For Higian's amusment.

[Lokison]

There seem to be two main ways to build fighters.

It appears that Higian build defensive characters that deal small amounts of damage over time while the enemy is unable to hit him thus winning the fight.

Other players go for all out damage monkeys hoping that they can deal damage faster than the other guy.

I though about it and built this build(no details )

at level forty standing naked this character has these stats

STR 27
DEX 13
CON22
INT 16
WIS 8
CHA 13

AC 25 Hp 580
BAB 25
highest AB 34
Damage 1-3 +8
Fort 28
Ref 19
Will 24
Alignment Malefactor (50,0)
DR 24/-
Devestating critical Greatsword.

Hehe what do you think? it will take a while to build and it has 0 room for error one skill point, stat point, or feat taken at the wrong level causes the whole thing to collapse.

And since DR, DRe, and DIm Stack once i get ahold of some items for him he is going to be a lean mean tank of doom.... at levels 38-40

[Higan]

um, Lokison, i don't think i do little damage, i can do over 100 without a crit

[Lokison]

one word

Monks....

Just wondering what classes are you taking?

[Lokison]

Bard/RDD/DD not in that order of course

and higan Is your abnormaly high amounts of damage due to server items or due to your build. I'm talking about designing a character "naked" then adding on items you may aquire on the server.

(Name)(Dice)(Average Damage With crits)

i build w/o magic and items first then tack on anything i find as a bonus

[Rastan]

Now it would be wise to decide on the equipment you'll use. Afterall, the equipments determines how well you'll do on HG

[Lokison]

aye, while i tend to personally disagree with highend magic items(prefering to make items that work in more subtle ways, slayer knows what i'm talking about ;D ) I do understand the use of them and am currently taking an inventory of items to see which weapon will receave the devastating crit chain of feats
