    I don't get anything out of exploring really. The tome stuff is apparently <a href="http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GuideDangIt" target="_blank">ludicrously well hidden,</a> so I quickly got tired of that.

    need some screenshots up in hneah!

    my level 22 disciple:
    <img src="http://dl-client.getdropbox.com/u/99279/Sayeh^F_003.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" />

    I'd post a pic of my magus, but she's not very photogenic. tbh, she looks more like a lizard than a wizard.

    sadly, most of the pics in my screenshots folder are just brag shots of the scoreboard when I did excessively well, but no one wants to see those. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" /> though there was this one game where I topped the damage *and* the healing, in the 20-31 bracket, at level 21... ok, I'm done now. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />

    <insert my ever living hate of DoKs here>

    Seriously, the fact that you DO NOT DIE, and can top both damage and healing means that I slap my anti heal on you guys the second I see you (50% less effective heals on you, and every time some one heals you, they take damage). Playing as one of my alts (a WH), I there was a DoK I could NOT KILL, no matter what, I just could not kill him. I can mow through other healers, and even other DoKs, but not him!

    That being said I was happy to top 100K damage last night on my BW (level 23, was 120K and the nearest behind me was 100K behind that was 80K). This was also the same round that some chosen decided to do that root thing (where neither he nor I can move) and I still managed to off him (dot dot dot detaunt fireball). Kinda made me happy.


    So <a href="http://herald.warhammeronline.com/warherald/NewsArticle.war?id=362" target="_blank">1..2 is going live in NA atm</a>. Again, don't know when euros get it, but there are some good things in there.

    DoK's are naff unless you're playing solo.

    2 pure classes beat 2 hybrid classes, i.e. one healer + dps/tank will beat 2 DoKs.

    Hybrid classes are more fun to play but if they top damage and/or healing then their team mates are pretty poor.

    Flat out wrong.

    If I am playing my WH and I run into a Healer (Zel or Sham) with another class I can toast the healer and generally get away from the other class. If it is a DoK (played well), I can't off them, and that is worth A LOT in a scenario.

    I mean, it is true that latter on they are probably not as beastly, but until we get the heal debufs they are absolutely frightening.

    Admittedly, this also brings up the fact that every one sucks. If I can come in the top 5-10 for every scenario and PQ I am in (either for damage or healing depending on what I am playing), something is wrong.

    hell, I was watching a BLACK ORC come in top 3 in damage regularly in scenarios. That just isn't right. This is with other WHs and BWs in the scenario, who SHOULD be cleaning house damage wise, but they just don't. Same is true on the Destro side. Sorcs and Witch Elfs should be blowing way past most of the other players, but they just don't.

    Hell, two archmages can beat two DoKs. Granted, considering how little trouble they gave us, they probably had no clue what they were doing. As for damage, I'm not so sure that the pure DPS classes should out-damage everyone else. True, they do more damage, but they're also squishier, which translates into a shorter lifespan. A tank, with their massive hitpoints and overall damage mitigation, has a longer average lifespan, thus spends less time dead. It's also easier to get a heal to a tank in time. Squishier classes can often die before you notice that they're in trouble. And while you're dead, you can't do damage.

    It wouldn't be a fun fight but your DPS combined with your healer's healing and any DoTs he has would get you there eventually.

    If the DoKs go for your healer he can kite them whilst using HoTs, if they attack you your healer heals you and you whittle away their health, saving up your morale abilities for one huge spike damage on one of them.

    I think you've got it turned around. What Thansal means is if he (alone, witch hunter) goes up against two other players (healer and other class), he can usually kill the healer and get away from the other class - but not if the healer is a DoK, since those are too well armoured to take down quickly.

    I'm not sure if that can be taken as a general rule though. I've seen that scenario from the other side: Me (an archmage) and another friendly against a witch elf. I find that if I detaunt the witch elf (so I receive only half damage) and focus on healing myself, I can survive for a lot longer than it takes my ally to kill the witch elf.

    Lolf gets it.

    however the one that was really getting me on this was a lone DoK that seemed nearly impossible to kill, topped the healing charts and came close in damage every single round I went up against him. And it wasn't just my self having issues (I have learned to recognize when I have gotten detaunted and I will just pick a new target), I have seen 3 people going after him and still not dieing. I have also seen him drop to 3 people going after him, but you get the idea. Any class with 3 people focus firing on them should go down fast no matter who they are unless they have a team of healers (he didn't).

    I dono, people seem to be down on the DoKs for no good reason.

    They are a hybrid? So are all the healer classes!

    So, How are everybody doing?

