using patched rclaw...

[forumfreak]

what would be the properway of using rclaw nowadays without enchant?

im thinking of building an lld pally. would holy fire help? what other skills would help? resist fire? what gear would be good to use with it?

thanks!!

without a chant, it's a horrible bow. even with a pally's holy fire.

my level 16 LLD holy fire palladin does around 150dmg as far as I remember
but he still needs to be taken to nightmare and hell for max synergy

you wont knock out a charger, but you can run quite fast and take out a lot of melee characters

ahh ok... even with hotspurs and anything fire dmg gear? maybe i should rethink this...

Supposing you get this to work, people will simply accuse you of being enched. Which is the very reason I didn't make one with my old raven.

nah, people usually ask what kind of bow is it, because I attack them with other LLDs first and then just rejoing with HolyFire palladin, poison javazon etc

ok, I am interested, got some tactics, strategies and good/bad warstories ?

once I fought 1v4 people around level 18 (they were just normal people who were questing)
1 necro, 2 barbs, 1 sorc

the biggest treat was one of the barbs, who used civerbs and delivered nice attacks
unfortunately (for him), he was too slow to catch my palladin

they figured out a nice tactic, including a sorc slowing me down with cold (didnt have death's at that point) and necro trying to surround me with skeletons

to my horror I run out of arrows at some point and had to go back to town

when I came back, the battle started again, this time I took out the sorc quickly and slowly run back in the desert, being chased by the slower characters

then I got surrounded by these beetle-type monsters from north and necro+barbs+sorc from south

I decided to run north and started killing the monsters, their lightnings killed most of the skeletons and harmed the barbs, so I was able to take out the necro and sorc
the barbs started running towards the town
I managed to get one, but the other one got there

I consider it a win :-)

If you're gonna ambush a group of low lvls, Act 2 norm is the very very very very best place to do it. They're usually trying to do viper, sewers or arcane in a pack. Fodder for my lvl12. :wink2:

[fledgeling]

nono, attacking them with a level 12 charger is stupid, because it's like attacking kids in the kindergarden or something

unless you have a level 12 smiter etc :-)
