Disley... brave move m8, but be warned... if you think levelling is hard now, try 20-28 cos it gets harder! Seriously though, if you want to be a group player there is no better character to play.

It is worth bearing in mind that Kristel's comments about using the wiz character come after reaching level 26 as a Taoist, so the comparisons made must be fairly realistic.

I group all of the time, and a warrior in the group made an important observation whilst looking over a Taoist's shoulder... playing as a Taoist involves so much more work, especially when grouped.

Of course, we need to keep an eye on our mp and hp levels like any other player, but there the similarity ends. Even solo, we are checking the amulet usage or poison usage because there is nothing more embarrassing that the arm going up and nothing happening. Then when we group the fun starts.... at lower levels it's healing during fights or between them... ok that's easy. Then add soul shield when Magic attack incoming, followed by Blessed armour the rest of the time. Next, throw in using mass hiding when needed (and getting it right... its damned hard to do right and not just end up with mobs wandering off not getting killed) and keeping your skele under control. Now... you're doing all of that and you want to use poison too.... can be done, but it is really tough! Add revelation and you're gonna know when people need healing... it's getting a bit mind-boggling.

See what I mean? Now that is challenging! Oh for an easy life!

And I now know why, js7, heh =)

You did forget to add Trap Hex. Omg that really is a tricky thing to use. I've been sooooo close to death several times 'cause i've been busy keeping my eye on those things. Yea you can take the rats on 1 by 1 as long as the rest is trapped but those traps dont last forever and they gotta be refreshed all the time. Oi oi, hard work on top on everything else. Not to mention all the space the extra amulets use up now. 1 row was hard to lose but two..eeek.

Also my luck in Zuma has turned so that i get the big drop 2 minutes after i just got there, and have a bag full of pots and amulets, and not when im heading towards the exit after a couple of hours.

Yes, i make many friends that way...
!Big drop @ 216:142 - pots and eq for those who want.

Ah, so hard to make a living atm when you cant carry any loot.

Edit:
Anyone notices the pet thinge with traphex vs eshock.
Wiz' can shock our bonehead but we cant trap his pets.
Another GODLY thing for the wiz'.
IMHO the Wiz' need alot more tweaking(downwards) than any other class.

I think turn undead was given to wizards just to masacre our level 7 skellies.

js7 btw try leveling when you reach 35... I've made 4% in the last 4 days. I have only played a fraction of the time I used to though, shinsu was too much of a disappointment for me to continue playing. But then again, I knew it was gonna suck.

DivAvenger, now that your leveling has become kind of pointless, you want to go WB/ET/SZG hunting together? You warrior, me Tao, heh =)

Btw, WHERE is our multi target attack thingie???? Will we ever get one? Or will they fix hiding so it works? In pvp too?

We should be able to trap wiz pets... Otherwise they have an unfair advantage in PvP, freezing our skele. Making traphex trap mobs that are 2 lvls above ours would be a good improvement also, just like the infamous e-shock does.

i remember when me and you had out Tao threads going, yours was already flaming when i wrote mine, and after a week or 2 we had 6 pages each, but having no reply from GMs i decidec to close mine, Not knowing that we needed 20 pages to get their atention strange really

so this coulda been me all though you do it prettier

Congrats and its nice to hear that GM's actually read things ok maybe only things with 1 post or 900 but nothin in between, lifes a bltch ah well

enjoy the glory babes. and dont party too hard in uni

I mean, each induvidual is measured in skill during a pvp situation. WEMADE have made the Taos born losers and kept them there.
We cant hide from them. We dont have multiattacks. We cant trap anything but mobs. We dont have enough shortcuts to use all our spells and poison is usually the first to go out when we have to chose between them. Even IF we keep poison in, we gotta do the F9-switch-F10 thingie and will be long dead before we get the amulet back in place. We get all the crappiest weapons/eq's in Mir.

WTF are we gonna do? Heal them to death?

Undead - killed by healing, makes sense?

Acutally it does maks sense. Being the class we are, we are devoted to the pure. Atleast thats how it is in *ALL* other RPGs.
Never seen a healer that works for the dark side though sometimes a Necromancer have some sort of healing skill.

I can only come to the conclusion that Mir has nothing to do with RPG. It goes out of all pre-set rules for what a class should be.
The wizards gets "our" spell, Turn Undead. Which btw kill our skellies in one single blow.

Man, i hate this game and what WEMADE are doing to the genre.

Yea, i hate WEMADE.

