Warriors get a life and a clue. They aren't all your mobs just becasue 50 of them r around u. lol Oh yea once you have those 50 around you we prefer if you don't lure most into us. Maybe you didn't know that. Want to take a guess at the % of ppl that r pkers or jerks on Mir as to their character type? Here's mine: Warriors 93% Taoists 6% wizards 1% Oh BTW, I have a warrior as well (lvl 24). Aren't a large % of warriors mental midgets that think they own Mir everyone else be dammed? Guess it comes with the high HP and AC. lol Well maybe thats to strong, but they seem to have little understanding of the balance of nature in Mir. Maybe they need to be foreced to play a wizard character up to lvl 28. Then they would start to understand where we wizards are coming from. Well at least the intelligent ones would. Zing!! As I now have a level 24 warrior, I'm kind of understanding the warrior mentality a little better. You can run around WT or BC and play superman without much of a threat of dying. As long as u have a few sun pots and randoms you can do anything and walk away. Warriors are so dam easy to play and rarely ever get into real life threatening situations. Now I haven't played in ZT much yet, so I can't speak to that place. Warriors just aren't challenging or very stratigic (spell checker where r u) no wonder so many of them sit around PKing people. Wizards on the other hand you are always in life threatening challenging situations. Constantly thinking of what stragety or spell to employ to make it out alive. Two nights ago as a lvl 31 Wizard an I lost an ET to a respawn. Most warriors at that lvl would have been able to deal with that easily. As long as u have pots u win. Hmmm real talent to play that character. lol When I'm busy eating/cooking/watching TV I play the warrior as I know I can crank up the volume walk away and if I hear something run back and still have no problems. Try that with a wizard and you only hear his death scream. lol Mir staff needs to figure out how to get some balance/challenge back into the warrior character. Until then I'll keep lvling my warrior get to 35, hog all the WTs and run through BC at break neck speed. God I can feel my IQ getting lower already. Folks I can't afford to get it any lower than it already is. Help! Fix the warrior character. Maybe add more powerful magic mobs to areas. Lower warrior AC. Add a few super mobs to areas. Similar to super archer and guardians in ZT. Give wiz a slow spell that changes areas of land to mud for 5 or 10 minutes. God I'd cast that all over WT & BC for those running fools. lol have fun.

I have to agree.In order of skill you're looking at 1 being the easiest and 3 being the hardest and more skill needed to play correctly. 1: warrior 2: wizard 3: taoist As for class PKs etc. Warriors 50% Wizards 40% Taoists 10%. All known PKs are however Taoists. LordIronfisT, DrGreen, Wolmack, REDTIGER4, LadyToa etc. As for warrior attitude - I would say 90% of warriors have an ego problem and are arrogant beyond belief. Yes, some may misunderstand my meaning in posts and I have to agree sometimes some people will think that I'm arrogant too. But in-game you'll find the vast majority of warriors are plain simple rude & greedy! lol But it's a game and it's fun no matter how you choose to play it. =================== Darken Souls Guild Master =================== |

As much as i hate to say it, i agree with you Nicon.A solo warrior is very easy to play, but i for one am too lazy to run everywhere so stick to a casual stroll, probably due to playing a wizzie on dragon server and running into many problems (and usually death). On the upside i do get time to type my usually inane banter in guild chat  On the other hand a warrior in a group can be challenging, watching the flow of battle for weaknesses in the groups defense and ensuring the artillery (wizzies) and medics (taos) are protected. Nowhere near as thought provoking as a tao but does require some brain activity. MrShush Warrior "Me hit fings wiv a big stick" |

