could some be brought in game? This game really doesn't have the capacity for these smobs that take many people to kill. I would love soloable smobs that load decent stuff. When C&G were taken out noone really cared because all the good stuff was maxed out anyway but with this new creation of lances people that want to test it out on ls can't really because not enough people are ever online.

(The mob you have to equip really doesn't count because i don't want to lose equipment to gain little. I'm not even sure you can smob with just that mob either)

I've been thinink about this, if you want to solo smob these days you need to equip both mercs in perfect sets, and if a troll happens to walk in on you all they have to do is type k danir or k woman and boom, bamm, magic they have a full set and you are fucked!

A few of us have been saying the same thing for months if not years, we need soloable smobs, each smob should load 1 piece of nice eq on a low %.

ls
Let's look at smobs atm, torm loads dung, aiel loads dung, dhoon loads a cutlass which is semi dung, supposed to load a glittering which now sells in a shop, and shimmering stuff on % when its not maxed (dhoon is not soloable with mercs btw) hl loads buggy vials, a dungy axe and club. mal loads daggers which are dung because the thief class is dung!
Yurian loads a golden shield but is impossible to kill without C&G.

ds
scout loads armlets, chunky rings, golden shield, dark leggings, onyx, black rings, cloak, and more that I cant think of atm.

dung I tell you dung!

dung

You forgot Garwin for ls.Torm loads black spear. And Yurian doesnt load gold shield because someone finally fixed him holding a two handed staff and shield. Snake king I believe now loads much nicer than before. Renegade lt loads a good chain dont know if its maxed ot what though. He also loads nice abs on percent. Jotun loads DL set and is in ls smob zone technically. You make it sound as though ls smobs are suckier than they really are.

Lies!

I just felt like saying the word dung!


dung dung dung

You will never stop the dung train!

Did I mention garwin takes 4+ with mercs, sk has been loading the same as of 2 days ago and I don't mess with fd to much, I try to keep the towers balanced to encourage pk.

Garwin has been renamed and look at the number of mobs. i'm not talking about what they load i'm talking about how they can be taken. i don't want to use the mobs because i don't want to lose a set to no reimbursement crash to get fairly little in return.

Dark and ominous from head to toe, Shiekh is the perfect dark lord of the
criminal world.
Shiekh the hooded mongrel is in excellent condition.

Shiekh the hooded mongrel is using:
<used as light> a large glass-cased lantern
<worn around neck> a gold plated skeleton key on a thin chain
<worn on head> a full helm
<worn about body> a brilliant red cloak
<worn on body> a polished silver breastplate
<worn on shoulders> a set of iron-forged pauldrons
<worn on arms> a pair of full-plated vambraces
<worn about waist> a shimmering steel belt
<worn around wrist> a wristcuff with embedded gems
<worn on hands> a pair of gleaming silver gauntlets
<worn on finger> a black ring
<wielded> an iron barbed scourge
<worn on legs> a pair of full-plated greaves
<worn on feet> a pair of steel-plated war boots


definitely not soloable.

also jotun is far from soloable. why would a human use a black spear atm you can't charge with it. what's the point of chains anyway? the only way to use their advantage is to be getting stomped. imo not worth it. i'd rather destroy one mob with a claymore than be able to tank a bunch and get destroyed fairly quickly.

by soloable i hope you mean with the mercs.

as it is, most smobs are fine, except for the LS ones

Comar is doable with ok equipped mercs + another human basher, or solo if you want a long fight and chance for locked door repop.

torm is insane sometimes, can be done with 2 and mercs with mercs in dodge

DOON i dont wanna talk about doon, he's rough no matter what

galnor - piss easy, really his load is too good for how easy he is, however i'm not complaining, just pointing out

shiekh - definetly not for this game, needs fewer guards or a MUCH better load % for his good stuff, maybe different stuff at an even load.

yurian ... no point, he destroys anything that comes by

channeling aiel warrior - easy enough cept you cant bash, takes a while

governer adan - not too hard, just right actually, cept if you come in in DS there's tons of mobs that track in the way, however this is balanced because it is after all a big human city

here's the most rediculous one of them all though

HAUGHTY LORD - I've never seen this thing load that neat combo tunic

and snake king is about as bad, not too hard though with another and mobs... but it's loaded junk for the past few weeks.

