	Okay... I'm experienced enough to know that I could really fuck this up. So I thought I'd get some opinions on this idea I had. I was reading this post: http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?t=227645 ; and thought this would be freaking awsome to try out. And it just so happens that I've capped Cromix recently. Instead of following someone else's build to the letter, I'd rather have my own variant on a theme. Anyway, what I am looking to do here is TR this ranger into a build similar to this one. But I'd rather it have decent ac for mid level stuff. The pally I have is KOTC and takes as much damage as a barb. Freaking kobolds can hit him. I know it takes some outrageous number above 80 to be viable end game. Not looking for that. The idea is to make use of the ranger past life feat that gives you barkskin, and maybe fit combat expertise in for a decent ac. I just can't seem to get the plan right though. So I'm wondering if you guys might be able to help a brotha out. 34 pt build is the baseline. Thoughts appreciated

	The twf pally anthios has is decent but not the thf. Which dumbass will put 13 con on a thf? Esp when it has neligible ac? Personally for thf I prefer ultimega build. I also favor at least 10 int so I get to fill up 2 skills ie umd and balance the way anthios rolled his pally with quicken and torc, he meant to get hit then self heal. The way I play my wf pally is I use the long reach of my axe/greatsword to hit stuff without them hitting me these are some stat considerations u want to make str: 15-18 higher = more dps but is a +1/2 worth the 6/8 build points? Dex: 14-15 depends on if u get a +3 tome for keeps before u tr con: 14-16 more hp = better survivability but when is enough for you? Int: 8-10 no umd or umd? Can u affort the build points? Wis: 8 wis is a dump stat cha: 14-18 depend on availability of tomes, build points u have, which DM u want? Most people want to get at least DM3

Cool story bro. Who are you trying to convince with that wall of text? If you had even bothered to check myddo to see what class I was, before posting your fairy tales, you would have realised that +7 armor bracers would be totally useless to me. So as well as being a liar, you are also stupid. I must have really fucked with your head, to get you worked up to the point of fabricating this bullcrap. You must have been seething for weeks after that dressing down I gave you in advice chat.

	I'd say a psychologist, and some originality would suit you well. Sadly, you appear to be beyond help. Not suprising coming from a idiot... Either way you are a thief. Feel free to keep practicing overused comebacks and avoiding the issue. If you try hard enough, you might amuse me. Incidentally, I've only had two people steal from me and you are one of them. I could give a shit about bracers I would have made use of months ago. In principle however your will remain useless pondscum. Reading comprehension goes a long way scum. Try using a dictionary if you don't grasp what this thread is actually for.

One of these people are lieing...I think we have already caught Astra in a lie?� Or maybe I am wrong... But something transpired between these two... Sooooo what exactly happened? I don't know who you are, or the collective 'we' you are referring to. I'm not sure that you understand the mechanics of this forum. This forum started as a refuge for an internet bully clique who got banned from the ddo forums for abusing and belittling other posters. Through this forum they have formed a loose social network for the purpose of singling out individuals for harassment and defamation in the game and on here. One of the rites of passage for gaining entry into this cadre, is to pursue a vendetta against particular individuals deemed worthy targets, in the hope of generating enough drama to keep the heat off yourself and become accepted as a fully fledged member of the inner circle. This can include the complete fabrication of stories designed to call a marked individuals integrity into question. It's a kind of gang mentality and as we know from real life, people who subscribe to it are usually insecure, bitter, lonely people who are seeking to empower themselves through the social heirarchy of the gang, because they are angry at their lack of power in the real world. As far as this applies to me and madcow430, his outright lie regarding me borrowing and not returning an item, was an attempt by him to get on side with the cool kids. A lot of them go along with it, but they know that I know, that they know that it's not really true.

This is what I meant by "we" Your posting style makes me think you really are not a 18 year old female. Not that it matters either way...if you are...or not. But it is common in MMO's for dudes to pretend to be girls to get free shit. I am not accusing you of this.� But if you really are or really are not an 18 year old female...why make that your tag? I used to play a different MMO with a person that indeed pulled that card...and when he was found out...he tried to pretend it did not matter...but a lot of guildies were pissed because this person DID get away with a lot of shit due to a LOT of MMO players being lonely guys looking for love in all the wrong places. Either way...if his story about you stealing something is fraudulant...that really sucks. But my pre-concieved notions about anyone claiming to be a 18 y/o female...it just seems to fit.� Generally they pick a legal age (18) and pick a location thats far away from their target (Perth, Australia would be a good pick).� They also try to appear "down on their luck" or vulnerable...anyway here is a sample of how this scam goes down... "18 y/o female": Oooh you are so big an strong...carry me through this quest... Meta-gaming male: Oh I will help you...(omg a girl is talking to me!) 18 y/o Female: wow how do you pwn everythign so well? Meta-gaming Male: Oh its this awesome gear...want to borrow it (its kinda like opening the car door...I'm gonna get to second base!) 18 y/o Female: You are right...this is better.� I wish I had someone to take care of me in real life like this. Meta-Gaming Male: Aww...tell me more...(OMFG I'm in!) 18 y/o Female: I really like playing this game...but farming is sooo hard. Meta-Gaming Male: Well then you can have it.� If you need anything let me know! *fast forward 2 weeks...the Meta-Gaming Male finds out that 18 y/o Female is really 27 Year old Male* Meta-Gaming Male: Hey can I have my stuff back? 18 y/o female...27 y/o male: No...you gave it to me... Meta-Gaming Male: Gimme MY SHIT BACK NOW 18 y/o Female: I am reporting you for abuse! Ok anyone ever seen this play out like that? BTW this was not targeting MadCow430 saying he was Meta-Gaming Male. Just saying I have seen this scam a few times...and when it does not work...the giver/borrower still gets screwed out of the item. Also the beef between Asdra and MadCow is between them...but I have never really seen him go out of his way to insult others. He generally ignores trolls on the other forums (this was not meant to accuse Asdra either). I am not trying to stir the pot (maybe I am).� But...it just seems sooo familiar...an ex g/f of mine used to play FFXI with me and she'd get free shit all the time when people found out she was a 22 y/o Asian Girl... Anyway this could explain a lot...could it not? /tinfoil hat

