/applause Your reply suggesting that I "go and try" was dripping with Elitism, and assumed that I was globally condemning a caster sword and shield and ignorant to the fact that they do have their utility. They are for looks (99% percent of the time, unless you have a specific goal around them, like faster attack rate or longer enchants), and are not generally good for much outside of solo builds and casting longer enchantments, which you can still do with a focus and scepter or staff (for that matter). I would also like to point out that your use of the word convenient was a passive attempt at sarcasm. I am not trying to demean your intelligence or physical stature irl... which I could do and would prove nothing of me (outside of showing the world that I am good at typing and witty remarks). You have a tendency to necro post, as I look at your previous posts. Sad.... Last edited by The Way Out; Mar 13, 2008 at 06:26 PM // 18:26.. |

wow. i must have hit a nerve by using the word convenient. I'm sorry. When I said that I meant nothing more than "go try it for yourself".
Second, if you are going to misquote me then I will correct you. And I don't know what necro post means... could you find that in the dictionary for me? Last edited by Fried Tech; Mar 13, 2008 at 06:30 PM // 18:30.. |

Now I am left to berate you for the necro you are. The OP wants to know which is better. Why did you make things about you? |

I think you managed to take every single one of my posts out of context. Guru is here for the exchange of information between players. I posted one thing, you came back with another, and so on and so forth.
When I said try it, I meant just that. When I posted from the dictionary, it was because you misquoted me. As far as I'm concerned we are the only 2 people left on this thread. Having a discussion, heated as you may have made it, on your end anyway. If you think I trying to sound superior, your wrong. If you think I was trying to make this about me, your wrong. And I'll leave it at that. |

I should have changed it to the following, and maybe then none of the supposed "heated" arguments would have ensued. "I don't agree with a 40/40 always being the right thing. I use a caster sword and shield when I run a close AoE ele build because I am able to maintain Obi Flesh, Stone Striker, and Kinetic Armor for longer"... But I misquoted you... |

40/40 set for when you're casting.
Sword/shield set for when you're taking damage/kiting/not casting stuff. The end. |

lets keep this civil. but back to the OP 40/40 for casting most of the time high energy set for when things start to get hairy on your ebar weapon/shield (you will want the armor mods with these) Last edited by IslandHermet; Mar 13, 2008 at 07:51 PM // 19:51.. |

Hope this doesn't get closed. This is only my second thread.
No real need to keep posting anyway. I'm fine with a wand/focus. |

It's not your fault if a thread gets closed, nor do you get penalized for people's ridiculous actions in a thread you created.
So don't worry. |

Dumb question...If I were to carry a shield and sword, and I have not the skills to satisfy the requirements on the shield and sword (e.g. a 9-STR requirement on shield, and 10-req on swordsmanship), are they still useful?
I was told to carry a shield for an Ursan build. But if I get no armor benefits out of it (because I don't satisfy the requirement), what good is it? |

I find it funny that so many people who think they know a lot about this game still talk about 40/40 sets, when in reality they are 36/32/4 sets.
Statistics ftw? |

Though if you Ursan, you'll probably want to take a Warrior or Paragon secondary and meet the req of the shield for the full amount of armor. I don't Ursan myself, but I assume that's what they do- someone can correct me if I'm wrong on Ursan setups. Last edited by Velise_Snowtorm; Mar 14, 2008 at 04:03 AM // 04:03.. |

He is clearly wrong by misleading people with the introduction of a solo ele build that isn't used in average pve or pvp. I've been a bit informative, even went as far as to describe his build when he wouldn't and why his weapon set reference would work there... And then you come in with pom poms and min skirt, scream for someone to what??? win in a forum conversation? 40/40 set trumps all... Big trick is to stay out of aggro... I assume most of you understand that computer AI is limited |

and again you throw insults into your post (when you do this you lose all credibility and only make yourself look bad) even if this is a forum. No insults intended (but lets try to play nice) |

My point the entire time was that in certain situations the 40/40 set is not the best. For the build that the OP posted, yes it is tops. For any sort of up close build it is not tops. If you are casting melee range skills why would you want to be out of agro? You keep saying a solo build. How is my example : shockwave, aftershock, etc. a solo build? No where in there did I mention stonestriker or obi flesh., or any defensive skill. You took my example and turned it into the cookie cutter solo build that you thought it should be. Another example where melee sets would be better is anytime you are using ursan blessing. Or, just about any E/A build, or fire builds with inferno, lava font,ride the lightning, etc. Finally, before you start with the, "your condasending, and just want to feel like you have a big e-peen" bull, remember that 90% of everything is relative. Do you think everyone is out to get you? Do you have self esteem issues? Do you want people to come and look at your post for some /applause, Mr. Muscle Avatar?
