know its name and cba to look it up honestly - and here I am preeching about how uber it is Oh the irony :rolleyes: ).


So yeah, when you hear people going on about how uber class X is - always assume their talking about the class being lvl50... and fully SCed/TOAed... and with a buffbot..

Up to lvl 25 the soulrending line is more powerful then melee styles.

May be Flex does some more damage then other 1h-Lines, but it is still 1h.
Later you will do more damage, but the biggest part of it will be done by procs that are part of some styles:

18 Indigosnake -> Proc 'Reave Spirit'
25 Python -> Proc 'Reaver Curse'
44 Cobra -> Proc 'Reave Soul'
50 Leviathian -> Proc 'Reaver Soulrend'

Just a word of warning (gimped my reaver by missing this). If you're planning on taking it to 50 think you need to autotrain flex to lvl 44 or 48 in order to get slam, leviathon and decent tap.

Reavers do good damage, but it's nowhere near savage or pre-nerf zerker.

Yes, yes - And albion doesn't have insta CC, their End regan is effected by the status of their paladin and its unfair that both the primary buffs and primary heals are encompassed within a single class.

At the end of the day I think we can narrow the problem down to the fact that Mythic has some kind of personal grudge against you.

[00:28:50] You perform your Leviathian perfectly. (+74)
[00:28:50] You attack Damdam with your whip and hit for 155 (-55) damage!
[00:28:50] You hit Damdam for 13 extra damage!

This is without ToA stuff though, but ok damage for being a 3.0 spd weapon.

Better to show the normal ones than the uber ones, because they aren't that common, can't count on people having shit resists.
Now just need to get the ToA stuff done, wanna see the damage with higher ws and +4% spell damage. ;o

Against me? Why? I don't play reaver or albion. :-o

That'd be it then, the game's called Dark Age of Camelot for a reason you know. Quick, write a letter and appolgise before they send the Ninja-death squad after you ;)
