Ostsol (Guest) (0 posts) Dec-03-01, 12:19 PM (Pacific) "Poll: Party Composition" I'm just wondering how you guys put together your parties. . . My own consists of: Dracon Samurai Lizardman Fighter Mook Ranger Hobbit Rogue Rawulf Priest Faerie Mage RPCs: RFS-81 (I think that's the name) -- Monk Vi Dominae (or Dominus?) -- Valkyrie I haven't had any problems with this composition at all. I have a strong melee force as well as some decent magical backing. Vi, my Priest, and my Ranger are all quite capable of healing my party; and my Ranger and Fighter both have excellent ranged attacks (my Rogue has a cursed dagger that I really like, so he's not shooting anything). With the amount of musical instruments and gadget parts I've been finding, I often find myself wishing I'd taken a Gageteer or a Bard instead of a Rogue, but whenever that Rogue gets into melee combat and insta-kills an enemy with a backstab, those wishes disappear.   Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

NiteTime (Guest) (0 posts) Dec-03-01, 12:52 PM (Pacific) 1. "RE: Poll: Party Composition" I know this isn't original but my team was transfered from My Wiz7 game. Elf - Ninja Elf - Ninja Fairy - Ninja Elf - Samurai Elf - Bishop Fairy - Mage As you can see near the end of Wiz7, I changed all my characters to monks, ninja & samurai's to get the critical kills. They don't mean as much in Wiz 8 but didn't feel the need to change them, they get the job done. I really liked the fact that one of my ninjas transfered with the T'rang stun rod (that helped alot in the beginning. Now at level 12ish, they do pretty good, I get 2 or 3 instant kills per large combat because i have somemany guys that can do it. My NPC's are Vi & that robot monk (more crit kills... hehe)   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

gd2 (Guest) (0 posts) Dec-03-01, 01:43 PM (Pacific) 2. "RE: Poll: Party Composition" Hi Nighttime, say, you wouldn't have happened to frequent the Gamers' Forum before they (just) shut it down did you? Reason I ask is someone know there has a very similar party... Here's my first party for Wiz8... Dracon Fighter ---> Lord Human Fighter ---> Samurai Hobbit Rogue ---> Ninja Mook Bard ---> Ranger Dwarven Priest ---> Valkyrie Elven Mage ---> Bishop Might decide on keeping the mage...   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

NiteTime (Guest) (0 posts) Dec-03-01, 02:22 PM (Pacific) 3. "RE: Poll: Party Composition" No, I don't. But it's nice to know that I'm not the only one that thinks that way.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

DaSheriff (Guest) (4 posts) Dec-03-01, 02:49 PM (Pacific) 4. "RE: Poll: Party Composition" Here is my party. I'm pretty pleased with it. Front Lines: Lizardman Fighter w/ Fang Felpurr Samurai w/ Bloodlust Faerie Mage -> Ninja w/ Cane of Corpus Left/Right Flanks: Felpurr Monk w/ Staff of Doom RPC Vi Domina -> Fighter w/ Raven's Bill Center Support: Rawulf Priest -> Valkyrie w/ Stun Rod Rear Long Range Assault: RPC Madras w/ Omnigun Felpurr Bard w/ Some bow from dungeon (can't remember) Madras, Bard, and Priest/Fighter can all use heal all, which is cool, but I think gadgeteers are pretty worthless and Madras kind of sucks. Bard is amazing. Fighters are terrific, too.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Tanuvein (Guest) (0 posts) Dec-04-01, 08:32 AM (Pacific) 5. "RE: Poll: Party Composition" Dracon - Fighter Rawulf - Lord Vi Dominae Hobbit - Gadgeteer (rocks!) Myles Faerie - Mage Mook - Psionicist Dwarf - Priest Not original, but it is a great and well balanced party.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

alabast (Guest) (0 posts) Dec-04-01, 08:40 AM (Pacific) 6. "RE: Poll: Party Composition" I imported from 7, but changed some of the classes almost immediately. Here's Where I am now: Hobbit Bard (Bard 3/ Rogue 6/ Lord 1) (Ended Wiz 7 as a Lord) Human Ninja (All ninja) Dwarf Fighter (Fighter 6/ Lord 4) (Ended Wiz 7 as a Lord) Elf Valkyrie (Valkyrie 9/ Samaurai 1) Was a Samaurai in Wiz 7 Rawulf Priest (Priest 8/ Monk 2) Ended Wiz7 as a Monk Elven Ranger (All Ranger) Vi Domina, Madras. Give a Bard a good weapon, and they can be quite effective on the front line. His instruments and magic Items compensate for the lack of offensive magic in my party.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Llevram (5413 posts) Dec-04-01, 08:42 PM (Pacific) 7. "Party Composition" (M) Dracon Fighter - Dude! (M) Human Ninja - most versatile (F) Gnome Bishop - Most kills (F) Faerie Monk - great as spell caster (M) Felpurr Monk - weakest link RFS-81 is also along and whichever RPC I otherwise tend to drag with me (been trying Urq for the most part - not too impressed). www.softwarespecialties.com Tools for Wizardry(r) 7   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Sphynx (Guest) (0 posts) Dec-05-01, 07:02 AM (Pacific) 8. "RE: Party Composition" This is the party I've been using since Wiz 6. I tried to aim for versatility and critical hit power. Rawulf Lord Mook Samurai Faerie Ninja Felpurr Monk Hobbit Bard Elf Bishop I found that I could import two Sai for my Ninja and two Nunchaku for my Monk (he can use them in Wiz 8!) and 15 shuriken per player, making a deadly, stealthy duo.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

