Title: Which race/Rage
Post by HiddenHate on 02/18/03 at 05:33:27
I was just kinda thinking about hich race would make the best Berserker..

I ended up settling for a 19 18 18 19 18 16 Human.. There isn't much point in having a Half-Orc one, cus the +4Str, -4Dex would practicly make them useless in any fight. Which i suppose it does no matter what race you pick..

Maybe this could be changed to +4Str, -2Dex? How does that sound?

the current way its set is perfect, keeps them from becoming way to strong

5) Berserker class added, currently has 3 abilities. Rage is toggleable for +4str/-4dex. Smite is similar to assassinate, Berserk is similar to rapid fire. Berserkers can't wear armor. (As this update is done, they can't equip anything at all, items will be changed 1 by 1 to be allowed to be equipped).


Does this mean that they won't be able to use any armor at all, or will armor be added along with adding weapons for them ? Because if no armor, then you are definetley gonna need that 22 con.

They can use (probably) items like Crocodile Skin Boots, Centipede Gloves, perhaps even Fur Coat, Amulets, etc... Probably they won't be using shields.

Seems best way to lvl them is to smite up till about lvl6 then use normal attack after that..
Berserk costs more hp that it damages for (maybe thats coz i have no weapon).

Anyway, anyone think berserk/smite/rage will end up having lev reqs?

I myself along with the person i share with have a lvl 5 human. His stats are 19,x,19,19,19,x. I have found that where people have lved their half-orcs they only recieve 2 hp more per lvl than i do. That 2 points per lvl adds up to about 65hp at arch, but they are still stuck with 16 dex(18 if dexies are allowed to be equipted). A human i think i overall the best choice because it gains almost the same hp and has better dexterity. I have made the point in many places that even a half orc with 450 hp and 16 dex would not be able to withstand most arch rangers(i.e. my own-Alliedassault-18,x,23,18,18,19 with dexies). Thats just my two cents.

When weapons are added, I think they should be able to just use hammer's and axes, no swords...Then make a high level weapon for them. I think they should be able to wear leather armors though. No shields, or helmets though.

I generally think they should be able to where everything theives can, except a few things, like cpa

And THAT is why your also not staff in the game.

No armour, and it should stay that way, and in answer to Alicia's question, no, they never get armour.

As for race for beserker, Dwarf is clearly the best.

Umm I like my halforc cause he just does not rage.

Title: Re: Which race/Rage
Post by HiddenHate on 02/18/03 at 22:19:58
Hmm.. i can understand that.. But look at it this way: Humans. Only 19 str, but you still hit well.. 19dex, when you 'turn on' Rage, you want all the dex you can get, this way it goes down to 15. Con, sure a lot less than either Half-Orc or Dwarf, but still, you gain alot each lvl up..
*shrugs*
I suppose it's (as always) down to personal preferance.

dwarf would be beter cuz u can get a str modifier,however half-orc gota lot better hp...i'd b a close fight at same lvl

Title: Re: Which race/Rage
Post by 50cent on 02/18/03 at 23:37:07
a half orc wit sgs and AoH would b pretty coo
22 xx 18 22 16 xx
or a dwarf wit sgs and AoH
21 xx 20 21 18
dunno but i think a dwarf might b better...but who cares a new class is tight

I thought the armor thing looked like JLH hadn't programmed it yet. Seeing how armor is only allowed on certain classes & berserker not being programmed into it yet it would just say that you're the wrong class to use whatever armor it is. & that's why he has to change them over one by one. If I'm wrong someone correct me

I think there should be less wisdom and intelligence to half-orcs..there perfect stats should be 22 6 17 22 6 8
