"Critical Kills OMG!"
Posted by BubbaB (Guest) on May-31-05 at 05:58 PM
Rfs-81 and the staff of doom, one word "breath-taking".
Staff has the highest kill percentage coupled with Rfs-81 critical-strike, he's the most bad-ass of my whole party. Every 2-3 strikes and kills them outright. The Zatoichi Bo doesn't compare. Next party I play will have more monks I think. Anybody else have they're favorite class/weopons/race combos?

"Thief with a light sword"

That was one that I always recall, getting backstab, sometimes on incapacitated critters ... never criticals, but whopping damage.

I prefer a samurai with a light sword. when he lightning strikes he can dish out nearly 900 points of damage..... Oh yeah!!!

"Trouble with Samurais"

... in my experience, is that they tend to miss a lot, when they lightning strike (which itself, never happens enough). It is probably due to me "building them up" wrong, since no one else seems to have that gripe.

I did a study on that once. Created 3 identical samurais, only different in 2 categories each. One got senses and dexterity boosted each promotion, one got dexterity and speed, one got senses and speed. Or something like that. Equal equipment too, katana and wak only. Equal armor and load.

I would also balance out skills - sword, dual weapons, critical strike, close combat etc at each level-up. I wanted the only difference to be the two major categories.

I stopped the test around level 10. One of the samurais was getting more lightning strikes and one was getting more criticals but I forget which was which.

I'm having a lot of fun with a solo faerie ninja-turned-bishop that's weilding a Staff of Doom right now. I've put only intelligence and speed to maximum and then dexterity and senses and am at level 20 (6 nin, 14 bis) and I get lots of critical kills now even though critical hits is on hold at 65 until I go back to ninja later on. I get 2 attacks with 2 swings as long as I'm not overloaded and +15 to hit with Superman and Enchanted Blade running. I'm a lot of bada$$ in a little package!

I use RFS-81 to kill Brekek. I go get him just for the job, usually he levels-up once, then go get the stone idol. He goes alone back to Crocks, gets the speech and then off to kill the frog. Every time he gets a critical kill on that frog and comes back with some fine eatin'! Then I dismiss him right there and then attack him so Crock will join in and get out from behind the counter. After RFS-81 is smashed I go rob Crocks chest and sell the stuff back to him. Revenge for the kidnapper. Don't mention the game's blackmailer. She's stacked so I gave her a pass.

"Solo and Brekek???"

nobody has ever succesfully gotten the idol solo before even with RPC's, without killing Crock first to avoid the kidnapping.
I don't know if anyone tried it with RFS, so maybe you're not lying...

It's ok. Once he blinds you with his special attack, you don't have to read the post anymore.

Really? I tried to do that by luring bugs in to Crock's house and then trying to have him join in and move, but he just defends every round and doesn't take a step.

Maybe the bugs weren't close enough?
