    i think most people run mage, but there's something to be said for a lumberjacking axer. Could maybe mix in poisoning to add some nastiness to it.

    Also I think most people are accustomed to fighting mages so they may be taken off guard when they have an axe in their face.

    still love eval fencer mages even though they aren't the most efficient/common. Still a blast!

    Why did you change this whole thread?

    You announced an IDOC, then changed it to a PVP build conversation?

    If you get in faction you can get your dexxer weapon blessed for two weeks - which makes the LJ more viable to play as at least you won’t lose so much when you die.

    Also if you have a good ping you can pull off fighting with a dexxer, with a bad ping (like me) you ll just run after shadows. lj is decent 1v1 for ppl who know how to use them but for big field fights with loads of ppl stun is just really useful (50% chance with wrestling & 20% with fencing)

    I built a lumberjack but it seemed more suited to a support role in open field / part of a gank squad. Mostly due to swing timer. That hit chance... miss and waaaiiit. Miss again and awwww I'm in trouble.

    Is there a method/tactic that I overlooked regarding this?
    My fencer mage seems far more viable, now with some vpn voodoo it looks like I may be able to particiate! :eek: I'm gonna get so melted :D
