Shattered Kingdoms

I use telnet, so no colorz for me.

I do appreciate a log of a group of six PCs taking on Ephialtis with no mercenary and no barbarian. That's not something you see everyday.

It was quite fun, but god what a long trip. Seeing trag and chenji get locked in that door for a short amount of time was hilarious for some reason. Had a lot of fun on this trip, from Moorbs bad attitude to just finally getting a fresh grasp for pve again since my 5yr break. Was really worried we were going to fail horribly so fleeing into a safe room for rez seemed like a good idea, sad I didn't get points for killing him. Luckily Trag, newb and drale pulled thru and saved the day. GG

I full party wiped on him two characters ago. It sucked.

Yeah, I was pretty surprised it worked, tbh.

If the sorc in the group wasn't part of a specific cabal, I don't think that group of 6 would've been able to do it. Probably wouldn't have even been able to beat the 'mini bosses' leading up to it.

Swashbucklers....really need something for PvE.

Like, SUPER ENHANCED DAMAGE and SUPER MEGA PARRY that only works vs NPCs or something. I mean, those are obviously terrible ideas, but I just dunno how to buff them for PvE without breaking them in PVP. For PVP swashies are fine, but PvE, there is just no situation where a merc/barb wouldn't be better.

I mean, I'm not playing one, so it doesn't matter to me, but it's kind of sad how lackluster they are in PvE. They do less damage, tank worse, have to be in the front row, and don't have rescue in comparison to Merc/Barb.
