Still very revelent information after many years. I remember using your advise years ago.
Great info bud!
I remember playing my necromancer, I could explore areas that were much much much too high for me to be in. I even went down to an ultra raidboss area (a big dragon if I remember) and was able to look at it without actually being able to fight my way there.
The cheese involved sending your pet to attack something but putting it on passive before it actually hit the thing, having it stand there and take a beating while you ran past to a safe spot.. once it was killed or you were out of range, you would turn back into a person and could cast the pet again.. but the aggro didn't transfer to you as long as you hadn't actually attacked anything.
I know you gave up making videos, but on the chance you go back and read this nonsense. I really appreciate your looks at some "old" games. Kudos.
One of my favorite things to do in RvR was to run around "away from the group" with my Briton Polearmsman... and wear a robe and carry a staff. The Rogues would attack me thinking I was a free caster kill.. then get wrecked when I responded by immediately switching to my plate and pole. Sure, their first hit really hurt, but I had the HP pool, and they really couldn't stand up 1v1 to me, even if I started at half health, LOL! I even carried robes of different colors around with me, so I could potentially catch the same rogue twice!
Thats too funny Lol.
It should be known that the auto train system on the Phoenix server has been updated to:
The current autotraining system has been revised. It will no longer punish players who spend points early in their careers.
- Characters will no longer auto train skills as they gain levels.
- When training a skill that would normally have autotrained, a player will not be charged points up to their character level’s maximum autotrained skill level. Example: An Armsman who has zero slash at level 50 will not be charged for their first 12 points. After 12, they will be charged points normally for that skill.
- If you have a higher skill than what would be awarded to you by autotraining at that level, the points that would have been awarded are refunded to your skill point pool. Example: If you have 40 slash, and you hit a level 48, you normally would have been autotrained to 12 slash. Since you have a higher slash than 12, those 12 points are refunded to your pool.
- The skill points will be consistent if you train through a trainer or use a respec.
thanks my friend lol i just spent a long time trying to figure out how to auto train even started a new guy. had to come back and look through the comments lol 7 years is a long time for a game and how they are ever changing these days lol
Thank you so much for this video. It’s exactly what I’ve been looking for. Just installed Uthgard - I’m a completely brand new DAoC player but long time, old school MMO player. I’ve been wanting to get started leveling a toon but had no idea which of the many class specialties I would more likely enjoy playing. This video gave me my answer (sorcerer) and so much more. The class choices also very valuable. Tomorrow I shall create a new character and get going on figuring the game out. God bless.
Exactly whats needed for newcomers. Thank you.
Just wanted to drop a comment saying this is exactly what I've been looking for. There is such a dearth of info on this game online. Not only is it well laid out and comprehensive but it is legitimately amusing too. Looking forward to saying "No!" to the Necromancers.
Really enjoyed the video. I noticed that half ogres were not included in your races. I haven't played in years, but did enjoy my half ogre crush merc while I did play.
Half Ogres were introduced with Trials of Atlantis. "Classic" is just a clever way of saying pre-ToA :D
Autotraining Inf actually makes you more attractive to groups. You keep your weapon spec and everything high and ignore stealth and you basically become a merc with high evade. Such a waste when Infs spec stealth for the BGs. You can cap out of the BGs in like 2 hours.
My friend, crush merc dual wield saracen sounds crazy, but against certain enemies vulnerable to crush, and with top quality weapons...very good spec.
Nice guides. :) To those who are daunted by the old models / standart UI, there are endless custom UI's to personalize your game and there are 100% legal ways to use the Catacombs models which are much nicer! Uthgard (Free Classic Freeshard) got it right inside the launcher setup. ;) Have fun guys!
I'm playing all classic (inc. names) and think it looks awesome. So nostalgic!
