Fancy title, eh? ...no? Oh, c'mon!

Anyway, I just happened to pass by EB when some guy was there named Unuduil (Lastname). I got Zerg Defiler out and found that he was a newb (not noob) to EB. So we fought for a while and he got served several times. The only time I died was when I had to kill him AND myself with Ice Storm when he got the edge.

For clarification, Zerg Defiler is my Sorc which I made to engage Halfwing's druid WNxBirch. He served me tons of times but I did manage make him Badly Wounded & on some occasions Near Death.

OK, so what you're saying is you tortured some poor soul who was new to the server? :P

Protoss119
09-18-2006, 01:17 PM
Quite frankly...yes. And each kill took around 10 seconds on average with me spamming Ice Storm on him. ^_^

I also killed 6 comps with the Muta Rush in Primeval Islands on SC. The one I didn't kill was killed by the other comps. I took 4 mutas and killed all of teal's probes & nexus early in the game. Then I expanded because I was gonna get pwnt by white. Then both white AND green attacked me. Of course, they were so busy attacking each other, I could get my overlords outta there. The Lair there was the only building that survived, miraculously.

Then I decided to play the pacifist and keep expanding while the other comps fought among themselves and then muta rushed green's expansions to much success. The spore colonies, while powerful, were easy pickings for the many many mutas. Then, knowing that minerals were low, I decided to expand a bit more.

I had around 33k mins and 10k gas when blue decided to attack one of my expansions with a guardian which was pwnt by mutas. Then I decided to go on the offensive. I got a Queen's nest up and a Hive along with a Greater Spire & the last armor/damage up. I pwned green (who had nothing but a creep colony left), white, OJ, & blue with Guardians and then I took all my mutas and guardians and attacked Purp. The attack failed no thanks to those damn High Templars, the bane of all Zerg.

With my 50k mins & 30k gas, I rebuilt my swarm of Mutas 2 more times. Purp could do nothing (just like the other pwnt CPUs) because he lacked the resources. The second attack failed, but 3's the charm, and that attack succeeded. I finished it off with attacking purp's last expansion, and +1 Victory for Toss.

Almuric
09-18-2006, 01:48 PM
I actually like to torture the newbs a little more. I'll use spells that hurt them just a little bit, one after the other, until they die. That is, as long as my defenses hold up. I like to give them the hope that they *might* last long enough to take me down.

Halfwingseen
09-18-2006, 01:53 PM
Your all horrible i just do the right thing and kill them with a insta death spell repeatedly until they leave em alone and follow me around like lapdogs and protoss you got me to near death with your sorc when i forgot to rest -.- i started at 1/2 health with a few spells XD

Almuric
09-18-2006, 02:16 PM
I never use Insta-death spells unless I'm getting double teamed. It makes folks leave the server and I cant have anymore fun.

JYAP
09-18-2006, 02:33 PM
Do it AFTER you've droven it through their skull that getting saving throw rings>>>insta-death spells.

Almuric
09-18-2006, 03:05 PM
Besides, I have bad memories of the server being really popular when it was first built, and then everyone left because a couple of mages were spamming insta-death. :(

Protoss119
09-18-2006, 04:05 PM
They do that at EW and yet it stays popular. I wonder why...at any rate, perhaps it would be wise to drop the DC on death spells just a tiny bit. The rest you should leave to the fort saves. Most of the spells aren't nerfed like hell like in EW so it should make a big opportunity for mages to inflict damage.

The reason we're not getting oh-so-populated is because of your competition. Bastions of War, Antiworld, Eternal War are your competitors and you need to strike them all down.

Halfwingseen
09-18-2006, 04:21 PM
Oh by the way the people who come get killed then leave are the same people that dont populate any specific server to unlikly they would come back anyway anyone who stays though typically plays pvp often so it helps weed out the peopel who jsut come for a day from the long time players
And as for peopel leaving because of insta death spammers... they went to BoW where dex monks > everything OR antiworld where shifters or clerics or monks > all OR EW where cleric monks or Paladins > all :/ evil cycle all casters get nerfed everywhere because no one realized that when you take out shadow dancer you take out a key advantage to counter spell casters ( the SD/Assassin/Bards are amazing anticasters stealth + silence = dead caster

JYAP
09-18-2006, 04:22 PM
Nerf it a little. Take off like 2 DC.

