The "Should I Get This Slave" Thread

[Zinzan]

not sure to get this would be my second slave simply to get to retirement as quickly as possible:

Strength 64 Intellect 71 Agility 67 Stamina 79 Size 69 Presence 59 Chi 57

I've got my HoL slave now. what do you guys think about this one

Thanks for your opinions. I decided to pick her cause the other stats than int were so nice. Propably would pass but I spent so much time + trophies to find perfect slave for speed rage and didn't have patience to wait any longer

79-76-93-84-91-75-61 what you guys think I should do with it? I definitely want to get it, I'm thinking perhaps defensive theatrics? What do you all think?

Edit: I need answers within the next 14 hours before my market refreshes! *anxiety intensifies* XD

[Stormcloak]

I would definitely pick that one up! Theatrics would be a strong contender. Could also consider a blade or polearm warrior theatrics hybrid. I'm jealous!

[FrosteeFyre]

Thanks Storm, I'm iffy about making a blades war after my first glad of that type, and I've never liked Polearm wars, I think (unless other comments can sway me) I'll make him into a Theatrics, won't purchase until the end of the day, to give everyone who plans on commenting time to do so :P

[Kuljem]

--EDITED-- PLEASE

I want that one!!

I just bought my first HoL that was suppose to have exactly those stats, but i got tired of waiting and bought first that came over 1100. :@
GRRRRR



Definitely make Theatric/War hybrid. More offensive/defensive depends on your main tree.
Take good care of that one, lucker. :P

Hey Kuljem,

Perhaps you'd like to consider editing that comment a bit in case some inadvertently find offense. Just my 2 cents.

As for Frostee's glad - that would work well with any agility-based build. It depends on what you want to try and what you already have in your stable. If you've already got a speed theatrics, then try something new. Speed Rage? Hit 'n' Run Rage? Speed Shadow?

If you're set on defensive theatrics (the kind with shield and defense boosts), good luck to you. Unless you mean skill theatrics (entangle, signature moves) - then I'd say there are some that balance int and agi to be successful and others who emphasize mainly agi. In any case, that build is versatile enough to be many things and can always be rebuilt to something else if your first idea doesn't work.

Thanks for the tips Adoede and Kulj (don't worry, I'm Canadian, we don't get offended easily, no offense taken ) I'm gonna see what I can do, going the theatrics route, gonna utilize the high agi, really wanna see what I can do with this guy

[Adoede]

Hmmm...I can't decide whether or not to pick this guy up...

Str 90
Int 89
Agi 79
Sta 90
Siz 80
Pre 66
Chi 58
Cost 1140 gp

I'd have to switch out one of my lvl 55 guys to get him...seems like he'd be a good War or Power theatrics, but I don't like his Chi being so low. But with only 552 stat points and a cost of 1140 gp, he rates as likely to have the highest luck score I've ever seen. If I had an open slot, I'd take a flyer on him. But since I'd have to retire either my lvl 55 skill theatrics or polearm war for him, I'm not so sure. Leaning towards a 'no' unless somebody can convince me he'd be great (Kreegan - you have good experience with Power theatrics...what do you think?)
