Anyone got time to discuss rages...

[Cynaidh]

My rages are just my most under performing glads in my stables, I just can't figure them out, their stats seems good for what I am trying to do with them but yet my arms glads are throwing down more damage then them, if anyone has time to listen to my questions just shoot me a private notification.

[Apoca1ypse]

what style rage are you going?
what is your stat distribution?
what is your skill distribution?

knowing these will help answer your question

[Cynaidh]

Well there are two of the, one is duel weilding the other is two handed weapons stats and skills as below:

Duel Weilder:
str 85, int 65, agil 69, sta 74, size 75, pres 64, chi 93
8 axes and maces, 3 barreling, 2 brute foruce, 1 dev power, 3 blood drunk, 2 sunder armor, 1 fient, 1 create distance

two hander:
str 85, 66 int, 69 agil, 76 sta, 64 size, 55 pres, 85 chi
7 two handed weapons, 2 barreling, 2 brute foruce, 2 dev power, 3 blood drunk, 2 sunder armor, 1 create distance

I'm incredibly jealous of your 1st gladiator.

both your glads lack agility. I would make both of them 2H rage and run high strength/chi and look for those big hits.


regardless, get your weapon skill up to 8 or 9 on both, and start getting brute force up.

skills I'd use to begin with. get them to 8 points each.

weapon
brute force
sunder armor
blood drunk
last stand
rampage

if you lack points to be able to access the next tier, just throw in a couple random trains. armor skill probably.

also, dont bother with create distance. its a defensive skill and wont proc when you use berserk.






....damn I'm jealous of your 1st glad so much chi!

[Cynaidh]

so you think its worth the loss in training points to drop the 8 in axes and maces to pick up two - handed weapon on the first guy?

I been running them 6 activity/6 bloodlust berserk, and then slowing down to 4/4 bash when mod tired.... does that sound about right?

[Apoca1ypse]

personally, I'd train up brute force first, then rampage and last stand. only when you need extra trains to unlock the 4th tier skills (55 trains) would I start training up 2H weapons.

as for strat, i'd run zerk and then killshot when your tired. once you have last stand at 5/10, swap it to be killshot when you are very injured

Thanks Apoca1ypse,

I'll be giving all this a try.

I personally would 7/3 or 7/4 beserk or bash with your duel wielder

and would 6/4 your 2 hander with beserk or bash. Use that as your primary and then set up Kill shot on other triggers of your choosing. Start with those strategies and tweak for your glads liking. You want them to hit accurately and often. Hope that helps.

How DO you set up a Kill shot? I've heard people talking about that A LOT but not sure if it's a strategy, or just a setting of your strategy...

[Apoca1ypse]

it's a strategy you get a bit after berserk
