Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

Topic: Buffs

	I have never tried Mordred before (have not even been tempted to try), but soloing on Ywain can be very frustrating at times, so out of curiosity I am going to give Mordred a try. I'm wondering about two things: 1. I imagine XPers are spread out everywhere to minimize the risk of being ganked, but where do you typically go when you are ready to PvP and want to fight others who are looking for the same? (I play a visible solo class). 2. I have multiple accounts, but are buffbots commonly used on Mordred? The bot runs the risk of being killed at any time, but I also imagine that there is considerably more zoning involved on Mordred, perhaps even mid-fight. Is there a general consensus about which buffs to use on Mordred? I have not decided which class to try yet, because the issue of buffing could be a major factor. Thanks for any input you might have. -----signature----- [Hib] Druid - Blademaster - Bard - Mentalist

	There are ways to use a bot. Since a lot of fighting happens in Gothwaite, Cots, and Oceanus from what i've seen, you can hide a bot in many many places. The only issue you come up with is having a cleric or shaman thats buffs only work within range (I believe the cleric health regen only works within #### range and same with shammy endo). I'd say the best buffbot to go with would be druid since you get spec haste. The spec AF can be found from a lot of /use gear and you can use endo pots as well. -----signature-----

	Bryguy is pretty much right. When Mordred had a thriving population it was next to impossible to have a buffbot unless you found some glitch where it couldn't be seen or targetted. Now, I would imagine since the low population you can find spots for it where it wouldn't get killed. -----signature----- (none)

	Yeah, I can understand that hiding a bot is a possibility, but as BryGuy888 mnetioned there are several different zones used for PvP, which means you have to move/zone your bot around a lot. It just seems like a hassle. -----signature----- [Hib] Druid - Blademaster - Bard - Mentalist

	Once enough people start playing you can pretty much just hide your bot somewhere in Alb SI and just go PvP in Goth. -----signature----- NF: Astlaine, Eleva, Cleanshot CV: Brokinte, Busterbear, Fligoo Mordred: Who cares?

	One more question. I generally enjoy the challenge and uniqueness of playing less popular classes. Which solo visible classes would you say are seldom seen on Mordred (excluding pure casters)? -----signature----- [Hib] Druid - Blademaster - Bard - Mentalist

	Well Valewalkers seem to be sort of fotm and obviously vamps. Thanes are really good and there have never been many on Mordred. -----signature----- NF: Astlaine, Eleva, Cleanshot CV: Brokinte, Busterbear, Fligoo Mordred: Who cares?

I have one! and i wouldnt say really good anymore with shield nerf qq Well you'd be wrong. Remember, every other FOTM slam hybrid also has reduced shieldness, which is something Thanes never really NEEDED in the first place. Thanes, however, have one of the most amazing spell damage lines to fall back on, as well as one of the best damage dumps in the game with WoC and Chain Lightning. And if Blagvar taught us anything, it's that you can get to RR11 pretty fast sitting in Cammy for 15 minutes between solo kills. -----signature----- [3:23:33 PM] Bogle: i like playing wow i dont have to worry about positioning or if theres people on me or casting any other spell other than a heal

I don't remember ever being able to /roll a rr5+ thane. you need atleast rr5 to get chain lighting plus you need prob rr7-8 to rightfully spec WOC into your ra's without totally gimping your defense and not to mention how EASY it ISN'T to land a block stun when you have 1400+ WS. and by the time you finally get around to doing it your opponent purges and you die. and REMEMBER dual wield got a boost to penetrate sheild... ding ding.. they are good.. just not Really good anymore.. -----signature----- too many

	Shield weaponskill =/= real weaponskill. If you have high dex and Shield, it is higher than standard Thane WS. The downside of Shield styles is none of them have to-hit bonuses. L2Shield! -----signature----- NF: Astlaine, Eleva, Cleanshot CV: Brokinte, Busterbear, Fligoo Mordred: Who cares?