Yeah I agree with that. It's VERY hard to find a warrior that knows how to work in a group with the correct manner and frame of mind. In the early days me, Petroni and LUIGUI worked VERY well and were very solid as a team. Shame really, as I've never grouped with any warriors that live up to the same standards and understanding as those two since. Although Deathb is a good team player and grouping with him and tulip was fun. =================== Darken Souls Guild Master =================== Edited by - LordNicoN on 11/29/2001 19:22:44 |

one of the reasons i quitin bug cave, a warrior (will remain nameless) is up to his eyes in bugs, sees me walk past and shouts 'HEAL'. i heal him, and try to help by killing some bugs near him, only to be thanked my the words 'NO, MY BUGS, LEAVE EM!' swiftly followed by 'HEAL', which this time went unanswered. to warriors - taoists are not your little bitches, dont expect them to heal you if you are not greatful for it. *slips back into retirement* Phoenixflame Elite's very own Mr Laggy

lol I quit my warrior when Slaying was the last warrior skill and the best weapon you could lay your hands on was a Martial Sword. Maybe if I had other skills to look forward to and nice extra weapons that todays warrior has I might be still wearing my batman cape...hold on, I still am lol But you get the idea  =================== Darken Souls Guild Master =================== |

I must say, I am very surprised at this post of your's... You have lost o lot of reputation you have built up with me with your past posts that struck me as thought out and on the mark, with perspective ....Not so now with this post here. This just goes to show that you've lost your reasoning, perspective on things through some fresh bad experience and you show lack of maturity by blowing up like that over an incident or even a series of incidents happening over some time. The exact percentages you put down (even if guesstimates) show that and leave me really wondering about you... Plus I can't think much of anybody who can't see specifics of playing a certain class of char and talk about non-challenging and non-strategic aspect of a char... (btw wizard is easier to raise in my experience than warrior, certainly to lev 20) I guarantee you, you can play both a Warrior and a Wizard (Tao too) in a dumb way and complain about non-challenge of both these chars... witness that every day... If I have a number of mobs around me, be they 5 or 50, yes they are not mine (those I didn't start fighting yet) but commmon courtessy says, you go get your own, its not like the ones around me are the only ones in game or that there's such a scarcity of mobs plus you act as a leach since you rely on my being a 'tank' for you - keeping the 'attention' of mobs on myself... and if somebody intentionally lures mobs on anybody, then he/she is a jerk and I fail to see how non-challenge playing a char (if there is one) makes one into a jerk, I'd rather think that jerks are jerks whatever char they play... quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Two nights ago as a lvl 31 Wizard an I lost an ET to a respawn. Most warriors at that lvl would have been able to deal with that easily. As long as u have pots u win. Hmmm real talent to play that character. lol --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You CANNOT COMPARE two classes at THE SAME level, period!! For example, Wiz lev 15 can level in places where Warrior at htat lev cannot. Wiz with newly acquired fireball can solo hunt Oma Warriors, Warrior at that level simply cannot!! Wiz can go hunt in WT way before Warr can reasonably go there at all... And if you think, Warr cannot die as long as he has pots, than I can't tell you anything, really. It just tells me, you've played that Warr of your's in a very non-challenging way!! quote: When I'm busy eating/cooking/watching TV I play the warrior as I know I can crank up the volume walk away and if I hear something run back and still have no problems. Try that with a wizard and you only hear his death scream. lol
What can I say, OF COURSE Warr lasts longer if unattended!! How could it be othervise?? If Warr had as much HP as a Wiz, he could pack it and play checkers for christ sake!!!!! I fail to see how this tells against the Warr being challenging char... If I adopted your way of looking at things, I could point out that the hit and run (step away) tactic of Wiz combat is non-challenging and dumb way of fighting, albeit one which keeps your fingers on keys... never liked that you guys can Tbolt while hidden behind an obstacle and mob just can't get to you... but the point is I don't post about that and don't put other chars down as non-challenging like you do here... Methinks, it betrays lack of judgement if not worse... S ...did somebody post under your name?? Or perhaps I don't know you (enough)?? Or did anger blind you?? Or is that your bile spilling out finally????? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'd rather walk away empty handed than claim anything that is not mine by force But you risk your neck if you take from me as much as a single gold piece

