Jaheira's progression to destruction

Leslie · 01-30-2005, 05:53 AM

I just found one of the deadliest weapon combos for Jaheira and some powergamers out there might like it.

It involves Item Upgrade weapons.

She starts with ** in Clubs so that's what she uses from the start - if you install and play Ilyich then she can use +3 Club very soon.

Then it's off to Trademeet to kill the Genies and obtain the Shield of Harmony and hopefully you use a thief to steal from that wealthy merchant Blackblood - the acid club.
It disrupts spellcasting through Stoneskin so she stays with this combo or you can do the Druid Grove and give her Belm in off hand. Of course you must start giving her * in two weapon style.

This works until she gets out of the Underdark when you viisit Cromwell and he makes two deadly destructive dominating doom weapons:

THE FULCRUM

Bone Club + Gnasher
15,000 Gold

+4 damage to Good/Evil/Lawful/Chaotics (cumulative)
shards: 2/round for 4 rounds, Grand Mastery in Clubs

and

WATER'S TALON +4

Water's Edge +3
Adjatha the Drinker +2
Rashad's Talon +2
15,000 Gold

1d8+4, raise user max hp by 2, poison 2hp/second
Extended Reach. Immune to Charm and Horrid Wilting

With grandmastery patch and fulcrum equipped shet gets 9/2 ApR and that's 9 if Improve Hasted.

Fulcrum causes shards in opponent and Water's Talon poisons - to total chaos in enemies defense system.

And you can still keep Blackblood in the second weapon slot for disrupting the enemy's casting. (Fulcrum doesn't disrupt through stoneskin)

Give her a STR belt, let her protect with Ironskins and Chaotic Commands, have a mage cast Improve Haste on her, sit back, relax and enjoy the show.

I will try this combo in my next party wich will include Jaheira. Thanks Leslie! [img]smile.gif[/img]

And, in my opinion, those weapons are so cheesy that I never make either one of them. I'll make (and use) Pitchwife, but never Fulcrum, except perhaps for a Fighter who had at least ++++ in Clubs anyway.

Yep, and so are Pontifex, Improved Irenicus, some TOB enemies and Ascension fight.

She strikes back!

I second that!
Fight Parmesan with Rocquefort!

Ah, yes, against some enemies, everything's fair. But I still prefer toning the mod down to my own preferences (like I do with Ilyich), or just not installing it at all.

Personal preference.

I think that Pitchwife is better than Fulcrum.

I don't generally dual wield with Jahiera. I tend to have her use a good shield to really crank up her AC.

Firetooth dagger is pretty damn nasty, and you dont even need a cheese-a$$ mod

Same here. Someone needs to use the shields
