[Shadow Warrior] Need some tips or help please

[Theseus]

It really hurts to admit it, Felen, but trust me, you should listen to saupreusse. Every time i dont do it, i am minced meat. So concerning Warhammer he actually kows what he is talking about. At least most of the time.^^

Any advice on tactics? At 38 i use powerful draw, masterful and istinctive aim. Bull's is too situational and ofter gets me killed against mages

Is there a fast way to level shadow warrior, similar to marauder aoe grind for example.

[Elftwin95]

Hello again! I was wondering if someone could offer me some advice before I do what I am thinking about. So..I have almost 1000 BS, but would need 4 21+ Talismans to get to that. Is is worth it or should I try to get my Weapon Skill higher, whitch is currently 454 currently.

Thoughts?

Kiting pegasi in Saphery got me from 22 to 32. Then I found a friend and did the Ruin grind. That worked quite well and I got a fancy feathery cloak out of it too.


Felen, best advice I can give is practice, practice, practice! You need to get used to range so you stay out of trouble. If they're getting too close, whirling pin and get the hell out of there. Lileath's Forgiveness (M1) is fantastic, so is Focused Mind (M2) as this will "remove and ignore any silencing, disarming, rooting, snaring effects and your abilities will build 50% faster and may not be set back." for 10 seconds.

Have a look at the abilities and learn them inside out http://warhammeronline.wikia.com/wiki/S ... _abilities. Pick the ones that you think will be most useful to you - I'd say think of your failings with the class at the moment, and look for abilities that solve this.

You need to keep moving with this class, if you get caught, they pile in on you and you're mush very quickly. Of course, if you are Scout stance, just keep near the back and hurt them from a distance.

WS might do some good if you already have 900+ BS unless you plan on exclusively killing squishies

Around 2k armor, WS starts being more efficient than BS. Medium armor classes right now are running ~2800 armor, every healer worth a damn is running about the same or more (thanks armor talismans for making every healer a tank) and your light armor classes are coming in just around or about 1800-2000? Tanks are pushing past 4k.

BS is better if you are gonna be running with a WL, and honestly you should be because SW is pretty meh right now. All purpose tho, just in general I'd say WS is worth pumping a bit into.

But a big problem right now is, everyone and their uncle is using dodge/disrupt renown as a dump stat because it is so idiotically efficient for the 1st few points. So everyone is pretty much running around with flat ~20% dodge. More BS in theory should make you harder to dodge.

Also if it hasn't been said already, you should pretty much always be assisting someone else. SW really excels at it, skirmish damage output isn't exactly hard to heal through unless there are some other factors at play (bad group comps, out of position idiots, outgoing heal debuffs, etc...) Just every SC you join find someone who you think knows what they are doing and assist them 24/7 and you should notice that if you weren't doing that before you become a lot more successful.

On RoR the offensive stat only counters the avoidance from the applicable defensive stat and doesn't help against added % bonuses. So stacking BS will negate the dodge from Initative but will do nothing about the renown training bonuses.

The strikethrough effect of Strength, Ballistic Skill and Intelligence will ONLY oppose the Weapon Skill, Initiative and Willpower bonuses to avoidance. Avoidance gained from gear, renown or any other source is opposed only by the Strikethrough stat. This was done to prevent the guaranteed hardcap offensive stat of any DPS class from completely wiping out the effect of specced defenses for free.
