Kintobor Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Are there any new quests planned? Hopefully that grants Bonaparte reputation? I've got some planned, but I want to wrap up one of the two I'm hosting right now. I've been debating about doing a Guild of Invision quest for awhile, but it's not clicking with me. I'm certain someone's got something planned. Quote

UsernameMDM Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Nice score in the Hall Asphalt! Talk about a FIRE SALE!!! Quote
Asphalt Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Thank you sir, Never know when they might come in handy. Quote
Kintobor Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) If you're going Shaman, you've already got two pretty good artefacts to build off. If not, sell them to Fabian or resell them in the hall at a higher price and you'll make a pretty penny. Nice find! Edited January 30, 2015 by Kintobor Quote
Lind Whisperer Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Nice score in the Hall Asphalt! Talk about a FIRE SALE!!! I'll say! That Tricorne especially, with two rarish gems for only 20 Gold! Quote
The Legonater Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Yeah, I became aware shortly afterwords I sort of undersold the Tricorn. Whatever, I'm not going to go back on a deal now, and there's plenty of other ways to make money. Quote
Asphalt Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 His future path is still up in the air. After the trouble with the Pestilence I think I might have him examining the power of poisons for a bit. Can't go paladin with only one arm. Quote
Zepher Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Witch would be a very interesting choice! Shaman I can see as well. Vind is a great character, very excited to see how a new class would change him. Quote
Myrddyn Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Yeah that's about 300 gold profit for Vindsval Quote
UsernameMDM Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Yeah, I became aware shortly afterwords I sort of undersold the Tricorn. Seeing that those gems used to sell from Elphaba for 100 each... Quote

After the trouble with the Pestilence I think I might have him examining the power of poisons for a bit. Can't go paladin with only one arm. Shaman's a really solid class, and Witch is also really fun. You've got the goods to go into Shaman, but if you're wanting Witch, the Witch's Talisman is a great place to start a build. Quote
Asphalt Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Witch would be a very interesting choice! Shaman I can see as well. Vind is a great character, very excited to see how a new class would change him. I am glad you are enjoying reading him. I have been thinking more about witch than Shaman. After being poisoned three or so times and losing an arm to it, It is something I want to explore a bit. Shaman's a really solid class, and Witch is also really fun. You've got the goods to go into Shaman, but if you're wanting Witch, the Witch's Talisman is a great place to start a build. If I ever have the cash the Talisman is definitely something I would grab. I need to look more at the Shaman. Are there any current characters playing that class? Quote
Flipz Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Erik Tyvarr, I think? Think he switched, though. The Shaman of Shamans was Haldor Skovgaard--look him up in the Archives and read everything he's in, he's great. Update coming, 118-ers, it takes a while to type up all this loot. ... I am so glad you did not roll these numbers during the actual battle. Quote
Kintobor Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 The Cleric advanced classes are really varied, so it really depends on what kind of role you want to play in a party dynamic. Witch is focuses more on debuffing enemies and is more or less the one class every QM hates due to special mirror. I've gotten Endgame so many times with special mirror to a point where it's a running gag. Shaman is more healer oriented, with some really nice damage output and a really nice Shield. Although if you want to go full healer, go Druid. Roots of Life will make you the life of the party, pun totally intended. Quote
Asphalt Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 ok first, Haldor is ridiculous. Just the first few threads I found with him were epic. Second, I want him to be a fairly rounded character able to pick up a party, but to also deal some punishment in defense of the weak. I want to keep that noble streak in him as long as situation allows. After my first quest I was leaning towards paladin, but the second had me looking in a different direction. I want where I go with him to make sense as part of his story. I have read a few class changes that didn't make any sense to me and i don't want to get that feeling. So we will have to see what happens in the next adventure. Quote

Remind me again why I thought Druid + Docken was a good idea? I jest, druids are awesome, they let QMs be even more evilly deadly than usual with enemies. Quote

Myrddyn Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Yeah Erik changed classes, so he was only Shaman for one quest, but I think he was the most recent shaman. Nerwan was one for a while, too. Healing: In my opinion, Shaman gets nine or maybe even ten out of ten for healing. It doesn't have Druid's removal of negative effects or revival gimmicks, but in terms of raw hitpoints restored, Shaman heals the most out of any advanced class, even more than Druid, due its shield skill restoring full health to the allied party, as well as its extra-critical heals. Gimmick: Shaman's big advantage is its endurance. Natural respite or Restoration heals you after each battle, and in addition to that, due to the Meditate roll and the lack of ether cost for the shield skill, it ties with Paladin for the lowest rate of ether consumption of all the ether-using advanced classes. Tanking: I'd give Shaman a five or six out of ten for tankiness. It can't use a shield, but with +9 base health it ties with Black knight and is only beaten by Berserker and Paladin for most health out of all the advanced classes. Barbarian and Cleric are probably also the two classes after knight with the best access to SP artifacts. Damage: A lot of people say Shaman has good damage output, but I disagree. I'd only give it a four or five out of ten for damage - it beats Assassin, Druid, Paladin, Warden and maybe Witch - four or five out of fifteen advanced classes. Yes, it has Extra-critical hits, but any Ranger class matches that with Aim. If the enemy has SP, Extra-critical hits means you don't factor in the enemy's SP as often, but on the other hand a Ranger is more likely to spread weapon effects. The Shaman's shield skill does damage, but this damage depends on the rest of the party having low health, and again the shield skill doesn't transfer weapon effects, and it isn't affected by elements or (I think) Encouraged. Actually, since you're coming from Cleric, it's probably the second hardest-hitting advanced class available to Vindsval after Sage. Gear: The Shamanic plate doubles the damage of the shield skill, and gives a small Ether and HP bonus, but it takes the bodywear slot, so you can't wear the 5 SP Heavy Armour with it. Personally I'd recommend the Heavy Armour over the Shamanic Plate, but if you're keen on doing decent damage and decide to go Shaman Erik has a Shamanic Plate he'll sell you for 75 gold. Because you only have 1/3 chance of actually hitting your enemy with your weapon, weapon effects and elements are not as useful, but since you use WP for healing, that is still important. You shouldn't need as many tonics as a Cleric, since you won't burn through ether as fast, but depending on how you play it you'll probably still need some. Barbarians don't need bedrolls, but I don't think you have one anyway. Quote
swils Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Chiming in, I really liked playing as a Shaman. Reminded me heavily of the EQ Shadow Knight. You really do bring a lot to the table, as Mryddyn covered above. If I hadn't felt strapped for coins, I probably would have stayed as a Shaman until I got access to Dragoon, rather than switching to Raider. Quote
Chromeknight Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Yep, Nerwen was a shaman for a while. I enjoyed it. I chose it for roleplay reasons though, Druid was too cliché, Witch and Sage were out so that left Paladin and Shaman. Coming from Cleric, it depends on what you want to add to your role. Cleric is a support class, if you want to do that and revive -Druid. If you want to hit things more -Shaman, if you want to tank through battles -Paladin, if you want to have fun with poison -Witch and if you won the Grogmas event and have six or more gems burning a hole in your pocket -Sage.

KotZ Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 126Questers, I'll have the thread up after my class in a few hours. Hope you guys have fun on it and good luck! Quote
Zepher Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 The Zeigfrieds just can't seem to catch a break. Furniture, frogs, grown-up-boys, and now dolls. Quote
Lind Whisperer Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Will Puppeteer ever become a class, and if so, what will be the requirements? Quote
