RunarSterk: What I usually do is knockdown, hit, then knockdown again, and repeat. Granted, you won't always land the KD, but it's very effective against casters. They can't get any spells off when they're laying on their backs being beaten. In PvP, it also keeps them from running away :P My attack...

Knockdown and concentration checks Engine, nothing straightforward to do about them. I'm pretty close to giving everything knockdown immunity and going to a custom trip ability--there's a reason 90% of mobs and 100% of players had knockdown immune in NS3. Even with that we're stuck with the free at...

so you want to nerf every class /npc/dm encounter so a pure fighter can kill everything? Who suggested that? D&D here, gotta make use of all the options. cant just lazily build a character and expect it to perform better than people who put thought into their choices. Last I checked, which admitted...

there are advantages and disadvantages to each class. just because your fighter cant do everything a mage can do doesnt mean jack squat: make a mage for heavens sake! What are the mages disadvantages? Low HP only counts as a disadvantage if you can be injured. The few times I've found a caster will...

Heal kits certainly don't make clerics useless. I'd much rather have a cleric at my side than a pile of heal kits. Clerics can buff, too. Clerics can also fight. When using a heal kit, you can't attack anything, and your attack stops (maybe not a big deal, but when you're surrounded it can be tricky...

is this inclusive of animal companions and familiars? Personally, I would vote no, because I think those make for good RP stuff, and I don't think it would be fair to pull those unique abilities from classes that have 'em. I'm not too familiar with familiars (*groan*), but they aren't typically sup...

*peeks his head out* Ok. Looks safe enough. I would like to suggest that summons be removed from NS4. It seems to me they only exist to help people solo. It's often been pointed out that there is an intention to get people to group up. Unless I'm mistaken, summons don't have any special abilities th...

Would the suggesting that removing summons from a PVP mod is a good idea draw countless flaming arrows of doom? :twisted:

Urk.. well, I worry about what Haela would do to me, but perhaps Dumathoin would offer me a quest and allow me to convert to him. (( Unfortunately, neither of them are represented by DMs last I saw, so it goes... )) :)

Aha! Yes, I think I would have a decent chance if it wasn't for the poison. Thanks, maybe I don't have a completely screwed up char after all. ;)

fighters are really good solo in pvm........i took out the queen bettle (lvl 18 cr mob) at lvl 5, and clear arachnids lair at lvl 7(5 dire spiders and the black widow at the same time!) by just rushing in and using healing kits. What sort of build do you have? I just tried to do the arachnids lair ...

There's gonna be +8 ability gear? I thought.. well, I guess I thought there wasn't going to be stuff like that available.