Yeah I totally agree with you, I mean who do these warriors think they are?  And yeah we don't have much skills and have to worry much but I like it that way cos I play Mir for fun and not to know where all my F-Keys are with my eyes closed  I tried to play my bro's wizzy the other day and DAMN is it hard lol. I tried to hit a few zombies with the spear (too much warrior in me lol). Not to mention I will t-bolt the things and he will say "FFS firebang em what the hell u doin?"  I mean what am I supposed to do? I manage to press the number keys (usually when I have a DE selected damn it) when I want to press the F-Keys so don't pick on me  ~~~~Phoenix Player~~~~ NickPhil Warrior Lvl 36 Æternals ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

lol Nickphil you r all right guy. Love your wizard experienceSavi, not sure what your in character game name is but cut me some slack guy. I'm just playing with your warriors mind and a little bit of real bitching on my part. After all I do have a warrior I'm playing a lot myself. As soon as I get to lvl 25 I'm Pking Nickphil and stealing his reserved spot in S_1. lol Watch out Nick my char has a gun. Plus Savi, if I didn't start this LordN and those 5th characters would keep posting about that war or lack of. Anyways if you don't lighten up, I fart in your general direction. You can compare any of the 3 classes at any levels and I do agree wizads have the avantage at the early lvls, unfortantly most of us are spending our time at the high levels where the warrior often has a negative impact on wizards around them due to selfishness. BTW you didn't say the % of classes that r pkers and looters. Be honest now fess up it's the warrior with the highest %. Phoenix has become another Dragon now where wizards rarly if ever get a chance at WT anymore. I rarely even go there anymore as all you hear is warriors fighting over whose WT it is. As far as wiz hiding around cornors and T-bolting mobs, whats your point? How does that affect you? Do we steal from you or casue them to some how attack you from around a cornor. Seems kind of non intrusive to me. DeathlyDad

me persoanlly i don't have much of a tiff with warriors and their need to mob hoarde as i can usually handle an insane amount myself at times( not very easily done firewall, lightning 10 firebangs , pot pot sunsunsunsun pot)but my objection is to where alot of them do it. guys FFS if you have to make a swarm around ya keep enough room where others can move around you without havingm to risk all their pets,don't block the feckin doors, or risk a mob saying," hey guys there's a wiz lets all get him!" as hapens alot when walking around a corner and seeing the comotion going on...wait you say? oops respawn, caught between pets going mad and whats this? a few decide to start slipping away from the warior who's 1/2 moon failed to keep their attention. damn 30 minutes of pet taming down the drain and 2 bundles doing it.revenge is a dish that is best served cold |

The clue is in the game title - The Three Heros.We all need each other to survive in this game and with it each clasS has its own strengths and weaknesses. I personally play all clasSes and know what difficulties each one has and where it succeedes others. Warriors - strong (armour and HP) Wizzards - powerfull (dc caused by spells) Taos - irreplaceable (heal, bless and trap) I dont see anyone complaining when there is a ZT hunt and the warriors form the barrier between ZT and the wizzards and taos who are attacking and healing. nor do i hear of complaints when a warrior brings home pressies such as mage staffs, life necks, serpent swords, plat rings, etc. We all need all clasSes to survive, if you dont like the fact that you cant run through BC and not die then sorry mate but you chose the wrong character. Nobody tells you which character to pick, you read the game story and the character characteristics and you decide how you want to play the game, and therefore you take what ever weaknesses that character has. With Wizzards its the health thing, but man do those spells hurt from a low lvl when compaired against a warriors DC!, i mean that ice storm of Rasts fekking hurts! And you try hitting a wiz when they attack you, its like trying to catch WT in a good mood! Warriors have their problems, repairing for me is THE biggest pain in the arse. We spend our time and cash hunting the bosses over and over again and our stuff gets battered to absolute crap. We have to keep hunting to replace our special items that have dissintigrated from constant repairing, where as taos and wizzes virtually never have to repair, therefore erradicating the need to hunt big bosses for special items as often. I would love to be able to heal myself and save thousands on pots every BC trip but i cant because im a warrior. I would also like to do the same with attacking from a distance and taking out a group of mobs at once, but i cant because im a warrior. I can run into a crowd of mobs and survive, why, because im a warrior. With the luring issue i personally never lure, if i do by accident and see another character i always stop and fight the mobs, even if it means me getting beaten to a pulp and costs me thousands on pots to stop someone else getting mobbed. The same cannot be said for some others i admit but thats the individual person not the character in question. Also there is the question on what lvl should certain clasSes be in certain places. If wizzes are finding it hard to stay alive in BC from respawns then maybe they should hold off out of there untill lvl 31 for soul shield? The key to the game is to make friends with members from all Clases to get items for you, protect you, help you with things that you cannot do. ZT would be a nightmare if it wasnt for wizzes and taos. I think everyone needs to stop complaining about 'this claSs has that' and 'that claSs has this' and accept the character they chose and all the faults that come along with it. Remember - The Three Heros - we all need each other, it makes sense. Thanks to those people who took the time to read what i had to say.

