my hardcore ironman wrestler in outlands

[thenorthener2050]

finally at 98 tactics i do 4 damage 90% of the time. so its a 15% increase in damage. before it was usually every other 3-4 dmg.

im restrucuring him

im dropping forensic eval because you just dont get a lot of loot. my chef is gm and i dont need much more. and meat and hides are so cheap its better to kill monsters for 10k and buy some dullhide which i use on many chars, because you need to kill like 10k monsters to even get 1k dullhide leather.

im dropping taste id. doing anatomy instead.

i used a shield early on so trained parry, but it finally lost all its skillpoints.

so now the skill setup is

arms lore 95
healing 90
tactics 98
wrestling 99

tracking 120
got use for this today. the pk mighta rode up to me but he stopped once and tracking finds targets 100 tiles away so you got plenty time to hide or maybe stucky option if youre lucky or run to town or tele away. same for hiding id liek it on all my chars, stealth too its just so fun.

low level raising
anatomy 28
focus 67

i can still use a wrestling weapon if i wanna do major damage, but then he just turns to my other melee chars. if its too easy or too similar the game gets boring. remember games are supposed to be fun. just gaining xp gp and items theres no point to it.

i also outfitted him with dullcopper platemail so he can fight more than llamas and birds.

i could try gazer larvas but resisting spells would be fun but damnit a wrestler doesnt know shit about magic! hes a brute :) its just out of place. but i might. swing speed increase on a defence skill? pfft.

i use a blessed lantern for 3k in my shield hand. its nice to rp with low lightning. im like a town crier warning people of pks :) cry wolf lol.
