Combo n stuffs

[Nyoga]

First off - Only respond to this post with EXACT stats and eq. Str/Dex and % practices and then post a list of what eq you have and what def/ob you have. Then your comments on why or why not that setup is good.

I'm trying to figure some stuffs out, and wanna see your opinions on the different types of light/regular/heavy combo. And if it really does suck as bad as i think it does.

ok, physical stats: 19 19 20
pracs: 99 dodge, 99 axes, 95 sparry
abs: 31%
Wimpy: Offensive Bonus: 171 Dodge Bonus: 108, Parry Bonus: 177
brave: Offensive Bonus: 181 Dodge Bonus: 106, Parry Bonus: 162

Its a good kit against abs because I win lots of tied bashes and has a really high damage weapon, but I have to berk to land bashes on channies most of the time.

[Nyoga]

Have you found that the 31 abs absorbs enough to even make a difference? i didn't notice much when i was combo, and it just seemed like a waste of time.

Medium combo is way better than light, light combo means you are still wearing a few dodge pieces which leaves that part of the body vulnerable. Also have to consider no matter your def someone always has a 5% chance of melee hitting you

Oh, and 44% abs. So I have more Str, more dex and 1% abs more than Obould, but I can't figure out why as I am wearing what I thought was the same set, unless his clan gear is something different.

I should have significantly higher db than him even though he had agility (I have 20 dex)

Whats up wit dat?

[Obould]

My shoulder wear is based off gold pads, not spaulders.

Weight of weapon might also be a factor, how much does your master weigh?

[Barf]

when I had strip/heron belt I was pulling like 113 db brave and won almost all tied bashes in 2 abs fights. I might try the medium combo though, it looks really nice.

[Nyoga]

Master weighs 14.2 lbs. The weight should be a bit offset by the str difference though. It could just be the fox spaulders making the difference too.

[Obould]

new stats

Offensive Bonus: 166 Dodge Bonus: 96, Parry Bonus: 164
44% abs

I switched from worm belt to polished.

[Obould]

Master weighs 14.2 lbs. The weight should be a bit offset by the str difference though. It could just be the fox spaulders making the difference too.

str doesn't affect db, only pb.

[Nyoga]

I believe fogel changed other things though. Str should have a direct affect on how much your overall equipment weight affects you.

Hrmm, i'll check out polished belt. i think it is supposed to be better.

[Nyoga]

I'm not fond of the polished belt. For one it's 1 lb as opposed to the worm belts .1 lbs. Worm gives 2db 2pb and 32 abs. Polished is 1, 3 and 37.

Due to what I believe is the extra weight, I only saw 1pb increase in my set. No abs % except for the innate 5% extra on the belt that won't show up in stats. Will that make a big difference? I guess we'll find out!

[Racyn]

persally im a fan of the fench fires n quarrel poundre combo

wen i eq its 1 lb n -10db LOL