malandric loads junk too, but she's easy, good source of chains

bandit lord is a good strength for his load, as well as serane

shadow knight could be harder - if his load is upped to something neat to have

i'd like to see a lot more diversity in these smobs, perhaps different ways to do them all, like some for stabbing, some for bashing, some for buffing(like serane and aiel channeler), etc

Also I'd like to see a better diversity in the weapons on this game. We don't have enough types for one, short blades could be better for melee, we could use more 2h chains-they weren't uncommon in history. axes - 1h and 2 we need more, lblades need work too, whats so wrong with common 2h swords that give parry, can do damage, but lack in the bashing department? or 2h abs swords that are different than claymores and e swords...

anywho, everything should be more linear, by that i mean fall in line with other things, i.e. make a 2h sword that gives parry, has ok ob, and great damage, but cant bash, then make the opposite points(or something like that) on another sword, then convert those points to another weapon etc etc.

I would call Shiekh or whatever he is called now a pretty decent load being that he loads at least a good 45 abs or so set and sometimes loads gleaming I think. And if you think black spear isnt useful for a human because they cant charge with spears, well you go and try one out as an abs basher or dodge basher and you will realize it destroys in bash vs bash fights. It lands an insane amount versus nearly any weapon. Damage is also very nice on it. But yeah Sheikh is pretty hard from the looks of him though I have never hit him. Jotun is soloable with 2 mobs in like 230 or so dodge and chains or something but you just have to have a nice tactic to pull it off. And Aj hitting renegade commander doesnt have to do at all with taking towers or anything. It is a smob for both sides and loads nicely imo.

Also agree with Logan on the matter of weapons being simpler or linear as he put it. I think there should be three or so more of high end weapons for each weapon class. Each one has its certain strength and weakness as in this spear is set up for a melee type of player. But that spear has very nice skewer etc. Stab damage should also be greatly upped. It should take no more than three stabs with say an emerald knife to kill another stabber with suppose 375 max hp. Whereas abs should affect stab damage and it would take more like 4-5 stabs to kill a high end abser with the same hp although most absers have much more hp. But just as an example. Atm stab is rather obsolete and pointless to play with new skills like skewer and charge coming in so stabbers need a much higher benefit to play.

Just an idea but check mob loads.

when i say soloable i do not mean with mercs because you must use your own gear with mercs. to get gear you must smob.

wtf exactly is a 250 set.... this is only a 222 set only.

You are using:
<used as light> a lightstick made of crystal
<worn around neck> a gleaming gold medallion
<worn around neck> a gleaming gold medallion
<worn in right ear> a ruby earring in the shape of a heart
<worn in left ear> a thick earring made of gold
<worn on head> a murky colored hood
<worn about body> a cloak of distorted fancloth
<worn on body> a thick green knit tunic
<worn on shoulders> golden knots of rank
<worn on arms> a pair of gold-embroidered silk sleeves
<worn about waist> a swordsman's belt
<worn around wrist> a green dangling circlet
<worn around wrist> a green dangling circlet
<worn on hands> a pair of swordsman gloves
<worn on finger> a glistening steel ring
<worn on finger> a twisted iron band
<wielded> a tough stone spear with a razor sharp tip
<worn as shield> a golden engraved shield
<worn on legs> a pair of dark cloth leggings
<worn on feet> a pair of wolfhide boots


edit: nevermind on danir this is a 249 dodge set but that's one sick ass set to give to a mob and have the possibility of losing it to dumb stuff.

i think what aj was talking about was jotun who does have to do about the towers. no wonder there is no dodge in game you guys are horading it to give to those mobs to smob with.

most dodge does not have a cap, the sets I use for mobs consist primarily of scout eq which easliy gives mercs 105ish db and 140+ pb. as for weapons I equip them with scythes.

A smob that is doable with one person by himself no assistance whatsoever shouldnt be considered a smob. It would be way too easy even if it loaded nice stuff on low percent because you just sit around and farm it until you get it.

Make stabbing a viable option for smobbing. I think that the mobs at least on most smobs should be stabbable, giving thieves a purpose in a smob group. Right now we're useless unless in a high end set

thieves aren't useless outside of smobbing?

and this is why using those mercs is not worth it.