Protoss119
09-18-2006, 04:32 PM
Also, Monk/Cleric sucks in EW.

JYAP
09-18-2006, 04:43 PM
Casters suck in EW unless they're from Wing.

Protoss119
09-18-2006, 05:44 PM
Or Vesin, no?

Almuric
09-18-2006, 07:05 PM
I've already nerfed the death spells. People just make suck characters. I refuse to nerf mages for that.

JYAP
09-18-2006, 07:05 PM
Vesin sucks period. The guy needs IGMS and insta-death spells to even hold an edge.

I always post my point late. -_-

Protoss119
09-19-2006, 01:08 PM
Monks, Clerics, & Druids can counter IGMS with Spell Resistance, Sorcs & Wizzies with Counterspell...but the melees & archers are doomed, you're right.

Almuric
09-19-2006, 01:45 PM
The only thing I wish I could do was prevent you from casting the same spell over and over. I hate spammers.

Protoss119
09-19-2006, 04:01 PM
How about a trigger that decreases the damage with each consecutive cast?

Halfwingseen
09-19-2006, 04:05 PM
Trog the only issue with spammers is sometimes ( i know i do ) i get buffs and the best attacking spell from a spell level and spam that ( with sorc ) and if im sorc i just get the insta death+ a powerful spell if im wiz im gonna use more of a variety but i hate wizards

JYAP
09-19-2006, 06:08 PM
Wizards>J00. And you know it.

Halfwingseen
09-19-2006, 06:34 PM
Sorc> wizard in mage duel______PVM wizard > sorc
PVP Situation depends but 90% of time sorc> wiz

Almuric
09-19-2006, 07:08 PM
Unless the player is really good. Then it wont matter what whether he's a wiz or sorc. :)

JYAP
09-19-2006, 07:13 PM
Wizards get a higher DC than Sorcs and can get more skill points than Sorcs,which can go into something useful like Hide/MS or Spot/Listen. Sorcs get better persuade skills and stuff,but you never see that used in PvP.

Protoss119
09-20-2006, 01:33 PM
One reason why Wizzies would make good anti-sneaks, melee sneaks in particular. If you stay in one place with Greater Stoneskin on while a CSer attacks you, chances are that CSer is gonna attack in the same place over and over again. So just Ice Storm the place he's attacking at and he should get hit.

Also, Wizzies learn spells faster than Sorcs so getting Stoneskin + Ice Storm is possible, thus creating a possible anti-CSer. For some odd reason, however, I use Sorcs more. Probably because of more casts per day.

Halfwingseen
09-20-2006, 02:00 PM
Wizards DC only is in effect with a School of magic.
That same concept works with Sorc's Toss and usually better because of the sheer number of spells
Sorc's get amazing Taunt
60% spell failure with -6 AC FTW
beat that with a Wizard
Also Sorc Synergize with many different classes
( barbarian/Paladin/blackguard/CoT/RDD/pale master )
What do wizards get? Assassins if they want to try and get decent AB
( why barbarian you ask? DC for some of the better rage involves the taunt skill making sorcerer a nice choice )

Protoss119
09-20-2006, 04:25 PM
Yeah, but Wizzies can get more skill points so they can fill in Concentration, Spellcraft, Tumble, Listen, AND spot. Sorcs only get one of the cross-class skills to fill in. That is, Sorcs & Wizzies with the average intelligence. Wizzies need the listen/spot for detecting the melee-sneaks but you're right, you can use either Sorcs or Wizzies for rooting out CSers. Problem is, it takes a L8 Sorc to do it, and since it's so hard to level in EW...

