> opponent #1 Palan > Ok, now let's go over what you'd have done to Palan in the same fight, if you had the best gear possible for you. Full set of felar gear, Darkened, arkham signet rings (or similar), wide coppers, etc. Now instead of scratching him the first round, you MUTILATE him. Then he kills you. Now let's look at what happens again when you have a full set of gear. Spellbane's chance of stopping sleep is going to MAYBE bit a bit better. How do you kill him? You attack first, and use drive to get him away from his zombies. If you can keep him lagged, (you WERE a hth spec, so you can to some degree) you will do much more damage than he does. Eq would help. Eq wouldn't help as much as when you are 35th level and could kill him in a round with a full set of nice gear, though. > opponent #3 > Same thing. Um, lag him? How does having eq change any of the things you've mentioned so far? > i have two words for you (FUCK YOU) I have four words for you. He's right, you're wrong. > and the point here is to kill the other guy Don't get me wrong here. Gear is better than no gear for a rager warrior. But does it mean as much at hero as it did at level 30? Not a chance in hell.

> Given all your rager powers.
> Palan is spelled up.
> how do you kill him smart ass??? HUN? who is the fucking moron now
> round 1 you scratch him, and he takes down half your hp.
