New to Mid need advice

What does a thane have that a war doesnt? Crap nukes and ST? Dont bring this up, we might wake Trollums anger.

Exactly. A Thane can also help with the interrupt war in addition to being BG and grappler.

It's time for certain Mids to open their minds, they're far too used to look down on Thanes. ToA changed all that.

Bull!

Skalds can take Damage just as well as a zerker or any other class imo, due to the pure reason they can crowd controll and determine where the damage is coming from and who its coming from, usually using DD's to constantly intreupt casters and using mez with it also and using slow down on any inc tanks. Giving them the choice of battle!

So your saying skalds can takes just as much damage as a warrior can when you mention, as any other class can?

Thanes are not casters, they will allways lose interupt duel, and tbh with 2 healers and shammy you should have enough interupts imo. Would rather have the damage the war can give. Besides a war is a better BG'er due to his higher hp and testudo.

Howdi mate and welcome!

No the game is most certainly not dead! Well if you dont want to play a savage then you have 2 choices (which probably all here have told ya!

Berserk - A tank with heavy damage output but weaker defence capabilitys than a warrior. Great offencive extra powers. (banelord master levels)

Warrior - Great fun tank. Not as heavy damage output but huge defencive capabilities. Protects themselves with a shield and thief friends too. (Great defencive extra powers. (battlemaster master levels)

Id say troll is best race for the berserker due to the added damage output from their huge strength (but if a real playing serker says otherwise listen to them I dont know the class good enough.

With warriors you have a couple of choises. Kobolds have the highest and best blocking rate. (Which means you block alot). While Dwaves have the highest amount of hp. Personally Id choose a dwarf warrior coz of the HP but Kobolds used to be the most populair warriors in the old days so not sure which is better.

There you got some info mate! Good luck!

I rolled a troll warrior, and imo it blocks quite good - now I know it don't have not that much quickness - but if you plan you template correctly, I am sure you can fix that so it'll block better.

I personally have thane, supp sm, bd, shamy, warlock and I'd recommend if you are planning to run without a bb, to pick a warrior.

You can withstand loads of blows, and regen endurance without RAs far greater than a thane with same race. Thanes are great too (like posted here above), I myself made a thane as my first character.. but like pointed out - as a hybrid class they aint not good fighter nor caster. They do have nice insta DD thou and hammer of *doom* (means area of effect hammer spell, which does ok dmg with given radius).

So pick either thane or warrior. Maybe latter is better. and take heed what charm suggested as a race for warrior.

Hi guys. I recently took over my wifes bot account which has a 50 cleric on alb/excal. and I wish to start on Midgard prydwen (she wont let me delete her bot)

I want to play a tnak class and have a few questions:

I can start at level 20 she say somehow which will be cool but what class should I be playing?

I cant decide between them except I dont want to be a savage. What class should I pick??

Any help will be great?

Is it worth me playing or is the game dead??

They can deal with what is being given and last just as long as a warrior due to the fact they can deal and decide what damage is coming at them...

I disagree. Thanes have instas, and besides, you can never have too many interruptors.

Would rather have the damage the war can give. Besides a war is a better BG'er due to his higher hp and testudo.

That's your opinion. I have mine.
