Kensai->Thief or Assasain->Fighter

What do you recommend? I know that K->T is a monster and I know how good it is. But what about A->F? I`ve heard they`re very good.
Wich would you recommend?

Assassin->Fighter, for the immense backstabs [img]smile.gif[/img] You can also use armor, bracers, etc. in the beginning of the game, rather than level 21(??), and you get a nifty poison ability that goes through Stoneskin [img]smile.gif[/img]

Yes, that is correct. Also I can get all those niffty profisencies. [img]smile.gif[/img] Celestial Fury +5. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Pyrenk · 08-22-2003, 01:53 PM

Heh. You're supposed to put up more of a fight, Xen. If that's all it took to make you decide, did you really need to ask the question?

Xen · 08-22-2003, 02:00 PM

No. I want to know advanteges and disatventeges of both.
Experts?

Adv. of K/T:
1. Higher offensive power, especially when you obtain UAI.
2. More thief HLA's.

Dis. of K/T:
1. You're stuck without armor/bracers/helm (is that it?) for a large part of the game, less if you're soloing. However, it's worse if you're soloing.
2. Very munchkin (with UAI).
3. Not unique; sort of cheesy.

Adv. of A/F:
1. Incredible backstab multiplier
2. More proficiencies
3. All of the good Fighter HLA's (GWW, anyone?)
4. Poison goes through Stoneskin
5. Can use armor at all times.
6. If you want, a trap or two from the Thief HLA's.

Dis. of A/F
1. If soloing, it will take you a long time to regain your levels, and it's dangerous...if with party, it will take longer, but at a lower risk.

Not many disadvantages, though [img]smile.gif[/img]

Why was that low? :1pondering:

Hmm. I can`t decide... yet. [img]tongue.gif[/img] Hmm if I consider it,I might just play F/T. And i have both HLA`s. [img]smile.gif[/img] But i already played one so I was thinkhing about something fresh.

Pyrenk · 08-22-2003, 02:15 PM

How about a Thief/Mage? Or, if you want, get Open Locks and Find Traps to 100, and dual to a Mage. You can backstab with Mislead, too

If you've already played a F/T, I don't see how you could have fun with a slight variation on the idea. Basically, same skills, more power.

P.S. "That was low" = "That was mean".

Very interesting idea. [img]smile.gif[/img] Backstabbing galore. I like it. I still have some things to consider about it.

Pyrenk · 08-22-2003, 02:19 PM

Anything I can help with?
