I just bought a Huetotl myself. The Nunchaku is possibly the best Laser Whip item, just make sure you bring some Flanking Moves to get you into position.
Deadly, Deadly Staff or Mullik's Blisterstaff? I can afford both right now, but not much more. However, I have club membership this month, so I'm playing more than usual, so I'll likely be making at least 2500 a week anyways (I started this week at 400 gold). I'm also tempted by Clovidian's Mail, but I already have 2x Sturdy Armor, 3x Sturdy Mail, 3x True Mail and 1x Rolf's, so I'll probably pass (unless I make a lot of money this week).
Chartwell's Ring The Tenderizer Shield Of Ultimate Dodging Juniper's Jumper I'm still farming low levels, so I think Chartwell is probably a must-buy. Can't decide about the rest. Thoughts?
@Kalin: I'd get Mullik's Blisterstaff first. It's also the cheapest source of Force Cones for MP and it does great job of culling the goblins' magic blocks and keeping skeletons away. I also think that at least one of the FS wizards shouldn't have any Combustibles in deck, so Mullik's is great for that reason as well. Deadly, Deadly Staff is unique and quite strong, but I haven't found many uses for that, since it costs two major tokens. @Minus B: Get Chartwell's Ring and don't even think about the rest. Quinn's Buckler is usually preferable Dodge shield. Look for Troll's Ire / White Katana for your Sundering Strike needs. If you really want to play with Enchanted Harness, I'd go for boots and/or helmets. *** Does anyone want to talk me into buying 2nd Reap The Whirlwind and/or St. Xarol's Mace?
Eeygonnic's Shield (have 0) Huetotl's Firebrand (have 0) Skull Of Savage Iljin (have 2) Riptide (have 1) Xochu's Icy Circlet (have 1) Bronzebottom Cuirass (have 0) I think the first two are auto buy, along with the riptide (for trip. duel and friends), and the new AI armor. Do I need a 3rd Skull? Xochu is nice in death march or cold wiz (not that I play encumber much), but worth buying? Thanks for any thoughts
Good shield, probably the best tokenless one. Really good weapon, get it. Absolutely OP item, you need 3rd. Well if you will have 500 more gold after buying all your treasures, why not? Great controlling item, probably the best with two Cones of Cold. While Battle Rage is awesome, Frenzy Aura is just mediocre, and Mail is simply bad. You're paying a yellow token for it, so the additional price of some bad cards in your deck is too much IMHO. Yes, and before the first two There are many builds with 3 Skulls, and nothing can replace it.
My Randimar is very kind to me today. Perfect Agility - should I buy it or not? Just kidding and bragging, of course. Wym's Lavastaff (I have 2). Do I need 3rd? Does somebody use more than 2? Zero G Combat Helm I don't like Sprint, Team! on warriors, but I am a huge fan of Mimetic Crown. It would be very funny to use this helm with Ewix's Evolving Ensemble to build a dedicated Crown warrior. But two yellow tokens, oh my...
Perhaps this avant-garde 2 war 1 wiz build? "99 Knives" 2 whirling warriors: Reap The Whirlwind Troll's Ire The Strongarm Captain Cedric's Helm Parrying Buckler The Softener Pergop's Slippers Raging Battler Savvy Attacker 1 painful wind wizard: Whiterune Staff Whiterune Staff Sarigo's Rod Sarigo's Rod Booming Ring Booming Ring Rockshard Robes Captain Cedric's Boots Bloody Command Electroporter Novice Idea: Extreme board control. VPs are easy take and hold, team movement is very, very present, and Path Of Knives provides a way to take advantage of all of that. You just need to know if they run Martyr Blessing. In that case, just control them and take VP. Damage is not laughable; you carry a lot of movement and tech but you still have 10-damage hacks (by Blind Rage, of course), decent armor removal, and damage by knives. Playstyle: Quite defensive. Pressure victory points so that they waste moves, and when they do, control the situation to get at least a 2v1 or knives on all opposing characters.
Thanks for the advice & breakdown, Ector. For late SP farming Ill play 2x Wym's Lavastaff and 4x Nuclear Pistol on two wizards each, along with a nimbus priest.
I would gladly, but I only have 2. The dream is to have 4; My 2 wizards with Wym's Lavastaff's and one Priest packed full with Impenetrable Nimbuses would be unstoppable in SP.
Considering Bronson's Halberd, Skull Of Savage Iljin, Xander's Mail or The Softener from Randimar's. I don't have any of them already, and I only have enough gold to buy up to 2 of them. Thoughts?
