Fingon Posted December 22, 2001 Share Posted December 22, 2001 I am doing some research on here and I am thinking I will be going either Thane or Shaman. What kind of offensive capabilites do these guys have? Is it the tipical slow start for a magic user, but once you are experienced you are quite powerfull? Damn, k definatly doing Thane route. Just read some impressive stuff about them. Dual hammers, hmm interesting. Fing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martok Posted December 23, 2001 Share Posted December 23, 2001 Don't think of a thane as a magic user. A thane is a mix between melee and spellcasting. They are not the best at either. A thane is typically the puller of MOBs in any group, and in RvR, they typically use Mjolnir's Hammer spell into a group of enemies. Balandar can tell you much more about a Shaman than I can, but Shamans are similar to thanes. Warriors are better melee than a thane, runemaster better spellcaster than a thane. Healers are better healers than shaman, and runemasters have better DD spells than shamen. Its all up to your playstyle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balandar Posted December 24, 2001 Share Posted December 24, 2001 Thanes are better in melee than shamans, since they can protect and guard. Shamans are better soloers since they can heal and cast dd spells. Shamans have the only dot spell in midgard (damage over time). It all depends on how you spec your character. As a healer/cave user, healer/augmentation, augmentaion/cave. They get chain armor at 20 and can use small shields, but mostly they hang back and shimmy up the faltering lines in a group. Sometimes they act as primary healer (unless you piss them off). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ser Brightblade Posted December 25, 2001 Share Posted December 25, 2001 Methinks Fing is a Thane through and through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fingon Posted December 25, 2001 Author Share Posted December 25, 2001 Actually right now I am leaning towards the Runemaster. I always have liked frying people. But it won't be for a few days anyways. DaOC is on its way, was shipped today (24th) So I am assuming it won't get here till 26th or 27th. And then I will have to wait on my computer which will be some time this week. I can't wait to get in DaOC with you guys though. Merry Xmas guys and gals.

Fingon Posted December 26, 2001 Author Share Posted December 26, 2001 Nice, my system is 900 mHz, 256 mb ram, 20 gig hd, 64 meg video card, decent sound system didn't really care about that. Overall its pretty decent. If I need to I'll go for a better chip, my mother board can hold way more than what I am getting. the chip i am getting was only 100 bucks, 1.4 gh was over 350, so for the money I didn't feal it was worth it. I can always pump that up later if I need to. Can't wait to get up and running. Fing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
