The KGB Oracle Forums The KGB Great Hall of History (ARCHIVE) Darkfall Members Forum COMBAT SPECCING - ALL READ

While this game certainly promotes character diversity, which is grand - I am going to ask all of you to try to COMBAT SPEC something to 80+ over the course of the next week.


Whether it be 2H, Archery, Greater or Elementals etc Magic + good damage or Heal spell, or 1H+Parry (Though everyone should work for 50 parry ASAP)


Sieging will be coming soon, and having one area of skill that is very high, combined with good matching equipment will be much more effective than having many skills howering in the 30's and 40's

Eventually many of us will end up with many different skill types and diverse characters, which is good. But in the short term, I am asking everyone to pick a discipline they enjoy doing and are good at and work it first until it becomes end-game effective.

Thanks!

No problem, got 4000 mats for my earth magic? :P

Just kidding.. I will probably try to get 1h+parry up. They are at 40 and 30 right now.

I'm sword and board, but my stats are pretty weak, and it's not something that can really be macroed.

I recently posted a sword and board macro on the repository, rev. I just need someone to test it with. To run it though you need a 2nd person running its complimentary macro.

so to help out, if your not doing anything in game, leave yourself afk at bindstone and tell people to beat on you.

Definitely melee polearm.

However, unless I can get someone to macro heal while I macro stabbing someone for hours on end over the next week, it will be impossible for me to get above 50 in melee that soon. I just don't have the hours. Ironically enough, macroing minor-spell-casting and mining is a lot easier.

Even a plain polearm spec needs lesser magic at 50 for Mana to Stam (it's clutch) and mining and lumber jacking raise base stats which you need

Yeah crim, don't worry so much about the main skill (although it clearly helps to have it as close to 75 as possible) Strength also plays a huge role in the damage you deal as Dunlop said.

Honestly it is gonna be really hard to do 75+ weapon skill for a lot of our members in one week. Heck even our more dedicated players will still have a hard time with all the other distractions like farming building materials, etc.

Best way is to get people out killing mobs 10 hours a day where your hitting non stop or head to the bind stone and macro each other all day long!

It took me almost 2 hours non stop hitting a person to get 2 full points and this gets slower the higher skill your at.

Yah, I've already been macroing mining and magery. My lesser magic is already at 35 or so. I'm just saying that my main skill (polearm) is going to be more difficult to increase because it requires a physical target over an extended period of time (and I won't always have a lot of time).
