Tips for upcoming brigands

[Damari]

<DIV>Hi brigands,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>thought I'd start a thread to assist newer brigands with some tips.  I'm only 30th so if there are more senior brigands able to share trade secrets, it would be appreciated.  Currently, I can solo yellow mobs which I think is quite good for this class.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>HO:  I currently use 'Knockaround' as my HO trigger, it has a 0.5sec cast time and 10.0 sec recast.  I follow this with 'Bludgeon or Disarming thrust'  which has a 1.0 sec cast time and a 9.0 sec recast.  This means I can HO every 10 seconds.  I nearly always open with the HO as the knockaround reduces the targets defense quite nicely.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>For those who haven't 'respec' yet, I took the advanced 10lvl sneak. This allows me to cast a 'out of stealth' attack in 2.0 seconds and recast every 15.0 sec.  Don't forget to turn autoattack off while still casting the sneak or the move will fail and you'll have to wait the 15.0 sec's.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I also strongly encourage brigands to invest in adept3 ruse.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I also still use cheap shot!  It seems to give us an additional second in the stun.  Again, don't forget to turn autoattack off during the casting.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Any more tips/hints out there?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Damari</DIV>

<DIV>My first read through, I didn't see it that b3tahack was addressing Damari either.  After re-reading Damari's post, I suppose b3tahack could have been commenting on the "I can solo yellows" remark, but I just didn't see it that way.  Maybe I'm wrong, only b3tahack knows.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>But b3tahack is correct as far as others are concerned, there is some bragging going on.  Hard not to when you play a fun class that is capable.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Kend<BR>29 Brigand<BR>Black Talons<BR>Najena server</DIV>

Your tips where good ones and will help out many people. My post did not refer to you at all. I am not a person to give thoughtless flames.

<DIV>Ok, me bad, my apologies to b3tahack for the retort.  If you link to my character description, you'll notice  I'm an avid reader of the forums and only contribute where I think I can improve overall gameplay and enjoyment.  There are too many people who are quick to be negative or post meaningless phrases without contributing positive idea's.  </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>build the game up, not tear it down.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>My shout for beers!</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Damari</DIV>
