Well, reavers really want a couple more relics to get some actually good damage. A photo of a levi when we had 4 or 5 relics (can't remember exactly):

http://www.hb-eu.com/daoc/modules.php?name=coppermine&file=displayimage&album=lastup&cat=10029&pos=1


And:

1) Resist piercing actually works for the proc.
2) If reaver was a mid or a hib class it would be much better, especially pre NF with 3+ de-mezzers in mid or 2xGP in hib
3) And pbaoe chants was best thing in reaver but no one ever realised. You could keep most of fg interrupted utilizing pbaoe chants and shouts.
4) You will be surprised of the people actually running away and thus making themselves easy targets of behind styles. It's not always possible for them to realise that among the train there is a reaver too.
5) There isn't another combination of back styles like levi/asp tbh.
6) Mercs and light tanks of other realms are quite good in damage and, personally, I think the timer of Charge 3 is a bit over the top...


Edit: Oh yeah, and on topic: Nerf warlocks! :D

Warlocks are overpowered, died within 5 seconds of meeting one on my animist, even in 1.75 they are insanely overpowered even with nerf. yeh QQ more.

Reavers are boring, get over it and roll to hib/pry or something :p

Nerf warlocks! and nerf them NOW!

but like others have said you under estimate the power of the levi vf! :D but yes our dmg hits the fan when we're not behind you
We make the mercs hit harder with abs debuff and with BS and battler BGs and other annoying stuff drops fast, but then its the grp and players who win fights :)

So your caster died to another caster in 5 secs...sounds really weird, I doubt any other caster would kill you that fast :rolleyes:

They need a nerf tho, but not because they can kill an animist in 5 secs.

DI will go off unless your oneshotted by their bolt (which if you have low matter and no resistbuffs and the warlock is toa'd you will be)

Since I seem to be one of the few that has actually leveled a warlock normally, I thought I'd share some of my experiences;

First of all, im just lvl33 so far, so I haven't tried em much in real rvr, just a few runs in bg1. From what I can tell so far tho, they are definitely a nice class to play as long as the fights dont last too long. Standing within 1500 units casting a spell for 4 seconds is hard to accomplish, easily interrupted, but thats what the chambers are for, as well as uninterruptable casts.

Just to be absolutely clear tho, we don't have quickcast, which means our only way of being 100% sure of getting a spell cast is by uninterruptable (costs around 35% i think with the 43 hex 30 wc specc). Not saying this is unfair or anything, I think it is as it should be.

Also, you can only use primers to cast secondary spells, which means that you can't cast uninterruptable dd's, bolts, chambers, single heals and so on, but lifetap, pb, spreadheal, nearsight, dot and snare.

When it comes to leveling one, they remind me a bit of the necroconcept of going on and on without going oop. Chambers dont cost anything to prepare ot cast, which means you can go powless+lt then fire off a dd/lt chamber and another powless lt to take down blues and most yellows without wasting pow. We gain a pow regen (equivalent to pom5) in hex as well that is a secondary cast lasting 1 minute, so you dont really have to go powerless.

One thing i noticed as well is that you can cast a primer, then move around and then cast the secondary as an instant. ie you can cast powerless (10 sec duration) while in cover, then run out and instalifetap then run back to cover again. Think this is gonna be fixed in some patch tho :(

Think that's about it for now, hope the info is of use
