hello

[Drakin]

Just a quick hello, havin a great time in thidranki.

I have been readin this forum for a while now and watchin people whingin about various things. Evereythin people whinge about i love. Campin ck's keeps u in 1 spot so i dont have to run around at tortoise speed tryin to find peeps. /laugh spammin... just buzz of it even though i dont do it meself (well maybe once or twice). Being outnumbered, just makes it more of a challenge. And there is always a blue con caster left behind for me to bully, and if not the odd kamikaze run into 2fgs is always funny, especially when i get away.

/salute to all them infs/sbs who either beat me (not many) or came v v close.

/cry to the solo blue con casters. :-// plz find yerself a zerg for yer own safety

/cheer to the hunter (sorry cant remember name was female) who i just couldnt kill :-(

gl and gh

 

[Drakin]

/salute ghostdog

 

[SilverHood]

shade eh?

Never had to phear any of those

except maybe Ricki

Thurfir was good too, but only because he caught me at akward moments

Will be fun to see how you perfom against my RM, kaunline, and my SB (lvl 20 atm) Exponential

 

[Drakin]

unlike most people on these forums, i dont claim to be invincible. after a short period gettin used to my class though not found many of the same sort that are better tbh. ill hold me me hands up and admit when i get beat, ghostdog (24 inf) kicked my ass last night, but cant remember if i have beat him b4 or not. Ill fight anyone under any circumstances ( usually due to impatience i end up tryin to fight the zerker :-//). its not like i have to do the ligen-emain trek when i die.

excuse my ignorance of other classes but, them sb's with crap stealth, what ability do they sacrifice their stealth for? just wondered.

 

[Fafnir]

Zerks are fun, my gf played my shaman and i my zerk last night, ran into 5 albs at hb, zerk took out 4 of them and got the 5th down to 10% witch the shaman took care of. The last infil was smart doting the shaman so he was unable to heal, then kill the zerk. And there is a little luri ns, that always manage to kill my zerk, 3 times the same day, always arrives after a fight, or standing in my path as i swim either out of end no hamster mode, low on health, dam good timing of him

 

[SilverHood]

hehe, not sure whats up with th sb's atm

My brother had the highest stealth of all the sb's in thidranki last night... 5+5 at lvl 21

Most people don't spec stealth until they are lvl 24... gets them extra free points to use on other things

What about them who autotrain it to lvl 50

 

[SilverHood]

Those who that Faf, respec their stealth line at lvl 40

 

[sebulastrings]

Shadowblades can go two ways for Thidranki...

1)

- High CriticalStrike 21
- High Weaponskill 18+
- Med Stealth // Low envenom 18+ // 16
- Low Stealth // Med Envenom 16 // 18+

* I personally would go for the higher stealth as you will be needing the perf sometimes...altho garrote can do the trick vs. 'Shades and 'Trators.

2)

- High Axe 18+
- High Left Axe 21
- Med Stealth // Low Envenom 18 // 12
- Low Stealth // Med Envenom 16 // 14

* I personally would go for the higher Axe to drop the envenom abit. The Left Axe chain, which is based on Ravage // Atrophy // Scratching Blade, is just to good for Thidranki really... You have a huge +dmg when using the chain and instead of one big Axe you have two, which you can both obtain with a DoT/Disease or a snare to increase the dropping time.

You should really try taking on someone with the Shadowzerker way of speccing. Even if a 'Shade, Perfed me, i could still win it from him/her. And i once killed three 'trators before i got killed a by fourth, so that kinda gives you some information about them. Oh and the styles cost such little end.. thats why your Zerker and Shaman could last so long against the 5+ Albs, Fafnir

Cheers

 

[SilverHood]

not quite sebby

My SB spec:

21 LA
15 axe
14 (15 if I have enuff points) envenom
19 stealth
2cs

Gives you
High damage
High stealth
High envenom
High stealth
Bubble braker capabilities

 

[sebulastrings]

But your dmg variance will be shocking.. and I admit that the BS is always nice to have, but thats obvious when you have 3 points left after your spec or something in that direction. Ask Shadowzeerker.. she could take on 3 to 4 enemies with the spec i told you before.. ok she was twinked but still!

Your spec aint bad either but as a SZ you dont need the high stealth as every stealther will or die as soon as he attacks you..or wont attack you because he knows he wont make it.

Cheers

 

[SilverHood]

damage variance won't be that high after items have been applied.. with SC, +5 axe, +5 Left axe is quite easy to achieve
And high stealth is handy when spotting other stealthers... if you get the drop on them, they are dead, no matter what spec... surviving a PA can done, but I with high stealth I won't need to take chances.

