Hi, I've recently started playing EQ2 as a halfling swashbuckler. It's my first EQ2 toon, but not my first rogue-type. I've played a rogue in WoW, a burglar in LotRO and an assassin in AoC, so I'm fairly familiar with the character type. However, I do have some questions: - As a halfling swashbuckler, what traditions do you usually opt for ? To me Vale Protector, Poison Expertise, Light on Feet and Mischieivous Strike seem like good picks initially. - Character traits: I'm thinking strength boosters, in combat hp regen etc. Don't know which resistances to opt for though. - Swashbuckler Training: I will mostly solo while leveling, with occasional grouping. What would be good picks at level 14, 24, 34, 44 etc ? - I guess opting for similar weapon delay on both hands while dualwielding is a good idea to time autoattack vs CA's better, no ? - I've read that you usually opt for rather slow weapons (around 4.0). With no haste that translates to what, around 5.0 ? Does that mean I can usually get in 3-4 CA's (depending on cast time) between autoattacks ? - What is your typical spell rotation while leveling ? (solo vs grouped) - Diety ? Any answers to these questions would be greatly appreciated! /Tea
No ones answered because most of it's all in a thread somewhere on this forum. I would suggest that you peruse the forums for a bit. Odeius has done some nice pieces recently.
I read his guide and found it to be an excellent source of information. It doesn't answer all of my questions though. For instance, I haven't found any answers for halfling/character trait picks and swashtraining picks. /Tea
Another place you could look: Swashbuckling 101 Not for the faint hearted. PS. In the 60's make sure you take the hate transfer for your Grandmaster pic.
