Nine convinced me to represent Scythe in the Solo competition.
I'll also take a whack at poker and marathon.
If Scythe needs a hand for the 3 man party, I'll look at that too. Although someone else would have to lead, I don't know enough areas.

"a few good Bears".... Well, there's a few pelts on the floor in my room that you could borrow (might smell a bit funky )... and I'm sure a couple of Rangers would be willing to help ya out.

well, if someone other than chaos/elfdar would let helf necros in, i might be tempted to join the realm of the rainbow bear for sinister to actually have some competition.

I completely disagree, unless it was the scythe that allowed.

Hi folks, tonight 6PM USA EST begins the AA marathon. As a few of you guys are Scythers at core (regardless of your actual alt affliation).
Although we are expected to win the more prestigious EXP portions of the competition, we may need a little help in the AA Marathon. Snowfolk have the number, but we have the talent. A short return over this weekend would be helpful. Thanks.
Oh, here are the current results.

Hello fellow powerplayers. This is about the 3man event
Me and the rest of the scythe have a couple of ideas and we're curious on the rest of your imput. Of course Scythe being so good in the exp portions of the competition we don't even care if others get wind of our strategy.
This year the event will be held at the anarchy site, so nothing will be saved. So we can basically do whatever we want. The question is what do you guys think makes a better basher in terms of damage output, assuming hungas or whatever were in play
A say ....
level 40 cleric wrathing and hunga-ing or a level 39 fighter using fury and hunga-ing?
Calvin I think in an anarchy you said you got powerleveled to something in the 40s and fury was sick.... right?

Well, if you had Bazhi switch his class to fighter it'd be interesting to see what happens to his skills. In addition, you then lose purges, as I'm guessing you don't want to sit in a sauna the entire time. Then again I'm sure Stretch has at least 3 clean spirits, so it might be worth it. I would say in terms of damage lvl 39 fighter > lvl 40 cleric, but I've not seen the damage numbers from bazhi's wraths, so it is hard to say. It also depends on your third as well. *wink*

crag, u dont need to look far to find out about bazhis wraths *mumble sk board*, needless to say nothing to special... so I'd definately vote for a lvl 37 fury +hunga (yes 37, u loose 1/3rd xp on class change, no 10m cap)
Also, im doubtful bazhi would loose a single skill if he were to switch to a fighter, since clerics skill soo much slower.

And yeah.... Calvin was disturbingly sick as far as damage went at lvl 40. So much so, that the only time I got killed the entire time I was on Anarchy was by a tricky double-team from Morphine (lvl 26 orc drowgar mage casting AA and VS) and a lvl 21 helf necro rotting. The rest (including Nine at lvl 40+ cleric trying to wrath/hunga) didn't even come close. And about 1/3 of the kills I got were just normal hit damage + hungas... didn't even need a fury special. Of course, I had the chain staff, so..... *gaze* I'd still say that a high level fighter would totally own a cleric as far as bashing damage... no contest. You can get extra damage to each hunga by taking a couple thrown weap trait points... and get a ficer ring maybe, or the black headband from the infidian fort mini-quest game for +20... Calvin's hungas do like 52 damage each right now at lvl 32 set up like that. And the fury damage adds to your normal hits as you get higher in levels, where berserk remains constant. So a lvl 40 in berserk hits as hard as a lvl 20 in berserk, but a lvl 40 in fury completely owns a lvl 40 in berserk with just normal hits... at lvl 20, berserk hits way harder than fury at lvl 20... the difference at high levels is just as huge the opposite way. So with chain staff, instead of getting a bunch of bludgeons in fury, I was getting a buttload of hammers and pulvers. And keep in mind that on the solo event last year when I took second, I came within 75k of beating Castro... a high lvl pally... which was one thraxi high guard, sydie, large thunt boss, etc. And I got more exp in the solo event than the 3man party did. Scythe # ShinRiKyo: Total XP : 1917898 Time : 2 Hours 0 Mins #1 Castro: 2118200 (Knights) #2 Calvin: 2046318 (Scythe) So........ if I had to make the call, I'd say go with the fighter.... but... ya might wanna think about a ranger too (Chun/Rhynst), cuz strike damage at that high a lvl is pretty damn sick too, and they can get the same bonus to thrown as a fighter. Too bad I ain't playin anymore.
