Best Faction Perstige Class

Post by Deadeyes1 »

For the benifit of the newer people to this server what do you feel is your favorite class. If you could only choose one pestige class to play in a PVP setting of a faction, what would be your favorite?

Well. If we're talking BioWare NWN, then CoT, Shifter, and PDK are terribad. And PM and RDD are ridiculously amazing.
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

Also need to remember that the 'best' class is not the easiest to build and play. Overall, this is just a way of expressing which class you feel like voting for on the day, not any true representation of what these classes are like.

Hard for me to vote here as I have really only played a few (Harper Scout, RDD and Pale Master)

I personally loved my PM until its AC was nerfed.

I am thinking on building another PM though (that takes into account the AC changes) so would have to say PM

I am a firm believer in that if you need to rebuild a toon because of a nerf then it is the nerf that is broken.

I'm wondering, will a pure rdd ever beat a pure pm? Havent played much lately.

Why would I want to count 12 hours twice? I’m perfectly capable of counting to 24, and while we’re at it, can someone go shoot named time zones. GMT+x is all we need!

I firmly disagree. Those ridiculous 2h using melee mages that abused +12 shield EMA were never balanced.

Secondly, Vaga, a 66 AB (74 for the first few turns), 78 AC monstrosity with dragon breath and IKD has better than even odds vs a PM.

With the use of Azerblood for PM's now, it would be very hard to beat them with dragon breath.

Not sure why you think that. According to wiki azer gets:

10/- Fire Resistance

So let's see, 30d10 averages 165, DC 50 reflex save. If they fail the save, then you do an average of 155 damage (assuming no EER: fire). If they make the save (and no evasion), you average 72 damage. These values are before the fire vuln, which knock them up to 196 and 92 respectively.

I think doing 196 fire damage per round would be fairly respectable.

Azerblood is a silly race for PMs anyway, given that they're built around being hard to hit. If they aren't hard to hit, they're KD bait. Seems lose-lose to me.
