WS/T or Plain F/T?

D*Ranged · 05-03-2003, 11:37 PM

Nearly completing BG1 with a human fighter.

I'd like to dual him at lvl 13, but I dunno if I should take a fighter kit (excluding Kensai, don't like overpowered class) or plain ole' fighter.

Berserker/Thief and Wizardslayer/Thief seem to have their advantages, but their penalties seem to come into mind at the moment. Help me...

I personally prefer the berserker kit over any of the others. Even though I rarely use the rage ability

I dont really consider Kensais as a "overpowered" kit. Sure at higher levels they dish out lotsa damage, but their AC is still really poor. Just be sure dont dual him to a mage. My pure class kensai has some trouble while in Tactic Modded SOA... man getting swarmed just isnt right for a kensai...

A pure Kensai isn't really overpowered. With TOB a Kensai/Thief at high levels is VERY overpowered. The thief has an ability that removes the disadvantages that a Kensai would face.

How that is so much worse thent the Wizard Slayer/Thief issues that arrise in the same situation I'm not sure.

A nice WS/T overview can be found here.

Go Wizard Slayer -> Thief. Get Ashes of Embers and install the 'Wizard Slayer enhancement' -component. 8% MR base and +4% every level. At level 15 you would have woopin' 60% MR! Heh..

You can it the AoE from here: http://www.forgottenwars.net/?page=mods/ashes

I'm currently playing BG1 as a fighter and I too intend to make her a Wizard Slayer and then dual to Thief..

*EDIT* You said you don't like too powerful characters but here's a nice thread about WS/T: http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/cg...=002421#000000
