Rallying for Rangers in SL

[Shhhhhhh]

Oh is this your imaginary character again with 10 attacks per round and +20 attack buffs?

[Korr]

Quick and dirty here...

Monk (10) / CoT (30)

AB : 27 (BAB) + 3 (WF, EWF, EP) + 15 (Rough Dex) = 45 AB Attacks at...

Flurrying & Two-Weapon & Haste: 42/39/36/33/30/27/42/42/42/37

Chug a Prayer pot and use your CoT Divine Wrath (would count NC bonuses but dont know them) :
58/55/52/49/46/43/58/58/58/53

Average Actual Attack (being a 10 the avg of a d20)
68/65/62/59/56/53/68/68/68/63

More than enough to hit any Heavy Armor, and a fair chance 7 times of hitting a dexer... +13 divine damage from Divine Wrath, NC Bonuses, Weapon Damage, Elemental Damage, lets not forget +13 to saves, and +15 to saves, and 30/+8 DR.

So no this is hardly a fictious character, I just whipped on eup within 4 minutes while sitting waiting for my next class to start. Add paladin or cleric levels to get some divine might/shield and you can easily be looking at 20 divine damage no NC bonus.


Next question please...

[Daltian]

Great, but should build it STR based so that you can keep all those prayer pots. BTW, what does CoT have to do with SL and ranger? NC has CoT, you have assassin, wizard, sorc, blackguard, monk/AA, rogue, ......

[Daltian]

Clerics can easily get 4-5, with the right other spell combonations you can even make yourself more effective with it, which a ranger/assassin would have a slight lack at.

4-5 compared to infinite death attacks if you had hips. Doesn't look the same to me.

[Blystos Re]

Nice one, Korr. Toss in an Amulet of Power for one more attack at full bonus.


...oh wait, you can't build that in SL.
Guess you'll have to join NC.

[Korr]

Just showing people how easy it is to get the AB and damage im talking about out of a CoT. I have plenty of assassin builds in mind, most of which wouldnt benefit much from ranger... but speaking from a RP stand-point rangers would have a home in SL.

[Shamed Monkey]

I know it's easy, I already have a build for a CoT. Just haven't gotten around to building it in game.. Anyway, again, I point out, our divine damage is nothing compared to 3 or 4 IGMs hitting someone at once. Then you've got all your other spells, Epic Warding, Greater Ruin, Hellball, etc etc.

tl;dr: Get over it. You have wizards.

[Korr]

Spell Mantle potion...

[Nyeleni]

Yeah, very easy to come by without a mage...

[mgrjebbo]

What i read in this topic is this.

Everyone has a plus and a negative. Each faction is unique. The devs have done their job well.

Yay Devs!

[Fezz]

you forgot to add the +5 to ab from HoD kama's looks kinda nasty though

[Daltian]

Also forgot there is 20 ab cap. So +5 kama don't matter.

[VagaStorm]

Also forgot there is 20 ab cap. So +5 kama don't matter.

yes it dos. cap is +20. divine wrath +13, kama +6, haste +1 == +20

so math is 27 +wf 1, +ewf 2, +1ep, +15 dex = 46+20 = 66 -2 dualvield, -2 flurry = 62

Then agen, who on erth would make this build without divine might?

[Amoenotep]

i'm sorry...what were we talking about again?

[Nyeleni]

Rangers for every faction . Remove Sorcerer from SL and MA instead. Doesn't fit into those studious and meticulous scientist mages anyways...