great topic!i started playing this game with 2 friends, a tao and a wizz. The wizz pretty soon went solo, as he didnt like the clumsy 'fencing' i showed off and hated the zombies. He went to WT while i was still scared every time i met a bat. So i continued to hunt with the tao. All went pretty well and we both lvl-ed like crazy. Untill 'skelly' joined the group. At first i rather liked it, lil' funny bony man, but soon it started to annoy me. Being the trigger-happy (?) warrior i am, i thought it my prerogative to hit every mob first, to walk in front of the group, to run a bit (very cool, running), but with skelly, i couldnt anymore. Each time i wanted to move, skelly moved in front of me. Every time i had to bank, skelly was standing on the money. As u understand, skelly was a nuisance. But soon my friend the tao learned how to use his skills. He hid when need, to distract the mobs attention. Moved skelly in at the right moment. Together, we did great. But then, hitting lvl 22, my friend the tao lost his interest, part due to the fact he is quake player and justs prefers that game, partly because - i think - he found lvl-ing his tao rather hard. Now, at 4% to before lvl 26, i mostly hunt with other warriors. Most wizz' i know lvl solo, and i dont really know that many tao's. I hate luring many mobs on me, unless i can fight them one by one. It just costs loads amounts of pots, and imo, u can get as much xp using a 1/4 of pots when fighting them a bit smarter. I hate using pots and even more spending money. I prefer my mobs served one by one. The moral of this story? None. I just started writing and didnt stop. Its not hard to be a warrior, specially hoocked to another warrior. I do 'love' the job though. I have the feeling the warrior should protect the wizz and tao from close attacks(tho most can handle themselves perfectly on their own), when in a group. But all classes have their benefits. Indeed a wizz can stand behind a wall and tb all the boars, which seems rather easy. Likewise the warr can stand in between 20 zombs and kill them without a scratch. But to put in at least some life threatening challenge Deadly, i suggest u go to ZT soon, 3rd/4th floor and see how that's like. I'd be happy to join u and die fighting a SZG :) Meffa Edited by - meffa on 11/30/2001 17:45:09

I have Read most of the arguments on thsis topic, and I agree with most.I abandonded a lev 23 Toa on Dragon, because it was too difficult, In favour of a Warrior on Phoeonix because It was easier. I leveled up the war on Pheonix to 28 (could have been Higher, but family problems) But was it rewarding? in my view NO I deleted my Drgaon Charcter Because I Felt He wasnt going anywhere. I have Leveled A warrior to Lev 28 and felt Exactly the same, but with far more experiance. So Which was more rewarding in the long run? the Toa at 23 or the Warr at lev 28. In my viewpoint, Definatly the Toa. I sincerly wish I hadn't deleted my Dragon character, but I felt Dragon a No-Hoper. I stand corrected. Dragon Is ok If U can cope with random Pk's. If U can stand that, and have high enough charcter, then Dragon is for U. In my honest opinion, the warrior is OK for leveling up to a point, but the Toa has a stratigic play that the other classes cant touvh. I wish I was a Toa now. They have more strategic play, and I deleted that for the hope of quick leveling. My call, my **** up.. Oh what fools these mortals be... Silence is Golden..... but not anymore |

