Sarlona Fighters (A Tip)

You guys just got manipulated into chasing him to the pvp :P He's probably bored and wants more challengers.

PVP means nothing if you cant play the game!

I've had my share of the grind. Capped a melee, capped a caster (PvE spec but LR'd to PvP), TR'd once and recapped. It was very boring and the pugs don't make things any funner. At least PvP doesn't interfere with my ADD and if I get bored I can stare at a wall and wait for new people to come in.

If you're a 20 Fighter using melee and don't have 7 Toughness feats you messed up.

Does anyone else agree with me on this? If not, why?

Because I would like to take at least these feats:

Power Attack
Improved Critical
Weapon Focus
Weapon Specialization
Greater Weapon Focus
Greater Weapon Specialization
Superior Weapon Focus
Two X Fighting
Improved X Fighting
Greater X Fighting
Stunning Blow
Quickdraw

Which leaves room for 6 x Toughness.

I would consider Oversized Two Weapon Fighting for dual wielding and lately I've been pondering if it's also worth taking Sap.

Either way, that only leaves room for 5 x Toughness.

With 5 x Toughness, you could be sitting at ~700 unbuffed HP, which could be buffed up to ~800 sustainable HP for tanking situations, which IMO is adequate.

My feat breakdown would also be something like this:

Buff chests

Buff chests

I heard if you lift weights you can get a buff chest.

I much prefer first 12.

You make yourself apply to your own LFM? Ouch.

Dispel Hon can I give you some advice one Troll Diva to a Troll in training? It is never good to state your opinions as facts even if your just trying to get people to agree with you. As someone who has yet to cap a fighter I cant even try to agree with your logic though I doubt I would worry so much about taking 7 toughness over being able to kick things arses. Most of my melees are more focused on killing stuff before it gets me down and I find plain fighters still a bit to boring to level but even I know that there is more to a fighter then just taking a bunch of toughness feats. What about being able to you know do damage? All those hps wont do you a bit of good if your only tickling your enemy with your weapons. And as other's have put my clerics would not be impressed by anyone who sacrificed dps just to have a lot of hit points.

I say play around with builds more come back in a few years maybe then start talking like an expert. Right now all this is doing is making us shake our heads and waiting for the next "nerf" thread.

If I myddo'd my characters I'd kick most of them.

Hehe thanks and I made it sober so no slurring or typos this time

[Dexxaan]

Sober??

What have we come to?

[Darkrok]

Sober??

What have we come to?

I make all my posts sober. 2040 times in the last 2 years I've been sober enough to type something coherent on a message board.

Obviously I need to drink more.

I'm waiting for the OP to try to switch out one of those stacked toughness feats...

...or did they already fix that bug?

HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAAA

This is almost as funny as my coworker's pants tearing in half right down the crack today.

Almost.

[Hendrik]

Thank you for showing me the error of my ways. I shall be rerolling my Horc 18brb/2rge that only has 550hp's. Ignore the fact that he has 50+ UMD and is very self sufficient. But he only has one toughness feat and a couple of racial toughnesses. Kind of hard to manage 7 toughness enhancements with all of the Half Orc racial attack and damage bonuses. When I rolled that character I thought it was more important to kill the enemy very fast. The sooner it dies, the less damage I will take. Not to mention the UMD to heal scroll myself and everyone in party.

Thank you for expanding my knowledge as to how a character should be built and played. I have been doing all wrong.

You fail because you PvE. Now go TR and make your character the 'right' way and you too can stand in a pit and stare at a wall.

Chop, chop.

That's the funniest thing I have read/heard all day!!!!
Bwahahahahaahahaaa

Beat down a lvl 5, stare at a wall. Beat down a lvl 2, stare at a wall. Beat down a Sorc/mnk, stare at wall...
Naah, I think I prefer to tank Horoth or Sully.
I am, however, still perfecting kiting the blades in part 3.
