Yo, sup?

So. Let's say you were determined to do a welf animist. Let's further assume you were probably going to be an outlander, but found it unlikely you would ever have insects (which, imo, are better on the surface for an animist than just about anything other than a bard or shaman.)

Give the above, would you go forester or marshdweller?

My thinking:

1) Curse more often as a forester. Yay!

2) Plague with a marshie. Yay!

3) Mosquitoes in addition to wasps and primordial with a marshie. Yay!

4) Curse all over the place is pretty darned good on an outlander animist though... So less Yay! for marshie.

I know a welf animist is never going to have the raw power of some other ranger builds, and before ancestral spirits got added marshie was a pretty clear winner, but with ancestral spirits the forester/marshie question starts to be pretty confusing.

If for some reason you *had* to do a welf animist, what would you do?

HALP!

-Anonymous dude.

Foresters get the better creep than the Marshdwellers. Surprise is a huge factor for those into the pk aspect.

I like Marsh if you're not going to be an Outlander; if you are, it's a harder call because you're about guaranteed to see a lot of Forest hometerrain action.

Basically my thoughts as well.

Reading between the Nep-lines, does that mean if you were going to play an animist you would look strongly at not being an Outlander?

I'm not sure how you got that. He's pretty specific.

I'm not sure that it is. Whole things sort of begs the question if, from a pk perspective, being outlander and going forester outweighs being non outlander and going marshie.

A similar question would concern savages -- If not going outlander, mountaineer is pretty obvious. If going outlander, forester becomes pretty obvious, but in terms of relative power, I think the mountaineer might be over all better. In the specific case though, you want hometerrain effects for savage blow when defending.

It's ludicrous.

All he said was that he would take Forester over Mashdweller because the refuge is forest.

You asked a specific series of questions. I answered them with reguard to the Forester.

Nep answered you in the same fashion.

How could you logically assume that meant Animist Outlander was somehow inadvisable?

It's a really really good choice. especially for Outlander which is what I was.

Did you post any logs? Linky?

I'd rather be reffered to as being like Kov than Pro currently.
Though Pro is very predictable right now.
At least one out of two of his posts will include him complaining about CON loss.
And at least 2 out of 3 will involve him acting as though his complaints represent the feelings of the whole playerbase, when in reality the represent a very small cross section, namely him.
And the kicker is when it comes to PK Krilcov even though he has rediculous emotional and drug problems is a LOT more skilled player than Pro.

NOTE: Hah Anonymous doesnt keep you anon when you edit, though it doesnt really matter in this case, because I posted as Kraenesk because probably no one remembers Nwaereth.

If I had half the energy and sheer verve for life that Krilcov has, drug problems and all, I would be much better at CF.

That said, I did once have a Pro played level 15 AP go ooc rage at me when I had a level 15 Shaman. He was angry that I used blind and.... Wait for it... Famish on him.

ENJOY MY ARMORS, FAGTRONS!

Got a log?

I haven't had a 15th level paladin get killed by a shaman in a looooooong time if ever.

I use blind and famine to kill at low levels as well.

You are strait up lying here.

You were trying to do some human xenophobe role. I didn't say I killed you.

Again, calm down buddy, your vein is throbbing.