Of course, in EB, there's no problem.

JYAP
09-20-2006, 06:19 PM
Why the hell do you need Taunt? You just lost 2 spells(if hasted)if you even bother doing it. It's better on a melee guy.

Multiclassing Barbarian gives you 10% extra move and the ever-useful-when-remembered rage. That's it.

Paladin's like the best option for multiclassing for the saves. You lose a few levels for awesome saves. Totally worth it IMO.

Blackguard? You kidding me boy?

Champion of Torm. Wow. Just...Wing,think about that for a second and see why that's a bad idea.

RDD is best left to Bard/melee multiclassers. Sorcs get lousy hit dice and bard song+curse song>level 3 spells IMO.

Pale Master? Meh. Interesting proposition actually. Just one thing though: Wizard gets the much-needed skill points from his high intelligence and can use Pale Master more effectively. Granted,Sorc gets simple weapons,but that's why you take a level of fighter and cram those points Wizzie has been saving into Discipline.

Halfwingseen
09-21-2006, 05:22 PM
RDD+PM+Sorc = +360 HP by last lvl..very nice

Multiclassing barbarian gievs you a 48 DC on your terrifying rage ( which gives you fear if you come in range 48 DC will save >fighter/rogue/cleric/everything )
along with the fact the 18 sorc lvls can help you take down any mage you see
the bonus 8 HP/lvl + 4 HP/lvl for rage
total of 480 HP bonus AAND
to take down anything u cant with spells Buffed up Barbarian lvls!

COT gives you ( without true strike ) + 29 AB and + 26 Damage
add + 5 to all saves then flame wep/blackstaff/gretaer magic/true strike OR tensers transform
and you get +1d4+10 +31 damage
and + 54 AB
Bam owned anything doesnt it

and Taunt + deaf and you got a 100% failure on non silent spells but a 60% on silent ^^

JYAP
09-23-2006, 05:43 AM
I'm sure RDD/PM/Sorc will be plesant to level up...</sarcasm>

Wing,if the barbarian side can do ANY good,then your magic sucks and you're better off without sorc levels. Same with CoT.

I don't think the percentages stack. I think it's more like Evasion in WCIII,where if you have 2 15% chances to evade,the game checks once then checks again. Taunting and Deafening a guy won't give him 100% chance to fail. It'll give him a 60% chance to fail,then he has to try again for a 40% chance or whatever the odds are.

Halfwingseen
09-23-2006, 07:22 PM
No it stacks... otherwise the spell failure from armor wouldnt work the way it does...

JYAP
09-24-2006, 07:43 AM
Oh. Ok then,nevermind.

Halfwingseen
09-24-2006, 08:54 PM
*gasp* is jyap submissive? O_O

JYAP
09-25-2006, 05:04 AM
I thrive off of disagreement. I'm not given much to work with since you didn't touch my other point.

Halfwingseen
09-25-2006, 01:57 PM
And about the barbarians sorc or cot sorc thing
thats like syaing a monk cleric is alot better off with just pure monk or pure cleric :/

or that Bard SD Assassins should stay pure bard

JYAP
09-25-2006, 04:18 PM
Monk/Cleric is different. Monk gets an AC bonus from Wis. It's actually worthwhile. A Bard/SD/Assassin is kickass,actually,despite a weaker song.

But that's not exactly related to how effective Barb/Sorc or CoT/Sorc is. Just because one skill may utilize a primary stat doesn't mean they go together well. I mean,really,is Xanos a good henchman? Is he?

Halfwingseen
09-25-2006, 06:00 PM
You cannot pick feats on Xanos and the true beauty of Barb/sorc is when you make it a damned half elf ( yes they are useful ) or human

also the barb/sorc combo works best in epic ( once you hit lvl ~30)
when terrifying rage's dc will stop all but the most powerful ( namely halfling clerics ) wills but with these your spells can take his will down roughly 10 knotches making him perfectly scared and tehn yuou can pummel with weapons or spells depending on the enemy

JYAP
09-26-2006, 03:36 AM
You conveniently exclude the exact level of both classes. At epic levels,a level 10 Sorc can't do alot with his spells,let alone level 30+.

