Re: Statue Group (Howie and Obadiah)

[Novacat]

I think we should try to get a third to assist us. I could tank, but we would still need a summoner. I could also melee CPB. I'm just going to prepare and post all three gears from my collection.

What do you think about asking for a third, Xyel?

[Novacat]

Illusion Tank Gear

Selected gear: 56/57 charms

Florian's Utopia x1
Nerman's Defender x5
Providential Bulwark x3
Gauntlets of the Basilisk x2
Shield of the Whale x5
Jade Shield x5
Dense Mithril Legplates x4
Gorgon Shield x5
Power Leak x4
Feet Bind x1
Echo Shield x4
Glorious Protector x3
Blood Aegis x5
Jade Ring x4
Sacred Defense x5

Runes: Armor, Ward, Debuff [can replace Debuff]

Illusion Summon-AoE Gear

Selected gear: 44/57 charms

Phoenix Offspring x4
Lesser Summoning x3
Mana Leech x5
Hound x5
Ghost Drakeling x5
Yellow Whelp x5
Skeleton x1
Duelist Sprite Invocation x2
Summon Imp x3
Summon Spiderling x1
Deflagration x2
Hand of Sulfur x5
Chimera Ghost x2
Sanctified Hammer x1

Runes: Summon, Fire, Mace

[Xyel]

We can actually try 1 more time with the current lineup, but I will shorten the tank gear by a lot. Last time we failed by 56 HP + you exhausting...

I will see if I can up my summoning on QuiZy to R2 quickly - that would let us run you as a tank, xyel as melee and quizy as summoner + aoe.

[Tabernacle]

Maralyth is set up for summon, debuff and spirit if you guys need her.

[Novacat]

Lies Will Tank

Selected gear: 57/57 charms

Evil Crusher x5 (Mace)
Shakine Hammer x4 (Mace)
Mace of Perseverance x3 (Mace)
Claws of Dark Wisdom x5 (Fist)
Light's Embrace x2 (Holy)
Soul Healing x5 (Holy)
Mind Cheer x2
Guardian Angel x5 (Holy)
Cerulean Rod x5 (Lightning)
Star Necklace x5
Demonic Will x3
Challenger's Psychic Shield x3 (Armor)
Azure Ring of Hope x5 (Ward)
Boiling Blood x3
Crown of Prestige x2 (Debuff)


Willpower: 114 + 43 cumulative, and -75 to next spirit total, +50 cumulative will from aura

Note that this configuration currently uses too many runes. I am definitely taking armor, ward, Holy, and Lightning. Debuff might be useful, but may be needed elsewhere; I only have two of those anyways, but they are ongoing spirit penalties. Mace would be useful as well, as it provides both direct willpower and to-next spirit negation. The Fist charm can easily be removed. I thought I would request it as it provides a cumulative will aura.

Edit: Removed Fist and Debuff runes, added in plain willpower charms to 57 spirit.

Edit: Removed Blood Boil, a buff charm, and added in more plain willpower charms to 57 spirit.

[Xyel]

remove crown of prestige - I will play it 5x in the spirit deck - that one needs debuff invariably anyways. Also, I will need fist for the armor destruction as its the best anti-armor meleeattack type available. Dont think it has too many runes - I will have 62 + 5 EAs on spirit and 63+some EAs on melee...

Also it would be cool if you could add subjugate(s), should you have them.

[Obadiah]

Sorry guys, my son caught something over the weekend and I had to take him to the doctor yesterday. I'm back today.

[Obadiah]

Nova, what role you taking in Discord?

[Novacat]

I've been doing melee CPB.

[Xyel]

So far the setup has been:
illu/discord/lies
me: tank/debuff/spirit
nova: summon/melee/willtank
my alt: melee/tank/armor destruction

So I guess it would be great if you could step in for my alt, because he has 0 reasons to do the statues and the constant gear switching annoys me greatly.

[Obadiah]

I'll take a look at my charms, post what I have for tanking and armor destruction. See if it's sufficient to take over for your alt.

Tanking set:
Shield of the Whale x5
Grand Shield x5
Blacksand Shield x5
Golem Shield x3
Magma Shield x5
Air Wall x5
Six-Points Crystal Ward x2
Chromatic Boots x5
Embroidered Robe x5
Emblem of Support x5
Shadowspawn Shell x3
Echo Shield x4
Shield of the Brave x3
Helm of Repentance x2

I would like to use Salamath's Judgment, but its Tech and I don't know what runes you are playing for Discord.

What runes are open for Armor destro and how much spirit do I need to stay between?

[Xyel]

no need for judgments, you may want to replace air walls/blacksand shields(shields of the brave/helm of repentance with some cumulative armor/ward - pyric/prismatic charges come to mind - its the statue that will take the most damage + have focus on itself often.

For lies, dont forget that you will not be using buff runes in the melee - so no night cloak, bloodpact, release karma..etc

[Obadiah]

Ok how about:
Shield of the Whale x5
Grand Shield x5
Golem Shield x3
Magma Shield x5
Six-Points Crystal Ward x2
Chromatic Boots x5
Embroidered Robe x5
Emblem of Support x5
Shadowspawn Shell x3
Echo Shield x4
Pyric Charge x4
Prismatic Charge x2
Elemental Link x3
Blood Aegis x1

For Lies, just straight melee charms with no buffs? How many charms should I be putting together so I'm between the tank and the spirit decks?

[Novacat]

I've been serving as the willpower tank, and my spirit is limited to 58 at the moment, and had been 57.

[Obadiah]

My spirit is limited to 57. Is Tech open for Lies?

If Tech is open I can use these:
Mercenary Clash x5
Mercenary Impact x5
Mercenary Brawl x5
Which destroy lots of armor per charm. (79, 71, 65 respectively)

[Novacat]

Tech is never open; the NPC ally uses Tech.

[Novacat]

If you would prefer melee for Discord, I was also hoping to tank a little more as I need to finish the Defender skill. I would still be summon-AoE for Illusion, unless someone else can handle it.

As for Lies, I can back down to 56; as it is I am throwing in every will charm except the kitchen sink.

That being said, parties are up with the roles as they were stated by Xyel. Join!

[Obadiah]

Figures...alright.

For my armor destro deck I have:
Hyphused Swinger x5
Slash and Thrust x2
Challenger's Axe x2
Champion's Sigil x5
Glorious Puncher x5
Hyphused Beater x5
Fighter's Claws x5
Echoing Lance x5
Inspiring Spear x3
Vital Point x5
Challenger's Smasher x5
Mercenary Blade x5
Mercenary Francisca x5

Should be ready to go for all 3.

[Obadiah]

Ok, just waiting for Xyel to join Illusions first, then I'll join. Already in the other 2.

[Xyel]

no need to wait for me anywhere, you just need summoner in illusions as n1, the others dont matter at all

[Xyel]

throw out the holy charms from the tank gear

and the buff charms from statue of lies gear

[Novacat]

Holy has been removed from Discord melee deck! Sorry, my best maces are Holy but I can do without them. Holy is a tank charm, and you can leave those charms in if you'd like.

[Novacat]

No buff on Lies for the destruction, Obadiah. This includes Inspiring Spear.

[Xyel]

oh and as far as the tank gear goes, please remove golem/grand shields and replace with something that doesn't have protect - too high chance you kill yourself early. Also the will is probably exclusive to will of tarsos, which doesn't fit at all as its a weak protect charm (you got more than enough protect already) so imo its much better for nova to have his maces.

[Obadiah]

Ok, replacing golem and grand, took out will of tarsos. Took out the spear for lies.

Really don't have anything to replace them with except for Basilisk Scale x3.
