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. > > Same thing. > Um, lag him?

But does it mean as much at hero as it did at level 30? Not a chance in hell.

Well, for one thing, I would kick his ass, well that s not true, but at least i stand a chance.
Second thing, instead of him, devaste, demolish.. etc.. it would be Mangle or Masscre.
Third, of all the times I fought Palan, hit/dam ave 20, AC 190, it sucks
when i had my best gear, i managed to do damn well, got him to bleeding wounds, then he fled while Yagar and Tamuera stayed and fight
Yagar fled later, Tamuera died, and Palan came back perfect health and killed me, while i was alone (all the time) defending
Where were you, i wonder.. hm.. that s right, like most people, they either quit or just aint there.
Try Dismember, I did, well, his aura, or shield did fall.

Yes, I did that, the problem was i had no gear... I had 4 pieces of gear, since Palan justed killed me that day
He was lich already, he had an invoker with him.
I was fighting both of them and shit loads of zombies.
I almost killed the invoker and he worded... It was done to the lich and zombies.
I drove them left and right, lag them i did, he was bleeding like a pig, but always manages to flee and goes to the zombies and summons me.
the driving the.. crushing blow, Pummel starts all over again.
Mean while, Nesam, is plagued in the shrine, with negative movement, Kitratik died, still a ghost and still could have sing some songs to help me, but he did not.
other ragers were watching, Esach or Lecrucious were around, they said i fought well, and i did.
But the point is, if i had more gear, the lich would be dead.

> > Geyser, Nova, unspeakable things, what the fuck do you do?
I have, they still get those damn spells in.
every round i scratch them, they get one spell off, and its like unspeakable things...
Given Transformation, and allll the spells, you have to lag them for oh.. like 1000 rounds scratching them, then you can kill them
I have perfected most of the skills, and we all know they dont connect all the time, 3 unspeakable things, and i died...
Yes, i still think Gear matters.
Instead of scratching, I would still Multilate and Dismember at best.. and it would help if my hp was 1500 ( with darken stuff etc )rather than 900 ( with red dragon and stuff)
well, you are as wrong as he is
> > dont tell me to flee or stun the guy
Yes, tell that to those people.
For my next rager, I hope you and Takashimi would give me your gear when i die, since gear does not matter to you both that much.
I am sure Takashimi would love to give me his darken stuff, a wasp blade or two and other goodies
