10 o''clock PM, Day of the Moon, 28th of the Month of the Heat on the Theran calendar Thyladanieth perished, never to return.

And so he kicks the bucket. I no longer found him an entertaining character.

This is my third warlock at hero and definetly the most powerful class I've played. heh. but I don't think they're overpowered, there are easy ways of fighting a conjurer. Don't leave your inner guard and you've messed them up pretty much as their elemental won't redirect, only the archon. so their hope is basically for it to cast something nasty. but so far everyone fell for the "oh, I'm getting hurt and I'm running" trick. no matter, there are quite a few more limitations that I will not mention for the sake of other conjurers.

other than that I loved the playing style of always beeing able to run into gangs with a transplendant, razor elemental and guns generally blazing. usually ragers tend to fight the archon, which is no problem by me as I flee off and start fighting the person who attacked the archon, I guess that's otherwise the most common technique I met and few manage to pull it off.

I made an effort to be a leader figgure when we fought things but damnit, daurwyn wasn't there for so many weeks and there were people who played alot during that time 5h+ a day (me, lasella etc) but you could trust the twins to once again not do things about it similary to the preceptor case, heh. it was all cool with the new adept spots aswell, but WHAT'S THE POINT? I thought they were to be replacement leaders now that daurwyn is gone for 4 weeks. Lothamwa who I've seen online like once had one. but she was playing on american time, so I guess that's what you need to do to get the attention of the twins. But nevermind. and the horribly vague quest, heh. well. I think it's all lost in the notes by now. end of rant.

Goodbyes.
Warlock: As stated earlier, my third warlock hero (earlier beeing Modion and Trien), Its something of a newbie place but with a few bright lights among them ( and then me, the mediocre fellow who happened to be a conjurer). At any rate it's been a pleasure to fight alongside with all of you.

Lasella: hehe, sometimes I think we could've gotten married, sometimes I think we could outrightly have started fighting on the spot. it was fun at any rate, I really enjoyed your character.

The rest of the invoker horde: It was very much enjoyable to fight alongside you, and always sending my barrier rods to fredrilath
(and verienel(sp?), using tsunami during that raid when I died? what was that?)

Daurwyn: hehe, while beeing close friends with trien we now hardly interracted, I'm sorry that the twins put you in such a position by not appointing another magister. just logging on and start beeing the induct machine must suck. alot. and familiars don't affect conjurings. I made extensive research on the subject. perhaps some familiars do, but the dragon doesn't.

The few others of the tower: I enjoyed your company alot aswell. Good luck.

Ragers: hehe, if there's one class that mess up ragers it's definetly conjurers (while it's the opposite with arcanes, heh). people bloodthirsting into servitors and trying to critical me with the archon healing. But to think then as I was pulling off my final emotes before deleting you could trust grubbin and some other fellow enter the room and start pincering. heh. Anyway, you never raided when I was about (which of course gave me a war fuzzy feeling until I clairaudienced sakhta to hear the four of them discussing and pointing out every mage in my range to be a warlock, I laughed hard that time).

Grubbin: Enjoyed our fights, but when you got me at the inn (w/o servitors) as I was posting the log of our fights, heh, that was just cheesy.

Sakhta, Swirzza, Ooqogar, Destrinax, Diraric, Thralkoz etc It was pleasant to always fight at my conditions, to always have protections and control the combat. Perhaps if you *once* would've raided things would've been diffrent. You may complain about conjurers beeing overpowered but bear in mind I only fought when I wanted.

Warders: hehe. the irony is I very very seldom got attacked by a warder (Targaryen is the exception) but the number of times I attacked you is countless.

Siacla: everyones punching bag I felt sorry for you as I stated in your deletion thread. actually I think I said all that needs to be said there.

Jhaolyren: hehe. if there was one thing that I wanted to have done before I deleted it'd be to have killed you. I almost had you a few times, but that one time when I had an angel to pummel you it suddenly turned at me when I was quite sure you'd die like the next round (waiting outside the bear with an angel tracking someone inside is refreshing, believe me) but then the angel turned on me, heh. I've spent all my mana on dismissal (putting no extra into them) with a circle trying to dismiss an archangel and failing. archons are easy to dismiss though.

and that one time when I tesseracted siacla and ended up in your ambush, snare descended and you killed the elemental, I worded since you were too slow (I have no idea where I get my luck from) and raided and actually took the sapling. then headed back to the tower where you were fighting the sorceress and managed to pull you off and even kill destrinax. I felt good that time.