The necromancer moment made my day :)
I can attest to the fact that Friars are simply unwanted in RVR. I'm RR2L3 on mine and have pretty much soloed all of it. There's a subset of players who (on Uthgard's forums and in-game) will simply crap all over non-Determination classes (IE: hybrids) any chance they get. It's a shame because it'll only drive more players away and this game is at it's best when there's a diverse group of people playing it including casuals with the more hardcore. When it's only hardcore.... well, that's not good for anybody.
How did you do in PvE?
They are pretty strong PVE not as fast as a Necro :P But who is? :D
edit: in my experience, most groups aren't super picky as long as you're not completely useless.
It's why these older games suck now. Everyone likes to power game.
@@RonOnTheWay yep Guild wars 1 used to be amazing with such variety, but now it's full of elitists and if you don't play very specific builds people will literally report you. lol
I was sure Avalonians make the best paladins. I even went two handed Battler for awhile......and then somehow had both a one handed and two handed version appear.
Yes, the damage was still terrible. :P But I twisted those chants like a pro!
This is a great guide Cloaky :)
Been waiting for this one, thank you sir!
Thanks for all your work :)
woot woot! thanks buddy!
What about half ogre???
whats your favorite realm?
Back in the day at least albion melee groups could be quite good with BoF and SoS avaible, dunno if any of that has changed
Nope that's certainly still true. It's never pure melee of course but it'd be great... it's more that most people heavily favour the caster group because the classes you need are more plentiful.
We had one extremely good albion scum melee group(Public Enemies) opposing us on prydwen back in the day, kinda hard counter to our melee group as they could be protected early with BOF while running our support down with SoS, think they had us 60-40, pretty much everyone else we dominated completly. Nolby Pride when they played on hib also gave us a bit of trouble.
Tbh only think we won a very few times while they had those slow cooldowns up, however ofc if we caught them with CD's down we had the advantage.
ofc it didn't help that their main cleric was a scum window dragger xD Tattersail curse her name!
Haha, I played a briton scout back then, frustrating experience.
My brother was a highlander cleric who focused on smiting. did not fare much better >_<
We were such noobs. Well, till wow rolled along and we switched.
well, even f this vid is from 2017.. even back then, friars became already fully legit healers and rvr groups prefer cleric + friar over 2x cleric because of the 2x3 resi buffs.
what do you recommend for a new player
Necromancer ,or matter specced cabalist
i dont agree with the friar, they are great healers but rvr wise not so much, the necromancer is also a good bomb class and it destroys anyone in 1on1 it can even solo 2 melees, alot of the stuff mentioned here is really wierd.
100th like 2018 DAoC Love!
Minstrel and Sorc aren't mana battery, Necro are.
Mana Battery just means "can make your mana recharge faster than usual" and thus includes both Sorc and Minstrel just fine. Necros are perhaps more common though.
how do you level up in this game? i cant find any quests
There are no quests. Well, except for a few. You kill stuff, solo or grouped. 1-20 you can do killtasks which are sorta proto-quests. Find a named guard and type /whisper task. A day or two and my 1-20 leveling guide will also be uploaded
well that seems pretty tiresome but it looks like the endgame is worth the grind. thanks for the answer
it is extremely tiresome if you play solo. but if you find good groups it's more about the social experience than punching the mobs.
Good Old DAoC is all about communication and socialization. ;) Try to find a nice beginners guild / expand your friendlist. ;) The beginning is hard, the endgame is amazing!
Auto train was explained almost perfectly, until you said the part about how investing points removes the ability to AT completely. That is not always true. You will lose a portion of the 77 free points depending on how you go about it. Say you play a paladin and spec for level 2 chants at level 5, spending only 2 points on it. You will not AT at level 8, but if you add no further points, you will have the skill raised to 3 automatically at level 12. You lose the 2 points you invested, but still get the remaining 75 if you AT the rest of the way. As long as you have below 12 points total in the line, auto train will remain available to you. If for some reason you respec after putting those points in (IE at level 7 you respec down to 1 point in chants) you WILL get the free bump to 2 chants at level 8. If the skill being ATed is not 1/4 your level, the point is given to you.
You mean Necrobion
