Well done. You figured out the server. Fighters can beat rogues. Your wit! Its astounding!

Creativity. 40 fighter is never going to be creative. You have what you have. Its a fricking fighter build, with KD, and a variety of feats. I doubt that you can make a pure build that I haven't considered.

Also, Twiggy, please stop responding to my careful annihilation of incorrect stuff (including my build, which made up... 1/13 of my total post material, by response) with a personal attack. Its really quite childish and offensive and in bad taste.
when i said dip i used it incorrectly, i meant going some ranger (or mostly ranger) and doing other classes in with.
Well, I suppose that means that heavy prestige class... Isn't a PRC. In that case, pure WM doesn't need love, nor does Assassin. Rangers sure as hell don't need love to make me take more than 20-30 of it. I'm NEVER going to take more than 20 fighter, I just can't think of a reason I'd ever want to in any build ever except for a pure fighter. Same with Barbarian, except change 20 to 1.
also an II wand is only good until u get dispelled. conceal feats last all the time. conceal also help against kd and other feats. can't kd what u can't hit.
II wand helps vs KD and other feats too.
II wand has numerous uses a day.
Burning 5(!) feats on an II wand is tantamount to losing 2 AC from dex and 1 AC from taking the feat dodge. Its generally a bad idea. Its just like, for example, taking EMA on a build that caps its dodge through divine shield.

Enjoying pure classes doesn't make you uncreative. Pure classes being equal in power to the most carefully thought out multiclasses... does. Why would I bother to make rogue 17/druid6/shifter17 if I can make rogue 40 and be better?

As to putting stuff in a spreadsheet... Yes it takes creativity. Both Rozsudek and Judgement were made in a spreadsheet, but Roz > Judgement due to some problem solving I did to fix some feats.

Of course. end of the day it does come down to a players skill.

Ranger has amazing bonuses for staying pure compared to fighter and barbarian.
Consider HiPS as being way better than any pure class bonus. Its HiPS. And its Ranger. And its BoE. And its IE.

quit being an idiot then. None of what u said was careful or pertinent.

and ur not getting the point of pure classes mining. or multiclassing apparantly. pure classes would further add to what the class can already do. A 40 rogue wouldn't be better than a 17 rogue druid 6 shifter 17 in melee. but in picking locks/sneaks/hiding/ whatever else rogues are supposed to do, yes it should.mulitclassing is supposed to be for versatility. being able to do many things pretty well. while pure classes do whatever it is they do VERY well. a multiclass can take on many different builds while a pure class takes on (depending on the class) usually one other class. Pure monks take on mages. they are mage killers. No mage spell should touch them. against a fighter they would suck, cause the fighter would out damage them and then kill them, or do anything else to it really. In order to do what one multiclass would/could do you would need to make many pure classes to do the same thing. This idea is obviously not sinking into to your brain though. and no crap u can figure out a pure build. I can figure out any build you do. Just give me the spreadsheet and all the information from the server regarding those builds. it's not that freaking hard. It just takes time to figure it all out. No creativity involved there smart guy.


Oh and sarcasm as a means to attack someone is also childish. I don't care if u do it, I just hate hypocrites. Also, I learned to annihilate people in the marines. You don't know jack [censored] about annihilating anyone. leave it to the pros.


again your comment about prc's not needing love is not what i was talking about and you again took one part of what i was saying and failed to realize the bigger picture. Another mining approach right there. I should coin that phrase. Whenever someone comes up with something that is nit picky and derails from the main point. It's a mining approach.

II wands aren't permanent. they run out. the only point i was making was exactly that. I realize they help against kd and other feats too. It's quit simple to figure that out, they give the same thing. dodge only gives ac if ur running in combat and in regards to AoO. also when ur in combat and ur II drops off cause u got dispelled or it runs out, or something else. ur running around trying not to get kd'd and reigniting ur II and sometimes ur already dead. I don't have to worry about that.

my pally is untouchable when he puts his divine shield up, but the second it comes down he get's hit about 2 or 4 times if i don't time it right to get it back up. but my pally has disc. something rogues do not.

