I was the only one in after a reset and got invited to take on the new Cyric Commander. The server crashed or shut down before I could say anything about it so I thought I would post.
If you were watching Z, then you know what happened. My character hits at 71 and has an AC of 87 and damage reduction. I got destroyed. So, yes, perhaps the Commander is a little tough at the moment. One other thing I have noticed lately is that the guard warriors on level 14 now have multiple heal potions or spells. I don't know if that is intentional but they use them when badly wounded which makes for very long fights unless you get lucky with the critical hits. There were two of them are in the Commanders room and they did not make life any easier. Ah well, I'm off to buy some rings of harm.....on second thoughts, a lot of rings of harm. |

Ziroc, my recommendation about the current Cyrist Commander vs. one of Greything's power builds:
Reduce all of the Cyrist Commander's base statistics by four and reduce his hit points by 25%. Then see how the same power build does against the Cyrist Commander. I don't think there is a single dragon in the game that Greything has said his current builds would stand that slim a chance against, so unless this Commander is actually an avatar of Cyric himself, he's way too strong. As well, you did say that the Commander is actually supposed to be the SECOND strongest character on that level (but the most powerful character has not been introduced yet), so if that character is technically unbeatable, then the new (unseen and unreleased) and true leader of the Cyrist sect would be just shy of absolute divinity.

The Leader was tweaked a bit. It's to be expected. Anytime something is newly released, I watch all the action in DM mode and check out the battles and make notes on what to change.
Grey--I did indeed lower his stats, try him out, and btw, he drops some DEADLY items! VERY nice stuff. On par with the commanders plate--or even better!

Ah, so the actual leader is now in on 14? Most excellent. The next time I find some time, it's going to be "clobberin' time".

*grins wickedly* And yes, I think I'll be bringing my nodachi wielding akkishouten down to help you guys out, unless I drag my badly-made cleric all the way down through the trials and tribulations to get her enough stones to join you on Level Fourteen.

Take no notice Moz.
It's not stones that are needed but healing potions. Stig TC and I went in against the Commander. He took an obvious dislike to me and I ended up taking the hits and drinking heal potions like a champion while Stig hit him. The moral is; get big AC, damage reduction, help, or better still, someone standing in front of you. |