Almuric
09-26-2006, 07:43 AM
Everyone should be required to make good classes with 30 levels or less. Anything above that is BS anyway. I'm so glad that NWN2 is staring out with only 20 levels.

Protoss119
09-26-2006, 01:07 PM
Can't argue with that. Where's the elite of the elite when you need 'em?

JYAP
09-26-2006, 04:39 PM
They left after the noob mage Bigby'd him then FoDed him then calls him a noob.

Halfwingseen
09-26-2006, 08:54 PM
by lvl 40 u get lvl 22 barb lvl 18 sorc it takes some persuasion to get both rages in ur 2 epic barb lvls but it works and a lvl 18 sorc can do everything ^^
Also by lvl 30 ur lvl 8 sorc lvl 22 barb

JYAP
09-27-2006, 03:51 AM
Ok then Skippy. How do you solve the glaring AC problem? I mean,this guy CAN'T hang back anymore when his barbarian levels outnumber his sorc levels...

By level 30 a 8 Sorc will be squashed effortlessly. That's 8 wasted levels of barbarian.

Almuric
09-27-2006, 07:21 AM
Yes, but what are you going to do in NWN 2? Come one now, where are the new builds?

JYAP
09-27-2006, 11:01 AM
Curses. Now I'm torn between Fighter/WM/CoT and Fighter/WM/Paladin. Which is better: the spell casting ability and Holy Avenger or CoT's bonus feats and saves?

Protoss119
09-27-2006, 01:03 PM
Fighter/WM/Pally by a hell of a lot. Holy Avenger, Diving Favor, & Deafening Clang are just too damaging to ignore; it will just spell doom for any melee build.

Almuric
09-27-2006, 01:42 PM
Holy Avenger is insanely powerful. It's so much more powerful then a weapon with on-hit dispel. I'd take the paladin mix any day.

JYAP
09-27-2006, 02:48 PM
Works for me. Behold the new and improved Rain!

Too bad the sacrifices I'll have to take will kill him. >_>

I can get WM by level 5 Fighter right? So I'll end up like Fighter 5/WM 8/Pally 7,correct?

Almuric
09-27-2006, 03:29 PM
I thought you got everything you needed out of WM by level 7?

Halfwingseen
09-27-2006, 03:48 PM
lvl 1 human fighter : dodge weapon focus and expertise
lvl 2:
lvl 3: mobility
lvl 4: Wep Spec
lvl 5: spring attack
lvl 6:
lvl 7: Whirlwind Attack
lvl 8: Wepmaster!

you CAN get it at on ur 7th lvl IF you skip weapon spec for 2 less damage every hit but that would be foolish

ALSO IN NWN 2 i would have to see the spells included to know exactly what builds to make

BUT i have stated earlier muy wep master barb berserker builds to deal 200-500 damage crits ^^ and 70-80 damage reg attacks without anything more than current EB gear

JYAP
09-27-2006, 04:57 PM
I can't believe it. Wing just made a suggestion for the actual leveling process and not how good a class will be at 20.

We're all gonna die.

But anyways,sounds good. I want a screenshot of that WM/Barb though.

Almuric
09-27-2006, 06:05 PM
He's learning new skills. :)

Protoss119
09-27-2006, 07:01 PM
But he messed up the feats. I believe it should be:

L1 Human Fighter- dodge weapon focus and expertise
L2- Mobility (If possible)
L3- If not possible at L2, Mobility. If so, something else. XD
L4- Weapon Specialization
L5- No feat.
L6- Spring Attack, Whirlwind Attack
L7- T3h Weapon Masterness.

Fighters get a bonus feat every other level (L2, L4, L6). As well, all classes get a bonus feat at L3, L6, L9, etc.

