Yeah yeah.... like a little Thraxi high guard and his queen could ever do anything to hurt me, even though I was nekkid in fury mode.... I wasn't ever in any real danger! Pay no attention to the 1 hp I hit before I quit. Not even close.

Calvin, whats your opinion on Shortswords? They mostly weigh the same as rapiers, both do pierce, with the only major difference being shortswords lower parry and lack of good great uniques

I think I'm sold on glutton and I'm not going to rush the last one. As far weapon expert I took that long ago, pretty much every trait not listed I either consider completely worthless or I already have it. rapier *snicker* (And just FYI, I turn down chain staff regularly if I have cblade/vfine ficer rapier, and everyone knows how much I love that thing. What's that tell ya?? ) That you still picked incorrectly.... *cough*

After coming back (again) after months off, I was pissed at the downgrade to ficer weapons and broke down and took Weapon expert 2 for 30 points instead of pushing to exc. strength which I'll get next. Why? I don't know.
-------------------------------------------------------------------- | Trait | Curr | Max | Cost to Advance | -------------------------------------------------------------------- | Clean spirit | 2 | 5 | 27 points short. | | Deft hands | 1 | 5 | 36 points short. | | Exceptional dexterity | 1 | 5 | 381 points short. | | Glutton | 3 | 10 | 72 points short. | | Hard skinned | 2 | 10 | 54 points short. | | Healthy | 2 | 5 | 18 points short. | | Marksman | 2 | 5 | 54 points short. | | Medic | 2 | 5 | 18 points short. | | Packmule | 2 | 10 | 27 points short. | | Racial hate human | 2 | 5 | 36 points short. | | Racial hate orc | 2 | 5 | 36 points short. | | Weapon expert (ls) | 2 | 5 | 81 points short. | -------------------------------------------------------------------- You currently have 9 trait points available. You currently have 12 distinct traits. You can have another 3 distinct traits.
Sitting at 73 mil XP, my play is exc. strength, then no idea what I'll go for next since everything now takes 5mil experience or more to raise. With the boomer nerf perfaps I'll grab deft 2 to try and compensate, but that just seems kind of stupid in itself. I have over 30 million experience worth of playing to think about it.
In other news I was kinda pissed that medic doesn't do much for me when I tested it, but recently when bashing for Taize he assured me that my binds regen his SPS faster than other players. This leads me to believe that perhaps medic skill over 100 is useful when binding others, but not yourself. Since I bash quite frequently this could be very good news. I'm going to try and find someone to test it with me, but if this is indeed the case Medic 3 might be in store for me as well.

For the time being, seems like the only low-risk traits worth having are Exceptional Stats, Pure Soul, and Long Memory.
I don't have a single character that whose traits weren't adversely æffected by the recent changes. Some, moreso than others.
I will say, with the one character of mine who has exceptional stats, I've never regretted taking them. It took a lot of patience and I had to practically beat myself into not taking other traits, but it was well worth it.
Mostly just exceptional STR, but I don't regret the Dex for a minute either (not when 2 STR is 390 tps).

Squat, if I may make a suggestion. I got these on my 'ficer alt....since you already took Medic, why not get drunkard over glutton? Drunkard and Medic go together like bread and butter.
And yes, shin00bi, I still think you're helf ranger is a great tank. Them giga's are fantastic tanks; healable, dodge, extra stomach...just awesome. Even more so now with the new traited puppies!
