Would you barbs mind not hunting in areas were Warrior Mages frequent. You mess up our magics with your MR.

There, that was easy.

Have a nice day.

Sorry, Woodcubb but that's a pretty unreasonable request.

<<Would you mages mind not hunting in areas that swarm?>>

Heh. Touche.


Woodcubb of Ilithi

There's a warrior mage complaining about barbs messing up their non-room-resistance-checking spells. Like ES and spells that aren't targetted at the barb.

I am --- Navak

<<I walk around all day long where war mages hunt, usually im the one gettin a stray bolt or two from CL, I don't see myself messin anyone's day up.>>

But that's different. Folks who walk into our rooms and get hit by stray bolts are dummies. Barbs who walk into our rooms and disrupt our magics are just plain evil.

(ducks)

Woodcubb of Ilithi (Hoping their buying this)

Dear woodcubb,

Go away.

With Love, Everyone.

I'm so glad these forums have features they didn't before. Sure, you miss things, but only the things you want ::grins::

>Woodcubb, it's not rude, it's incentive to raise your skills! Think of us as kind teachers, urging you to greater feats of ability! Every time your CL fails and you die, take it as a message from us to you that you really ought to have raised that PM and harness, now oughtn't you?

But mages that hunt where barbs hunt are already 20+ circles above the barbarians. . .

A barbarian's inherent understanding of weapons makes him or her a natural at the forge. Anyone can forge a crude weapon, but only barbarians can produce legendary quality weapons sought after by all.

The circle discrepancy is due to the difference in requirements. While having goals is nice and good, and keeping yourself to a strict training schedule is worthy of praise, I simply cannot understand people who deliberately do not circle. Are you allergic to TDPs and concentration? Do you not like having spell slots/abilities? Or do you simply want to dominate tourneys that have circle brackets?

There's no fun in circling. There is fun, however, in fulfilling goals.

Having 500 hide at 60th circle will be fun. Getting to 60th circle on bare minimum requirements will probably not be.

For me, there is no perfect day.

There is 2 extreme types people when we talk about this i think.



First being people who actually get more joy, or fufillment out of RP'ing and just taking it easy... circling is on the bottem of their priority list.

Then there are circle chasers. Who tend to burn out really quick. Those who don't burn are those people you see and go why werent you just 30th circle like 3 months ago? Most players in my experience love to roleplay and use circling(elderisms) to roleplay even more so.

I can not personally agree with not circling... it takes all of 5 seconds assuming you have the prereqs...

But i can understand why they wouldnt.

also some being of high circles, dont want to fight flexers 'O doom.

<<I'm talking about things like, say, 200 hiding by 30th. From a Warrior Mage.

That's probably alittle high for 30th, but I try to keep a few extra weapons at my main weapons rank + skinning, lockpicking, disarming, stalking, hiding, all defenses, and perception. I just like being able to kill, skin, disarm and pick, hide on and poach\ambush the critters I hunt at level. If I just circled chased I wouldn't be able to pick my own boxes, skin my own critters, hide on them ect. That is why I don't circle fast, and it's probably the reason many others don't as well.

Crap. I'm definitely behind the power curve.

>>you'll be able to tell the people working for useful goals over working for that last lore rank.<<

Lore? This is a barbarian board. I have both of our required lore ranks.

Bingo, we have a winner! I can almost open my boxes at level again. Been working on that for a while.

It's fascinating, though, how much like an oral culture this can be when it's carried out entirely in text.--GM Natala

Both years of the Kaith Kirm I've been dissatisfied with the way the combat is run; that's why I was so keen on Eye of the Storm and why I was disappointed that I missed it.

I guess, to be honest, what I don't understand is the people who try to achieve a goal by a certain circle, and by the time (or well before) they achieve that goal, the only reason they aren't higher circle is because they haven't gone to a guildleader and circled. Under that mentality, I could meet any number of ridiculous goals by, say, 10th circle by simply circling to tenth and then working on those skills until they are high enough. Then I could brag about how I had 500 teaching by 10th circle, when in reality I've actually fulfilled requirements for 70th.

I see nothing wrong with training multiple weapons at a primary level - I'm surprised more people don't do it, actually. Rounding out your skills is a GOOD thing to do. I've got more multi than any of my other combat skills, and I've got more perception than I have a right to.

Teeklin, I must agree that power circling is not fun; on the other hand, I fulfill my requirements (and more) just through my regular habitual activities. I don't have to go out of my way to circle, it just happens. I don't see any reason NOT to, when I'm eligible, pop down to the guild, circle, and take my extra TDPs and possibly a new spell.

<<the only reason they aren't higher circle is because they haven't gone to a guildleader and circled.

I don't think too many people do that, maybe some do I don't know. But if I had the ranks I needed to circle I would circle just for the TDPs and train intel or wisdom or something if I didn't know what to train.

My example, which I think is kinda the same with Brabs, is I need 2 or 3 ranks of HE to circle, but I needed 2 or 3 ranks of HE, about 600 ranks ago also.....I am just focusing on catching other stuff up.

>>Teeklin, I must agree that power circling is not fun; on the other hand, I fulfill my requirements (and more) just through my regular habitual activities.

Set harder goals :)

You'd have to have some pretty sick habitual activities to get 25 ranks hide, 18 longbow, and 450 TDPs from ranks per circle just working normally. But even if your goals did look like that (my personal ones) then you could always bump it up to 30 per.

There's always a harder goal, that's why it's called a goal. Something you have to work for. And that's alright for a lot of people, for most people. Their goal happens to totally coincide with the guildleader's goal...and so they get just the right amount of ranks per circle and they circle normally and life is good.

Others of us, for example, set goals that are difficult and work for them and that's better than circling for us.
