I think that's mostly gear; especially it's your core stats are ok AB mid-60s and up. AC... Well AC doesn't matter on BSK; you're gonna get hot by the mobs unless your up in the mid-/high-70s or higher and have concealment. My go-to gear usually involves 15/- s/b/p combat gloves. Those help a lot. I...

I just stumbled on it the other day but I wasn't able to enter because of the level cap.... I will soon though

I've never leveled an pure paladin if that's the core of your question. I've made 2. One Archer one melee. I am about to build another wm/Pali because of a sword I found that seems like it will be a fun weapon. I know several other players that use Pali as an important component of their PvM toon. B...

Not gonna lie this post worked its way into the TL;DR category. Lol I think paledin actually do ok for themselves on BSK. DM is very powerful and the fighter and progression is worth note. Additionally, spells like blessed weapon are meaningful throughout the leveling experience as well as end game....

Only recommended swap... Well 2 actually: Reward should be party based; if any by-kill maybe a 10% bonus max. Leave the bulk of the bonus to an Xp bump. That way those that do AOE level slightly faster but don't dominate the store :) With regards to the store.. I think stones are a bad call. maybe h...

Sounds like a great event, I think Sway needs a raise Driller. ... But only if you kill him first :twisted: Seriously though. Thanks for putting the coding edit into bringing this together Driller! Sway, I'd thank you but you pay yourself on the back enough. (J/k - thanks for driving the fun events...

Thank you, Driller. Speedy!

Love Kaz to death; but her Smite kill stealing has been a bit out of control of late. Would it be possible to have those air to ground smites attributed to the PC they were called in for?

Thanks for that tweak, Driller! Much appreciated.

I have a mac (poor life decisions). Multi-boxing proved to be a royal pain in the butt. I wrote a script to solve the issue. The general premise is I have multiple files named <username>_cdkey.ini (i.e. itchyfunk_cdkey.ini, itchierandfunkier_cdkey.ini; running the script (included below) copies thos...

This is really a party support build. The -5AC cursed song is very useful for some end-game bosses and she has good DPS; so she doesn't stand around like a tool after singing. That said, this is a very fragile toon and is intended for party play. Unless you're really comfortable with archers; I'd no...

Right now it seems to only really amount to a lot of extra running when you're encumbered and need to sell gear. The scroll drops you off in the Maiden, which is the way it was about a year back. But the book used to allow area transition pretty reasonably. Now the only decent solution is the recall...

Would it be possible to have the Town Portal book still hit the main areas as you get them: BSK, Boarder march, Oasis, Dwarven, and Skyhaven? I sort of like having all of the TPs drop at the maiden because it makes exploring the server fun when you're new to the server. But having those main drops w...

or several other builds too: AA, WM, even a sneak (flat-footed AC for the win). Still, not worth that hassle most of the time. Do what Cornflower suggested: kite her to a corner and ditch her mid-cast. Also, get NEP from something (wand, isaac's robe, Shadow Shield pots etc.) . That will help with t...

Was actually toying with the idea of a bane boss build but talked myself out of it because I thought the boss DI would basically negate the damage leaving the AB as the only upside. Figured WM was still a better way to go in that situation. The extra sneak damage makes this interesting.
