Alright, so, I made it to astral on my own for the first time. I have five or ten of sierus' artifacts, I'm surged, deffed up, etcetera.

I find a goat. I attack goat. Goat kills me twice.

I'm healing with health and sparkleberry, clotting like mad... what am I doing wrong?

You're not a faeling, are you?

powerhouse

He's human. No idea what you're doing wrong, but welcome to the club

Seriously? You're dying? O_o What's your level, health, race, weapon stats, and armour like?

The astral beasts are buffed up, I can't tank or kill a single one either .

Ooh, yeah. I forgot. >.<

Is it true they do about 1000 damage per attack, now?

I'd check for myself, but no Nexus = no getting to Astral.

Muha, pathetic mortals. I say hooray for the "change" to Astral, it's much better bashing before, it wasy to easy before that. I can take 2-3 of the buffed bulls at a time, or fesixes, or whatever else.

I died to a SINGLE urn when I switched to "aha, I'll kill this while I link twice more before I call Kaervas instead of just healing constantly like a good boy"..

That was humiliating.

That goat woulda been dinner if Alger was there or not .

You poor, underpowered Moondancer, struggling with having the weakest class of the game, we all feel sorry for you.

Actually, it doesn't really matter the class. Just be a dwarf, get constitution food, get a life blessing, etc. and your set. Ur'Guard is the tankiest class overall by far.

Please note Tuek's might and number of artifacts.

Why should we? It's not like anyone non-Warrior uses that rationalisation for the amount of damage we are capable of doing.

RIchter, I told you not to die. There were 6 or 7 goats just hovering around the Megalith. YOu may not have noticed more comming in.

Tuek has no artifacts that contribute to his tankiness.

He's a blessed level 80 dwarf with con food, TFs most of the time, drawdown, the sip bonus that a philosopher's stone gives, etc etc.

Wow so many inaccuracies, I don't know where to begin!

Level 76, never have had a truefavour in my existance in Lusternia, and who knows which artifacts I may or may not have? Don't you love item customizations?

You strike me as the sort of person who wants to show off about his artifacts enough to not customize them, Tuek.

Actually, I kept most secret. The Gem for example, I had since it was available, and told myself I'd only use it while off plane (away from scries, so it wouldn't be known I had one), though that didn't last long. After repeatedly having to tell Murphy I was "borrowing" it, I gave up, and told him I purchased it. In general, I prefer to not say what I own.

But if anyone cares to look at you, they'll see.

Because you're the sort of person who needs to qualify expenditure by other people's envy of its results.
