Kintobor Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 And without poison? Depends, really. Mystic Knight is very heavy on tanking. They've got okay damage output too, but it's a very heavy tank class. Evoker's more AoE, and it's ability to summon can be very helpful. Again, depends on what you want to play. Quote
The Chosen Minifigure Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 What's AoE? ... ... Awkward silence. Quote
Scubacarrot Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) Area of Effect. It means that all enemies are affected, basically. Edited February 3, 2015 by Scubacarrot Quote
Myrddyn Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) Personally I'd go Mystic Knight, though Evoker might redeem itself somewhat when used as a scroll mage. Mystic knight has SP, which is a big boost. Evoker has access to ranged weapons, but then a Mystic Knight has access to broomsticks, and spells and scrolls ignore row anyway. Aim/Enchantment Evoker has Aim/Spell Aim, which is cool. On average you roll 4/Miss/Aim/Enchantment once every 6 rounds, right? Aim means you'll hit for usually about 30-60 extra damage over those 6 rounds, assuming you have a 2x elemental modifier. On the other hand, every Enchantment roll increases your WP by 1, and over 6 rounds you'll do damage = WP an average of about 10 times, so after an average of 6 rounds your damage for all future attacks with that weapon is increased by 20. After an average of 18 rounds of battle, assuming you had enough ether for the average 3 rolls of enchantment, having had the Enchantment roll will now be as useful in future battles as the Aim/Spell Aim roll. And it gets better from there. Enchantment costs loads in ether, though. They have different Shield rolls too, but they're hard to compare. Summon Burst is weaker than Magic Burst, which is a basic class Shield. An active summon boosts your damage a bit, and you can use it to do a little bit of damage while you're reading scrolls. Mystic Knight's shield hits an average of 7 times. Compared with Battle Mage's Shield roll for a control test, and not considering elemental modifiers, Mystic Knight does more damage against 3 or less enemies, and less damage against 4 or more. Battle Mage's Shield roll is definitely one of the harder-hitting shield rolls. If not the strongest. So basically, Mystic Knight does a nice amount of damage. Bear in mind, though, you can always change advanced class between quests, so even if you don't like the class you chose, it's not that big a deal. Also I think possibly Kintobor meant crowd control, not AoE. (Crowd control is basically dealing with crowds/swarms of enemies. Sometimes shortened to CC.) Edited February 3, 2015 by Myrddyn Quote
Zepher Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 We're sorry to bring this up in public, but we can't contact Endgame about it. Quest 105 has been in the same battle for a month. Even assuming Endgame lost his power, that was two weeks ago now. I don't think power went out that long for anyone else in that storm... We don't want to bail on the quest. But we do want to finish it swiftly. Is there a way someone else would be willing to run this final battle so that when Endgame returns we can just post a conclusion? Quote

I did run a round of the battle a few days ago and PM'd it to him to try and help him out. I could post it if it would help, but I don't want to take responsibility for the rest of the battle, since I'm already trying to wrap up 118 as swiftly as I can. Quote
Zepher Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Yeah, maybe we could get a rotation of QMs. I know no one wants to commit, and it's a very complicated battle as it is, but I think it's at least almost near over... I don't know. Hopefully our frustration does not seem irrational. Quote
Scubacarrot Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 If Flipz posts the round he ran, I'd be willing to run the remainder. The battle should be over fairly quickly, from the looks of things. I'm afraid I don't have any actual final bosses up my sleeve though, so there you go. Quote
UsernameMDM Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 I'm afraid I don't have any actual final bosses up my sleeve though, so there you go. What about final final FINAL bosses? Finally? Quote
Peppermint_M Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Okay, so on a series of events which involved hearing Ron Perlman say "I'm Batman." I got to thinking, and no this is so not urgent or questy or anything, just fun: Who/what does your character sound like? Do they speak with your voice as you mentally 'hear' their words or do you have a known voice artist or actor in mind? Quote
Zepher Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 I would like to proceed that way if everyone else is alright with it. If we absolutely NEED to backtrack when Endgame gets back... well, that'd just be done, but I really hope that's not the case. He's totally stranded us, so I can't say I honestly feel too guilty. Quote
Emjajoas Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Worst-case scenario is that instead of going back and implementing all those mechanics, Endgame can write up a paragraph or something detailing them all in battle-- or something to that effect. It's just not very fun to be in the same battle for an extended period of time when there were ways to avoid it. I can definitely understand Endgame wanting to do the final battle himself, but...

Flipz Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Dammit, this F****ING EDITOR! :mad: I have the dice rolls, but the party stats got COMPLETELY screwed when I rolled for aura generation. I'll take a couple screenshots (since I have the original open in another tab) and post what I do have, but Scuba will have to fix the stats, sorry guys. By the way, in case it's not completely obvious, I HIGHLY suggest we move to a new text editor if we can, I've had it up to here with this one's shenanigans, even in plaintext mode. Quote

Seconded heartily. Every time I try to make changes to my signature, everything jumps around, and any attempts to fix it almost always make it worse. Also, while Endgame is away, here's some temporary dialogue for #105: "Fëär më, änd mÿ mästër plän! Whïch ïs sö mästërful, thät ëvën ïn thë üttër dëfëät öf mÿsëlf änd mÿ mästër plän, thät ït ïs stïll äll ä pärt öf my mästër plän!

joeshmoe554 Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Looks like you just need to cut the section from [/bons... to ...rd)] *Fragile! and paste it at the bottom of the post. Most of the rest of the post is fine. Quote
Scubacarrot Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) Looks like all the Heroes need to do in Quest 101 is kill off the tail and then enough damage to finish him off. I've improved a bit on your formatting, Flipz. Edited February 3, 2015 by Scubacarrot Quote

Someone else taking over the battle is probably the smartest thing to do, although if Endgame does not return soon, the quest will have to be cancelled - nobody else can post the ending for him, after all. It would be a total bummer for his long line of quests to end like that... Who/what does your character sound like? Do they speak with your voice as you mentally 'hear' their words or do you have a known voice artist or actor in mind? I can't think of a suitable actress right now, but I've always imagined Ellaria having a sweet and calm voice, not high-pitched but not very low either, with a hint of a southern state accent due to her country girl background.

If the quest does end up being cancelled, could I submit for consideration a brief ending(not the real ending, more of a joke placeholder), to explain the cancellation? Quote

Zepher Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 It would be particularly annoying to not have an ending after seven months. Story-wise, I'd rather we write an ending. I don't want to be disrespectful to Endgame or other QMs, but I feel that the players are owed the reward/a story finale after that much work. Quote

In his more 'normal' moments, I picture his voice sounding a bit like my voice, just a little deeper, with my manner of speaking(think Jay Baruchel), and in his more 'serious' moments, (e.g., almost all the time now that he's a Black Knights, sans the joke about line dancing), his voice drops to more of a Hugh Jackman.

If an actual ending is written, I'd love to help out with the writing of it. Quote