I can promise you. Your paladin isn't untouchable. It's probably a generic strength build pure paladin that uses heavy armor. Caps out at I want to sat 71 AC or so. That's crap.
I have always imagined that when shamed prepares for relic events, he grabs his bull horn, he finds his Napoleon hat, and he settles in for a weekend of barking orders and generally pissing off everyone in the tc/nc coalition. - Burrahobbit

he's lvl 30 now, so when he is in the places he is at, he is untouchable. (ok untouchable might be an overexaggeration since one or two 20's get through)

Shamed what did that have to do with this thread? why bring it up? oh yeah to nitpick. stop doing that. it doesn't do anything and frustrates EVERYONE. Great mining approach.

the point of that comment was to illustrate the weakness of relying on a wand (or feat in the pally's case) to build up a player.

Really? I didn't realise Paladins were great at killing themselves to raise dead already, or that Fighters were great at having FoM and haste as a str build. They're meant to give them the stuff that was holding them back, and some other cool stuff that makes them work better, and be an option.
A 40 rogue wouldn't be better than a 17 rogue druid 6 shifter 17 in melee. but in picking locks/sneaks/hiding/ whatever else rogues are supposed to do, yes it should.
Cool. Give rogues +50 to all skills at level 40 and you'll get *really* good corner sneaks and lock pickers. They'll still not be used. No discipline makes them autosuck.
mulitclassing is supposed to be for versatility. being able to do many things pretty well.
I can make a better WM in every way by dipping some rogue than going 30 WM. Thats a wrong statement.
while pure classes do whatever it is they do VERY well.
Eh. Fighters KD really well, I guess, but WMs are better at not being a 1 shot wonder.
a multiclass can take on many different builds while a pure class takes on (depending on the class) usually one other class.
So wrong. Fighters can kill any given thing. Same with barbs/palas. Multis do the same. This isn't rock paper scissors. Its rock paper scissors, grass tree ion quark black hole nuke shotgun glass cannon water leaves.... There are too many variables to quantify ANYTHING in such a dumb, simple way.
Pure monks take on mages. they are mage killers. No mage spell should touch them.
Pure monks will get killed in seconds by hellball, onto bigbys slow (no SR) melfs (no SR) Ice storm spam (no SR).
cause the fighter would out damage them and then kill them, or do anything else to it really.
Said monk could be a focused stunner, or have 90 AC and be untouchable for fighter, or equip a sling and kite the fighter from range.
In order to do what one multiclass would/could do you would need to make many pure classes to do the same thing.
Not really. A pure paladin works similarly to a lot of melee builds, ditto with pure fighter and str based WM. Fact is, pure class is for some of the gimmicky stuff (i.e. KD and roar, Warlords might, more AB etc)
Just give me the spreadsheet and all the information from the server regarding those builds.
Sure. But yeah, w/e. The spreadsheet is just a clean, clear way of expressing a build. I can work builds out on paper... I remember what a lot of the spell mods etc. are for buffs on this server, and most of the items as well. I can scan in my paper workings for you, but they'll look like gibberish. The spreadsheet, I repeat, does not build for you.
Oh and sarcasm as a means to attack someone is also childish. I don't care if u do it, I just hate hypocrites. Also, I learned to annihilate people in the marines. You don't know jack [censored] about annihilating anyone. leave it to the pros.
Can we please stop with the personal attacks? Yes, I use sarcasm. Its a way of conveying your opinion. I don't care if your a pro trauma surgeon who can cure cancer. The only difference who you are makes to me is if you are competent at the game, or incompetent. And, I haven't played with you much in game, so I just hate your opinions on pure classes.

Another mining approach right there. I should coin that phrase. Whenever someone comes up with something that is nit picky and derails from the main point. It's a mining approach.
My comment is about prcs being comparable to a lot of base classes as to needing love. Rangers need love as much as RDDs and SDs need love.
II wands aren't permanent. they run out. the only point i was making was exactly that. I realize they help against kd and other feats too. It's quit simple to figure that out, they give the same thing. dodge only gives ac if ur running in combat and in regards to AoO. also when ur in combat and ur II drops off cause u got dispelled or it runs out, or something else. ur running around trying not to get kd'd and reigniting ur II and sometimes ur already dead. I don't have to worry about that.
You know what else runs out? Everything. II wands have a ton of charges, you can use them easylike in combat. 5 feats is a huge waste.
AoO has no effect if you have over 15 tumble. Easy.
Dodge gives AC so long as you aren't running with AWSD or holding mouse button, or being attacked by a HiPSer, or stationary.
my pally is untouchable when he puts his divine shield up, but the second it comes down he get's hit about 2 or 4 times if i don't time it right to get it back up. but my pally has disc. something rogues do not.
Its not untouchable in either pvp or pvm. A) There are 80+ AB builds. B) There are 90+ AB monsters.
Yeah, but rogues will likely never get pure class bonuses because there will never be a good enough reason to take them pure without them being amazingly overpowered.
he's lvl 30 now, so when he is in the places he is at, he is untouchable.
NITPICK WARNING:

