> Have you ever noticed that when people see power in one certain area, they try to copy from one person that started it? Well I've noticed it. yes, this is true > I just noticed this becuase I've had my major form (tiger) for about 140 hours now, enough time for everyone to get familar with them. I've noticed many other offensive major's lately. Ok, this is completly wrong, there were way more offensive forms previously. > Like when Matraien first started using his major air form, there were so many air majors running arround right after he died. well this is true, but remember that Matraien was around the time that flyto was implemented. > Then when Myntulli, probably the only felar to use polearm was winning fights and posting them, there were more polearm specs, as well as him using hand to hand skills. Who? > When Oroxazrian became a lich and was a succesful killer, there were a bunch of necro's after that. All liches are powerful, but Hvitlok, Viscrinth, Golmagus, Istendil, That scarab lich and Zorszaul are better and more people played spectres previously than now. > Then after Palan got his axe built up, people thought all a-p's could do it, I've noticed many ap's arround. Yes, this is true. > There are many others, I'll just give brief examples. heh, thats funny :P > I looked through Dioxide's logs from way back, Malciah started a mace and sword spec. And became succesful with those elemental maces and boneshattered people then switched to swords half-way through the battle. heh > I see nothing wrong with people following in others footsteps, but there are hundreds of combinations out there that no one has tried yet, I can name a few, and perhaps you'll try them? > Warrior stuff > Human /staff and spear spec Alot of these make poor warrior, try to roleplay their unquie aspects while getting killed more than normal? > And you know what, try using an Empowerment class, I know Shamans could be the most powerful killers in the game if they wanted to be. They can never be the most powerful killers in the game. > Also for the Transmuter.
(no offense to orox, he improved alot with his char, good on him.)
> Then Gelkof was doing extremely well, and I've noticed three other elf battle ragers.
> duergar /dagger spec
> Arial /axe spec, find two light axes, I'll bet they do really well.
> Elf /mace spec
> Fire /hand to hand spec, I might try this one myself, hand to hand as primary.
> Gnome /dagger spec.
> Try using a major water form, they are by far the most powerful, no joke. I debated on major offensive and major water, but I took minor water instead. Give it a try and find some really exotic place that no one else can get to and go and rank there.