I used to play a different MMO with a person that indeed pulled that card...and when he was found out...he tried to pretend it did not matter...but a lot of guildies were pissed because this person DID get away with a lot of shit due to a LOT of MMO players being lonely guys looking for love in all the wrong places. Either way...if his story about you stealing something is fraudulant...that really sucks. But my pre-concieved notions about anyone claiming to be a 18 y/o female...it just seems to fit.� Generally they pick a legal age (18) and pick a location thats far away from their target (Perth, Australia would be a good pick).� They also try to appear "down on their luck" or vulnerable...anyway here is a sample of how this scam goes down... "18 y/o female": Oooh you are so big an strong...carry me through this quest... Meta-gaming male: Oh I will help you...(omg a girl is talking to me!) 18 y/o Female: wow how do you pwn everythign so well? Meta-gaming Male: Oh its this awesome gear...want to borrow it (its kinda like opening the car door...I'm gonna get to second base!) 18 y/o Female: You are right...this is better.� I wish I had someone to take care of me in real life like this. Meta-Gaming Male: Aww...tell me more...(OMFG I'm in!) 18 y/o Female: I really like playing this game...but farming is sooo hard. Meta-Gaming Male: Well then you can have it.� If you need anything let me know! *fast forward 2 weeks...the Meta-Gaming Male finds out that 18 y/o Female is really 27 Year old Male* Meta-Gaming Male: Hey can I have my stuff back? 18 y/o female...27 y/o male: No...you gave it to me... Meta-Gaming Male: Gimme MY SHIT BACK NOW 18 y/o Female: I am reporting you for abuse! Ok anyone ever seen this play out like that? I am not trying to stir the pot (maybe I am).� But...it just seems sooo familiar...an ex g/f of mine used to play FFXI with me and she'd get free shit all the time when people found out she was a 22 y/o Asian Girl... Anyway this could explain a lot...could it not? /tinfoil hat I see what you're getting at, but the age and gender I chose to put in my profile here has no bearing on my actions in the game or on this forum. I've seen guys pretend to be girls in games for the reasons you've outlined and I think it's despicable. In other words, I'm not pretending to be a girl to get people to treat me differently in the game in order to gain an advantage. Whether or not I am male or female is irrelevant, as I never allude to my age and gender in any way whatsoever, in the game or on the forums. As it has absolutely no bearing on anything I do or say, it is none of anyone elses business. I do find it amusing that it has become a topic for speculation on here though. So in summary, the 'is astra a guy or a girl' topic is completely separate from the 'did astra borrow and not return an item from someone' debate. Both topics originated at different times and for different reasons.

This forum started as a refuge for an internet bully clique who got banned from the ddo forums for abusing and belittling other posters. Through this forum they have formed a loose social network for the purpose of singling out individuals for harassment and defamation in the game and on here. One of the rites of passage for gaining entry into this cadre, is to pursue a vendetta against particular individuals deemed worthy targets, in the hope of generating enough drama to keep the heat off yourself and become accepted as a fully fledged member of the inner circle. This can include the complete fabrication of stories designed to call a marked individuals integrity into question. It's a kind of gang mentality and as we know from real life, people who subscribe to it are usually insecure, bitter, lonely people who are seeking to empower themselves through the social heirarchy of the gang, because they are angry at their lack of power in the real world. As far as this applies to me and madcow430, his outright lie regarding me borrowing and not returning an item, was an attempt by him to get on side with the cool kids. A lot of them go along with it, but they know that I know, that they know that it's not really true. This is a nice little fantasy but the reality is that at every fucking pass you have proven yourself to be a compete and utter fucking tool; from posting gay porn in threads to calling out people on trades for not letting you rip them off. You are the biggest fuckfurter (tm) on these boards. All other fuckfurters (tm) are measured against you. You live in a fantasy world where people attack you as part of some collective plan. Really? When your head hits the pillow is that what you truly believe...if so seek professional help. Own up to the fact that you are an dousecanoe and you might actually get somewhere. If everyone here is such a fucking loser why do you keep dragging your pretend to be female hairy ass in here. Why do you keep whoring for attention? Did mommy not breast feed you long enough? Honestly, you are fucking pathetic...

	Is this all about +7 armor bracers? I will be honest... the walls and walls of text were killing me. I gave up. The drama seems to be a little on the low side. Fact of the matter is, if you give an item to anyone that you havent known for a while and expect to get it back: and

Yet, I guess it kind of applies eh? now my post just doesnt sound right anymore... tis a real shame. My bad... Totally missed that. My reading comprehension while tired = low. I was actually surprised there were new posts in here. As far as Astraghal going right back to the 'you must be lying' knee jerk, I addressed that earlier in this thread. I've given up on this being a advice thread really. But if one were inclined to comment on the original subject, I've rolled up this toon as a 32 point build and taken it to 20. Still trying to get him equipped, but I'm hoping riding the raid train will further assist that. I like him so much that I've passed most of my decent non raid gear to him. http://my.ddo.com/character/khyber/licoricewhip/ Got him some con op goggles, and an earth grab/hp cloak which is in the works. Still need one supreme shard to finish it. Should put him at 517hp with another 10hp from Argo favor when I get there. I'm thinking that Lighning2 khopeshes would be nice for him to have until I can score and upgrade some Chaosblades.
