I haven't messed with them much other than multiclassing but a guildy of mine rolled a first life mech and had a TF gxbow with a BDR of 130something.

I was blitzing manyshot on a pinion and he was peeling agro right off me. So yeah they're pretty good.

"justify your dickishness"?! This is The Vault, how much more justification do I need?

Honestly, I thought I was mostly staying out of it. OK, I did think the Epoch and Remi 1-2 was a clever and funny slam, and I said so, but I've also laughed at slams against me, it wasn't personal against you, which I've generally avoided.

But hey, as long as I'm being dickish, I might as well take advantage of it, right? Like the old saying, as well to be hung as sheep as hung as lambs?

So how about this - since my approving of a witty barb of which you were the target irks you so much, how about if I spend some time as cheerleader for the Anti-VagMaster crowd? Would that really stick in your craw? Because what are you going to do, go after me whenever somebody zings you? Unable to hold your own against those attacking you directly, you lash out at those who laughed at their wit? Oh, wait, like you just did  Roll Eyes

I don't see that working out so well for you, honestly. Maybe you should go show off your uber builds in The Lobster PvPing some level 4 warlocks, I bet there you'd do really well on both DPS and agro, so you wouldn't have to try to figure out the difference  Roll Eyes


So you missed the part where I caved to Rubbins demands posted an EE Breaking the Ranks solo with a slightly worse time than his warlock?

And you are still not posting one because....?

Hey, good for you, did he at least buy you a nice dinner?

So which of my posted builds would you like me to prove how great it is? Just link to it, and I'll gladly show you how well it does in EE.

See, unlike some people, I'm generally not posting how uber my builds are, how I dominate the kill count, how other people can't play my builds, or what a great player I am. I'd generally rather just keep my eyes and ears open, and my mouth shut. But you, snowflake, just kinda rubbed me the wrong way on this one, so while I'm not rushing to post any uber builds, I'm having a little fun showing how dickish I can be.

Oh, and back to the subject of you caving to Rubbins, has he called you since?

Come on, Sandy is not worth the calories spent to humiliate him. It's like when a kid with obvious issues tries to mock you just so he can get a spank and feel a little of attention.

Rubbins has already fucked him bloody.

One thing for everyone who is a "skeptic" on this issue: Insurance companies are basing their underwriting on the assumption that it is real. They are refusing to write policies on homes that are likely to be in danger from rising seas 20 years from now, even though the resale rate of the homes is so high that they could keep writing policies for another 10 years and still not have to pay out on 1 policy in 5, but that would be irresponsible. Unethical, as well, but that's never stopped anyone before.

I have a stupid question:


Is there some source of guud dmg ammo for repeaters other than loot gen/AH? I mean for rogue/pally who can't imbue crap.


I'm using conjured +1 bolts cause I have 1 lvl of arti. But, I would not be surprised if I missed something obvious. Also, I know about House D +3s or whatever. But, I mean better than that.

Cannith craft bane/greater bane bolts, or holy bolts. They all became sustainable once the "fletching" ability came out.

You wanted something non-AH, but I would also point out slaying arrows are tremendous buy with fletching and stacks of 100.

Hope that helps.

You could twist lawful and good on your weapons from DC tier 3. Or the one in US, but it's tier 4 and only good.

It's not "better" but maybe more flexible than what you are using - you can UMD the Conjure Bolts scroll with a DC of 30 for all of 3 plat each. For slightly better damage you can UMD Flame Arrow for 40 plat with a 28 DC. And wands of Flame Arrow are at the House J and House P vendors. Flame Arrow now makes stacks of 500, BTW, so they don't suck as badly as they used to.

you don't have any toons with crafting levels at all?  b/c you can whip up BTA arrows and bolts of all flavors without many crafting levels.

I think my highest guy has like a 10 or something. I never got into it. I'm sure I have a metric ton of larges. I could spend some time on it, I guess. Does crude vials still work? PM on how to level quickly plox?

I usually carry a 100 stack of Flame Arrow scrolls for DPS. That's 50,000 bolts before fletching comes into play.

If you're talking about bypassing DR/Good, then you can buy Flametouched Iron Bolts at the vendor inside Chronoscope.

Pally Mechs get +1 Crit Multi but also +1 Crit Threat. Pure mechs only get +1 Multi on repeaters, and +2 Multi on Great Xbows. For solo'ing where you get a lot less SA damage, the SA dice bonuses aren't as material.

The Paladin is FAR MORE durable than the 18 Mechanic, and frankly probably a much better solo character, if just slightly slower on the raw DPS.


Holy Sword GXbow is 13-20x3
Mechanical Reloader GXbow is 15-20x4

15-20x4>13-20x3

(Repeaters aren't even worth considering because they miss out on the 20 extra sneak attack dice.)
(Silver Slinger and maybe some other named ones are still situationally useful for DR breaking though.)

Oooh... I'm interested in where the 20 extra sneak attack dice come from... please share.  All I can find are the +2 dice over repeaters from Sniper.  Please share so I can be slightly less noobish.
