OK, not to sound like a total n00b, how exactly does AC work? I have only played for about a year, so there are some intricacies of the game that I havent worked out yet.

It SEEMS to me that my Iksar enjoys decent damage mitigation for the AC that he has (1.3k unbuffed). But I am not sure what it does except make me harder to kill via melee.

Can anyone post for me a link, or explanation of how this works?

Let's see, leegattenby knows who Brael is but dunno what AC is nor how it works? Dude, do you know Bart Simpson?

So do you really know who's Brael or you just BSing about who or what you know?

First of all, u shouldnt of gone there...

Second, I did not claim to be an expert in EQ. The fact that I know who Brael is is because I do a lot of research (Knowing who Brael is is easy if u read the Shadowknight.org posts). I thanked Shuiken for the link, but I have yet to see a formula that breaks down AC avoidance and AC mitigation. Even the link I was given doesnt show it. If you could provide me that formula I would be greatful. Unless of course, u dont know it either.

I am amazed on how a self professed n00b (only one year of play and a main who is a lvl 56 SK) such as myself could possibly know who Brael is, when u sir (who has done 1000 raids) does not.

I'm wondering which is more stupid, myself asking an intelligent question or u posting anything at all.

Leegattenby, STFU dude. Youre only level 56 and you certainly dunno squat about what youre talking about. Getting all your info from this board and shadowknight.org dont mean you know chit. There's a difference between hands on experience and reading other's opinions. Until you have at least one level 65 with at least 300 AAs, I suggest you just STFU for good cause alot of the stuffs you said on other posts are meaningly except just opinions from a n00b.

You need an example? Big whoopie if you know who Brael is. Knowing him dont make you a uba SHD as you think. Thinking it does is as retarded as your opinions.

According to the recent posting for SOE, the majority of players are lvl 30-lvl 50. What I have posted IS relevant.

However, thanks for cleaning it up (post wise). Every board needs a good troll.

Btw, whats up with your fetish with Bael. You sound almost as bad as Luna and his rantings about stun. Its like every post. Who friggen cares if I know who Bael is. Ive never met his toon in RL. R U suffering for Bael inadaquacies or what?

Thats exactly my point ******. Who gives you the right to critize and blast someone for not knowing who a board troll is on shadowknight.org? If you dont like the way I get on your case for knowing who he is, you better STFU next time when someone ask who another person is. If you wanna be a smartass and flame others, you better be able to take back the criticisms otherwise shut up and sit down.

haha, Bael a board troll? Naw, more like the king of parsing and logarithms.

As for giving it out and taking crap. Note that I never took a side until u went into ur tirades of inappropriate posts. Thats when I drew the line. I poke fun at every everyone, Luna, u, havent gotten to Shruiken yet (he's on my server and would probably kick my ***).

EQ and other MMPG's are social games. I play them with my sons because its something that we can do together. If Im at a restraunt and I hear something highly inappropriate, I will say something. When I see crap that people post or tell, expect me to stand up and say something.

I have 3 (going on 4 btw) kids, served 15 years in the military and now work for Law Enforcement. I have kicked more *** (in RL) and seen more things (some good, some really bad) then most people in two lifetimes. I have led men in combat, some of who never made it back btw. If u think that ur punk *** can keep up with me, war of words or otherwise, bring it.

Freedom of speech is a wonderful thing. Just remember next time when u flame me punk, its because of me and my brothers in arms that u have that right.

Heh, I wouldn't do such a thing now, I'm a decent guy, besides your SK is higher than mine.

I think Squire Rexz is a little mad about the remarks we had made about his uber human sk that has never gotten stunned on his 1,000s of raids because he is never the main tank which is pretty sad IMO, either his guild has some uber (human) warriors or he is a mana sponge. Let's guess which one it is . . .

Leegattenby, You sound more like a punk then anything else and all you thrive for in your miserable life is physical conflict. Im not saying I believe you but I dont give a fook if you served in the military for 15 years or your entire life. Im not afraid if you personally killed 100 men in combat alone. Im not even afraid if you hit me....which you'll likely want to do with your short and uncontrollable temper.

