Hello !


I used to play and have some chars around rr6 ish. I did play hunter but want something new.


I am open to try any realm.


For solo only play what char should I roll ? How does the infs, ns compare to archers atm ? From the assassains wich would not be outperformed by game mechanics ... ?


Thx in advance for some hints of the gameplay of current daoc.


Cheers

Nightshade>Inf>SB

Hunter>Scout>Ranger


Nightshades insta DD and Magic make it a tad easier to deal with kiting archers so personally I would advice you to roll a Nightshade, however everyone has their opinion and I'm sure others will advise you differently

TBH the poster above has it pretty much correct, in regards to well played ability.

In reality your average SB is usually better than your average infiltrator; NS is still top dog though.
After DW love, I believe a well played Ranger could kill a well played Scout for the most part, as you should be able to cut through the defense relatively easy (most Scouts still play like idiots, 5 sec slamming and trying to kite, shouldn't be too big of a problem).

But Yeah; poster above has it more or less down.

Roll a shade while you can, the might be one of the top classes in the game right now; and you really don't have to worry about kiting archers, you have enough toys to keep them at bay until you get to them... and then once that happens, you can simply collect realm points.

(Additionally, you forgot an H in your thread. The word you're looking for is which)

That's pretty much it.

If you want an archer, go hunter. If you want an assassin, go NS.


...Or stealth Minstrel..

Been gone from the game for awhile, so stealthers can now cast as well?

It don't matter,u will get zerged and spend more time in the stupid nf boat then anywhere else...

Nah stealthers can still get legitimate solo action. Not even a question. Also assassin's might just be the most OP classes along with maybe Mincers and Valks, so you're in good hands playing an NS/Inf/SB.

NS's get magic as part of their uniqueness


For further questions:

Stealth effects damage but only up to composite 50

After that DEX is your acuity stat - so more dex = more damange on your Nightshade magic

shades are kind of weak as far as hitting hard, so you might not like it so much especially when your low RR, but having a couple forms of insta damage as well as some range adds a whole new dimension to your playstyle, so its worth it. I can't comment much on SB's or Infs, but I know SB's are quite fun with a 2h PA.

If you don't roll a ns and need distance interupts, get The Golden Spear. It comes in quite handy!
