Noob to the Inf/melee class

[madferrit]

OK i am and have always been a caster type! and all this swinging a sharp piece of metal around is new to me, but hey thought id give it a go and see how much fun it is to stab something for a change

Ive decided to try an Inf (lvl 5), but i really am not too sure on what im doing with him. Ive read the boards and seen what to spec etc so im not going to ask about that (must be a first) but i do need to ask a couple of nooby questions please.

Firstly, when people talk about chains, does it mean literally, hit your first CS attack then the 2nd then 3rd etc to get a chain all in succession, or do them seperately?

Second how do you use an xbow properly?! All i ever get is you cannot use a ranged weapon in combat.. fair enough, but do i really have to unequip it out of my ranged slot each time i want to use it, then requip and create a shortcut in the hotbar to reuse it? (hope not)

3rdly Auto training, whilst i understand the concept, does putting a couple of points into say stealth then leaving it alone actually break the autotrain process (i.e. you should put anything into it at all until later levels?) or will you still auto train?


Sorry if these are a little 'basic' but a closed mouth doesnt get fed as my mother always says!

Thx in advance

Is there NO ONE who will even humour me with these?

I know they are a little 'silly' but i dont know any better atm.

Re. Chains - you assume correctly

Re. using your Xbow - see my post in this thread (about the 5th or 6th post) about using bows - its the same procedure: http://forums.barrysworld.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=21819

Re. autotraining - don't know

Good luck

Putting points in stealth ruins the autotraining, yes.

cant remember the formular for auto train, but it is something in the way of;

you auto train every 3rd level (not counting the first 5), unless your stealth is above some value (1/4 your level still not counting the first 5)

that means, you putting points in stealth, will slow it down, but not ruin it.


im pretty sure, i got it right

edit:
But with Battlegrounds, i dont think auto train is worth it. at all

Ahh ok thanks all (knew there were some good people on these boards )

Stealth autotrains every fourth level, so always keeping stealth at 1/4 of your level. So at level 8 stealth will autotrain to level 2, at level 12 stealth will train to level 3 and so on.

Re Stealth Auto training .

I've currently got a lvl 24 scout , now i tried to autotrain stealth , but by lvl 15 hadn't recieved a single increase in stealth .

I have an idea that an item i was wearing may have broken it ( crypt robbers bracer ) but not sure . Anyone got any ideas if items will stop auto-training from happening ?