EDIT: 1500th post. ^_^

JYAP
09-27-2006, 07:43 PM
Now Toss just corrected Wing. Yup,we're all gonna die.
(hit by flying pig from out of hell with frost on it)
You see?! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!

Almuric
09-28-2006, 07:39 AM
Yeah, I was thinking you could go WM faster. You almost made me break out my character leveler.

JYAP
09-28-2006, 04:30 PM
I so wanna get together with you guys and go gank some stupid nooblets in NWN2.

WTF! My Banette lost in a contest despite kicking tons of ass in the appeal section! HAX! </Pokemon>

Halfwingseen
09-29-2006, 01:57 PM
no fighters bonus feat doesnt allow you to get whirlwind attack *shrugs*

and alsothats for martial and simple weapons if you want exotic u gotta wait til ur 8th lvl and most times u start wep master at 8th lvl for other races its on the 9th if u go fighter or the 12 if your rogue and halfling 11th if you human rogue ^^ and barbarians get it at lvl 10 if your a human ^^

Also i dont have a screen shot of that barb/wepmaster because
frenzied berserker is in NWN 2 but knowing his abilities you can deal that much damage with imp power attack ( which is +6 /-6 instead of 10 ) and because of frenzy its +12/-6) ect. that high of crits are for scythes you can aget 200ish crits with a longsword and 300ish with axes

JYAP
09-29-2006, 02:36 PM
(stabs those ^^ eyes)
That's irritating.

You can get Exotic at level 2 or 3. And are you completely sure that Whirlwind Attack isn't available as a bonus feat? If it's not,what about Spring Attack?

Almuric
09-29-2006, 03:14 PM
I'm going to post my build after I get home and make it. I think you can juggle things around a bit.

JYAP
09-29-2006, 07:11 PM
Cool.
(prepares debating skills on how Wing is wrong)

Protoss119
09-30-2006, 02:13 PM
Nah, you can get them both as bonus feats. I get both of 'em at L6 whenever I make a WM.

JYAP
09-30-2006, 08:28 PM
Wing is owned again. Something is wrong. The DOTA must've gone to his head.

Halfwingseen
10-01-2006, 07:40 AM
owned again jyap?
for stating something based on a weapon master?
and also i did forget that the reason my guy didnt get whirlwind as a bonus feat was he did not have expertise

JYAP
10-01-2006, 12:02 PM
I don't see how what you said is a counter to my post. It's unusual for you to make a mistake regarding NWN though.

Protoss119
10-02-2006, 01:33 PM
Then get Expertise at L3. Simple as that.

Almuric
10-02-2006, 02:14 PM
That's sad not getting your skillpoints in on time!

New SC battle report.

I was playing God's Land with some four other people and it was lagging like hell. One guy got banned, another left because of the hectic lag. So anyway, I was just finished blowing up red's stuff when blue attacked me with a ton of Rines and F-bats. What he didn't expect, however, is that I had a ton of mutas with 10 Damage/Armor ups and since his guys consisted mostly of F-bats and medics, he didn't stand a chance. However, he did have a rigged Hunter Killer on his side, but he got pwned by my Fenix (Dragoon). All the heroes were rigged, BTW.

So anyway, I decided to go attack from the north. Needless to say, blue got pwned. BADLY. But then god started giving him Raynors (which, I might add, are rigged) but I got them too along with Kukulzas. It all went downhill from there as god went mad and killed all our stuff and gave us a ton of heroes. I got the edge since god gave me a probe and I upped shields to L10 to add to my other ups. Then we both got banned to see who lagged.

So there. The end of a hectic B.net experience.

JYAP

Rejoin the swarm, Dweia! B.net calls for your eternal soul!

Bleh. B.net used to be like that for me, but it's getting better. Just avoid the really perverted games and you won't end up as an idiot.

The worst denizens would be the bastards online that hack their monk's gloves to pretty much pwn you on contact,then camp your corpse until you cry.

You do realize Protoss answered your question indirectly right? If you wanted to see what the thread was about,you should've checked the first page.
