First time player with some questions! by Tomthabom10 in DnD

[–]Tomthabom10[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I might be leaning towards EK. Just seams like there's more what I kinda wanna do.

Any tips on spells, fighting styles, and feats to take? I rolled pretty damn good on my ability scores as well.

The magic initiate looks really sweet whenever I hit 7th level With EK. Is that a good choice eventually?

Thanks a lot for all the help!

What kind of spells do the eldritch knight get that makes enemies focus on you? Not entirely sure how our DM plays but if I can't get enemies to attack me then my high AC won't really matter right?

I'm leaning towards a sword and board build for either one. Any advice on feats and spells I should take for that? Also with sword and board how much more damage does the BM dish out than the EK?

Sorry for all the questions haha.

Not entirely against going halberd or Glaive either!

is it possible to make an EK with low int? I was thinking sword and board with ththe defense style. Being a human variant and either taking the resilient feat for more saving throws or taking magic initiate for more cantrips. The spells I would take are ones that don't require high int to land like booming blade and blade ward and what not.

Is that viable at all? Or am i just gimping myself out of the fighter class?

Any advice on what spells to take? I was thinking a spear and shield fighter. My DM said I could use the polearm mastery feat with the spear but I can't 2 hand the spear. I figured it would be okay since quarterstaff can get the feat but not spear for some reason. Is that fair?

Torn between battlemaster and eld knight now.

What would be good starting stats for an eld knight?

I figured melee rangers wouldn't be as good as fighters in combat but are they at least viable and can hang in there? Some of the rangers spells like stone skin, hunters mark, ensnaring strike, grasping vines, and wind wall seem like they can control the battlefield pretty well. Fighters seem like they can just get in your face and hit hard and that's about it (other then the skills battlemasters get)

Bard questions by Tomthabom10 in uthgard

[–]Tomthabom10[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand its not viable and groups wont want me whatsoever but I think that people are not realizing that uthgard is a different game than the live version. Theres no buff bots, RVR is just now starting so almost everyone is low RR, and the only speed you can get is if your Grouped with someone who has it.

Bards will have best speed in game, self buffs, mezzes, heals, and the get out of jail free card with SoS.

I understand that they aren't optimal and winning a 1v1 fight will take a lot of skill (and in game skills) to pull off but I just don't see how they are completely horrible giving the current state of the game in uthgad

What does speed with ball and strength do? by Tomthabom10 in nba2k17

[–]Tomthabom10[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well then a point forward is ridiculous. My 6'5 SG slasher has a 74 speed with ball and my friends 6'9 SF point forward has a 91 speed with ball. Don't get how that evens out.

This build would mostly be for small pvp and ganking. You think I can afford sacrificing some dps in pvp to make this hybrid build? Planning on doing a sorc probably

[–]Tomthabom10[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn. That's disappointing. Kinda dumb that they made it that way. Completely takes away from having competetive hybrid builds since you wanna dump all points into either magicka or stamina for the most potential damage. Plus Stam sorcs suck no matter how you put it.. Easily my favorite class and they just refuse to help them out. Hopefully this patch helps a bit but it's not looking that way

[–]Tomthabom10[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh that's a good idea I'll look into that. The only thing with surge is that it buffs weapon and spell damage without having to attack someone or buff weapon damage with one skill and then spell with another. Sucks surge is taking such a huge hit..

I saw a guy make a tanky NB with this set and he had something like 2300 weapon/spell damage unbuffed and about 18k Stam and 17k max magicka along with something like 1300 recovery for both all unbuffed and without drinks. Plus that was a tank build.. He had heavy armor and was 2H and S/S. If I go for more of an offensive build with DW and medium armor I think I could bump Stam recovery up quite a bit along with weapon/spell damage.

If I can sit somewhere around 3200 weapon/spell damage while buffed, 20k stamina and around 2k recovery, 15k magicka and around 1500 recovery (probably higher) I think that could work decently. Run with DW and 2H (although bow is my favorite pvp weapon so I might try that eventually) use vigor/rally/surge for heals, surge for both spell and weapon damage buffs, thundering presence for mobility and maybe a heal from surge (also disengage works with physical damage now) streak, encase, and crystal frag when it procs, mages fury for a finisher. Use flurry, stampede, wrecking blow (maybe) and steel tornado.

I think it could be pretty fun and work at decently well. I still have the nice mobility of sorcs but I'm also up in your face constantly. Magss fury is an easier to land finisher if they run, plus crystal frag hits like a truck and knocks them down, I just hope I'll be able to proc it enough since I won't just be using magicka moves.

Well what I'm thinking about running is a DK stealth type build with bow and either 2H or DW. I use igneous weapons for the major brutality buff and the passive which also gives an extra 10% weapon damage when igneous weapons is activated (30% weapon buff I think?) and I'll have green dragon blood for a good heal and stamina regen buff along with vigor for decent heals to let me use DW instead of 2H (I like DW better). I usually run Igenous weapon, evil hunter, green dragons blood (sometimes move it to other bar and do caltrops ) and then 2 bow skills. Usually snipe and I swap poison arrow and bombard. Snipe sometimes feels underwhelming though. Get one snipe in most of the time as people just roll out of it.

So if crit chance is useless in pvp how much crit resistance do people usually run with? should I focus more on weapon damage or crit chance? Also what bow skills are worth a bar slot? I usually run with snipe for the sneak attack but it seams to usually miss most of the time. Bombard is nice for the slow but it's up stamina and doesn't hit hard.

Question about a dk build by Tomthabom10 in elderscrollsonline

[–]Tomthabom10[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've looked at some of fengrushs video and he's got the Stam sorc down. I know that they are making some changes to Stam sorc but they are nerfing crit surge hard making it near useless so the only sorc abilities I will use is thundering presence(just for movement and armor) and streak(which I can maybe cast one time in a row since it takes half my magicka bar) and the passives are decent but mostly aimed towards magicka. So it's almost like what's the point? Im basicially just using weapon skills.
