What do i make for this place?

[~Mobius~]

I really want a char for Thid but i dont know what to make!

I want a stealther...but you know how everyones got one and all...

So what classes Alb or Mid,can stand up to a stealther?

I'll probably make a stealther, but any imput would be much appreciated.

 

[allnewdave]

SB: 21 Stealth, 21 Crit, 21 Weapon

 

[old.Flamin]

Na no need for so high stealth and Weapon. I would go 21cs 18stealth(autotrained) 12Sword 18 Env

Haha, no.

19 Stealth, 21 Crit, 19 Axe (Mourning Rage > ALL), rest Envenom. Easy in Midgard to get the first 3 to 24 atleast.

My matter cabalist was responsible for soloing a few hunters and shadowblades. Needed a bit of luck, particularly with the shadowblades, but did surprisingly well.

Unfortunately this game allows one hit kills which are -damn- frustrating for any cloth wearer, and most enjoyable for you stealther types I guess.

 

[old.tuppe]

hmm dunno other but mids side berserker is machine, whit big M.
wonder why there isnt so many of them?
whit Ibin, well, inf´s kill me so many time dont even count.
not so many 1 hit but copple hit and poison did rest of work.

but like we see, 2 fg albs, allmost sure there is close 2fg inf roaming around
now have seen more and more ns playing together, but sadly lack of other hibs so 1fg ns and rest hibs 0.1fg

Lvl 24 dark spec runey is fun

 

[old.chesnor]

Any class (almost) can be fun.

One thing though, whatever you do spec JUST for the battlegrounds. Like full matter cabby, full darkness runey, full cave shammy, high stealth assassin, full bow/stealth archer. If you try to spec a character sensibly for real PvE, by level24 you will be poor in Thidranki Try to concentrate on one spell/spec line and be good at it.

Exception are tanks really, who quite honestly suck in the bgs (i.e. playing one, and only from my personal experience). Most hybrids also look terrible to play, although Skalds and Champs caused my Infiltrator some major problems.

Some truth in that, I used respec to get 24 aoe dot for the battlegrounds. Levelled to 25 this evening and when I train I'll get back my pet reclaim etc to speed up levelling again.

if you want to play a stealther, then I can truly reccomend the ShadowZerker

21 Left axe, 18 stealth, 15 axe, 15 envenom

You don't need stealth to xp, pull with a throwing knife, can do yellows with relative ease. So you can autotrain until lvl 24, which should give you enough for 1 or 2 extra envenom points.

This is the infil fighter... so many of them these days, simply destealth them and they go down faster than a drunken essex girl. The combo to use: Ravager > Athropy> Scathing blade

Its truly evil, downed a lvl 20-22 scout with 3 hits once, infil went down in 4

You could drop a point of stealth, maybe 2 and go higher envenom.

With jewel of envenom (drops from spiders in vanern) and the Cave lurkers gauntlets, you will have +4 to envenom, which enables you to use that lvl 18 snare, and if you autotrained maybe the lvl 20 DoT too. If you have spare points, get the first CS style... handy for breaking bubble on casters.

 

[old.chesnor]

What Silverhood said.

Shadowzerkers are evil and nasty. Especially Norse ones, they are more eviler and nastier. Gah!!, how I hate shadowzerkers...

 

[old.Flamin]

I've a SZ. and it's Specced 21axe 21la 18stealth(Autotrained) 8env. works ace.

Must admit, I do feel sorry for SBs to a degree when compared to Infs, yes they do get nice styles in LA and do hit with both weapons but since this patch came in, Albion leather is now neutral to Midgard slash, so SBs dont get that extra bonus anymore and the fact that Infs get 2.5x per level is also a bit of a sore subject. Then again, Infs only have a possibility to hit with both weapons, compared to the SBs who always hit, unless that swing misses.

 

[old.chesnor]

No point going over the infil vs. SB vs. NS ground again. I used to think Infils were overpowered. Until I played one. I had played a critblade SB and shadowzerker before, and always though 2.5x made infils way overpowered.

Bottom line is Norse get more HP than infils, free 2h for crits and LA is superior to DW in every respect in Thidranki. If infils only had 2.2x they would get slaughtered by almost every non-gimped SB out there.

NS, now they are gimped.....

hehe, wasn't trying to walk the class comparison mine field, just giving my opinion was all. Another opinion of mine is, ALL assassin classes are over powered at high level, thanks god Mythic in their infinate wisdom decided to at least take out one-shot kills and assassins stay stealthed, now that was way over powered. While on this subject, I also think the thrust Infs "I Win" button, Dragonfang, should be nerfed a bit, maybe to either 6 seconds or maybe make it the end of a chain that works on an evade or something like that.

 

[old.chesnor]

Yes, 9s stun chaining off an evade is maybe too powerful in the hands of an infiltrator, but for a thrust merc with evade 1 it isn't. Just hope Mythic don't listen to the whiners and nerf that style...

 

[sebula_strings]

A long time ago i had a scout level 35... He was the first Alb in Caledonia and there i saw a CB that could onehit casters.
So we are sitting on the hill waiting for some mids to come forward, what happened is 3 casters of our group of 8 peeps just died, i could only see the shadow of those nasty CD's. I forgot his name but he was a real pain in the arse and he was out Thid so fast that they never even noticed him .

Another fun part of Caledonia is that you see alot more glowing swords that really kicks ass ( my opinion ). And with all the classes that get good things above 24 just are worthless in Thid, we have to level to 29 or 35 guys, Thidranki is just a newbie playground... And i think 29 isn't that much to ask from you lot..

Hope to see you there on the 1st of Decembre.
/em big wave

Cheers..

Good job theres no more oneshot-and-stay-stealthed kills anymore, all assassin classes will now unstealth regardless of whether they oneshot their victim or not, you have been warned

 

[Dook_Pug]

I'm in the middle of levelling my SZ for Thid now after discovering my SM was a lost cause.

Spec I'm aiming at is:

21 Left Axe
17 Axe
10 Crit
19 Stealth
2 Envenom

21 LA for the last style in the Ravager combo
17 Axe for less damage variance as I'll be using crafted weapons
10 Crit for BackStab II
19 Stealth for 24 with +5 from items
2 Envenom with +5 jewel for whatever.

I'm not too keen on Envenom so I'm not gonna bother with it much apart from snare and maybe a small DoT. Crit to pentrate those pesky BTs and BS2 has a small stun that'll come in handy.

Will be ready tomorrow night