I'm Norse as well, with a Base strenght of 80....
I got a lvl20 zerker (I'm lvl 20 too) to 5% in a duel... and he went into rat mode too

 

[Irgil]

well my spec works great in thid and i was out and tested it last night with my new SC gear and i must say it rocks and only cost me about 200g

my spec atm is:

21 +5 CS
17 +5 Stealth
20 +5 Axe
10 +5 Envenom
3 +5 Left Axe (then i can use the armour again for my SZ)

with my SC gear i got :

+35 Str
+36 Con
+36 Dex
+37 Qui

+5 in all skills and 12% Body, 11 % Matter, 10 Crush/Thrust/Slash


and btw /wave to the threadstarter

 

[sebulastrings]

Sorry but i'm out of daoc for like 3 weeks now.. i don't even know what SC means . I guess its really good because Irgina has +5 to all and +3x to all stats

But as long as you are satisfied with your spec its not for me to judge if you suck or not

Cheers

 

[Drakin]

/wave irgil

mudguts spec ( if yer interested or not, yer gettin em)

21 + 5 cs
18 + 5 pierce
19 + 5 stealth
2 + 5 celtic dual
10 + 5 pierce

dex 151
qui 132
str 94
con 84 (516 ish hp)

98% gaurded rapier
98% angled dagger thingy majig

still got 2 pieces of armour left to sc only con,hits and resists not capped yet.

apologies to the zerker last night, the /cry spam was coz i couldnt get there in time to kill the last of the 3 albs(gulp 3 solo well nearly anyway). was havin fun wiv ya but got tired.

so the lack of stealth is to up mellee dmg then, so im assumin thats a group based char, coz against an inf/shade they should beat u to pa everytime. why not role a real zerker?

 

[Drakin]

should read 10 + 5 envenom, not pierce.

 

[SilverHood]

well, im planning on either 23 or 24 stealth, not sure yet.
ShadowZerkers can be good in groups, but they excel hunting down infils, shades, rangers and scouts.

They can take down most classes solo. If you roll a real zerker, there's no get out of jail free card (stealth), and you don't get enveom either... snare and DoT are incredible weapons combined with the second hardest hitting class in midgard.

 

[Irgil]

Irgina capped in thid this friday only got 362 rp, then i got ld and when i logged in again i was in svasud again *cry*

so next bg char will be a SZ so watch out for my little kobbie lurking in the shadows in the future

 

[pincer]

Just started leveling my shadowblade that I had in BGs, name was Pincar, specced him:

21CS +5
18sword +5
18stealth +5
10envenom +5

Would advise any SB wanting to have fun in BGs to try this spec, 1 hit almost every caster I came across, 2hand PA was capping out at about 470ish, which aint bad for lvl 24

Used a spellcrafted suit which gave me capped hit points and stats, although requires a small amount of cash to get it done

Will make another one for BGs next time I'm bored of lvl 50 RvR

 

[Jamagei]

Just stumbled across this thread I'm Ghostdog (amoungst other chars)

Can't remember fighting you, but then I don't play very in Thid often, slowly capping him out in my spare time, not really one for assasins.

It's the death juice that did all the work

All I use btw is a player made suit (ranging from 94%-98%) not spell crafted, and some PC thrusters (99% & 98% qual) always ungrouped and unbuffed...

Must've just been lucky

 

[Jamagei]

Oh and my Spec is

CS 21+0
Stealth 19+5
Thrust 11+1
Envenom 20+0

 

[syran]

this time round i went for a briton slash infi specced as follows...

CS 21 +5
Slash 15 +5
Stealth 19 +5
Envenom 17+5
DW 1+some value

think i had a few points left over after that, cant remember what i put them in tho

seems to work well for me, a lot more fun than my old bg thrust infi

 

[Urgat Rip-Eye]

Hmmm...

Venym's Spec.

Axe - 21 (+4)
LA - 21 (+2)
Stealth - 17 (+5)
Venom - 7 (+1)
Crit - 2 (+1)

I am using DF Shadowblade armor (emerald seal stuff) and 2 Avernal Axes (Effective dps 7.6 each gives +2 to axe and +1 to LA)

TBH - i find my results in combat to be, on the whole, fairly varied.

Casters - I dont lose - even if i am QC stunned. I can normal recover and finish the job.

Tanks - I Rarely win, yet to beat a pally/Armsman/Hero one on one, came close a few times but no biscuit as yet - gonna keep trying though.

Archers - Havent lost a one on one yet.

Other Assasins. This is the one that varies the most - and as far as i can see, it is entirly situational. If i get the drop, and manage to open with my rear LA bleed style, then i tend to win. If i am Perfed, i tend to loose.

Although to be honest - it is rare i get to fight other assasins one on one (specialy infs - you guys always seemt to have a buddy around )


Oh yeah... Apologies tothe elf bard i tagged on the way out of the HPK. I couldn't resist, and i guess i woulda been mad if i had just ported and was killed 20 seconds later.