I only ever played my warrior on dragon which was a nice simple introduction to Mir - Let`s be honest, doesn`t take a nuclear physicist to operate a hack`n`slay fighter! Once I moved on to the Phoenix server, I wanted a greater challenge and so started my Tao which I am part way to level 29 with. As I`ve never played a Wiz, I am not in a position to comment, but the Tao has proved to be every bit as challenging as I hoped it would be! Very bad planning by the developers though to provide 8 F keys with so many spells? Plain bloody stoopid if u ask me! The fact is that although warriors are easier to level, it takes a good player to use one correctly. I have hunted with many warriors who were in complete control of the various situations and therefore became very successfuln hunts, I won`t name names but you kmow who you are. I have also hunted (to my shame) with some complete noob level 28+ warriors who have no idea what a successful hunt is, rushing in without a thought and jeapordizing all characters in the group as a result. Then there`s the warrior that permanently demands `h4` `h5` - did this person bother to buy any bloody pots??? As a Tao, I will do what I can to assist those in my group but don`t abuse the aid people! Makes me laugh when I`m in the KR near the altar to see a warrior struggle past me pursued by 40+ woomas screaming `hide`. Hmmm, difficult decision - he is a warrior, turn the fuk around and lure them somewhere else FFS! It`s moments like that where I`d like to form an alliance with the Wooma Leaders and help set upon the useless article that lured them here in the first place! Wiz`s I have nothing but respect for as I realise the problems they face with low Hp etc etc... But when was the last time you heard a wiz demanding `h3` `h4`?? If a warrior was able to use the same control and strategies as Taos and Wiz`s, KRs would be such a better place to hunt! In essence, it`s more down to how each class is played rather than the class as a whole. I just wish that those warriors who cause these issues, learn that they are not these immortal monsters of destruction, in the wrong situation, they are more vulnerable than any other class and need to realise that in order to better themselves. Going back to the warrior in the KR being chased by 40+ Woomas, imagine the surprise he must have felt as he struggles past me to see me hide in a puff of smoke and stand still watching him get taken apart by the woomas as I watch, completely left alone! Read and learn! MARSHFARMEREliteLvl 28 Tao

I supose that warriors do more stupid stuff then other classes too but that is the problem of pple behind the char... othervise I find warrior class pretty challenging, as I said, I have wiz 18 lev and the only challenge with him is when you get too many mobs moving toward you that you couldn't help disturbing.... othervise its not challenge, you just bolt them one by one while rest is waiting in line, you fish them out with your mouse from dark and bolt them and they go down before they can get to you... and its even less challenging if you can bolt them even behind obstacles, thats what I mean and why I preffer Warrior class... as Meffa says
quote: Indeed a wizz can stand behind a wall and tb all the boars, which seems rather easy.
I remember being so terribly dissapointed when I discovered that my friend Wiz got Oma Warr at such a terribly low level and how little challenge these bosses are for magic users... as long as you have free space to back onto, you hold the day... Of course its different at higher levs for Wiz with more pets stearing about etc... Biggest challenge and skill for Warr is to split mobs appart, so you don't take on all of them at same time (waste of pots) like Meffa here said... I run headfirst only in 'easy' mobs that I can take wholesale like Zombies, with Boars its more of a challenge to get them one by one but it can be done... so you don't waste those pots. Dumb Warriors who can't play the char are cash poor Warriors as a rule and in their case its not much of a challenge... I do lots of small decisions even when fighting solo when mobs are more onerous, like in those narrow passages in Connected pathways where several ezombies bolt you from distance and you might be locked among normal zombies... then its challenge to not get closed in and its at times like these I see how easy those across distance spell users have it... In BC, Wiz can lure mobs out one by one mostly, its more of a challenge for a Warr to do that but can be done in many cases only one must lure them with one's body (not talking here about luring onto another guy but on myself in order to split mobs and not figh the whole bunch at once) All in all, I find the most challenge in fighting economically, in smart way, that's also why I am not cash poor...
quote: BTW you didn't say the % of classes that r pkers and looters. Be honest now fess up it's the warrior with the highest %.
Those Warrs you talk about are kids that have no brains and they play Warr in a non challenging way. If they happened to play Tao or Wiz, it would be the same but such pple seldom do) So you may get most jerks among Warrs but that says nothing about Warr char except it probably allows most to be played in a dumb way, I grant you that.
I would play Warrior again if went on another server I think, the class just have more appeal for me, plus you get more independence, I have never felt that strongly about magic using, I am maybe too 'realistic' for that... chopping seems to me more 'real' thing, not some killing by magic across a distance. That's a matter of personal preference... and pets are like if you level on remote control... its fun though to have your own flock of hens named after you and following you around and noob Wiz walks so selfimportantly in front of them, that's why I started him :) Anyway, I didn't want to sound so harsh on ya, just shake off (but don't put my char down ) S oh and I am she Warrior although there is he behind controls  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'd rather walk away empty handed than claim anything that is not mine by force But you risk your neck if you take from me as much as a single gold piece