Rest: I know what it's like to not have a leader for a long time. good luck.

Scions, heh. I fought you much and never looted you. You could trust Zodrimauk to full loot after that.

Mesharrah: A competent healer is always a pleasure to notice. One on one I think I had the edge though, archangel and elemental tend to outdamage healers it appears, I owed that to the class and not any skill however, heh.

Eleke: heh, always blaming your cabal mates to be the dumb ones when your groups fail to kill me never impressed me.

Dullameh: I enjoyed it, too bad I had to be online at 2 am after already having played for 10+ hours to fight you. Perhaps I would've done things diffrently otherwise. But then again I guess you often get suicidal warlocks after you I fought you with Trien, as you may perhaps remember. It was always entertaining.

Dwoggurd: Will you make it to taskmaster? You seemed skilled to me. Good luck.

Tribunals,

Dugruain: Congratulations, while Thyl had no care for the laws (he was fighting for the common man, and sometimes sacrifices had to be made) you were entertaining to fight.

Kaninlael: I can't believe you got off the nightgaunt just after I had conjured a transplendant with all my mana, heh.

Various Marans,

It was close that I was attacked a few times I seem to imagine. nightgaunts and mepthis, no good, no good.

Speaking of nightgaunts, I saw someone posting something on the forum that I sent alot more nightgaunts than everyone else? I did at first. actually, and I was even having a thought of switching sides rpwise beccause they influenced me, but it'd probably be too much work. In the end I very seldom sent them. As a good conjurer you can't send any strong ones anyway. but I should definetly have gaunted more from the mists of thar acacia. few more than a conjurer with an archon survives there for long, heh, especially if they're hurt.

Other than that I rolled the char to explore, but I think you have to be a dawnie to do that. there is always something to do for a warlock regrettably.

Thank you immortals for an interesting game, and I hope the ragers get a new edge with the legacies.

You're right, there were times we went along pretty well together and there were times we could have just tried to kill each other outright. But its always fun to speak to you, gets to control the character's temper. ;p Well raiding without you would be different now, who would be racing with me around various places and whose gonna get me out of that stupid maze? Well if you're Trien, and if your first Warlock was made while Warlock was still in the Fortress, would might know three other Warlocks that I had. ;p Anyway, over in all, you're fun to be with. Take care and see you around.

hehe, well, do you remember when I asked you about various old warlocks trying to get a reaction from you? I was seriously suspecting you to be one of them. I dont think I'll go warlock for a while now however.

take care.

Heh, I knew I can't kill unless I find you without your mobs, and that quite unlikely considering how easily warlock with power can make high level mobs, so I didn't bother to hunt you. I figured two different (depending on servitor type you had) tactics on how to defend against you in raids, both tactics worked fine so I think you never raided against me.

Killing a conjurer with archon in one-on-one fight is quite impossible (you wrote yourself that you just fled if someone attacked you archon) so I made my best to arrange gangs to kill you. After several times when you were lucky and escaped we got you. I never thought that'd be a reason for deletion. Oh well.

You were the most active warlock. Perhaps the only one who would actively hunt you enemies instead of sitting on your ass in cabal like other warlocks do. Though this character was a big improvement after Modion, you could of done better, you missed some things, I won't tell you about them though .

Warlock shifter you say? This doesn't scare me for some reason.

well, I'll most likely not be warlock again for a while actually. and as for not raiding when you were there I probably was off raiding the village or somesuch. The reason for deleting wasn't that one death there but rather that I did indeed invest alot of time into Thyl while getting zero back in any form( do you know how boring it is to raid 3 cabals with no resistance but gettig thornheart/spores/impale and a bloody long waiting time for reconjuration?). I should've gotten scrolls off kharzandra and mashed off for real and done other things, but I couldn't be bothered to do it

I tried to play it balls to the walls by heading into gangs just to proove I could, but that's worthless against daurwyn (the wimp, hehe) who make clever plans and everything.

Anyway, if any of you wish to reach me I'm at adrigon@innocent.com.

Jazz might've been on your side, but blues was all mine.

