Geomancer gas doesn't smell to the one who makes it.

And yes, probably mage would be the best way to go. Druids cudgels arent too great...

Torak, your example does not show how much damage I did to you nor what your max health was at the time. It just shows how much you sip for (706), which is really not that bad considering that I sip for that amount as a merian or mugwump (3169 max-health).

3240h, 3240m, 2880e, 10p elrxk-
Max with fortuna, if you want to staff me sure. I am not saying you are not a better fighter, its obvious you are. I am merely pointing out that all you have to do is staff me and I am dead.

All Torak's example shows is he has Thorgal's system. Everyone seems to, these days.

Biggest problem with a mugwump ebonguard... interesting idea... is that you have no method of bashing... oh wait I'm wrong you can use knightkiss (pun intended )

But other than for bashing, you can only do backup as a coven member which might get boring if you don't have circle (pun intended) of friends set up first.

Go Blacktalon or Mugwump ebonguard...

Do realize however that night will give you added stats on weapons, but those weapons will be useless to you, however as a shadowdancer, you will need a bit more credits to invest into nature.

I think your best single guildskill would be Aquamancy, Geomancy, or Nature.

how much damage does nightkiss do? If it did much, maybe I could emulate terenas's merian serenguard...

you can only do it at night shryke... I dont think you really want to go down that path.

I'd agree that some sort of mage or druid is the way to go. You need some skill to use it really well, just like anything else, but a small amount of skill and practice will get you farther with a demesne than with any other combat skill combination.

Plus, Terenas needs his trans Athletics skill as well or he's stuck with merian strength and health. Like everyone else has been saying, a mage or druid is best.

well, with that in mind, what race would go well with a mage... I have always liked furrikins, but they seem like they are sub-par, especially with speed softening. On my list of races that I would like would be, human, furrikin, erm... anything else that is not extremely untanky, yet still somewhat intellegent...

Heh, not the best choices. You should probably go the race that gets the specialization for each druid or mage class. Others just may not cut it.

Merian Serenguard is one of the worst combo you can pick, seriously. Unless you can invest in Resilience and Athletics, you're going to be walking punching bags against Elemental knights or Aquamancers.

Furrikin are actually not that bad now. Speed softening was recalibrated so we now have a speed advantage that actually exists in any form other than one measurable by a cesium ion clock, we have small size, slightly higher CON than a merian/mugwump/whatever, not crappy INT, and good magic resistance. The fire penalty isn't much to complain about, either.

wait, that changes a lot of things... are mugwumps insane now? I guess it must have been changed, thorgal isn't complaining any more :0 still... That sounds good, what about a mugwump nihilist/celestian with trans celestialism/nihilism using quickining amissio and wrack/ the other insta kill... That sounds like it could work to me...

I'd recommend Celestine. Absolve > Wrack.

I think that is perfect, I could afflict with archangel, while draining etc...
I will probly create in like a week, so if there is something I should look out for someone please tell me...
On another note, it's gonna suck to bash huh, untanky and cosmicfire is messed up now huh...

I think they fixed Cosmicfire. I could be wrong.

Alger, the nightkiss attack can be done at anytime, as long as you have the defence nightkiss up, which can be only put up at night.

And the reason I said aquamancers, is that for the least lessons, they have the best offense, i.e. their staff.

At higher ends.. most other classes become more effective than aquamancers though, elemental knights, tritrans guardians, wicca defence, geomancer demesne, etc. But with only 300 credits, you're going to enjoy aquamancer most.

Last time I checked, Terenas was kick pretty much everyone's ass as a Merian Serenguard. Those rapiers are far from useless.

I suspect that's because he's really good, though. Wait until he's an Aslaran, see if he kicks even more arse. :/
