In Reply to: this is very long, but needs read by all of you. especially with those of you who think thera is unbalanced or cabals arent right and such. posted by laerik on December 12, 1999 at 09:17:58:

> ok. I have read so many of these posts here and have gotten quite mad.
> There has been mention of imbalances caused by dawn empire and masters. I will say this as haveing a char in each cabal before, though never had a heroimm mainly because i never wanted to be, i can say alot.
> The masters scourge is not that powerful jesus christ especially to elves and drow, gnomes, and svirf. Felars it hurts because it is a fire type attack. You have to be smart. If you want a rager to fight against masters dont pick something that is easily poisoned blinded and takes massive damage to scourge unless you have a good way to keep them from it. As for roleplay they seek knowledge and so forth. Through their religions, mainly alot worshipping twist, they are more of a family in there than the rager village. All that life? is easy to take away too, keep in mind that they cannot parry dodge or shield block well. Except now for the conjurors. All the wands and invoker shields.. do not make that much of a difference either. granted takes alot more time to kill them, but just keep them from doing anything in combat, there are soo many skills for warriors thieves and assassins out there that can do that, you will eventually win from scratching and grazing them. Trust me i have went into combat with a master invoker hero with a felar with paws only and killed him. he had all wands and shields and they had the orb. There has been mention of the unbalance with the masters? all it takes is skill. One transmuter can rock a masters world. An assassin can kill the master without even trying with assassinate. enough with masters.

> Empire. Is reason i put this char name here. Empire is a political structure alot like our own in rl. Scary thought isnt it? They will grab at anything they can get, or bribe their way to it, or pay very handsomely. They are meant to be greedy and selfish. Haveing four different sects makes this even more possible. there is alot of rivalry between the sects, not as much as there was back in kah's time, but there is still some. I myself has caused a little anger between me and 2 different members of the blade sect. Why? because my char is a greedy selfish bastard. and you ask him this and he will love hearing himself say it. He has gang banged many people, and even killed a few people one on one. note. a fire giant anti paladin cannot tank well to save his life, not until his unholy weapon gets very huge and he has the life and damage to be able to tank for a while, so most likely he will be there with a tank and summon and have the tank hit him or if a thief or assassin strangle or jack. so i can gaurauntee the bangings will not stop. Recently i was with a group of 3 on the mountain in dwarf forest. We were targetting ragers.. me jerahl and vartal to be exact. ikiral kull something a bard, jhunal, and fayesheng came out towards us. I summoned jhunal and jerahl bashed. after 3 rounds jerahl was near dead, jhunal had only quite a few wounds on his body. all it takes is skill to defeat a gang banging. sometimes it is hopeless, but that is all it takes. note jerahl died, vartal was bard slept and i had to teleport away. but that is the fact of empire. BTW blades can no longer shove ragers into the destructor. the immortals saw that as being too powerful and have stopped that from happenning. the immortals do notice things like this.

> ragers. the most skilled warriors of thera. rightly so. I have never done well against a rager one on one as laerik. for some reason they always have a freezing weapon. grin.
> that does not do well against a fire giant. they have to be the most skilled. as a rager you have to have honor and courage, and have to be well skilled. they are always ganged and always being hunted by everyone but dawn and sylvan, even dawn hunts alot of them. so do sylvans. thier powers are the greatest of all cabals because of this. at least in my opinion. Deathblow helps greatly to take away many gang bangers. take 2 unspeaks in one roud i dont care who you are you are dead.. unless a master.. then it would have to be 4. they take half damage from blows and spells, and can see invis through truesight whether they have head or not. they have 3 different types now. cudos to the imms. they can heal now and heal disease and poison and truesight still heals blind.
> they have to have all this because of all their enemys.nuff said on battle.

> sylvans. guardians of the forest home. protectors of the wild. call it what you will. their job is to destroy the people who defile the forests, or are natural defilers. for such reason the plants aid them and create walls of thorns so their enemys cannot escape, the wilds can aid them with beast calls, and locusts swarm about the people they fight so they cannot magically flee. their skills keep the defilers from fleeing, or try their best to, so they will die. point blank. that is their role and all i have seen have done it very well. true there are only a few of them. I have been one before and have also killed them as many different cabals. thank you for at least not getting down to bad on them. because they are against defilers and such not many can be of the sylvans. those that are lawful cannot either because if a defiler is in the city he HAS to be killed there too. note forests are in the cities.

> dawn. well sorry, there is a cabal i havent been in. I do not want one of this cabal either. It is not of their powers, take a good look at them and you will find they are rather nice applied right. But if ihave a lightwalker i do not defend the light i enforce it. such as a maran. I have yet to have a maran either. heh. BUT. They are protectors, trying to keep the light alive, evil will die eventually, they are to preserve and protect the light. More will follow when i have more knowledge on them.

> Marans. These are the closest things to empirials.. i say this because they will kill at any costs to destroy evil, the main thing that seperates them is intent. why they do it. Marans too have enemys from every cabal. maybe except from sylvans.

> i hope this has cleared some things up with the cabals and unbalanceing of everything.
> to me it seems balanced enough. There will be times you want to delete. such as haveing gained 4 ranks and alot of hellaciously nice gear and haveing logged on and finding you back to where you were before from the pfile incident. POKE. but all that takes is perseverance.
> In the game there is a counter for everything that someone can do.
> learn the counters and stop complaining.
> YOU ruin it for alot of us by doing so.
> note the immortal of the scarabs left from the whines and complaints.
> nuff said?
