Bringing a little Varr to Thelanis

[Varr]

While greatly appreciative of The Dark Exiles invitation to guild, I have found over the past few days myself running with members from X and have moved to there guild. Appreciate both TDE's Invite and X's and look forward to running with new friends from both.

Welcome to Thelanis and to X.

It has been fun running with you, and that's key. You'll get to know my characters in the next few weeks, they are listed below.

You'll find many good players, and many good guilds on this server, and we are honored to have you join us.

I look forward to working with you, others in X, other ex-Xers (I'll explain that later) and others on Thelanis on opening the new content in Mod 7. Sigh, my monk will just have to wait!

[Clay]

oh my gosh!

Not X!

Now you will have to run with that gimp Hammer all the time! That guy couldn't roll a pure class if his Kargon's Ham depended on it! he goes to roll a healing cleric and ends up with a clr9rng6/rog1. He gets his Bard and thats a Brd7/wiz3/bbn4.

That guy is just crazy!



Well, ok, maybe I am exaggerating--but only a little!

But he is a good guy, and lots of fun. So, enjoy your new home!

[SamSneak]

Hey Clay glad to see you on the forums (and knowing your forum name if half the fun).

I like the way varr plays and I like his style, but you and X, our hall of fame contains a lot of players.

Someday I will roll up a pure class...its just so darn hard for me to.

[SkorriDarkbane]

Hey Varr.

Been meaning to post in here for a while..

Its been great running with you, you're a pretty bad-ass dude. If only we could bottle you and sell you as a house product.. He disarms, He firewalls, and he can Heal! Get your Varr TODAY!

[Uamhas]

If you're listing his attributes, don't forget that he is a real sweetiepie. And he laughs when I crack dumb jokes. That's about all I need to like the guy!

[Lcdr_Swizzle]

My real life brother Samsneak (where did he get that name!?) has infected me also, I admit.
My 15 Pally has one level of Cleric, but I do love playing him as he is ... (800 manna, 13 DV's, 4 Lay on hands!)
My 8 Bard has one level of Wizard, and the jury is still out on whether or not I like this.
My 9 Rogue, 3 Pally, 2 Fighter, is a mutt also, and I love it, I confess.

However, in my defense, and to prove I have a strong sense of self ...
My 14 Cleric is pure cleric, though tempted to take 1 Sorc for manna.
My 16 fighter is pure fighter, well, for now ... he is tempted to take one Ranger 'cuz pots cost!
My 16 Wizard is pure Wizard, and is not even tempted for anything else.

Now as to my Monk, Neowine ... I don't know yet.

[Varr]

Day 19 brings Varr to level 13.2. Key points.........up to 160 hp (with 10 for giant hold favor (1100 favor acumulated so far with no focus on this), improved false live ring, +2 con item, and the minos helm. 745 mana to burn now with a pop 5 tangleroot gemstone. Stats are now 12 str 12 dex 16 con 26 int 11 wis 14 cha with items on (+2 str, +2 con, +3 int, +3 wis, +4 cha) Got a +6 str belt I have found but unable to ah it yet, down to 100k plat and will keep pricing lower till it sells. Weapons of note, +2 tendon slice holy scimitar, +3 returning holy throwing dagger of enfebiling, w/p heavy crossbow, and my improved potency 3 scepter. Dragon marks heal for about 50-least, 120-lesser, 145-greater..........am finding I use the 8 least on myself and the other 10 helping cleric on fighters durring the nasty fights.
Currently dragon, titan and dq flagged. About 20 more relics for tor run which I hope to do at level 14 about sunday.
This character is starting to be able to power thru gianthold quests on elite thanks to greater hero and buff line, pretty hot firewalls and solid fog combos, and mass suggestions that land 70% of the critters it is cast on. Unfortunatly he is not quite as tough as I have been playing him, and have been dieing more than I should, so I will have to get back out of the front lines till I find a greater false life belt and con 5/+1 tome or con 6 item to get my hp in the 200 range. (You should see me play my zerg 16 sorc on Khyber........most of my solid fogs and firewalls are already burned out by the time the barbarians catch up!) So.....I have to tweek a bit my playstyle.......I porpously created a softie, to make me get back in the party, my extra mana has gone to my head a little and Im going to have to check Varr and reign him in just a bit.
Unable to spot, search, and pick locks for most of the level appropriate Elite content atm (normal is 100% and Hard seems to be 90% to the good.) Im mostly sitting on +5 items with +5 pics and a poor dex and int for the build. By level 15 I expect to have mostly +11 and 13 times and have a 18-20 dex and 30-32 Int, at that point the rogue skills should swing back into a reliable range for elite content also.
I poorly planned a von 5/6 guild raid at 11 est and had one clannie show up for it. I will be looking to run more guild raids and will have to adjust start time to acomidate more members. For me maybe the biggest draw to a clan is the ability to pull together reliable and comforable raids, pulling the first 8 of 12 right off the guild site, then pugging the holes. More to come!

