HEY THATS NOT FAIR!...

I have a log somewhere where Icarus hit me from 2030 to dead! first hit was 2030 to 900+ then second hit killed me... and i have no lightning weakness... HMPH

If you afflict with a hit you do extra damage as well.

Like when it cuts your thigh it does about 50-150 (for me an aslaran) less the hitting the artery.

how about tae'dae ur'guard, how do they do?

If they go bonecrusher.. they put the bone in bone crushing...
Shryke2005-03-10 23:22:05
that doesn't really make sense...
can anyone give some plusses and minus's? for example can ppl put rebounding and shield up before I can raze again, because thats sorta what I'm worried about...

Taurian axe blademaster. Effectively the same strength as Tae'dae, a good bit faster and I can already take off about 1400 health and 20 wound per blow combo with dwarven axes. Once I get good enough axes, and trans combat, things should get to be even more fun.

When I was a Taurian, I could get to 18 strength, 20 when enraged but it lasts for less than a minute and it requires a 2 sec balance to put up. So most of the time I didn't bother with it. Whereas a Tae'dae can get to 21 at all times, with bear, geburah and flex.

You get blademaster affects with axes? or are you just bashing with them?

No, just wounding damage currently. Not sure if blademaster does allow for axes or not, I suppose they are single handed cutting weapons though.

Oh, and it seems that Enrage lasts longer the more you remain in combat, sort of on a timer. I've kept rage up for about 5 minutes through constant bashing.

I would only suggest going Tae'dae if you want you RP being the strongest race, not if you want to do the most damage, because you will be dissapointed.
Shryke2005-03-12 01:14:24
wouldn't most strength=most damage? (Also how is the lev 3 faster sipping, bucause thats one of the main selling points)

most strength doesn't mean most damage. Compare aslarans and tae'dae. Aslarans hit twice as fast (or just over twice as fast with nice hammers/rapiers) as tae'daes with doing well over half the damage. Thus, tae'dae are better for the initial swings, but shortly after aslarans do more damage per unit time- all the while afflicting more with venoms

It's true. My swords are not very good on damage but I still do almost as much damage as people with far better swords. (In a group hunt, it also means I take more damage, since critters hit whoever hit them last and that's more often me than anyone else, which is fun.)

Tae'dae are more about being able to take a lot of damage than deal it out.
