Hordo's How-To #1 => Piking Your Way to the Top!

[shagath]

Excellent OP, +1 rep

[Clayness]

Thanks for that...

A TRUE piker would only have the items and abilities on his hotbar that he started out with in Korthos!

You are correct sir. However if you want to pike your way to the top...cap a toon and perhaps even "lead" raids (i.e. send your clueless minions about to do your work for you) it behooves you to alter the gear you wear by the fruits of their labors. In doing so your MyDDO page will actually look awesome, whilst you sit back and enjoy a nice single malt.

So far, this is my favorite post I've ever seen on the forums.

+1, OP. +1.

a new way to pike: piking by proxy

I was just in a raid with Hordo and he actually killed something. Too good to eat yer own dog food huh?

It really isnt piking unless you actually watch the party complete the quest.

Yes, it was an unfortunate occurrence. It does happen from time to time that I get bored with the forums and then kill something in-game.

Thanks Hordo, this brightened my monday conf calls.

I remember taking your lvl 4 Pali through shroud. I do believe that pesky Misadventure beat you on kills though. One day you'll find that guy.

You might want to rename this post "Zen and the art of Piking Mechanics"

The original post's rules to piking seem like they require the player to essentially be there the whole time and do nothing. If Im gonna pike I may as well be making lunch and reading, cant do that if Im paying attention to what others are pulling from chests.

[Willibold]

Hordo........we are not worthy!

[Battlehawke]

Too funny!

Pikers are way overpowered!!

[sk3l3t0r]

Loved this thread!!!

Well, to be sure I did this piking guide as the first of a series. For the past year I've been doing in-depth research on the art of End-Game Raiding from the Wal-Mart check-out line for a further update.