It was hard to fight you. Level difference alone meant that your elementals
would regularly tear me a new one, and they did. It was pretty pointless,
but had to be done, going back to defend against you and Nithrawyn (spelling?)
along with an invoker or two -- because I knew that there went 1/3 of
CON. At least you didn't loot often. I guess you were taking a pity.

As for other conjurers (bar Daurwyn), I think I am doing fine there.
There are tricks that can be played out (especially in conjurer+archon
scenario) but if they fail.... you're dead fast. Whips help there.

I never looted or if I did it was one piece, never more. noble, am I not? And yes, fighting people 5 levels beneath you with a razor sharp elemental would mean they'd fight a mob 10 above them or somesuch. But I really tried to compensate that by playing it to the walls, as stated earlier.

I would like to read your role or at least tell my why the hell they were there since I did not have a chance to interact and ask you about them. Just curious.

My role was much shorter than I ever intended it to be, only wrote 'the first part', anyway.

Basically the nails were there to let young thyl be able to channel magic, something he would've had a very hard time to do without them. Also supposely they were there to prevent the expansion of an odd disease his mother eventually died of. it's rather lame, I know, but when I figgured them out in a jolt of inspiration from where-ever I also came up with a great role to accompany it. unfortunately, at the time I was in a factory testing iron powder, and a few weeks later when I rolled thyl I had forgotten about it and settled with this more basic one.

it was a pain having though, spammy, and if you ever logged another char you could be sure you forgot to remove the alias and other things. but I'm always up for weirdness

Well, we were more concerned in gettin people into hero status than raiding warlocks and what not. You were certainly not the case that we didn't. You seemed to fight me alot with them damned invoker shields and the triggers for your disarms meant it was difficult for me to keep you disarmed. Conjurers are a nightmare, you hit the archon, conjurers flees and archon hits hard on you, you hit elemental to reduce the damage you take and the archon sunrays your ass etc. Now that the changes have gone in for the healing you recieve I think our fights would have been a little more in my favour. Was always fun and I did leave you all your eq when I caught you in the Inn. I logged in at the Inn, it was fated. Shadar logath fight was fated in timing in your favour that I had just put in command to move south to fight and I guess if I was healthier when we went toe to toe, it might have been different. Liked you as Modion, with my goody shifter. Trying a rager next?

Grubbin

I was close to going for the village, but no, shifter. I seldom used alot of protections for our fights though. only aura for most of them. the problem with grouping with invokers however, is that you head in with them, they get their ass kicked and flee out, and there you are with your archon and three ragers and shields that'll last for 2 hours.

Would it surprise you, that I'm playing with a link so bad my friend refuses to play Dungeon Siege with me online? I quote, "you're better off getting a fucking dial up your ISP fucking blows".

I would compare my speed equivalent to a 14.4 modem =)

I never played a conj, didn't have any clue about their weaknesses, so most of the things I do were playing guess.

Dispel a conjurers sanctuary while others are hitting him. you had several opportunities. besides, if you start dispel other spells aswell the archon will rather renew them than heal the conjurer.

Otherwise, well played.

Why O why? You've kicked my ass hard each time and nearly got me with gaunts? Why did you delete? Tell me!!!

Bloody we've had good fun and boy, I hate the angels and gaunts. *snort* I'm sad to see you go as a player but Llohuir will probably gloat over it.

Seems my generation of enemies are leaving one by one : Rithlan, Siacla, Riacala (sp?), Kealth, Enbuergno plus so many more I cannot recount. I'm really sad.

Best for your next. Let me guess, a warrior? I'm itching for a warrior now.

hehe, shifter actually. only mage class left for me to try. unfortunately for you I head cb's that you were walking around and rotting everyone so I decided to gaunt a few times (totally against warlock policy) but it was when I was still experimenting with things. I enjoyed fighting you (or let the angel fight you, rather). I haven't understood your religion though, you just run around and rot people? Well played at any rate.

Sad to see you go. was fun travelling with you, hope Ill see your next char also.. We where crazy when together though, retriving against mmm 8 scion? how smart is that.... *boggle* but it was fun...
damm healers sancing people...love and hate em.

Eidoran

cursed, I knew I was going to miss someone important! indeed we had alot of interesting times together. hehe, and an arcane is always the best friend of any conjurer anyways, good luck with everything.
