Without any shield use, you're going to have a rough time with bolt spells. reg
I was going to say the same thing. ::grins:: Warriors are able to triple in shields. You should double train in it at least. reg
Hmm 2 handers need shield use? reg
Ooof.. nevermind. You're right. Shields wouldn't help if you're not using one. I stand corrected. reg
What i really need help on is trainin plans, right now i ok cause i have just a little less then i need to do what i want, but i gonna have a surplus of trainin points soon and want to know what would be most advantageous for a similar warrior.
Thankyou reg
Ive decided to start singling him in multi oppenent and triple him in armor... cause i dont plan taking multiopp past 5 focuse swings 32 rt or whatever it is, is frightening enough. So im going to try to make my new trainin plan like so:
3x armor(being a two hander i want to try to get in plate as fast as possilbe)14/0
2x cms 12/9
2x two hand weapon 12/3
1x climb 4/1
1x swim 3/0
1x multi opp 5/2
1x perception 0/3
2x physical training(my reasoning for doubling is to regen blood faster which is important while getting nicked all the time)6/0

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?

I'd personally say any decent warrior needs some ambushing skills. 40 ranks minimum. I like to single in it at the least for my guys..
heres two of my young ones skills..

(at level 7), your skill bonuses and ranks are:
Skill Bonus Rank
-------------------------------------------------------------
Armor Use : 74 [16]
Shield Use : 102 [24]
Combat Maneuvers : 74 [16]
Edged Weapons : 74 [16]
Swimming : 5 [1]
Multi-Opponent Combat : 40 [8]
Perception : 40 [8]
Ambush : 40 [8]
Physical Training : 40 [8]
First Aid : 15 [3]
Brawling : 74 [16]
Mental Training Points : 5

will be fully singled in climbing and swimming later in life.. having to double in them to catch up. Will be 12/4 or so..

(at level 6), your skill bonuses and ranks are:
Skill Bonus Rank
-------------------------------------------------------------
Armor Use : 93 [21]
Shield Use : 66 [14]
Combat Maneuvers : 66 [14]
Edged Weapons : 66 [14]
Swimming : 25 [5]
Multi-Opponent Combat : 35 [7]
Perception : 35 [7]
Ambush : 35 [7]
Physical Training : 66 [14]
Mental Training Points : 2

Same here.. will try and be singled in climbing and swimming later on.. This un was rolled after the mangler was changed so he has alot less training points. reg

Thanks for the advice, but the only thing keeping me from doing that is the rumor that anyone not doubling in ambush will regret every trainin in it, and i dont see my self actually ambushing things mstrikeing someone 3 times with a claidhmore will almost always kill it unless its like a pyro or your gettin crappy rolls.. Its definately a viable path its just too risky for me, i dont really want to have to reroll again cause i wasted the points reg

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

Have fun with troll kings.. <wink> reg
heh i hope my travels dont leave me there for at 53 i want to join voln, then hunt bonespear for some trainins with spirit spells. if that falls through just the rock, and what are the strategies behind using a shield while hunting? it seems to me if im caught in a round time im dead anyway cant manage to pull the shield out... 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.
>remove my shield
Bolt casting creature casts.
>wear my shield
>attack bolt casting creature reg

I base everything on solo hunting.. I dont hunt in groups often anymore. If your 2 or more friends are there to help.. everything is much easier, faster and safer. 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.

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

Forgot the part about Rangers only being able to single at most.. They don't even have a chance to double.

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

I still dont see point in ambushing if i gonna be a mstriker.... the only time id use it to my advantage would be tks which i dont necessarily need to hunt everything else i can focus a few mstrikes and kill everything.

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'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

Alright after a lot of advice from friends and boards i changed trainin plan again..grin

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
