For an Alb group to be FotM, the Mercs all have to be Thrust spec...

FC's 'usual' main group is currently 2 Slash Mercs and 1 Theu/Friar/Reaver/Arms/Necro/Wizard/2nd Minstrel... hardly FotM

alb rvr guilds must take pleasure in being gimped and die, and die, and die. and whine on bw.

 

[uglymug]

My 3 highest lvl chars are, a caveshammy, a hunter and a BD (!)

ooo i must be a FOTM player

 

[kinag]

You forgot your healer, which also is a fotm.

All Hib FOTM groups need an Animist

No, we just play the classes we enjoy playing rather than re-rolling because we want to wtfpwn everything in sight without having to actually have any skill.

At least we can learn and develop from playing different setups, and when we succeed it's down to us being skilled players of the classes we play rather than people playing a group setup that any 8 players taken at random from all the people who play DAoC on Excal could win with.

amen brother

:scared: did I say that :scared:

mumin the amnesia spam works good tbh :great:
just now you bring 1½ fg aswell? new mid fotm grps... 1.5 fgs..

 

[old.Emma]

Actually come to think of it.. any group which has an equal number of Det' tanks to support chars ie 3-4 of em can be considered Fodaot. Flavour of Dark Age of Tankalot imho.

 

[xplo]

Yes you am.

Cant say I have seen JH run with 3 savages much, is it just my imagination or do the 3rd savage tend to be a zerker for pf?

Used to see Poon but you also used to see Munin, followed by Sushii, followed by Locuz, or at least you did

 

[ab_fluid]

fink 3 savages is JH's fotm vs hib mage grps, 2 savages 1 warrior seems to work better vs hib tank grps, and tbh, who cares about albs on this server? the only decent grp that plays is BF and thats late at night

 

[hotrat]

The best setup in general for alb is not 3 merc 1 mins 1 pala 1 sorc 2 clerics imo, that group relies way too much on the sorc vs hib pbae groups, although it does rock vs mid fotm groups.
The best general alb group is more like 1 sorc, 2 clerics, 1 pala, 2 mercs and either:
2 mins or
1 mins and 1 reaver or possibly even a theurg, although pets die easily too pbae.

The trouble is albs need a different setup vs mid melee groups and hib pbae groups :/ but thats why I like 2 mins cus you get a 2nd SoS vs mid fotm's and also another person to spam ae mezz to interupt hib pbae.

BoB is kinda good aswell. usually running with 2 clerics, 3 mercs, 1 sorcs, 1 paladin and 1 minstrel. if not 3 mercs, they run with 2 minstrels for 2 SoS ^^

that is if they ain't screwing around with "try-out" caster groups

[poppamies]

wwll got yelled at on #cf RG fotm grp and bla bla, when we were running in a grp of 2 healers a shammy 2 thanes a skald bd and a warr.
Pll yell fotm grp as fast as tehy get killed by a grp from a enemy realm.

 

[Tyka]

Fotm is people who were rejected when they played their previous class, and now rolled one they can win with, even doing several mistakes.

Change class=change attitude.

Oh well.
