ATHEN PALADINS FORUMS (in remaking)

AR doesn't matter much in PVM.

Besides, the check is 97% duck so you get a natural boost.

You only need to make sure you're operating at 100% (not OE).

The trader drains help with critical % too, but advy seems pretty solid too.

yea it's also got a boosted AR because it uses 97% duck EXP as the check, which mean you get a boost to your natural attack rating ratio, which boosts crit and hit rate.

It's not the same as getting a 3% AR boost, but it's kinda close.

If you're talking about AR soldier, I'd go something like:

8 heavy range
10 power up
10 colossal health
10 special forces
2 genius/freak strength

ya honestly Buster, MP's do pretty well with melee or range. My understanding, from this thread: http://forums.anarchy-online.com/showthread.php?612467-MP-DPM-capability-and-quot-best-quot-setups Is that the Crit bow setup swappable to arith / nanoskill stuff, will probably serve you pretty well. It...

I won't claim to know a lot about MP's, but... There are some valid reasons to consider what you want to do carefully. Here's some things to consider: If you go 1HB, you'll IP MM which helps equip the RH/LH phulaks (1210 MM for both) https://aoitems.com/item/238932/pensive-spirit-phulakterion/ https...

Or put a PDKP on an Agent (that thread on AO forums is a little nuts). Soldier doesn't need to be MAX damage. Just posting the alternatives. I've been thinking about reinstalling AO just so I an try this setup out. my 200 agent is mostly finished research and has a colossal XP pool so I think I cou...

@ hyde I wouldn't say significantly. The problem is lack of diversification from "tried and true" set ups (usually meaning right after this AI raid I'm going to Tara, and I'm not interested in swapping gear). Here's the thing, Anger of xan, say, as your preferred AR rifle, has a enormous m...

waaat I didn't know ustar was in NZ.

That makes so much sense tho...

brain explodes.

better a brain than a gas line I guess.

Interesting stuff!

Thanks ustar

My favoured setup is a crit based 2HE setup with reaver+cybernetic samurai perked for offence, and coon/blessing for defence. The dual equip setup is also good from what I've seen, but to be honest I haven't tried it. What I can testify to is that the crit setup with pride of xan is pretty ridiculou...

IDBEP and AMEP require pretty nominal Tskills. The Perfected kick pistol requires more.. but for an engi it's pretty easy. To be perfectly honest, The shotgun has only marginal value on Engies. Engi gets a shit tonne of AR for pistol via pistol buffs and mech eng, so you end up with a pretty stupid ...

This is probably woefully out of date, but here's a setup I was using for raiding/PVE before I quit. http://auno.org/ao/equip.php?saveid=202460 I have AIT 3 perked, and can swap into: http://auno.org/ao/equip.php?saveid=202461 And TS QL 300 mutated AI armor without city lab.