    I'm personally spending my time as a witch hunter and a bright wizard on karak hirn, how about you?

    I will reroll a KOTBS when he is released this december.

    Couldn't find anyone to play with so let my free month run out.

    Fun game but with all MMOs you can't do much on your own.

    I noticed the new glut of games piling up so I crowbarred myself off WAR in order to work through them all. I'll probably resubscribe once I'm through them :3

    So far I've got through:
    Phoenix Wright 3
    Dead space

    Both of which were awesome...

    Currently working on / about to start:
    Unlimited Discovery
    The world ends with you (I WILL finish this game someday)
    Phoenix Wright 4 (Apollo Justice)
    Fable II

    Still on the pile:
    Warioland Shake it!


    I've got sonic dark brotherhood which I was going to work through as well but... ick... after playing it a bit I might just return it. The music is awful and the game itself isn't grabbing me :/

    Aaaaanyhoo... once all that's out of the way I'll probably be back on WAR, barring something else awesome turning up like Phantasy Star Zero on the DS or Monster Hunter 3 on the Wii :3

    I'm still not sticking to one toon... my magus and disciple are highest at 23 and 24, then I've got a zealot at 19, and a bunch of sub-10's. I love em all, though.

    I love how my zealot's healing can totally turn the tide of battle, though smart witch hunters can tear me apart... there was this one guy who would keep decloaking and stabbing me to death repeatedly and there was nothing I could do about it. was getting pretty frustrating - I would detaunt the guy for -50% damage and spam self heals and he still killed me in less than 10 seconds. I don't know how that's possible =x usually though, the other team is absolutely retarded and don't know how to target healers and clothies at all, and are content to wail on the tanks I'm casually healing all day long.

    I love my disciple due to her crazy survivability... I can survive with 2 people beating on me almost indefinitely... only thing that frustrates me there is the sub-ideal healing, which makes me go back to the zealot, but then the zealot's sub-par survivability makes me go back to the disciple... I do love being able to come out high in both damage and healing though.

    my magus gets more and more fun to play the higher in level I get, and I think it's probably the best class in the game for aoe grinding, but unless the class is tweaked it's just impossible to churn out the same kind of damage as a bright wiz or sorc. which is sad.

    Hit another wall of "look, you are on a low pop server so there are no PQs/ORvR, and not many Scenarios, so go do quests!"

    My level 21 BW has cleared ALL of the quests in HEvDE and EvC T3. This includes doing large numbers of scenarios and periodic keep raids (with no opposition).


    Leveling my RP atm. Hoping to get off the server soon.

    my advice from being on the other side of the gun n' rapier, is ambush ambush ambush, and don't bother with anyone but clothies =p if you go right into the thick of the fray, you're toast, but if you sneak around back to the healers and sorcerers, you can get at least one clean kill and run away, if not multiple... seriously, witch hunters drive me nuts. you just cannot get away from them, and they shoot for like 200 dps even at long range at level 20...

    free server transfers soon, apparently... if they're smart, they'll consolidate the servers down a little bit. it's sad that the game didn't take off quite like they hoped, but it's still much more successful a launch than Vanguard or AoC, so they need to suck it up and tighten the belt and consolidate servers so we don't have hour long queues and no one in our level ranges anymore...

    heheheehehehehehehee
    Just don't try and hide from the Sorc/magus/anyone after they have places a DoT on you. It doesn't work. I had a wonderful scenario FILLEd with Stupid Destro Tricks.
    1) WE trying to LOS me under a bridge in the damn (EvC t3 scenario). This doesn't really work as 1) they can't vanish and 2) I have friken giant numbers coming out of your head that I can see through walls!
    2) Destro nabbing the bomb and running to the wrong cap point (and making it all the way there).
    3) Destro nabbing the bomb, getting to the correct cap point with only me (BW) trailing him, only to run RIGHT past the point and into the rest of Order who finally decided to show up (it was a chosen, if he had turned and finished me off he could have capped)
    4) Same WE so insistant on killing me that they ignore the MDPS standing behind them WAILING on them after I detaunt.

    So yah, for WH/WEs:
    Play it smart, pick of the guy scrageling behind.
    If you haven't gotten dotted to hell and back, just book it.
    You CAN take down tanks. The trick lies in the fact that you have at least one attack that ignores armour (though it requires them to not pay attention to you).

    Kayenoh is my BW (level 27 atm). Btw, we are finally reporting to the Realm War site properly, so you can look up Mordheim characters/guilds.

    Monolith seems to be where most of Mordheim is going, so I think that might be appropriate.