Good thread this full of interesting insights as to various peoples views on the game. Let us start with the obvious comparing different classes is like comparing apples and oranges, they are different for a reason , their skills complement one another, each character having their own strengths and weakneses. Without doubt the warrior is the easiest one to play , but that does not mean that no thought is required to play it well. The warrior normally takes the lead attracting the first mob attacks his ac allowing him to take those hits and giving the others a few valueable seconds to select the appropriate spell. In action a good warrior watches the entire screen to check for threats to others trying to protect wizards and taoists in that order.He will often stop hitting the mobs attacking him and strike those mobs that are attacking characters with less hit points trying to turn them upon himself, thereby increasing the amout of damage he himself is taking. Positiong is vital, trying to line up mobs for hellfire, trying to place himself between weaker characters and mobs, while not blocking their line of sight.He moves around a lot to use thrusting where possible while trying like mad to distinguish the difference between pets and genuine maggots ( not always easy in the heat of combat i asure you ). In short his main role is that of protector of the hunt often at the expense of his own prefered fighting method.I am sure that most warriors will tell you that when faced with large numbers of mobs, the best method for him is to find a corner forcing the mobs to come to him in depth allowing maximun effect from both thrusting and halfmoon, while dramaticaly reducing the amout of hits he takes resulting in less drinking of pots. However while on a hunt he can not chose this option as he has to place others needs before his own. Often his reward for this is to be accused of grandstanding hogging the kills and generally being a pain.Oh well such is life. No we all need each other that is the beauty of the balance of the game .Leillian "your actions define who you are"

Excellent thread, and as a wiz,one fairly close to my heart. Only last week,I had to DE twice, and died once, in LDC,as a result of the tide of bugs,being carried by a certain warrior as he raced around trying to find ET.Each time,losing my pets,and wasting considerable time. Ironically the same warrior has been on this forum complaining about people luring in the KR. Over the lvls, warriors have induced more "early showers" for me, than the demon lagg,as a result of their charging in,and triggering multiple mobs.However. I would agree with previous comments, that its the person behind the charactor,and not the class itself. In my own guild, MrShush,arfweasel,Lan,LIGHTENING etc, I find to be excellent warriors,and they also appreciate and understand a wiz's a weakness's Many others,outside the guild,too many to mention,also command my respect. But there are others, who I have nothing but contempt for. Pretty much as in real life, there are a few people,who have no consideration for those around them. Now, a lvl28 wiz (though I don't consider myself a particularly good one) I have a warrior myself, started before the wiz, but now stagnating at lvl 16, as I enjoy the wiz much more, despite the frustrations and heartache,at times. I am not in a position to compare like for like, but I enjoy the tactical aspect much more.Stalking and luring individual mobs,into my waiting pets, when presented with multiples. But thats me. lets face it, we are all different, and have different tastes, and require different things to satisfy us. Its wrong to say that warriors have less "class" than the other 2 class's,for it isn't the case. As has been stated,its about the 3 charactors, and together they compliment each other. caoli
