Hi This is your sharder right Freeze the waters of Styx and escape quickly to reborn and start a new life in Ancaria.

Hi Welcome aboard dude!

Hi Nice work Obsession! My beloved magic seraphim (not exclusively against undead - but I killed mostly undead) is built mainly around this template and I can tell its nice and working! Only real difference that instead of trading I took riding (I love horses) and accidentally I picked LHW (well LAG picked it for me) instead id agility. No matter this build works wonders

Hi That drop off is caused by the min level requirement of the BFG spear template ----> min level 5. After that you will not encouter this problem. Loosing caster equipment. Hmm must be pre 2.28. Didnt happened with me for a very looong time. Btw: like promatolya said you loose the original items bonus for the duration of the CA so its really not much gain to use a patenus argument - try a lotsa socketed sword/shield slot socketed with either all ca ammys or bfg runes or traded + bfg jewelry. Some thought on on a bfg seraphim here. Cs.

Hi Wish you a happy birthday and an exponentially rising happiness factor!

Hi Stygian Elder

Hi Here is my seraphim Heavenly Device of Mass Destruction (with flameskin from Schot) BFG is a wonderful CA - and this time you dont really fear reading too much BFG runes. Make a sword/shield slot. Preferably many sockets and bonus to BFG on the stuff itself. Socket it with +All CA or +BFG jewelry. When you cast BFG this sword/shield slot will vanish and you will have the BFG lance instead. This means that all the bonus you get from them is vanished too - so its not counted towards regen time - but you had theese bonuses at the time of the cast so the actual level of your BFG will be the higher one just showing a much lower. Its a duration CA so you can read pretty much rune without the fear of too high regen. BFG has really only big weakness - its very slow casting animation which (to my knowledge) cannot be reduced. A good build high level BFG seraphim can visit all areas - even with this problem - and shine everywhere. BFG has some kind of *armor piercing* effect and damage is pretty much he same everyehere so its not resisted too much. Damage is capped around 60k (without crit) but thats not a problem - you will shoot the balls pretty often and the balls go trough the ebenies hurting everything in their paths. However BFG real shines from bronze till gold (plat can be owned too). When you start your new seraphim dont spare the time and hunt BFG runes for her. If you manage around 100 rune - she will be unstoppable. Read all of them and make a combo with 1 BFG and buy a lot of yellow potions. Now the hardest places will turn into your playground Buy a lot of red pots and drink them constantly while casting the combo and then start shooting. With some leech and crit this build I night unstoppable till plat. Very very powerful. My BFG seraphim went to vot at level 14 and devastated the area pretty quickly - ofc she had BFG over level 100. Ps.: BFG is a very handy secondary attack for LHW seras. The attack speed of BFG is ruled by LHW so you wil already have the required lore an all you need is high concentration (which you will have) and some investment in BFG (which is pretty easy to do). Ps2. So Gogo GO FOR IT

Hi No I dont use disarm skill. Disarm skill requires a melee attack to work and the enemies die before I can really hit them Maybe its just me but I cant accept the thought of an actually fighting BM. IMHO not even the famous and fantastic WIDD can take his damage (if he actually manages to hit the baddies) even near to a simple CA user char. And I really customed to my melee chars damage output which starts from 300k and goes to 10 million - so a sword wielding BM doesnt acceptable to me. Taking the disarm skill with weapon lore and sword lore would rob me 3 skill which I can spend more productive - IMHO ofc. Disarm skill cant be used trough spells - sadly. If that would be possible the whole situation would change of course. So the WW disarm is the only thing I use - but as you see it works really well. Hehe a Tharr Eross Dwarf following a WW BM would be a real goldmine As far as I know disarm - mostly from SIF reports - in 2.28 it simply gives a chance (a very low chance) to disarm the opponent. WW has an almost absolute chance of success and it works on several opponents at the same time repeating disarm again and again. I noticed that disarmed enemies damage drops - so WW is a quite useful spell only the great quantity of white stuff lying around you is disturbing a bit - hard to pick up the *real* drops

Hi Awsome pics Cykes!! Be very very happy!

Hi Just having a cold...

Hi Update: he is 188 now (WW over 300) Hehe things look this way when I am finished with a group: The sound ... well it doesnt disturbs me that much. (didnt even noticed really that this could be a problem till you asked ) Now lets see my newest, carefully "hand picked" selection: Some shields: and yes at Zhurag a DE dropped his armor too: as a bonus I was able to disarm a ghost! (hehe I swear its true): A you see this far I only found so called "white" stuff and I would seriously doubt that WW disarm would get us sets. Disarm rips the creature off his weapon/shield - so there needs to be an existing weapon/shield to be dropped. Its not a Disarm then a random drop. Even the animation shows when the stuff falls and from that on the creature will attack barehanded. So I dont think that sets could be gotten this way. BUT Ancaria is big and I just started the journey with the Whirlwing so I let the question open. Cs. ps.: Trusted peoples reported that disarm could net you certain uniqe stuff like Suell Blablabla Wood elf shield - from certain monsters - didnt confiremed it yet myself - but I will.

