Does my wizard have enough HP?

[jcTharin]

you can never have too much hp. period. I don't care if you evasion and 4 digit hp. Get more hp, because hp is delicious.

bonus points if you can make the cleric or FvS give up half way through healing you and you aren't even a Warforged.

Oh yeah! Don't have Exc Con +2 either.

Uh...off the top of my head...
18 base
+7 item
+2 (?) tome
+4 lich form
+2 ship
+1 exceptional
+1 human
+1 Litany
+2 Rage
___
38 (+14)

80 wizard levels
280 Con
20 heroic
10 agents favor
40 SFL
45 Shroud
22 Toughness feat
20 Toughness II AP
20 PM III
40 yugo pot
___
577

still don't have:
20 +2 exceptional Con
20 Toughness blue slot
10 Toughness III AP
20 +4 tome
___
647 is the most I could get I think, but I'm never going to bother with the exceptional Con +2 or Toughness III.

guess i'll have somewhat near that on my evasion caster (non rogue) thanks for the con thing it help big time

I wanted to change my race to Human in my next life because I wanted the the extra feat, but I really dont want to lose the extra +1 con and +20 HP for only 5 AP. I think I will stay as a half elf and swap greater spell penetration to quicken spell in my next life, as I will have two wizard past lives giving me enough spell penetration.

Something I also realised is the following:

On a Dwarf you start with +2 con, but enhancement wise +2 con costs 6 AP, and +40 HP costs 10 AP.

Whereas on a half elf +2 con costs 4 AP, and +40 HP only costs 6 AP, plus another 10 HP also possible for another 3 AP for racial toughness 3.

Fleshy Arcanes make me giggle.

Run faster and try harder to keep up ;-)

I will miss people having cocoon; thankfully I'm near the end of my run of sorc lives on my traditionally fleshy caster type. Nothing like someone 2 rooms behind you throwing you a "thank you for zerging and completing so fast" cocoon.

Cleric or Druid next set I think.

Actually I disagree with the exageration part. While it is fully possible to build a Drow wizard / sorc with decent HP, the number of people who do this are a very small number of Wizard players.

I always keep on getting not only Drows, but other wizards too with under 120 HP over level 12, and they always end up dead.

My second to last such team mate was a level 9 wiz / 2 monk with 114 HP, 650 SP, and only 16 INT (He had his points something like 14 str, 18 dex, 12 con, 16 int, 14 wis, 16 cha, and was nothing but fully confident that 20 buffed INT, and both his HP and SP were fine for an archmage, and that I only had an extra 200 odd HP because I was a pale master), along with a level 12 FVS with 154 HP. Both of them did nothing but keep on dying throughout siegebreaker and I had to carry them all the way through the whole quest, by when I got annoyed and left them at the end because we had 0 chance of winning unless I bled my fingers like crazy in the last battle.

After that I got a level 15 drow Wizard with 12 con and 122 HP, who I kicked right away because I was grinding LMP with just me and a very nice monk with absolutely no healers around. I got a PM telling me that I was the most rubbish caster ever because I said '122 HP isnt enough for a level 15 wizard, bye' and kicked him / her, after which I felt like making this thread.

I've also had two arcanes in the last couple of weeks since I started playing the game again with 8 con unbuffed and around 50-60 HP by around level 8-12. Absolutely none of them want to listen when I tell them that their con isnt enough and I dont like playing.

I normally specify 'No low HP gimps' in my LFMs. I'm not too bothered about playing with new characters as I havnt actually played the game for very long either (I usually play for only a month or two, get bored, then come back after 6 months for a few weeks). But I cant stand people who refuse to listen to simple advice from other players, I always listen to advice from other people who know more about the game than I do, and it didnt take me long to realize how important HP is.



Theres a screenshot with my character stat page showing my HP, 328 at level 14 buffed with +6 con using Bears Endurance and Rage (no +6 con item until I use my vorne's belt at level 18).

I see the problem now. You've been gone for a long time and come back thinking you still know everything. You realize that HP is useless these days like AC was 2 years ago....noob. :P
