I'd like Paladin

[Shadowalker]

Twig'Zilla is Bard RDD, Twig'lee is cleric DD (a blast to use in PvP)

Starting to wish zilla was cleric rdd, but need a bard in Aork more since already got a pvp cleric for that alliance.

Actually the last three players that Twig had time to help assimulate into NS4 went to enemy factions.

Lol, I'd rely like to pally in ao, but in all fairness, the pally/rdd combo is over the top... Without doing actual calculations, I think your close to 80 ac, 70 ab dragons with damage reduction and saves in the mid 50s or something like that... I rely don't want to fight that thing :p

Also AO has slaves how could a paladin live in AO and put up with the slavers.

These were pretty much the reasons pally was taken out of AO in the first place. Possibly the pally/sorc/sd combo or whatever it was some guy liked to play to prey on noobs might have been part of the reasoning too.

Oh that sounds brutal. NC should get sorcerers, you know, for balance

Need to get AO jobs online and cut half the crap on forums. AO had pally's and wizards at the same time but ppl got powerful so went the pally's at first and then "Poof" wizards were gone and so were the players. Old players and new and any in between will miss the faction due to other factions have an edge on them.

Jobs on this server are important. You need to keep up with the Jones's on this server and if 1 faction is less, then the faction suffers.

Dragons are great, but cumbersome to be honest, immune to sneak attack is great, but the true seeing was better due to when raiding you would take out the dragon first and then let your sd run nekked wild.

many builds are awesome in AO, cleric/bard/rdd, ranger/bard/rdd (dex or str), pure wizard, and other builds.

I mean in raiding each faction and I have many a times, the hardest is SL, RK, the rest stink to be honest. scrap the elites and increase the guards there to like lvl 25 and have a few with great spot and make ALL faction relic rooms have the same interior. Seems to be some players take advantage of bugs in some relic rooms.

Really to be picky, why is there assassins in AO?

Pally's are great, but there is wiz/AA's now in AO have fun


Idea, maybe increase faction bosses to like lvl 35 and have another relic but, if one factions has the relic bonus then those 2 related factions cannot receive the extra bonus .

This is actually a great point (and goes to show I'm not used to arcane classes that I didn't think of it - sorc for TC!). AO now has monk/wiz/30 AA and can now match SL for building the best AA on the server. Sounds like it's about time for TSS to move to AO.

Thanks for the amusement.

monk wiz aa 30 is better than monk sor aa 30 ? lol between you and barg I can't decide who is more fun

[VagaStorm]

Is there any rel difrence between a sorc and wiz in that build?

On a sidenote, which is rather important, dos a pally rdd get better stats than a cot or a pm? Both are bulds that is unmatched in ao/rk.

Depends what build, what you're building for etc. as per usual. You can still get stupidly high AB and AC, and you can clone the Raijin build, which I think is better than any CoT anyway.

[Ryddwillow]

between sorc and wiz no difference, the best AA's are from AO and SL. Just build them right.


You know mentioning builds on forums is super awesome, but leading players down a long lonely road with no gear is cruel.

Make a section on forums that states "New players guide" and go from there.

[Rufio]

Wizard is only better if you actually want to be able to cast some spells. You need int for skill points anyways.

[Bargeld]

1 sorc/wiz 12 monk 27 AA wild elf. You do wiz because you need 10+ of the base stat to take the caster class, and you will be dumping chr.

And you will not be casting (unless you consider ray of ice on your buddies your Pièce de résistance.)

Let's build them and see:

PAL MONK COT VS PAL SORC RDD:

PAL SORC RDD SPECS:
DROW +2 books to all stats
Ab with extended favor and prayer + bull's and blinding speed and a scimitar +6: 62
Ac with divine shield: 74
Spot with helm and 2 scrolls= 102
47 fort with merfolk helm
43 will
43 reflexes


PAL MONK COT SPECS:
DROw +2 books to all stats
AB 70 with wrath (+11 undispellable), blinding and divine favor with kama, or with ss+8 (in that case you don't need to cast divine favor)
AC 81/91 with divine shield/with expertise
Spot with helms and NC TOKEN: 117 (121 if you don't want expertise)
65 fort with merfolk helm and NC TOKEN
69 reflex
60 will
708 hp with endurance potion.
20+8 damage reduction

While the Rdd build is only theorical because it can't be built, the CoT is a real thing, and there are a few of them around.

And starting with monk then sor and aa isn't the same?

[Adventurer#1337]

thanks for the laughs

Sorc AA requires 10 chr base to be a sorc. Wild elf is -2 chr and the best race for it. You will also be taking disc and spot and some sc, so you will need some int anyway. Making it a sorc just makes it harder on yourself.
