Hero: celt or firb

[old.Ozwin]

Was just interested in the opinions of anyone who has played a hero to a fairly high level , what makes a more effective hero if there is such a thing a celt or firb. Im going to check hib out on one of the us servers probably celt spear spec.

Thanks

firby have a higher dmg cap compared to the celt, but lower dex/qui, with other words firbolgs do more dmg while celts can take more dmg. the difference in dmg at lvl 50 is about 10+- dmg cap.

And oh, Celts look alot better.

And here we go again --

Matinex .. .. ..

First of all you should consider choosing a Champion, that way you don't have to have trouble deciding wether you should be Celt of Firbolg, becouse you can't be a Firbolg Hero

Hehe, just pulling your leg Matinex

What Matinex says is correct as far as I know, but when he says "take more dmg" he means that you will dodge more often becouse Celts have more Dexterity and therefore can prolly take more damage due to this fact. Firbolgs on the other hand has more Constitution and therefore more hp.

Constitution:

How healthy you are.
Constitution is the basis for the amount of hit points granted to any class.

Gorguss out --

utterly wrong - Celts and Firbolg both start with 60 Con, so you'll end up with exactly the same hp.
And as hps are your daily bread as a Hero it doesn't really matter which one you chose, as they got the same

 

[old.darkelf]

imo,firbolg r better ,they have low qui=more damage

 

[Novamir]

what matinex meant harle (i think) is that a celt has higher dex, therefore will block/parry more than a firb, therefore being able to take more dmg.

i would say if u want to spec max spear or LW choose firb every time, u will love that dmg cap

 

[old.Ozwin]

Thanks for the info guys. Think ill go with celt as im also planning a firbolg warden.


1 more thing, as im doing this on a us server do u think they r better off now or as 1.51 patch ie any nerfs?
Ive had a quik lok through some of the npatch notes but not seen anything really relevant to heros. Also do heros have the ability to range pull?

Thanks

U get the ability to use a short bow @ lev 15. The only real hero diffrences I can think of off hand are the fixes to parry in rvr which is broken atm. This effects all melee users tho, so unless ur planning on a high pary spec, can't see there being a whole lot of diffrence.

Nova:

i was referring to Gorguss, who said Firbys had higher con, which is wrong

I would never say anything against Matinex *polishes his potent deathwatcher chain*

Nova and Harle

BAH U 2!!

Polish all you want, i still got Heroic Burnished Shanshee Coif/Moonstruck Mire Hauberk/Glistening War Spear.

Harle

What was I thinking?? :b

I was meddling with some character on Prydwen Midgard and probably mixed it with the trolls which resembles Firbolgs - Another good reason not to choose Firbolg

Good luck on your choice.

Ah well...Firbys looks cool and celt looks gay xept the females here, cause I admit female firbys don't look to bright hehe

btw gorgy, Trolls also start with 60 con, it's dwarfs who start with more con, 80 i think

 

[old.Gorguss]

Yep, but Firbolgs are fat.

Dwarfs look really stupid.

Celts look gorgeous, I happen to know one of the prettiest ones Her name is Norsk but unfortunately she is a guy irl so the roleplaying bit gets a bit messed up lol But nice to look at though.

Female firbolgs .. don't get me started.
