#92932, "Varthathen's gone, a few goodbyes"

After a year hiatus, i tried a mage with Farathen (Fort invoker) which turned out to be a horrible experience all in all, so I went back to my bread and butter and played a warrior and sure enough it was more enjoyable. Had some fun fights, was respectable in PK for a while but then made that ridiculous mistake. I also thought it was kind of lame that I didn't even get my lastname or anything beyond 400 role xp at low levels even though I thought I was one of the more active Outlanders over the past couple weeks. I guess you need to write a uber role to get attention and that's just not really my thing anymore, I'd rather spend my time either fighting or interacting with allies/enemies. Anyway, I try not to pay attention to Imms anymore so I guess that shouldn't bother me, but alas we're all attention whores when it comes down to it I guess. It's probably because past characters of mine were well rewarded I feel like all future characters are failures when they go 100+ hours without any hint of life from above.

Ckath : Kind of funny that my last deaths with both Farathen and Varthathen were to your ganks, not that you initiated it.
Good character obviously. I imagine you're up something like 6-3 on my two characters (not sure if i got you once or twice with the invoker).

Kurzghar : Despite the trash talk, it was fun that you would fight me when I had no one else to fight. I don't begrudge you your tactics, and yeah staff just seemed to own you for some reason.

Molo : Good fights.

Leph/Mushga : Really liked you guys, you have cool presence.

Dorlanz : I had the same barrier spot as you with Farathen and it really isn't as hard as it seems to be for you... Either than that good hunting you were always willing to throw down.

Outlander : The design of the cabal is just awesome, as are the powers. I'd like to commend whoever designed AncIns. I didn't even know that existed until now and it took me to hero before I even figured out wth was going on but when I did it made running around that much more fun. It will be hard playing a non windwalkable character after this, mainly because my biggest PK'ing gripe is running out of moves all the time, and that just doesn't happen with an outlander. Most people seem pretty quiet, but I like the good/evil/neutral dynamic of it and it's definitely something I'd try again if/when I come back.

Build : First svirf since maybe my 2nd character ever: a solid svirf dagger spec he was that I think had a pk ratio of 0-20. Varthathen however was pretty durable. Took Surrounding the sunrise and Gates of the Forge, surrounding was flat out amazing and gates you're never sure if it's working or not. I'll assume it helped me out in some spots. Biggest disappointment was impale....it's basically useless on a svirf. It missed roughly 50% of the time in PK and even when it landed it apparently only did -4 str -4 dex at HERO? Just seems crazy since I assumed it was going to be -8 or -9. So yeah that was a disappointment and I ended up just using spear/staff to tank rather than have any real offensive power. My deletion has nothing to do with losing the uber set (i mean i had it for what, 10 mins? enough to type 'eq freeze' and stare at it for a few mins) but more because I was starting to fall into my old habits of playing to much and it's summer time in Montreal so going to enjoy it. That and there wasn't really any opportunity for growth with the character either than PK'ing mindlessly so bleh, there she goes.

Happy Summer all of you,

Grysh/Icthaen
