can recurve bows be upgraded to fire cannon balls?

I know i will use that on my hunter ;)

not using `dirty tricks` with stealthers is like trying to sink a battleship with a submarine but not doing it from underwater with torpedoes but by comming to lay next to it and board it.

A bleeding/poison/disease/AF debuff arrow would be a good start, not sure what new spells/styles the bow line got, didn't had time/patience to check. Was just an idea, can't back up it cause of my lack of knowledge on the subject atm.

You can go toe to toe with heavy tanks, at least on sb. Just need to be really focus and have a template that back you up with every tool up.
But there is some players you can't just kill, and you have to accept that.
More than the class, it's the player behind it that makes the diference.

from what i recall
mercs get 6.321 hp per con
arms get 6.27 hp per con
pallys get 5.28hp per con

ie highlander merc with +10 in con at creation with have
95 con at 50
101con from template
155 from buffs

351 total
351 x 6.321 = 2218.671 round it up
2219hp from con
400 hp template
440 for cl10

thats 3059hp before any RAs
with toughness 5 and aug con 5 it would hit 3709hp is possible

not sure about other realms but 3200 is easy to get now

My armsman got around 3330 hits with cleric buffs and around 940-50 af. With crush spec I hit shades for 1000 dmg nonestop kinda. Make a heavy tank / valk censi stealthers are pointless Rp fodder.

I mean armsmen even got a 30s snare follow up from defenders rage, that means they can run away from you, use health pot, fa2 and heal with cl heals for about 600 hits then engage you again...

Instant engage occurs on US all the time, slam dr dr dr dr and then egage and w8 for slam timer~~;;

how is one supposed to kill one of these beasts in melee bearing in mind you gonna get potentially 75% of things blocked and a fair old whack parried and when you do hit your looking at sub 100 damage from the AF.

ontop of that warguard, battler, ip, rr5's etc....

Is it still possible for an ekkle sneak to kill a proper capped out heavy tank?

well sneak yes, envenom an evade rate still very strong v 2 handed
ranger :< no

my rr4 hero on us is only cl5 an has 3300 hp an 690 af with NO spec af buff stuck on that moose mode (50% hp increase) and ip 2 ive got 6600 hp to chew through

in all fairness tho sneaks shouldnt be able to kill heavy tanks like wise casters shouldnt be able to kill stealthers, or anything once in melee. moc lifetap is ridiculas


woot caster whine yaaay

Fair enough. You won`t hear me say moc/lifetap ain`t OP. not all casters have it though. and some casters are ment to move in mellee range. i don`t think a mellee stealher is suposed to win most of the time vs a moccing pbaoe caster if he doesn`t manage to land pa-cd.

forget fair and even... like i say I it should be in favour of the tank :)

what im thinking is that if a heavy tank is kind of in that 900+af catagory and say 3500. Then no matter what I do I cant win... im kinding suspect this is the case.

Technically, since the CL hit point boosts, it would be possible to get 4,000 + hit points with stacked sceptre/sok buffs running, and still have well over 900 AF with afore-mentioned buffs. My first ToA template was based around this principle back in old frontiers when toa was first released.

However that doesn't necessarily mean it will be a good template, to get all that you'd need to sacrifice a heck of alot elsewhere to make up for it, hence why I changed.

Would also mean missing out on battler and having to use sok, which again dramtically decreases offense (till battler nerf at least).

I miss old frontiers :( 1130 AF with old skool soldiers barricade was fun :england:
