need some rage vets' advice...

new rage slave:

St In Ag St Si Pr Ch
79 82 75 72 82 78 83

dual weapon or 2h weapon? dual or 2h, dual or 2h... I'm so undecided

[Cynaidh]

I'll vote Duel weapon.

That's a very interesting glad, i'd probably go duel maces run two war axes for the speed.

[Alba Kebab]

Good point about speed. I went 2h first for the lusty kills at low lvls...
But suppose I can always switch it over later when speed would be more desirable over kill counts once she gets high enough in lvl.

Oh well, on to the build first, then I'll know what she's good for.

is that one of those fancy new slaves from the HOL retirement, or was that just luck to find a regular slave with those stats?

[Cynaidh]

I was assuming it was HOL Slave with those stats. Why i would go duel wield be better off in the long run.

[Alba Kebab]

I'ts a fancy HOL retired slave of course, cost over 1060g.

Would a dw rage be able to do without the sunder armor skill? I sadly do not have any dw axe/mace glad of any school to know how the damage would measure up vs heavy armor.
If I can do without it, that's 10 valuable points I can put elsewhere.

[Kreegan]

Isn't this slave waaaay too smart for a Rage?

[Cynaidh]

Nothing wrong with a smart rage, just means more weapon skill.

I have never ran a rage without sunder armor personally but I think its a key skill it hits hard, and it makes all attacks after it hit harder.

For example:

BELGARAD swings his EPIC HAND AXE with awesome force.
BELGARAD looks to seriously damage VILLAGE FOO's armour! (-Sunder Armour-)
BELGARAD's attack lands on VILLAGE FOO's wrist creating titanic wounds! (+428 Damage)

VILLAGE FOO screams as he gets knocked to the ground by the massive shot!
BELGARAD spins around before lashing out with a brutal backhanded attack.
VILLAGE FOO backs up a few inches as BELGARAD descends upon him! (-Shock & Awe-)
A mammoth wound is opened on VILLAGE FOO's shoulder blade! (+1370 Damage)

More str and Sta over brains would be nice, but you gotta roll with what you got.

Personally I don't like my guys too dumb, but that's probably my experience with theatrics speaking.
