Keep lords

[greatred]

Does anyone know how it is possible for a keep lord to heal himself during combat? The scenario in question was a level 10 keep lord at 5% health, who slowly managed to build himself up to about 90% health by the time he killed our force. There was the named guard in the room at the time iirc. Has anyone noticed this behaviour before and can account for it? Also does disease counter it at all?

Keep Lords have been able to heal themselves for ages now (not sure when it was introduced or it's always been the case). I believe disease helps but not 100% certain.

its possible to interupt him.. but timing is critical.. and hard to do

i must admit, watching the lord beat 35 of you was quite surprising

yay for upgraded keeps

Yeah it was. Like I said, we got him to 5% then his health started jumping upwards, while our groups slowly died to the lord and high level guard aggro.

I think that Lord was probably buffed...

A lvl 10 lord cant beat 35 ppl unless he's buffed. And yes, keep Lord's tend to heal themselves when you cant get their health down fast enough.

I've taken lvl 10 lords with 7 ppl, and not optimized group at all - but he will always heal himself a couple of times on the way down. I've never seen him be able to heal himself above 30% or something tho..

Just buff him up, jump out of keep and hide somewhere.

[Fafnir]

Aye saw this happen in Beno a while back, you albs got thru the doors chased up, i got off 4 mjolnirs before the zerg took me out, then the lord took care rest of you while his hits went up, i had time to port back and run to the keep, was awesome to see. Cant wait for the new keep models.

Use amnesia or friar/paladin taunt, if its not resisted, it will always interupt, on a level 10 lord, it gets resisted more often than not though.

U can give a keep lord a weap if it is better then his own? COOL!

 

[ilum]

can you also give him a bow? will he drop the items when he die?

 

[Aoln]

Yeah u can give him a bow (and you can give the other guards weapons and the archers bows too)
but when they die they wont drop they disappear forever

 

[Balbor]

do they only take this weapon if its better than there own?

So you can give him a sword+bow, and you wont negate the first by adding the second?

 

[Aoln]

Not sure on that.

 

[[Oo]Escape]

Guards will take instruments aswell, we had some stading about with drums once

 

[del_eneste]

Yeah the lord can heal himself . Also before I gave the guards at a guild claimed kee a df polearm and some swords etc.
Guards with glowy weaps 4tehwin \o/
the keep lord had the molten magma sword thing from dartmoor

 

[Twaize]

What abouts getting the weap back before the lord dies? Is that possible?

 

[old.Vae]

Nope weapons given to guards can't be reclaimed.
