Ah, so you finally admit bleeds go through passive defense eh?

No, I was being sarcastic saying it sucks. It's actually a pretty decent combo.

For example last night I disco'd when game froze overt in Bestine. When I logged in I heard combat music, but 'player ready' wouldn't check. I bailed out and tried again. More combat music. This time I got in the game - to find myself being attacked by two adult rancors and a pistoleer. My character auto-killed the first Rancor before I could even do anything. Then I killed the owner and killed the second rancor. The owner was a bit upset. I had been standing in my armor, half buffed when this went down. When I told the owner I can solo ancient bull rancor lairs while armored and buffed he just kept saying 'wow, that's just wrong.'

With master carbine - nothing beats KD from beyond lunge range to hit kiters.

I also got master brawler yesterday. I didn't think +5 speed and accuracy would make much difference, but it's noticeable. Warcry 2 and intimidate are good. Berserk2 sucks.

Oh yeah Nash I picked up a 181 - 656 ph also from a friend who sliced it then bought it off the owner. Muahahaaah!

Don't get organic chemistry 4 for selling stims. If you need money you'll make WAY more money by getting scout + hunting 4. As a swordsman you can simply rake in the kills and harvests, then once you learn how to price animal harvests you will make bank.

That's what I've been doing so far, but it's not as wonderful as it sounds. The market for organics is glutted - everyone and their brother is selling bones, hides, and meat. On the reverse side, I only know of about a dozen solid public-sales sources for stim Bs on Chilastra, and most of them don't even come close to being able to keep up with the demand...

>Ah, so you finally admit bleeds go through passive defense eh?

I never said bleeds don't. I said dizzy/KD doesn't go through counterattack.

Those awesome stim-b's are coming from high-level docs. If you need more info, send a PM to DecayBlade and he'll tell you how it's done.

As far as the market being glutted, yes it's glutted with garbage and grinding material. What you need to go after is the good stuff. Avian and herbivore goes to doctors, domesticated meat and carnivore go to chefs. Wooly hide goes to armorsmiths. Talk to friends with these professions and learn about what DR, OQ, PE, SR, etc. that they want. Good quality materials are always in demand. I made a lot of money off the absolute best stuff. With sword you can harvest very, very fast.

Heh, and I'll tell you one thing that's for sure. If I came up against a pistoleer/fencer, I guarantee I would win. Niether us us could really hit each other, but I could smack them with an unhealable mind bleeder, which goes right through their dodge. All they could do to me is give me a health bleeder, which I can heal with stims, lol.

Actually if you ran into me you would have been taking a dirt nap, since there are ways to bypass COB. Nobody has realized it yet but ill give ya one hint its a brawler skill that makes COB fail everytime. Oh and its not warcry.
