Thread: My template
This template is a lot like mine though, so good work.
I've been a TKM for a while now so to be honest I don't really remember life before a bunch of melee defense that well...I can say that it does seem to make a big difference in tanking. My BH friend was very impressed by my ability to tank a canyon kryat with only infrequent healing (buffed and with 80% kin armor of course) while he would be hit for almost 2k with armor close to mine on when he got too close to heal me...granted that was probably one of those back pocket hits kryats like to pull out, but still... Despite this I have yet to get to loot a kryat as every time a punk commando come by on his speeder and lets me tank as he stacks up flames on the kryat...Master sword can do a lot of damage but without a viable bleed I can't even touch a 3k burn dot... Really, I've become a little dissilusioned with my template lately... The whole point was to hunt kryats once I got my jedi so I could keep him in pearls...but it seems thedirect damage I can do as MHS just isn't enough to outdo the DOT loot thieves out there, and that makes me a sad panda... I'll probably have to end up as another 4-0-0-4 TKA, 0-0-4-0 commando, and smuggler for feign if I get too low...though I hate relying on DOT instead of direct damage because it seems too much like cheating...I didn't say it was cheating (so cool your flames commandos), I just said it feels like it to me... I have only been heavy sword a couple weeks though, so I don't pretend to know all the ins and outs...maybe it's just my approach...(I still haven't fully removed my TKA approach of special spamming, though I have gotten better.
) I'll give it a bit longer since I do enjoy it as one of the more tactical combat profs I've had yet...I so wish that besides damage done being taken into account for loot rights, damage taken was too...or at least a formula to make direct damage worth more than DOT for loot rights. Ever since I went brawler (I was an evil BH and more evil commando) I've had this strange sensation in my hind quarters while fighting large mobs around hybrid combat classes... Half the time I get buffs and good armor just so I can serve as a tank for someone else. Please people, don't mistake me for your new graul mauler.
Well, I wasn't that crazy about the game at first. I played Ultima Online for nearly 4 years (still have the account). I found playing in 3D to be very disconcerting to say the least. It took me a week just to get used to it. I only started playing the game because of my best friend who started the week it hit the shelves. He nagged at me until I yielded. I really planned on cancelling the game after the first month (been playing about two and a half weeks) but it has sort of grown on me. While it is a science fiction game, it does have a bit of a fantasy feel to it that appeals to me on some level. There are some things that I don't like about it such as the excessive dependence on other players. That is why I am trying for a template that is at least somewhat independent. I really like to solo. Originally I was going to be a Master Swordsman and a MasterCreature Handler and put the rest of the points in Medic. Iwas't crazy about dragging monsters around to fight for me.
I think that I am doing alright so far. I have Swordsmanship at 3/2/3/2. By the end of the day, I am hoping to have 3/3/3/3. Yesterday I was 2/2/2/2 when I started soloing on Dantooine. Iwas mainly going after savage quenkers and huurton howlers. I had little trouble soloing them in pairs. I could also take two huurton howlers and two huurtons at the same time. I didn't think that Iwas ready to solo picket and bol lairs yet. Since I picked up some extra Melee Toughness, Damage Mitigation 2 andsome Defenses versus Dizzy, Intimidate, and Stunwith the two new levels I acquired, I might give the pickets a whirl. Yesterday when I was 2/2/2/2 I did solo a single fierce picket protector (the ones that are aggressive) and I edged him out. I know that he is a good bit tougher than the regular pickets, so I am figuring that with the added defenses, I should be in pretty good stead when I try to solo picket and bol lairs. If Ifind that I amgetting trounced, I'll just go back to huurton howler lairs andsavage quenkers.
