Most stupid question ever asked

[Mundokar]

I want to open a contest about the most stupid question ever asked in DAOC :

I'll open the contest. Last night i entered Spindel with my lvl 40 runecarving specced runie. I try to get a group with some warriors somewhat above my lvl (42,43-ish)

The groupleaders asks ...... here it comes.....

Do you do any damage ?


I left after that question

 

[matax]

Oh dear ! RUN AWAY !

Thats actually not such a stupid question. Any decent size group should want to be killing reds/purples to the highest member (ideally). So what they might have meant was "Will you do any damage to these mobs, as they are very purple to you at 40".

Runeys generally find grouping easy because of pbt, but having your runey as the lowest lvl in group will mean he will struggle to dmg the mobs very much (low dmg and lots of resists).

Dumbest thing I ever got asked was "can i have 300g for our guild emblem plz"...Yeah right.

I had that question many times in the BETA. Quite frequent still

Chesnor for your information

Cave trows con red to me. I'm specced in Runecaring THE damage spellline of runemasters. It was a group of 3.

So yes i can do a hell of a lot of damage to the highest level mobs in spindel. Most of the time the warriors have to put protect on me instead of the healer because of the amount of damage i do

Second in an all warrior group PBT eliminates about 2/3 of the downtime because of hits that are negated. A lot of players seem to forget that.

I cant count the number of times i grouped and got the remark that pulling was SO much faster

PS did you give the money ?

btw, RC nuke sucks badly (supp and dark are much better for less mana), and you cannot use bolts in exp

 

[old.chesnor]

Mundokar, for your information :-

The Darkness line is the biggest dmg dealing RM line. The DDs with the cold/debuffs hit harder than everything from RC. RC is only really useful for the bolts, which are not much use in PvE groups.

Also, the point I was making was that to hit chance on spells is purely level based. Your skill in a line doesn't matter, you might hit trows well (possible weak against cold) but I wouldn't recommend any group takes a lvl40 rm nuking in Spind, because if he dies, the pbt drops which makes things 10x harder for everyone else.

Heres a new one for you then :-

lvl 40 RM : "Hi guys, want me to nuke?"
group : "No mate, just run pulsing pbt and go afk if you want"

j/k

"why you running?"

[Mundokar]

Point taken chesnor Was thinking about the overall damage i do against all type of monsters (&players )

I sat behind my keyboard rereading the line in question over-and-over not believing what i read A lot of ppl seem to be unaware of what other classes are able to do. The focus is on the warrior/healer combo and thats such a waste of resources.

fyi, darkness is THE damage spell line for runemasters, since its the DDs that matters not the bolts... the darkness dd's are alot better than RC dd, espcially if u spec 100%

As a healer i hear this question alot

even from power n00bs

Can u rezz ?

 

[old.Marabeth]

I played Albion for a long time, and the way most PVE groups were structured were around the tanks holding aggro, and the nuker/s actually doing most of the damage.

Why is it that in Midguard the nukers are totally undervalued. A good nuker should totally outdamage a tank and significantly lower downtime (especially pbaoe nukers). I haven't played a nuker here, but do they suck or something?

 

[old.chesnor]

The reason we dont make nuker groups is because we only have 2 casters. One of them is the Spiritmaster, which until they get PBAOE barely anyone plays. Runemasters nuke well, but they are the only Midgard class to get pulsing pbt. This is more important to a group than their nuking ability. Also, Midgard has 4 non-gimped tanks (for PvE at least). All of which can use 2h weapons. Get a few Middy trolls with 2h hammers (or a zerker with dual wield) battering down on a mob in PvE, and you really dont need nukers Its not that anyone undervalue runemasters, they are one of the best casters in the game, but with strong Healers (1 healer can keep a whole group alive with ease) who generate alot of aggro, the tanks should keep the healer protected as much as possible. Alot of Alb groups may have 2 or 3 healers sharing the healing, Hib get it even better with 4 classes that can heal.

Another funny question I hear lots around the forge "Where can I buy bronze studs?"

Also, Midgard has 4 non-gimped tanks

I wouldnt say Zerkers and Skalds are good tanks...
what makes a Tank good is the ability to take loads of dmg and hold agro,
Zerkers = Studded, wont tank much dmg
Skalds = Low hp and no shield spec

Nor is the Warrior 0dmg output compared to other tanks... in RvR atleast, but god in PvE, as MC hammer said.. cant touch this

 

[AbPoon]

Youll probley find a decent specced zerker can deal with aggro much better then a large wep warrior, true a s&s warrior will take it better but then who wants 2 play a tank that hits like a girl?

Boost your dex high and see the evade and parry in action, imo evade 3 is a damm slight more handy then an extra 8% absorb on armour, more so when advanced evade gets added as you cant block an attack from behind but a zerker can evade it.


P.S ahh just had a though, doesnt 2 weps or 2 handed weps give you 2 Parry rolls? cant remember but if so thats another zerker plus

P.P.S dont flame meh i'm having my say on matters not after a "MY CLASS IS BETTER THEN YOUR CLASS !!!" thread flame .

Goal of a tank is to handle the agro and receive damage. Goal of casters is to kill the mob.

I admit that thanks to the hardhitting styles a zerker is better at handling agro but taking both in to account the (my) warrior wins.

Parry, shield and evade, protect for the healer and guard for 2nd or 1st tank. And the few times i do get hit i got more HP and better absorption to save on healer mana. Taunt style takes care of my "girlish hitting" for agro. And those 10-40 points you do more damage don't really do much compared to the damage a caster does.

 

[old.Krusha]

True jimli =) was down in DF and farmed seals fore my alt, only time i got hit more than once was when 3 attacked me (only have a medium shield). And with provoke i always have the aggro (unless theres a2nd guy using provoke, then it switches between him and me =))

 

[AbPoon]

Ye i'll give you that jim m8 thinking about it

Also is there a bonus block chance on large sheild?

 

[old.Krusha]

small shield= block 1 attacker
medium shield = block 2 attacker
and large = 3 attackers..

But with high parry its not that big of a difference... Warriors are defence masters.. to bad it doesnt work in RvR.. then we could actually be of any use, tho 9 out of 10 deaths in RvR is from casters... so the block/parry thing is pointless really

I got a RC specced rm and I do just the same amount of damage than a darkness specced rm in a group thanks very much. We got the sigil line that is chain castable and does the roughly the same amount of damage than the darkness line.

If you have trouble getting a group try and play a hunter. I have been in groups with my rm and the group has turned down stealth classes in Midgard as they belive they do not do any damage in PvE. Even had one tank say he would leave the group if the group leader took on a stealther.
Just seems odd to me that many people think this as with my hunter I can take agro from all the tanks in Midgard appart from a zerker that is the same level as me, if I am feeling suicidal that is. So I stick with lancer and the bleed style styles for the spear and rack up the damage without taking agro.


Now I am at levl 40 with my hunter I can understand why alot of stealthers get bitter when going for RvR and they get thet tanks that turned them down in PvE to get lost when they are asked to join a group with them. For me in RvR I will only group with guild members and people that I have grouped with in the past when I hit RvR other than that the other players can go and spin.

 

[old.Krusha]

Yeah Olgark, ive never turned down a sb/hunter because they were stealthers. Both of them can steal the aggro from me .. (no problem with my hunter to do it anyway.. IF i want to that is)

and the sad part is that when it comes to keep taking or scouting they all scream for highlvl sb/hunters .. well if they are forced to solo to 50 (i know theyre not.. but around 30-40 it sure feels like it) .. its all a contradiction in terms.. Like military intelligence...