Oh Emm, Gee, my sorceror is SOOOO Untouchable, He walks around in GOBLINS in MELENCIA and stands there and doesn't get hit! Pretty wow, eh?
... Seriously. Anything other than level 40 PVP or PVM (in high level planes) is so utterly useless it isn't funny.
Sancreed was doing such level inappropriate things at 20, that you could extrapolate and say he could solo G1 at 40. He can't. Oh Emm Gee.

dude you are making my brain hurt from having to dumb things down for you.

first off none of what i suggested was anything like what the pure fighter bonuses give. nor was i involved in the making of pure fighter bonuses. Keep it on topic.


hahaha ur still not getting the point mining. pure rogues wouldn't be the be all and end all rogue class for everything. a pure rogue would be going against foes that pure rogues can go against. prolly classes that have low ab or something like that. maybe rogues could be good monk killers. unless of course monks started running away. just because you have no disc doesn't mean u auto suck, u just need to use ur characters in the right way. Kind of like assassin. I bet you still won't get this point.


mining no crap. as it is right now u would be correct. Hence why i am making my proposals. if my way was already in place i wouldn't need to be posting, that makes ur statement stupid and of no relevance. and ur also missing the point of pure classes....ONCE AGAIN!


i have no comment to your next statement. it is what it is.


i oversimplified it, but apparently dumbing it down still confused you. I don't know how i can say it so that you will understand, actually i just don't want to rephrase what i am saying in such a way to appease every nerve in your brain. So because you are so obstinate, and not coming at me in a way that says, i don't understand this statement can u please explain. I give up.

i realize that monks NOW will get killed num nuts. go back to your corner mining and play with yourself. let the big boys talk ok?


said monk wouldn't be a pure monk, or their damage would suck. the fighter could kd them and crit them three times in a row and kill them, or they could have really good will saves. I'm just gonna leave this as you don't understand simple things and I will ignore you from now on.


obviously things are not how i am envisioning them. hence why i said should, or could in my statements.


the spreadsheet is an organizer, i realize that. doesn't take away the point that anyone can build it, and no creativity is involved.

Ok sorry, i read that comment after i posted all this stuff. I will stop being negative. Just realize how your comments come across. I apologize for being rude


yes some prc's need some love i agree. I said in an earlier post, maybe another thread but i realize that this is not the only thing that needs work.

I will let the last two comments go. try to erase the negative comments made in the beginning of this thread. I already spent more time on this then i wanted to.


Oh and i replaced dodge with mobility in my mind :oops: so you are correct on that.

oh and epic conceal doesn't run out :).

Those PRCs need love like chicken needs arsenic before one eats it.

I don't think you get my point. What would you do to these classes. What would you do to them to make them worth building pure without being crazy OP?

i realize that monks NOW will get killed num nuts. go back to your corner mining and play with yourself. let the big boys talk ok?

So you'll give them... What? An AC based monk with SR the way you say it is immune to everything but fighter KD, which can be dodged, and thus can carry relics anywhere, any time.
said monk wouldn't be a pure monk, or their damage would suck. the fighter could kd them and crit them three times in a row and kill them, or they could have really good will saves. I'm just gonna leave this as you don't understand simple things and I will ignore you from now on.
Well, no. It doesn't matter. In a 1v1, said monk will never ever be within range of the fighter, so it doesn't matter. It can just use a sling and own the show.

oh and epic conceal doesn't run out :).
Epic conceal is the worst feat tree in the game, full stop. There, I said it. Ask anyone. I mean, maybe overwhelming crit tree? But thats about it.

