u can check the bug forums, but main hand bonus damage is effecting bow shots

its only VERY broke and powerful when a weighted axe is used

making the minimum hit on any bow 100+ faster the bow the better

paladin would not be able to keep up with that

Tune what about a paladin with a fast bow? Unlimited DPS + unlimited health seems good? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] If I didn't retire to mistmoore I would be interesting in trying it

im not trying to build up sk that much they are just normally more useful

toe to toe slugfest with CE and all the pally heals and abilities they win pretty easy unless they are HEAVILY outgeared, and i mean kunark vs bis velious

Man I really appreciate when you guys weigh in like this. I know the server has been light but the knowledge sharing is treasured gold and also something fun to think about while at work.

Jeni regarding the bow thing, I think the issue is that the super duper slow delay of the weighted axe has an significant impact on the bow damage right now, and a paladin can't use that axe because its for the big boys only.

It would have been cool (and appropriate) if dwarfs were considered large race when it comes to things like throwing boulders, and weighted axes. But oh well.

salem kicked some serious ass on master blaster....i swore he named him after the stevie wonder track that's lit but he said no. he dropd sk's on his pally. even with the bow shit id still give it to a pally over sk and i had like 1000 pks on sk's. just depends on the player

Paladins make up for low str by being the good guys and not being ogres.

I guess a pro ogre player that didn't become soft and lazy for their slight advantage would have the upper hand.

But you can't ever underestimate a paladin or elf who truly believes in themselves and their cause. I have seen, and been the elf winning against trolls and ogres, despite overwhelming odds and gear, class advantages.

Got both troll and ogre sk and war kills under my belt in vanilla and kunark. So it's clearly possible. Never underestimate your own skill and determination. Good overcomes evil in Everquest.

You got this backwards. Try equivalent gear. No gimmicks, arena death match.

How will the sk win? Hiding with invis and trying to meditate for lifetaps?

I killed an sk on my ranger. With the crappiest of gear and points in AGI. They even had the benefit of IVU and unrest castle, but they pressed the attack on the ZL thinking they had me.

Honestly think a paladin will have the easiest go.

BLOODSUGAR > TUNES SK'S

i keeld all of u bwahahaha

sk lifetaps do damage, lots of debuffs, pal heals are long casting time and pal targets himself, the whole time sk is dpsing , the paladin has to stop offense to heal

pal loses everytime pre pop, after pop paladins get overpowered heals with faster casting time and crits + 2 LOH