Perosnally I thought you might have been a 16 year old punk wasting time daily posting BS comments about what you think you know on how to play everquest, but it's amazing that you have 3 kids and served 15 years in the military, you gotta be what at least a 40 year old punk. When are you gonna grow up and behave your age instead of picking fights with people on the computer? OMFG you gotta be the DUMBEST OF ALL DUMBA$$ moron punk out in the world. Just because your hiding behide a computer, you think youre a tough guy. Personally if you was standing in front of me, I would smack you so silly, you'll stop talking trash with tales from the crypt about your past life. DUDE, youre at least 40 now, GROW UP!!!

I almost forgot to mention, I think Moogs wants a word with you also. Good luck trying to find a new guild.

Sorry for the short earlier post.

I know Moogs. He is halfling druid, and leader of Caelitus guild if I remember correctly. I have fought besides his toon on occasion. I however, am not part of his guild.

First, I need to know your location and probably an email or another point of contact. I do not want to bore anyone else about our endless banterings. I live in alaska, but I do frequent the lower 48 states. We would need to sign a mutual waiver of liability and set a place to fight. The best places are tough man contests or bars that do ring fights. We would have to contact them to set up a grudge match fight. I have did this before and it is no big deal. There are some boxing clubs that would host a grudge, but that depends on the area.

Again, area is important because of the liability waivers. In florida, I think minimum age is 18 (same as some areas of Canada). Some areas r min age 21. You said that u wernt a teen, so this should not be a problem.

Additionally, depending on where the fight is held, you will be required to have gloves, mouthpeice, ect. Some places, this equipment can be rented.

Note, this only goes for boxing venues. Their are other considerations for full contact bouts (I'm game for that too).

Please provide me an email or other way to contact you and we can set this up.

Your move....

leeg,

You are so ignorant, it's laughable.

Fu*k you and your comments about me and how often I bring up stun. When your little noob *** gets into vxed and tipt, then you can talk. Until then, stfu.

Those mobs hit and stun so god-damn often, it's a challenge to get off a .5 SECOND spell without it being interrupted, jag-off.

I can't stop laughing at you calling someone out on this board to fight. What a fuc*ing TOOL you are. LMAO.

Let me assure you of one thing--not everyone on this board or that plays EQ is a *tool.* A great many are, but I can utterly *assure* you that some would not meet your expectations and may in fact be highly sklled athletes / fighers. You can just take my word for it, for you may be talking to one and not even know it...

dude,
I am sorry. The message was not ment for you, but Rexz. I guess I deserve what you have posted tho... I am in no way as experienced in this games as u and Rexz.

If you read the message that Rexz left for me, and I quote...

So, I am giving rexz the opportunity. No offense intended toward anybody. But I do stand by what I say. My intent was to curb Rexz's remarks, which by the way, has been way out of line. I in turn have probably stepped over that line myself in the way I reacted to him...

Thanx Dude,
I feel for many of the families who now have to give up their Loved ones for the Inactive Ready Reserve recall. I have read that they are recalling individuals with 8 years or less of active service. They might expand that tho (which my wife is worried about).

The one thing that hit home, is when I saw a buddy I went to flight school with show up on the CNN KIA list. During flight school, we tricked the instructors to think that my friend was about to jump off the barracks roof because they were being rough on him. We dressed up a manaquin and threw it off the roof. You should of seen the look in the cadre's face when he saw a body fall past his office window (priceless). Needless to say, after a thousand push ups later (our whole class was in on that prank), the instructors left him alone.

Jamar was a good guy...

Don't want to cause any friction here, but is this really the place for this sort of way of speaking to each other? My young son looks on these boards a lot for information and I really don't want him looking at this sort of stuff. I,ve just had him asking what "STFU" means which is why I've just been looking at it too!!!!
Sort it out by email guys please, children read these boards too, and remember it's just a game ( a great game) but JUST A GAME!!

To be honest, if you are concerned about your child reading this board, I would recommend you keep him/her away from it.

Seldom are boards of this nature *clean* by any stretch of the imagination and I can assure you this is 1,000 times cleaner the SHD.ORG.