myrddin (24 posts) Dec-05-01, 03:31 PM (Pacific) 14. "RE: Party Composition" LLevram, since you already have a Faerie monk, might I suggest instead of a Felpurr Monk (since he is your weakest link) change him to a Samurai. He will no longer be a weak link if you do this. Put lots of points into speed and watch his "lightning strike" wreak havoc upon your foes! My Felpurr Samurai sometimes lightning strikes and hits 5 or 6 times in one attack!   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Llevram (5413 posts) Dec-05-01, 07:29 PM (Pacific) 16. "This was on purpose" I tried this party for a couple reasons ... I had never played with a bishop (no off-color jokes necessary ) and a comment from one of the Wiz 8 team, about race/class bonuses. The comment was about monks and how you could play a fairie monk, but it would/could be tough to develop for strength. I opted for the other route and developed her as more of a healing (well, initially as a healing) spellcaster. She has turned out to be very useful, as opposed to her male Felpurr counterpart. I picked Felpurr because they did have one of the better bonuses toward Monk and hadn't played a Felpurr yet. He has just started getting a few criticals, and since I have my bishop covering mage duties, there is no poit now (level 14-15) to change him. I will probably concentrate more on his combat skills from here out. p.s. I am glad I had a Felpurr, because I just found another multi-race specific item (only for Felpurrs, Rawulfs & Trynnie) - there was another I found before that is Lizardman & Dracon only ... cool. www.softwarespecialties.com Tools for Wizardry(r) 7   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Brother Steven (141 posts) Dec-05-01, 07:34 AM (Pacific) 9. "RE: Poll: Party Composition" My Party came over from Wiz 7 with Vi in the Helazoid shuttle. I made a few changes at the beginning so my party is, Human Monk Faerie Ninja Lizardman Lord Felpurr Samurai -> Gadgeteer (I changed her as soon as I was able to.) Elf Ranger (just gotta love that elven bow) Faerie Bishop Since we came with Vi Domina, we usually keep her with us, for much of the game so far we had been alternating between Saxx and Myles (who I changed into a bard also) Have experimented with the other RPC's we have ran into was not to impressed with Urq either, Private Sparkle whined and cried alot when we were in the mines. Just picked up RFS-81 and are giving him a bit of a try out. But since we already have a monk, don't see keeping him that often. And besides don't know how he would react if we started working for the T'rang again. Brother Steven   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

NorinL (Guest) (0 posts) Dec-05-01, 12:26 PM (Pacific) 11. "RE: Poll: Party Composition" My current party: Dracon Samurai Hobbit Ninja Human Gadgeteer Elf Bishop Mook Ranger Faerie Mage I've used Vi with RFS-81 or Madras as my NPCs. Vi gives me another front-line fighter. RFS-81 is nice for the crits (and Monks are just generally cool ), but the Mark 8 gun that Madras now has gets so many shots per round, crits, blinds and KO's that the monk isn't really necessary. I find it best to target my PC gadg and Madras on different MOBs to spread the blind/KO/Insta Kill around. I use my PC gadg (with some magic items and Knock-Knock) as my thief. My original party had a bard and thief in place of the gadg and mage. For some reason, I couldn't make that party work. Regards, NorinL   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

myrddin (24 posts) Dec-05-01, 03:40 PM (Pacific) 15. "RE: Poll: Party Composition" Might as well list my party composition as well... Well at the End of Wiz7 I had this party: Felpurr Ninja Felpurr Samurai Faerie Ninja Hobbit Bard Rawulf Valkyrie Elf Monk I imported this party (from ending where us and Vi took the Helazoid craft). Also in Wiz7 I had class changed my non-ninjas into ninjas for 10 levels and changed my Ninjas into Alchemists for 10 levels. That way everybody had some ninjutsu and critical strike skills. When I imported the party, everyone still had some stealth and critical skill, so it was worth it. I actually am playing two games at the same time - and going through both of them rather slowly on purpose. (I want to be very high level when I end the game(s)). First Game I changed my Faerie Ninja into a mage right away (level 2) and at level 8 changed my Bard into a Gadgeteer. That party is doing pretty well. Second Game I changed my Faerie Ninja into an Alchemist right away and left the rest as they were. I think this party is doing better then the first one. As for RPC's - I tend to switch them around a lot depending on where I am, where I'm going and what I want to do. Although neither party has recruited Saxx. p.s. Is there any place you can find the saxaphone for a bard like Saxx's without killing Saxx? -Myrddin   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

TxNomad (Guest) (0 posts) Dec-07-01, 02:54 PM (Pacific) 17. "RE: Poll: Party Composition" Here are mine: Myles & Vi (both at lvl 9) Mook Ranger (9) - most kills, and great scouting skill Dwarf Lord (9) Felpurr Samarai (9) Hobbit Ninja (9) Faerie Psionic (9) - That Insanity spell has been nice so far.. Elf Bishop (9) Haven't tried changing any professions yet, but have been thinking about it.. Any suggestions? Also, who does everyone like for NPC? Myles, Vi, or the Monk? Are there more?   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