Here's what you can do to make your posts more sensible to me, tbh:
Make suggestions.
Stop going on about 'what will be' without these suggestions.
Don't try to make hypothetical argument without indicating it.

Good day, sir :)

LOL i didn't know i was catering to you mining, you should have told me you sly dog you.

I have made suggestions. changing casters damage types and if sr affects them or not. etc.

i assume that my statements are understood so i forgo the "if things are implemented part".

I think what would help you, is if you start looking at things the way i look at them. I do the same thing for you. that's how i can tell ur not getting what i am saying. or at least understand why ur not getting it. when i say things should be someway, ur brain removes the should part and sees it as me saying that is how things are now. (or at least that's what i'm pretty sure is going on up there.) I use keywords that define what i am saying. Like the word should is used to denote that it hasn't come to pass yet, or isn't implemented.

I'll try to word my things more carefully however.

back to the topic.

Pure rangers get good damage vs favored enemies. (check)
Pure rangers get poor ac because they are mostly dual wielding or double sided weaponing (not a word, i know)
Pure rangers have no spot/listening buffs available (check)
Pure rangers are pretty good stalkers (Hips outdoors) (check)
Pure rangers are mediocre trap setters (meaning nothing differentiates rangers from other classes in terms of setting traps, and rangers set traps to catch their foes/dinner :twisted: )
Pure rangers have no edodge/haste ability or nor can they get it at all (not referring to the 20% movement speed, but actual haste) (check)
Pure rangers/any rangers have no familiar (check)


so pure rangers are good at attacking their favored race and that's about it.


how bout giving pure rangers a token that summons a beast that scales with ranger lvls and is dependent on alignment? make it a planar animal or something, or planar for good ranger, regular animal for nuetral, and undead animal for evil? or something like that.

make dual wielding give the combined enhancement bonus of both weapons/2 as ac? so a max of 8. and in case of odd numbers is rounded up?

give rangers a token that adds to their spot/listen/search skill scaling on ranger lvl. up to +50. (same as a wizard casting TS and Clairaudio/voyance on himself.)

open up a ranger store that only sells to rangers epicly epic traps that you can set dependent upon ranger lvl.

have the ranger movement speed ability increase 10% every 10 lvls or whatver to the max +50% movement speed at lvl 40 ranger. (it's only usable outdoors)

give lvl 40 rangers the preternatural danger feat aka edodge or spidey sense. if possible only outdoors, but anything else is fine.


I know some of these might seem op, but this is just the first step. oh an spells kills this guy every time.

I think the way things should be is that no one argues with Twiggy anymore and we all just let him deal with things the way they are. Most of us have tried to explain things to him out of a 'mentor' perspective, and he has simply thrown it back in our faces with the addition of utter nonsense about how things *should* be the way he imagines them. I'll say it one last time, I don't think this is the server for you, Twiggy.

Let him build within the boundaries of what we all have and know and let him be frustrated that he doesn't get out of it what he wants.

He seems like a nice guy. He's just getting into arguments with people when he really shouldn't. It's kind of like, okay let's say you've got an Audi TT Quattro. Alright? And you have an option of getting a hardtop, or a sweet convertible one. If you live in Florida, of course you're going to get the Convertible one. Twiggy just wants to argue on the side of getting the hardtop because of rain, when all you're really concerned with is pickin' up chicks in your sweet convertible. Don't you agree, Bargeld?

Actually, Twiggy would argue that you should get a HUGE Cadillac Escalade because, if it floods in those rains, you can drive right through the flood.

Actually... you picked the best analogy EVER. I live in Florida. I have an Audi TT Quattro. It's not a convertible... those are noisy and tend to leak in all the rain we have :twisted:

Oh noes! Does that mean I'm on Twiggy's side? :oops: :? :cry:

I put a lot of work into animal companions a couple years ago... the code is still there, but would require further testing before I'd feel comfortable making it official. Each companion type (dire rat, wolf, spider) is unique and has a special ability that grows with the ranger/druid level...

Dire Rat has a diseased bite with a DC that scales up with level, same with spider and poison bite, etc. Could be fun to add that in if I can find the time...

It's not intended to be a pure class ability, but it rewards those who put more levels into ranger (or druid for that matter).
