<DIV>Yeah, this is basically a post of me whining. Sorry.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I'm feigned on the ground right now as I type this message.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I'm level 38. Wood Elven Monk. Decent gear. Not the best, but not the worst either. I have 122 Agi unbuffed.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I just got trounced by a level 32 grey grove badger to try to finish this stupid Drodo's Goodies quest.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>This is *insane*. I know that any other tank that *wasn't* a brawler would have wiped the floor with that thing. He hit me three times for 300+, and once for 432.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>*grumble grumble*  :smileymad:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Rant off.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>-Ilina</DIV>

<DIV>you have to armor grind and gear grind just like the rest of us in the fighter tree llina... your AC should be at least 4700+... agility and strength should both be leveling off at 100+ as well...depending on which route you went personally im balanced.</DIV>

[Ili]

<DIV>I have 4959 AC, Sage. :smileyindifferent:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I didn't go balanced. At the time I was picking traits, I went with all agility, because, well, it seemed like a good idea at the time. I don't much care about my strength, though I'm trying to focus on that more now, as my agility is high enough. I'm also a wood elf.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Lack of strength wasn't what made me lose. Grey mobs shouldn't hit you. Ever. After the agi nerf, I was getting hit by grey *solo* mobs when I was trying to finish quests in TS.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>-Ilina</DIV>

<DIV>mAN == that badger needs his behind whipped ----- just bad luck probably on those random rolls...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>(not too cause an uproar - but i have noticed at certain skill levels = i get hit more often than other levels = </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>such as if i have 185 skill in deflection i get hit more often than when i had 184 skill in deflection, its crazy sounding - but im serious..  it is dealing with numbers internally = so more than likely i would ASSUME that certain numbers match up differently when the roll and skill checks come into play...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>who knows other than the person who coded it?</DIV>

[Ili]

<DIV>Meh.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I shouldn't have posted anyways, but I had to whine to *someone*, so I guess the Monk board was unlucky as that bad roll I got. :smileysad:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>If it was that. I'm not completley convinced, I'll try to kill it again in a few minutes. What burns me so bad about this is as I said, I *know* that any of the plate boys would have destroyed the badger with no problem. Oh well.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>-Ilina</DIV>

[AzoGr]

<DIV>That badger is one mean mofo...took three of us to take him down...all lvl 31+ without a healer....and it was touch and go. I don't know why but those ^^ badgers hit like a truck.</DIV>

[JojoTheDog]

<DIV>strange, at level 38, think level 37 also, badgers were my [expletive ninja'd by Faarbot]es.</DIV> <DIV>My gear is mixed between very elite to very mundane.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>You probably had dragon stance on.  Do sweeping crane and u will see a huge difference.</DIV> <DIV>Add mountain and focus .....getting hit by that nasty badger </DIV> <DIV>should be a rare occurence.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Hope that helps.</DIV>

I'm at 5600 ac at 39. It tends to suit me pretty well when solo'ing or otherwise. Though when a hit does get through it hurts <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

[Wiou]

5600 you mean with hero's armor and you have one of each priest class in your group?

[Khuds]

Uh no, solo.. And why does that surprise you so much? My paperdoll profile on eq2 players reflects the 5200 at least; but not the 5600. I'm not sure about the refresh on the profiles.But anyhow, I can at least show the 5200.And it is with the emerald hide gear on as you can see. I have since upgraded to OrcLord armor which gave me a boost in AC.http://eq2players.station.sony.com/en/pplayer.vm?characterId=194357109<p>Message Edited by Khudson on <span class=date_text>03-15-2005</span> <span class=time_text>02:33 PM</span>

<DIV>It surprised him for the same reason it surprised me.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>That's a *lot* of AC for someone without a shield.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>-Ilina</DIV>

[Khuds]

Sometimes I think I may spend too much time doing calculations and all that mumbo jumbo when determining equipment. But at least the final result makes me happy after putting forth that effort.
