When I made my rak build LONG ago I think I got a whole day of autoquickened unlimited empowered+maximized ice storms.


They put a stop to that quick without noting it LoL. (I think I had the convo with Lokey : "Hey my rak's quickened empowered infinite ice storms arent empowered anymore... and max doesnt work either" -> "Oh good it worked")


But truly IMHO thinking of my old rak build, with the reduced spell offensive couldnt it get atleast a better weapon than the LAME LAME club, even the staff that was on the skin would be better for the 1.5 str damage! IIRC Rak has some NICE physical stats to make it suitable to swing a decent weapon!

It would need a finessible weapon, otherwise it's ab is really low. Sickle maybe? Even with that the ab on outsiders really isn't all that great with 25 bab being the most possible for them and their highest stats being the same as human shapes. It could be worse, but it doesn't compare to golems or dragons.

golems and dragons dont have the spells that rak has.

I actually found it funny. And it was a good sentence to exit this already dead threat. And now I returned again. So to end it again.....

A few players and dms were on irc wanting dispel instead of breach. I wonder what game a lot of people are playing...

i never said dispel...that would be kind of ignorant on a class using a spell that would only benefit from alot of lvls

What you fail to take into consideration is that in NS4, which is to all extents and purposes a paper-rock-scissors game, Shifters can simply shift into Rock, Paper, or Scissors. A Pure Fighter will always be Rock.

Shifter can kill Palemasters, Pure Fighters, and Pure Barbarians relatively easily.

And furthermore, frankly sir, I think you're an asshat and I don't much care for you at all. Good day.
Really? I fail to see your understanding on this conversation? You really do not explain things to a capacity to fill our ears with knowledge. If you do have the brightest idea then please tell us all. I fail to see you on the server a raiding, but I do see on in loggin names. Seems that some ppl speak for TC but you are only here to get a leather crafter and such. If you speak so highly of shifters and you are from AO and RK then please enlighten us with your wisdom. I am truly sorry your shifter from TC was nerfed by Lokey, because you used it to pk TC ppl and and raid TC.


I mean, please since you have soooo much wisdom, enlighten us. Seems you say this to keep TC down. oh well, i remembered when TC was a mere 2 ppl in it.

Who is "Us"? I don't see anyone jumping out to say, "Hey! I think Willow is competent!". But I tell you what, I will enlighten you. You are the punch line for just about every joke on the server. I really want you to rationalize that. Whatever thoughts you had of a legacy on NS4 are shared surely only by you, yourself, and thee. No one can take you seriously, Willow. I flaunt my jester mannerisms, a Tyrion Lannister trait to be sure.. But even I get more respect than you. Namely because no one really understands your ridiculous pseudo-intellectual posts. They just laugh and mock you. The difference between you and I, is that they laugh at me because I tell a joke. They laugh at you because you are the joke.

Come on lokey, get in the server and pvp more with us ;). dispel can be more powerful than breach, especially when focused on. Breach is nice for the auto-strip of course, but there aren't a lot of offensive casters in TC that need the sr reduction, and it really only strips the "secondary" buffs on a target that aren't always that important, while dispel strips the core buffs like bulls, cats, divine favor, divine power, tensors, and others that can really make or break a build.

Personally I like it how it is with breach because we don't have arcane casters that can use breach or mords, and caster levels become an issue. I know with the original bioware rak, caster levels were based off of your druid levels, so builds with lots of shifter levels would have weak dispels.

I was leaning more towards Rak's having something like dismissal. Nothing wrecks a caster's day more than seeing his/her fully buffed summons, or freshly cast bigby go by way of the dodo :wink:
