Curse

Gabe3 · Aug 02, 2006, 06:36 PM // 18:36

i play factions, I have a w/necro. iam just about at the point of the game where you choose luxons or kurzicks. I have about 140k that i got farming the past few days. I already have the 1.5k shing jea dreadnoughts armor. iam basicly asking what i should spend my gold on. Iam using a green sskai sword for my weapon and a gold wooden buckler for my shield.

thanks in advance for the help.

it's really up to you.

you could save it to buy 15k armor if you like the looks of them. or you could add more swords to use on different occassions. depending on your shield, you might also want one with better stats. think about what would actually be useful for your character.

There's also no need to limit yourself to using a sword, try out the axe and hammer skills as well.

Capturing elites and otherwise expanding your skill selection will also take some cash.

I think you should give them to me if you can't come up with something yourself

Seriously though, I'd suggest getting some cosmetic stuff or making a new character to spend them on.

the only thing you get from 15k armor is looks right?

MercenaryKnight · Aug 02, 2006, 09:22 PM // 21:22

Yes, 1.5 and 15k armors have the exact same stats. The only thing that changes is the look of it all. The same goes for fow armor.

huh? does armor drop?

should i upgrade my runes?

Rancour · Aug 03, 2006, 12:13 AM // 00:13

What he means is that you should farm to get cash, which you can then spend on Fissure of Woe armor (which is extremely expencive and is ugly on warriors).

On the runes situation, you should limit yourself to only using one superior rune, based on which weapon you use. Once you've gotten that superior rune, get a vigor rune and some superior absorbtion runes (these are good because they don't cost hp like attribute runes do).

Other than that, I don't know what else, except trying different weapon types or boosting your looks.

Which is why I must, again, urge you to give them to me

Armor drops, but since each piece of armor is customized for the user (including those of enemies), all you can do with armor drops is salvage them.

I'm pretty sure that what he means by "farm for FoW armor" is that you save up your money, as FoW armor is quite expensive, due to the cost of the materials required (globs of ectoplasm ~ 6k each and obsidian shards ~ 4k each)

Rancour · Aug 03, 2006, 12:42 AM // 00:42

Oh, you're very welcome.

Edit: Armor drops, but not armor in the conventional sense. It's monster armor, the stuff that only salvages. You won't find a Stone Summit Dwarf dropping you a Gladiator's Hauberk (since the dwarves don't wear those, thank the lord).

I think it looks badass. are there any good warriors that want to help me out with my warrior?

my ingame name: "The Series"

Rancour · Aug 03, 2006, 11:21 AM // 11:21

Ok ok, I think it looks ugly on a male warrior...

Anyway, I'd be glad to help once I get my computer in... 2 weeks time or something.

Gabe3 · Aug 03, 2006, 07:40 PM // 19:40

whats a good shield that always has bonus effects. and i'd like it to be green

Rancour · Aug 03, 2006, 10:00 PM // 22:00

It really depends on wether your prefere a shield which requies Strength or Tactics.

Tactics (Factions): Sunreach's Shield, Exalted Aegis, Tarnen's Shield and Geoffer's Shell.

Tactics (Prophecies): There are none here with unconditional effects.

Strength (Factions): Exalted Aegis

Strength (Prophecies): There are none here with unconditional effects.

Complete list of Green Shields: http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Shield

If you're willing to give up on the unconditional mods, I suggest either getting "while Enchanted" mods or "while in a Stance" mods, dependant on your build.

heres a screenshot of my warrior, does everything look good or do I need to upgrade something or change it around? http://img476.imageshack.us/img476/2...3061417pu7.jpg

i saw a minipet for the first time, i think i want one, lol.

Rancour · Aug 04, 2006, 11:23 AM // 11:23

Your build looks ok, though I think Grenth's Balance is only for special occations. You might want to replace that with something else, perhaps an elite sword attack?
Sprint isn't a bad skill but you really won't need it in PvE unless you're running people. I suggest getting a more defensive skill instead, since that's what I'm most worried about.
Also, why the points in Curses, Death Magic and Blood Magic? Unless you're using skills from those lines, there's no real point is there?

Now, I must compliment you on your choice of attack skills. I'm SO tired of the Sever Artery -> Gash combo, and it only works on fleshy monsters. Your attacks work on everything and everything's brother in law.

Healing Signet; Great skill, bad if you don't have a defensive skill. Either get a good stance like Shield Stance or Defensive Stance (maybe even Gladiator's Defence, good skill but it's elite) and perhaps add in "Watch Yourself" instead of Sprint.

Minipet; useless vanity item. They're expencive and you can't show them off in town. I suggest you don't spend your money on them, but it's your choice. Besides, you get one yourself once your character is 1 year old.

I suggest you spend your money on getting some cooler armor, but that's just my opinion.
