ForumRvR ask me anything

Thanks for the answer.
So is troll kinda the best choice, because you can possibly switch between 2h and h2h. But im also kinda worried about the low qui of a troll in a classic scenario. Is this a problem ? |

just run 4+ healer setups and you will have celerity up all the time

Trip and Grapple are useless since they're effected by Determination and give root immunity. I'd get Dualist Reflexes over them instead.

[3:10pm] <myrmidon^> that's what I learnt [3:11pm] <Frosty_> then why does austerim suck

Your stats don't matter.kobi h2h is best choice by far. Much harder to tagets. That is much better than beeing a troll everyone sees from 5miles rushing to the caster. Kobi pops up right in front of the caster 1shotjng him |

Best race for my Merc? I'll be going Slash (42 shield) and most likely won't split-spec but want it as an option at high rr. I'm thinking Highlander ;o
Also, RA's? RR10 is the cap in 1.65 or RR10L9? Lord/Lady (R10 L3) Total Points: 93 Unused Points: 0 (2) Augmented Dexterity +12 dex (4) Mastery of Pain +20 % chance of critical hit (2) Mastery of Parrying +6 % chance to parry (4) Dualist's Reflexes +12 % dual wield chance/dual wield damage (1) Long Wind ? (2) Avoidance of Magic +6 % to all magic resists (5) Determination -75 % mez/stun/root duration (1) Purge Dispel Negative Effects, 30min timer (1) Prevent Flight 35% chance to 50% snare for 10secs The above is what I have planned if it goes go beyond RR10L0, priority being Det 5 > LW1 > PF > Parry (+- cap's my parry) > undecided on rest |

Low Qui is not a problem because you've got self celerity at all times, however the size of a small Kobold is a huge bonus, aswell as better evasion/parry rates than troll. I would stick to kobold since 2h is only superior to h2h on very rare occasions. For starting points go 15str 10dex or 10 str/dex/con. You don't really need quickness since it's very easy to cap swingspeed on a savage. |

Highlander is the best race for Merc unless you go full thrust, but I personally don't think that is any good. As for the Ra priority Lw1->Det4->Purge(because it's just 4 points)->Det5->PF after these basics you want to go Dex2,Mopain2,Parry 1-2,Str2,Aom2,Dualist reflexes2 (priority is personal preference here) The reason you want to get lvl 2's first is that all of the percentage based ras give the same values but are increasing in costs About the RR cap I think you could get to rank 11 or 10l9 but would not get any points above 10L0 and if you'd reach rank 11 your rr title to enemies would be Invader again - but I'm not entirely sure about that. Didn't have a rank 10+ char when this was the case  |
|
I d say Merc saracen is also a very good choice. 5% heat>>5% cold.
ull face hib debuffs grps. mids not so much if at all |
|
Only if you want to go full thrust, otherwise it's pretty bad. I think that Slash & Split crush at higher ranks is the best you can do (with Highlander). But Thrust saracen isn't that bad either. |

when reading the forums atm all you see atm is people talking about optimal setups, always the same classes, no variety, yada yada yada.
so how about we try to think about some "awkward on paper"-setups that might work under certain circumstances? maybe some weird boltshower-frontload-castersetup.....or setups with friars, champs, reavers, thanes.... be creative <3 |

Minstrel, Paladin (for speed 6) and 6 wizards. If they catch you even remotely clumped up you instantly die from bolt range from 6 VPs. If they don't, they can either SoS away or SoS and run around / through you until the VPs will kill enough of your group to make it work. After that they get can go back to APK and laugh about it for 15m until VP is up again  Nezix - 50 Minstrel <The Band>

exactly something like this :> but i wonder how VP damage is calculated and if replacing one wiz with a cleric wouldnt be better. still. i like it! |

Ummmmmhh... Not even MCL? I mean, BD suck so much mana in a so little time.. you might need some mana-sustain RA (even to combine with pots on rez) Wonder if Serenity (in general) will be something worth thinking of, or just a bad ra filler?  Also, Toughness 3 is 9% more hps, and if im not mistaken it is calculated on the base hps (not the one you have when buffed/+75items..) therefore, i would guess it would add just like 80 hit points... are we really sure this tiny hit point increase is worth 10 ra points?  There was a time when Uthgard 1.0 existed and maaaany toons and arrpees arose... but now:

Forgot about the 3% from your base hp part. Don't buy toughness ever
 I wouldn't invest in any mana ra's especially not if your running solo. MCL during Group fights only helps you after getting rezzed so I wouldn't want to get that either. |
