Cetus: The Supreme Bladeforged Fighter

[goodspeed]

Ya it is kinda idiotic how they spent a freaking TON of time messing with and remessing with armor (Sadly they never flippn fixed docents fully) to make ac somewhat useful and even more so to make heavy and medium armor useful by implementing the mrr and prr system. And it worked. So well that you were an idiot to even go for evasion you just slapped heavy on, got your extra mrrprr in gear and shrugged off element dmg and traps.

Course monks being the sole class that got the finger whined and the MRR was taken off (Didn't fully kill it though because a 3 pally split or fighter with a shield or med/heavy or both can really stack the hp with prr and MRR not to far behind)


However after all of that they come out with reaper where your gettn blasted without even going for 10. And so a 28 or 32 or even higher dodge equals more chances to stun or mow something down. And so begins the great journey of the pajama mamma once more lol.

Why even have the fighter levels? Just go all monk.

It's the funny truth. Bumping just because it's as good or better than the rest again.

Teh_Troll is rolling in his grave.

[Cetus]

You mean Teh_Troll died?

Other than a lack of AP (9 Racial AP would have been nice on a BF), it really wasn't that bad until R4+, then it was horrible without a wizard, arty or another Bladeforged.

Under the original enhancements spread, before the current tree setup, I liked Elven Displacement shadow-marked 12 Kensai 7 AA Ranger 1 Wizard when the slayer arrows was 500 damage on vorpals. I would melee twf and then clear room with IPS manyshot.

Once enhancement trees came out and needed to spend hard points on displacement (instead of feats), shadow mark really lost a lot of its value, especially when it changed to self cast only.

Of course, this build quickly converted to furyshotter with slayer arrows, but has been in limbo since.

Ah maaan. I have a char that (attempted to) use this build years ago, and was all like "OMG there's an update to this thread??" when I saw it on top of the list...but nope, accidental necro lol.
