Anyone want to share what they run, or have ideas on what to run.. Or is it worth it? I have a character that has the following but not sure if its worth it with no resist. Swords Tactics Anatomy Healing Lumberjacking Hide Stealth I am sitting at GM on most of these skills. Thanks
Well at moment i dont know anyone to pvp with so i was just looking for some kind of suprise hard hitting type..on official servers before I stopped playing i ran a stealth archer which worked well, but archery here isnt the best from what ive read. I used to have just a straight lumberjacker melee back in the day that i loved to play but when i first started here i got all excited about combining the two but now I wonder if it has any survivability..lol Thanks again
Stealth solo will pose an interesting challenge in capturing your prey. Add two more players and you'll have a blast. Melee PK solo, you can ... you can get some kills at Jhelom Farms maybe?
Or even fencing in general, then you can Para blow and add resist. The problem. You're going to face right now is as soon as you hit someone once they're going to move away from you with no issues, especially since you won't be mounted. Running solo on a stealth dexxer I'd expect to take a lot of dirt naps considering melee chars have to stay on top of their target and being unmounted you won't really be able to do that unless you go for the Para blow with fencing and even then it's a crap shoot as to whether or not you strike for a Para blow
Macro: Place 4 chests around victim. GG! But yeah, run around with more people. Solo stealthing sounds unhealthy. Ninjas always fight in groups.
Maybe you are also interested in this: http://uorforum.com/threads/5ds-enforcer-branch.11614/ It didn't take of back then. But right now I am focussing a bit more on that instead of classical thieving. So we might have some stealth runs together, if you want to.
Thanks all for the responses, I appreciate it. Once i started really playing this template, thats kinda where I was in my thinking as well Kane. BlackEye, that's a good read and sounds fun.. I will hit you up on it when I get combat skills finished up on this guy. I was tossing around a thief to jump on working next.
I think you'll have a lot of fun with it if you can find people to run with that are using similar templates
Archery here has a bad reputation because it misses a lot on long range shots, A heavy XBOW on 2 tiles of distance however will hit like a truck and has an awesome accuracy (about 80% on 125 Archery to my tests), which isnt hard to do with stealthing either. I see how a stealth archer coud do well because of that reason, you can make cheap kills like that very easy. If you bring some additional friends too, then a kill is almost garantueed.
Do you guys think the LJ damage bonus on this would be worth keeping or carry its own weight in a stealth squad?
There are pro's and con's for every template. The LJ might bring the extra damage that is else missing in a 2-stealth team to kill. But you could also use the 100 skillpoints for magery too, for supportive stuff like casting invis or healing on others/yourself. PS: I did choose fencing. And have resist on my template. I am also not sure about healing. The problem is, once you come into the situation that you need healing via bandaids, you might be screwed anyway.
I played the lead in my stealth squad by having tracking. This making me a glass cannon for mages/pets, this template is for quick assassinations, not to pvp. I did this with a min of 3 people, another person would be stealth, archer or fencer, the other would be a mage. This is what I have. Fencing Anatomy Healing Tactics Hiding Stealth Tracking
No tracking, Fencing/Archery Anatomy Tactics Hiding Stealth Magery Eval This build serves one purpose: Stealth Gang-Banging This build with two to three other builds of the same nature simply stealth into a dungeon to surround an unsuspecting farmer and wham. You may be asking: No healing? Psshhhhh Well. Let me just remind you that three hits from a vanq bow/spear and a couple eval enforced e-bolts might just put the lights out on just about anybody. Trust me you are not going to put up a mountless fight against someone who you did not drop with healing alone. Dig It.