[Varr]

Level 14.4 is here and level 7 spells at 13/2 are right around the corner. Perfectly happy with varr at this point. Instakill will be his challenge once finger and banishment open up next level, will see what he is able to do. Otherwise spell casting for buffs, cc, charm, and damage have been terrific. Done all the vale content thru hard as the primary rogue and rocking +11 items and have int up to a 28 (32 is target with level up at 16 and +6 item instead of 5 and +3 tome, or +6 item and 3rd teir enhancment and +2 tome)........have had no missed trapboxes nor crit failures.

Run reaver raid twice now, and got a shroud run thru part 3's conclusion last night.

Hp 168, mana pool 843, 28 int.......base skills umd concentration at 17, ol dd 14, search 14.5.

With the shroud came the loot...........found a smiting shortbow to trade with party member for a found +5 int ring (still untweeked.....will trade but in a realist type of sence of things), have +11 rogue items now, +5 mith breastplate and +4 light shield to alternate with the robe of invulnerability, Smiting longsword, +1 vorp khopesh of pure good are the best so far.

Items on my radar.........24 more black scales, +6 int +1 dc reaver cloak, Titan gloves +5 umd and -10 spell failure, Fire Fire Fire Shroud gauntlets for mana and +6 int skills, reaver ring for +4 cha/+10 socal skills, Dq torc, 3rd upgrade to my silver flame amulet, greater falselife belt, +6 dex boots, +6 con ring, compliment of tomes, superior potency 6 one hander, and Pos Pos Pos Shroud throwing hammer for fun.

So..........Reaver raid and preraid farming, titan (likey 20 runs for the gloves), shroud farming, and a bit o Dq coming up. Xp is just rolling and Im sure I will blink and be capped. Levels 8-12 were long for xp farming but 1-7 and 13+ roll.

[Dozen_Black_Roses]

Kewl glad to hear your shroud run went wll and you got such nice pulls If you are looking to run dq, look me up I need dq1 on suzee, gaelsong and deviliscious, but redhawt and shakkei are flagged for the raid. So we can get some multiple runs in . Although I would prefer to hold off on some toons til mod7 hits so we can get the new raid unlocked.

[LawstCawz]

Had a fun run on Ritual Sacrifice on hard the other night with several 14's and two 16's. My little rogue also got his 1750 favor shortly after that run. Cya around Stormreach.

-Ishmaul

[Varr]

Roses it is a date! I also have been holding off dragon run and dq (do need ot do dq 1 though!) waiting for june 3rd! Will be running reaver again on Friday and Shroud tonight and Saturday Im sure! Ishmaul, I have already added you to my rather robust friends list, cant get enough rogue animal killing machines in my parties! Your always welcome!

[Uamhas]

OMG!! Ishmaul was the Lost Cause? teehee.. I had no idea. Neatobandito dude... and Varr... yer great good fun, man.

[LawstCawz]

There's a Legion guy running around with a very similar tag, although I've used mine for a long time, just didn't seem to fit well for mmo PC's for me. But, if I know you in game, good stuff. And thanks Varr, I'll defenitely have to look you up again.

[Varr]

Bump.........I referance this thread a suprizing amount. Just now for the Ive just got to say thread.

For further update.......now 2 1/2 months in.......have clipped 1750 favor and have about 50 completed raids (3 Vision, 6 Hound, 12 Shroud, 15 Reaver, 4 Von, 6 Titan, 6 Dq.)

And Little Varr has truely found a home with IFV. Terrific guild on a terrific server.

[Uamhas]

Uma <3 Varr.. he would fit in her pocket if she could just get him to actually go in there...

[Ringos]

Note: Varr, if someone came up to you a while ago and asked if the armor made their butt look big, it wasn't me...

[Varr]

Lol, on lillis I believe. As soon as I saw that I was lookin around for your butt. Couldnt find it, so sent ya a fast tell and you had logged! Lol, the tell suprized me for sure!!! Little Varr is always getting himself killed.............find my way into alot of pockets, but prefer yours the bestest for sure uma!!!

[Ringos]

Nice running with you finally Varr...and I agree about Uma's pockets!

[Varr]
