  1. Er.. I wouldn't quite go so far as calling her a Seraphim... The woman in question is definitely lacking wings and ahem.. to borrow from Mr Giles - she's definitely missing those "lovely great ti-I-I-tles and nice firm ass..s-tral projections."

     

    Thanks, I just splattered my coffee over my screen :D

     

    *writes down a rule "Rule #1 when reading Dark forum: do not drink or eat anything while you read. If you have to, avert your eyes from the screen or minimize the window. Failure to adhere to this rule might shorten the lifespan of either your screen or keyboard."*

     

    I have replaced my keyboard at least three times now since coming to [D.a.r.k]

  2. I feel ya lujate, have the same issues myself. I tryed to hang on for the longest time, but other than getting to know some really good german players and a few in Britain It's usually just me playing. One single soul on 58 servers. it's gotten pretty bleak out there.

     

    So I exported and started playing Cm- patch. I figured why not have some new fun with it since I'm 98% solo anyway.

  3. Ok I took some pics, this should speak for itself fairly well.

    The Malevolent Champion and Death Warrior skills I only take to near 21 points initially for mod points to the buffs and attack combat arts.

    Pole Arms was the first skill that I got to level, I did this for the attack speed and Casting speed of his combat arts. The Pole Arms, Two handed Swords, and Two handed Hafted weapons are the slowest in the game. By keeping this weapons skil at level and one of the first three to get mastery at 75 our attack speed is awesome.

    Enhanced perception is the next skill I will get to level and get mastery at 75. This helps me find those goodies we are all seeking from the drops off mobs killed and by opening chests.

    Tactics Lore is the third skill for mastery at 75, this will give me damage and mod points for both Death Warrior and Malevolent Champion aspects.

     

    Here is how I modded the two buffs that the skill concentration allows me to wear.

    I only eat one rune for these buffs. As I find gear that has sockets on them I will smith the buff rune into this. When I first start I will put my buff suit on, cast it, then put my Battle suit back on before hunting. This allows me to have a maximum buff but without the regeneration penalty.

     

    I mod my attack combat arts this way.

    After I start finding items like equipment, weapons, or rings that have Regeneration per hit on them I will start to eat runes for my combat arts. Keeping the regeneration time of the FR or DB at a point lower than what I have socketed of Regen per Hit.

     

    And this is what my WidowMaker looks like, Running on Ice and Blood with CM-Patch installed.

  4. Aloha and Welcome Mistle.

     

    In my opinion (insert grain of salt here) I would start a Shadow warrior for one of your builds. I recently started on without using any support or boosting from our network, He has enhanced perception to help find goodies, doesn't spend any cash at the merchants, they wont sell to him. He is a bit ugly. He also has Blacksmithing so he can socket his own armor. The rest of the build is fairly close to my Ultimate warrior build, link in my signature.

     

    If your interested gimme a shout and I will write him up for you.

  5.  

    SpeedMin = 500,
    SpeedMax = 1500,

    These lines effect the minimum and maximum speed possible in the game. Anything over 1500 doesn't appear to have an effect on the player.

     

    I have my SpeedMax at 2000. This does affect run speed and attack/casting speed. So socketing 60% run speed does get your feet motivating at 160. Also speed boosts to attack and casting if they add up to over 150 it will reflect just like the run speed does.

  6.  

    BTW, I am playing softcore - if I die, I will mourn the loss of Survival Bonus and the slow process of having to build it back, but I won't give up on the character. I'm in it for fun and relaxation after work, in single player, not for keeping up with everybody on a server or getting the adrenaline rush from fear of permanent death.

    :)

     

    Well in that case I would take Dragon Focus! You want fun....... call in the Airstrike and giggle as your Dragon Strike flies in to devastate the area. Also with increased runes eaten the cooldown lowers, the regen grows but that can be managed very well with regen per hit. I have had many a laugh watching 3-4 dragons mid flight bombard the masses.

  7. Interesting concept you have going there. I assume that you are playing on the CM-Patch, you mentioned Lightsabers being wisdom based. Another great way to get an awesome Lightsaber is to start the epic office quest and run to the most southern point in the orc lands and see the big ogre on the way to the Ice Lord. that will net you the Power of SIF.

     

    As for your build.... I think its doable, my current Dragon mage is at 143. I started about 5-6 different variations of the Dragon Mage. Always loved the triple aspect build but..... he would always die, or felt lacking somewhere between 75 and 100 range.

     

    Elemental magic is great. always loved the gust of wind. Great boss killer. If you do protector buff chose only one protector. 2 was fun to watch but they did get in the way often. I really didnt care for the destroyers... dumb bombs to me. Like lobing a grenade and hope it goes where you want. Just wasn't for me.

     

    My current build I dropped the triple aspect and went with Dragon Focus and Lore. The dragon strike is absolutely awesome! Eternal flame I feel there is something wrong with it. Even fully modded and runes eaten to malus it just didn't do much.

     

    Mental Lore and Focus. This was my main aspect. Make sure to get the silver mod expansion on the Mind Strike. I believe I have nailed 6 mobs at once with this. They do need to be close together.

    I would start every combo with Maelstrom modded for Grind, Extension, Demoralize. Nothing better than to lower mobs attributes and armor.

     

    The point in my build that differed from the other 5-6 builds was the use of Constitution and Toughness. Toughness I mastered I believe right along side Armor Lore. they work great together. Which is really needed because the Dragon mage has no weapon combat arts, while you are casting you basically need to be able to just stand there and let mobs bang on you.

    Also combat discipline to get that forth CA. Concentration for two buffs Runes of protection and Familiar. And last of course Ancient Magic. The Dragon mage is a pure caster, as I mentioned he has zero weapons based combat arts.

     

    If your interested, I'll see about writing down all my info (or at least taking screen shots) of my build. ohh by the way he is still burning up the mobs in Closed net HardCore :viking:

  8. also I wanted to thank all the great members of these sites as well. There is no bashing, or trolls, or just plain nasty people (for the most part). Everyone is willing to lend a helping hand or paragraph to help another out. thanks all!

     

    Hey hey welcome. This is why we like to call this forum "Home".

     

    Sounds like you might be playing offline, If so thats cool, but if you poke you head around the corner to the HC-Closed net side and see my name or a [D.a.r.k] named server don't hesitate to stop in or send a whisper. I might be a few moments to get back to you but I'll drop into your server and see how your doing. Maybe even a lil goodie bag.
