hey all, i was wondering what stuff there is in TOB for kensais, i already have the belt of innertial barrier, and the celestial fury (oh my god), i have boots of speed, the necklace of the seldarine as ive only just started the game. but what kind of stuff should i be looking for? i have 5 slots in katana, 2 in single weapon proficiency, and 2 on longsword (blackrazor)

my char has excellent attack, nearly unmached, but he cant defent for sh*t

any ideas?


TIA

Use another character to absorb attacks (aka. a tank) and use the Kensai as a peripheral warrior.

As you stated, the Kensai armour class is relatively poor and the class is very vulnerable to direct melee attack.

You could possibly use boots of avoidance to reduce his AC versus ranged attackers, possibly the bracers that increase dexterity to 18 (depends on the characters current dexterity...) or malakar as a dual wielded Katana (reduced AC versus slashing weapons by 2...).

Good luck ;)

If you dual to a thief and get the HLA Use Any Item, then you can wear armor to help out. However, dualing to thief requiers you to get 3 million xp till you can get that HLA, so it's too late once you get into ToB most likely.

yea, ok thanks, i dont think i will dual class, one of the only reasons i chose kensai is b-cos he looks good without armour, and only holding one sword, anyway, ill just try and get as many protection rings and stuff as possible

Get a mage, improved haste the kensai, let him wear something that regenerates him. Then, there is no need for AC, your kensai will chop up EVERYTHING in it's path! And regenerate health too!

Rule # 1 : Kensai is a Flank attacker wich means that you must use someone as a distraction then he can attack. He has poor AC and he can`t wear any armor .


Rule # 2 : if you want for a Kensai to defend/protect it is wise (and cheesy) to Dual-Class him to a Mage or a Thief .


K->M :Time Stop,Stoneskins and other goodies .

K->T : some nice traps,UAI and other niffty abilities . (Backstabb with Staff Of The Ram) [img]smile.gif[/img]

flank attacker huh, DAMN , no wonder i got slaughtered when i tryed to singlehandedly kill all those vampires, i got whooped, anyway, is there still time in tob to dual class to a mage?

im kindov bored of soa now that i have played it for the gazilianth time

Sure but if you want to get 9 level spells the limit to Dual-Class is level 21 IIRC.

spirit armor...a certain pair of boots you get later in the game, hardiness, and the bastard sword you get in watcher's keep, upgraded...

or simply have a cleric cast regeneration on you, and improve haste...makes you unkillable... [img]smile.gif[/img]
