It's how Verant keeps customers.
Verant Makes difficult mobs, difficult mobs drop nice loot.
Verant makes new mobs that are tougher, so players with the nice loot are still challenged, new mob drops even nicer loot.
And that cycle continues on forever, or else players bitch and moan when a mob doesnt drop loot appropriate to the encounter.
See ToV. Thats why I don't feel that ToV will be the big place it is much longer in luclin, luclin will have a much bigger place.
Why doesn't, one day, Verant just make the most ub3r mob have like LOS insta kill, with no delay, and infitnite uses?
That is all.
Point me to a weapon that's greater than something that drops in the world old.

There, that looks about right.

Black Mage had this to say about Duck Tales:
Well.. No, not really. I haven't seen any better weapons yet. (Better weapons are < NToV/Sleepers drops)Point me to a weapon that's greater than something that drops in the world old.
Centi longsword - 1hs, 14/27 8str and sta.
Not the best, but still, theyre dropping like candy.
Long sword of Ethral Energy- 1hs 16/29, 15 AC, 12 dex, 10 sv v magic, -5 str, -5 sta, 5 magic damage (usually makes the sword a 21/29), skill mod of 2%
Pretty damn good, also dropping like mad, lets find on more thing.
Doljonijiaarnimorinar - Unsure what stats are, but a level 12ish bard hit me for 29 damage with it, and it proced a 49 damage cold based nuke
Im unsure if this is Luclin, but Im pretty sure it is and its insane.

Monk fists are better.

The Doljon axe is a Velious weapon. It drops in Velketors Labyrinth and will proc at level 1.

Iksari Warriors > Vah'Shir WarriorsThat is all.
Arguable. A lot of it is preference, but let's look at the bare facts:
Base statistics: Vah shir are stronger, have more stamina, (the two key stats for a warrior right there!), and have more charisma. Iksar have more dexterity, wisdom, and intelligence. They're tied on agility.
Racial abilities: Iksar start with 100 swimming, and get 50 forage. (Also have advanced regeneration, and a 12 base ac bonus, nothing to sneeze at!) Vah Shir get 50 safe fall and 50 sneak.
Faction: Vah Shir don't have racial tensions with anyone (although being agnostic, some devout evil factions don't like them); Iksar have racial tensions with everyone (except themselves and vah shir).
I don't really get how iksar are better, except if they match your personal preference. Vah shir have most of the advantages. Iksar only have advantages over humans, wood elves, and gnomes as far as I can tell. However, it is possible to play a disadvantaged race/class combo if you're skillful. I've seen a gnome warrior who's done really well for himself. [ 01-06-2002: Message edited by: Troodon ]
60 Ogres > All
(It sucks ass trying to regain aggro when you get stunned by an_uber_mob238913481931 as the main tank. All Warriors should get no frontal stun at level 60.

Arttemis the Twink had this to say about Robocop:
You forgot Regen and Natural AC.
And you forgot to wait for my self-proofreading. (Read my post again, AFTER my edit). I got it in there. That's what easily gives iksar warriors the advantage over human warriors, who would almost be tied otherwise.
I tell ya, it sure makes farming the Reishicyben a whole lot easier.
BTW, the Spore Covered armor that drops off the normal and mature Fungoids in the Netherbian Lair is like Uber-Mesh. AC comparable to ringmail, small but nice stat bonuses and all pieces weight 0.4wt. Before I got my Grey Flesh Tunic today (woot!) I wore the tunic and I still wear the boots (6ac 1agi).