Hi Surely! Crit is a good way to increase damage. But at your level I would focus on getting +1 Ca ammys from a friendy lvl1 trader Dwarf. Increaseing the level of your EA trough item bonuses wont drastically increase the regen time but on the other hand EA has a real nice damage increase per level.

Hi ATM I dont have any ORLA around at this level but I would say this is better than O because of the extra socket and the def. The Rsm could help too. O has % attack rate on it but I think a hybrid seraphim could manage things without that But hey try it out

Hi Actually I am offered that one for you weeks ago! (Bad boy - you dont let others to help you lol) Hehe its yours if you would like. Cygnus: LHW is really nice to throw too

Hi Gogo: Btw did you see this?

Hi Gogo: I didnt said that resistor is better than honor - just that this one is an awesom piece and could be used quite deadly. Back to the crit: If you have 50% crit then its obvious that you will come better to sacrafice some crit (lets say back to 45% - still a huge crit %) and getting increased base damage. Of course this applies only if you rely on melee. When I made a hybrid chat I always choosed a part (magic or melee) which is a little stronger (more articulated) that the other. I never believed keeping balance with a hybrid. If you are "stronger" with melee than loosing a tiny bit crit but gaining a base damage upgrade is clearly the winning decision BUT if you have that spear in your hands to do something while RBOL and CL killing masses of enemies - so if you are heavier into magic then I would say that you dont need that damage upgrade. The Sereish lance and any other Set Lance/spear (most unikqs too) missing something really important mod: defense. I saw rare lances with lotsa sockets mounting defense mods like +93% DEX to defense while still having decent damage. Now if we could find such a lance with 4 socket and a nice RSM and crit bonus on it...

Hi Well having 4 socket is a great feature. Use 1 or 2 socket with crit jewelry and you are golden. You get the crit bonus AND the damage of the ring AND still 2 or 3 socket free. (Hehe sell your soul for a Silasa ring which has +to all CA and Crit and phys damage. ) That 93% str damage bonus is much much more important than having 20 more crit point. Crit works like MF (sorta) so the Crit Value you have (lets say 50) is not 50% crit but only around ~20% (plus minus a few). So if you have a stable crit % its much more useful to raise the base damage. Hehe just my 2 cents

Hi Finally I have a BM who didnt died as soon as entering silver So after I readed a lot about the whirlwind spell disarming effect I decided to look after it myself. I will try to keep you updated what I find through that special disarm. ATM whirlwind is level 200 so the catch is not that big... but it will improove! #1, Theese are interesting because they have a player usable Uniqe counterpart: #2, Their name and their level suggest that theese are from the WW disarm: #3, I think this is disarmed too - check the item level (my BM was 181 when this dagger dropped, so cant be ordinary drop)

Hi Laboratory Animal XED 988 - Monsters

Hi Sir Jost of Moorbrook

Hi Hehe as the title says. Here is my first offer:

Hi Gogo: I know this isnt the Trient of Honour you seek but maybe it can be useful to you: It has 4 sockets and HUGE defense bonus (which is always a good thing to a LHW seraphim). Its pure poison damage could be great in the appropriate areas If you are interested drop a PM and/or meet me online! Cs.

Hi Gogo: You should consider the Dream Netting set. True it has no secret damage on it BUT without any argues Dream Netting is the best from the "old" sets. Incredible huge phys damage and very nice magic damage on it. Another nice features are the awesome stat bonuses - I think DN has the best stat bonuses in the whole game. OK I know thoose are not "news" for you but its worth considering it. - Glad to hear that she Rocks (and lives again). Cs.

The tale is told and she is mourned. The brave vampiress fell to an enemy way above all of us. No orc, undead, dragon or demon could triumph over her so they made a hideous pact with entites even darker than us. Thoose nameless powers gathered their might and stopped the flow of the time around us. I was lucky... too lucky I could say... I created a protective barrier around me but when I started to gather the magical energies for a second one I saw I am too late. Even with her last breath she tried to ease the mind of her companion. Then she vanished. All whats left is her spilled blood on the floor and the wall (and... on me ) ICE FIRE EARTH - heed my call. Spirits of the underworld gather around this place! Its D.a.r.k. time now. Time for REVENGE
