As per my previous post, where I've listed the classic BGs with their level ranges, we'll be planning our specs for each maximum level allowed per BG. So our first planned spec will be targetted at level 19, using the Character Builder linked in the first post of this thread.

Scrooge - Mentalist, 17 Mana 6 Mentalism 4 Light (L19)
Vorhal - Animist, 14 Arboreal 12 Creeping (L19)
backman_66 - Eldritch, 16 Mana 10 Light (L19)

One thing that will need to be considered by folks as they do their specs is autotraining.

Genesis employed the "new" system where everybody gets the autotrain points by default without having to actually autotrain but I believe Uthgard used the old system in its previous iteration. The question is, which way will it be going this time?

It's an important thing to consider that differs from class to class and build to build. Doesn't apply to some classes at all, is arguably not worth doing for some, and is arguably vital for others.

Info on Auto Train: http://uthgard.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=65&t=13665

Hopefully they go with the new system where you get the auto train points for free. The old auto train system was incredibly dumb and made the game suck if you were min/maxing an auto train class.

So p99 group will be hib? You can sign me up as an eldritch. Played a wizard for alb on live. I think eldritch is closest thing to that right? Very interested in this.

[backman_66]

Yeah eldritch is the closest thing but has a lot more utility.

============================================

I'll match the roles needed to the ppl in this thread, based on their initial class choices, so we can see what we're missing more than anything else.

Realm: Hibernia

Primary Healing: Weekapaug (druid), Zade (druid/warden), dustysr06 (druid), Tramtrist (druid), Temig (druid)

Secondary Healing: backman_66 (warden), phacemeltar (warden), Lyrith (druid), Galfon (warden), Kvasir (warden), Laberintica (warden), Golad (warden), Vorhal (warden)

Primary Crowd Control: dustysr06 (bard), Weekapaug (bard/CC), Nuggets (bard), August (bard)

Secondary Crowd Control: phacemeltar (bard/CC), Lyrith (bard/CC), Temig (bard)

Primary Bomber (caster dps): fishingme (enchanter), nalkin (enchanter), jaxon (eldritch), August (enchanter), Hershey (enchanter), Kyndig (eldritch), Tewaz (enchanter), Oleris (enchanter)

Secondary Bomber (caster dps): phacemeltar (eldritch), backman_66 (eldritch), kender (eldritch), Galfon (enchanter), Amnvex (eldritch), Kvasir (eldritch), Morgo (eldritch)

Primary Shield Tank: Ghordo (Hero), August (Hero)

Secondary Shield Tank: backman_66 (Hero), Galfon (Hero), Kvasir (Hero), Vorhal (Hero)

General Melee DPS: Ugrask (blademaster?), Zade (blademaster?), Zade2 (his friend, blademaster?), fishingme (valewalker), Scrooge (blademaster/champion), backman_66 (blademaster), , Foxxhound (valewalker), Erasong (valewalker), Amnvex (champion), Kyndig (blademaster/valewalker)

Utility Caster DPS: fishingme (animist), Scrooge (mentalist), kender (animist), Nuggets (eld/animist), Galfon (mentalist), Amnvex (mentalist), Beldon (animist), Laberintica (mentalist), Vorhal (animist), Temig (mentalist), Sweetbaby (eldritch)

Stealthers: Brynnag (nightshade), Cecily (nightshade), Yiblaan (ranger), Morgo (ranger)

Potentially we can have the following: [5x Bards, 3x Druids, 3x Wardens] [3x Enchanters, 5x Eldritch, 2x Animists, 2z Mentalists] [3x Heroes, 5x Blademasters, 3x Valewalkers, 1x Ranger, 2x Nightshades] but seeing as how we can't all be in one group, it'd be good to know that everyone in the guild can XP with each other without having to resort to looking for PUGs or soloing. For RvR especially, atleast 1 Bard and 1 Druid per group are needed, but 2 Druids would be better ofcourse, 1 Warden, 2-3 DPS and 1 Shield Tank for defense.

I cannot say what we need most at this time, it will become clearer once we're actually up and running with our first chars.

You've said it so well on that other forum, I'll just use your explanation for it here.

If you've never used IRC before, it's a simple chat-room kind of server, stands for Internet Relay Chat. To get the windows client, go to www.mirc.com, it's a fairly straight forward setup. Once you setup your nick/alias (use your p99 forum names for now, so I'll know who's who for the time being,) do /server irc.rizon.net, then /join #fury. You can even register your nick with a password so that no one can steal your name there and we'll always know it's the real you, syntax is: /msg Nickserv register passwordhere emailhere, then you'll get an email with a confirmation code you'll have to enter and that's that.

I'm sure you've played the game long enough to know that not everything always goes the way you expect it to, it's not that black & white, there are many random factors involved - especially on a server like Uthgard doing a 'refresh'.

I've also seen plenty of groups in RvR which have failed miserably, even when they had CC and plenty of healing, teamwork is what it's all about - that's the way I see it.

As for your question regarding Auto Training, I personally don't think it's that big a deal, unless you're seriously contemplating leveling without the skills and abilities you'll need the most - when you have no money, no gear, and no crafting whatsoever. Just for the sake of answering your question though, it will most likely be how it was before the server went down, using the old system.

I had no question. Skill and other subjective factors being the same, healing and cc win this game.

Hib is the best choice of realm for those things. I was agreeing with what you are organizing here, dude.

And yes, like EQ, I've played stupid amounts of DAoC since the day it went live.

idk about hib being best by any means..
