56/18
I have 44/37 at level 5...
which means im 3.5 physical points short so i might 2.5 armor or something till i have the traing points at 15 i have sufficient training points.

Thats 10/2 redux, i also plan to eventually get mana share first aid and some scroll and miu use, but im still looking for reasonable ways to boost the redux to like 11/2 that is sensible, i want a respectable redux warrior but not waste the tps and be a 13/3...

any comments?

At least single, yes. Bolt spells can and will fry you if you don't. reg

My warrior could take on TKs at level 30 in a group of 3 or so, with minimal spells. Using a maul(mattock base).

With one rank of ambush.

I miss the back 3 times every 20 swings, or so.

Being fully doubled in Combat Manuevers helps alot. It plays an equal part in the aiming equation when attacking from the open. reg

Bolt casting creature prepares a spell.

Also, having to be doubled in ambushing to use it effectivly is a crock of sh*t. To be a great ambushing hunter.. yeah you'll wanna be doubled. But singling will make you proficient.

Otherwise I'd say they would have to add a 3rd chance to train in ambushing for rogues/rangers. Kinda like hiding.

Make the ones that can hide, then make the ones that hide good.. then make the ones that you prolly wont ever see unless they are alot younger then you.

Also, I think training in ambush(as well as CM) helps you avoid others being able to hit the specified parts they target on you. Just a guess though.. kinda like training in picking pockets to help seeing people with sticky fingers.

reg

Why would they give a skill to someone if they can't use it... reg

And i guess the shield ideas a good one for only 2 physical points but i guess ill have to rework my trainin plan

thanks for input

I know open ambushing isnt something you MUST have ambush ranks for, but the ranks help tons.. I used a two handed voln warrior to solo in TK's from round 53-55 trains. Ambushed from the open with a claidhmore, and almost never missed, theres always that slight chance you get the parry or it just goes wrong. He was singled.

I'll be willing to bet by the time my current warrior is 53-55 trains, he'll be able to single TK's no problem. The only issue he has right now is that he can only take so many hits from them; in 23-25 more levels, redux and armor use will catch me up, I'll actually be able to use my warcries, and those shots to the head won't get me in nearly as much trouble.

My point was that my warrior can consistantly hit a TK in the back at 30 trains without any problems. reg

i want to do roughly this:
2x armor 1x shield 2x cm 2x 2 hand weapon 1x climb 1x swim 1x multi opp 1x percep 1x ambush 2x pt

thats 11/2 which looks good to me, i may pick up multi opp to 2x and be 12/2 but other than that im fairly happen. Any comments? reg
