36778, Couple warrior edge questions.
Posted by Stunna on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
Parry Anything - does this work better for builds that parry well than it does for those that don't? In other words will it work more for a fire giant sword than it would for a felar dagger? Also has anyone taken this edge? Is it worth the points?

Evasive - does this work better for builds that are already going to evade a lot, or does it boost evade for builds that would not ordinarily evade well? Is it the same modifier for anyone regardless of how well you might evade naturally? Also has what's the general opinions of how worth it this edge is.

Thanks!

a third legacy. I loved it with Firhindil (elf spear/hand HPM zerker). HPM exotics parry very well so that probably added to it.
36791, Do you parry 1/5, 1/10, 1/20? What do you think? nt

It felt like I'd parry about 2/3 of the time against mobs lower than level 40, things like dirt/disarm/trip.

Then I'd parry maybe 15% of the time against hero range pcs and npcs. Maybe less, maybe more, I can't really recall. I got a lot of mileage out of the edge but that could be due to my build as STSF/HPM elf zerker (I liked to thirst).
36786, Both of these edges were great on my elf warriors.

One was spear/whip - parry anything was better for him than my axe/dagger one. Evasive was great for both, or so it seemed. AFAIK, evasive just improves your natural chance to evade. I believe all races across the board see an equal increase to the chance to evade.

Keep in mind though that a fire giant is just plain almost never going to evade, edge or not (and actually a fire giant is unlikely to ever be elegible for the edge since it requires a % in the evade skill, which only goes up on a successful evade - kind of a vicious circle).

In closing, I'd take parry anything with any warrior that has a good chance to parry (sword over dagger/axe/whip for instance) and evasive on anyone who was likely to evade.

But I'd only take either if there wasn't a really great edge that I wanted to save points for. Evasive, for instance, is really hard to see if it is working or not. Seven Winds of Hamsah Mu'tazz, however, you see working. I generally lean towards edges/legacies that I can see working all the time than ones that are difficult to tell.

But that's me.
36787, Seven winds of Hamsah or Parry Anything? nt

36789, Depends on the build

STR build that takes on lots of enemies (or raids empire or spire or maybe even nexus a lot) I'd probably do seven winds.

STR build that won't be fighting multiple foes all that much (i.e. if you are getting ganged by 2 or more, you run instead of flurry), I'd take parry anything.

Non STR build, I'd take parry anything.
36790, Do you check your CF email a lot? nt