Atm every improvement for a Tao stops at lvl28! Yea, we got absolutly nothing to look forward to beyond that point. Mass healing is useless as it uses up too much mana. Shinsu... well, we've been there.

I, as a testor, is leveling ALL my spells in the field. No standing around a guard summoning skellie, no standing in BW rev everyone that comes by etc.

Okay, im lvl28 and here is my spells:

Healing: Went to lvl3 as fast as it could. 1 fight=3 heals.

Spiritsword: Went up fast too. With the amount of times we need to kill a mob, it went really fast.

Poison: As the only spell i leveled that one on purpose. So i got it at lvl1 but no shortcut key for it. Go figure *rolls eyes*

SFB: Got lvl3 the other night. Its finally a bit usefull.

Hiding. Well got it on lvl1 at lvl26. Since i've gotten trap hex i dont use it much. Only against Bugbatmaggots.

Skeleton: lvl1 at 3000/4000. Yup, long way to go and i bet im the only lvl28 around with a lvl1 bonehead. Something REALLY need to be changed about the leveling of that spell.

Mass Hiding. Use it pretty much as mcuh self hiding. Still its only halfway to lvl1.

Soul Shield: Its still at lvl0, around 1000 xp up. Dont use it anymore, needed the shortcut key for trap hex. Besides with our high AMC and the mobs using magic attacks i dont see any need for that spell.

Blessed Armor: Halfway to lvl1. I use it when i remember to cast it between fights.

Revelation: A spell i wont mind leveling up on purpose since you get out revel in healing when you get it to lvl2. Still, its only halfway to lvl1.

Trap Hex: Got around 1000 left to lvl1. Yup, here's a usefull spell and it looks cool too so alot of fooling around with it *grin*

So, thats pretty much how your spells would look if you dont stand around leveling them and only use them in the field.

Wonder what the two other classes would say if they had simular stats for their spells.

...............God damn it! why will you people not stop this 22 pages is sheer madness do you expect people to read it all?

AGHHHH!!!!!!! (Ok i admit i'm jelous ^_^)

News for ya all i finally got round to starting a Tao on the pheonix his name isn't Archeon (i'm sick of people MSGing me with flames on dragon) and i'm not saying what it is but its fun i could solo zombies at lvl 10 without using more than 2 MP pots why are you complaining Tao's rule and are a lot more fun than warriors (even though we couyld still whoop your asses (skellies too))

Well Cya ^_-

Level 3 summon, SC 7-17, level it up to 7, beats lvl 25 warrior. Beats 2 red boars easily. High AC, attack speed, you'll see, it's well worth it.

Oh, trap at level 1 - you can trap rats, and all bugs except tongs, so it's really useful, too. SS, BA, they add 0-1 every level up, SS is useless, BA is very very useful.

Hiding, I like hiding, but not mass hiding... which I have to use on group hunts. Or, now that I have to protect lvl 7 skelly, I use mass instead, but it's much slower to respond than the regular one.

I can't wait to get to lvl 30 to trap those stupid BBMs. Oh, how to level trap hexagon? Go gather some poison ingredients and trap everything in sight, it won't take long.

RentAHeal

About trap hex, well since i only do Zuma, i know what can and what cant be trapped (at lvl28 with lvl 0 trap). Rats and bugbats can be trapped. Moths and Maggots cant. Usually they also tend to get in the way of an attemt to trap rats/bats. Friggin annoying as the trap fails completly instead of just trapping the rats and let the moths fly through it.

I also went to mines in a ghoul hunt. Saw something quite funny. Zombies can be trapped of course but e-zombs is a different story.
If you hide, use trap on them, they go yellow'ish like a trapped mob. But as soon as you unhide, the trap collapses and they start sending high powered voltage towards you.

Bug? Hey, its Mir, of course the Tao skills are infected with bugs or else we might enjoy all 3 hours we are online and not throw a fit when our skills dont work as they should.

But, point well taken, if they are trapped, they are trapped, why do we have to worry about them, and we are not even close to the hexagon?

P.S. fast summon leveling: go with all DC, skellies die much faster, heh

OnTopic: I've been frequenting WT 1F the last few days... Quite empty place, only time I get in trouble is when 3+ Woomas decide to ambush me - it's a good place for xp, if you don't mind the "slower than ZT going" and crappy drops. I've also gotten more training for BA & SS than in any other place (safezone idling not counted).

ph33r my post count!

has any improvements been made apart from the trap?

Ranged attacks are not trapped.

Give us the ability to trap wizards' pets, if they can shock our own.
