Making a good Warrior

[bmjclark]

From what little I know, unarmed is a must. A bit of melee is really useful for finishing animals off, but that can come later. Marksmanship is always useful while hunting, especially because you probably wont be able to take bears in close quarters for quite a while.

I don't really know about marksmanship in pvp, I've seen people here saying its pretty useless at the highest levels though, unless your opponent is wearing the wrong equipment .

MM isnt useless if u have more perc then ur opponent has agi =), or a higher q rbow then they have armor

Thanks Guys.
I have 20 Exploration and 10 Survival... I'll star bumping UA and MC now (3:1 ratio) until i get something around 50 UA... then will back to exploration.. what u guys think?

Personally, I would concentrate on exploration until ~50 first, unless you have people feeding you very well. Thats just me though.

Yeah, 50 exp at least before you work on combat skills. And wait till 100UA till you start working on MC, that way you can start hunting face to face sooner.

[Sitting_Bill]

which is good practice for learning the rather complicated system

????

The formula for ranged damage is based upon the quality of the weapon (and ammo for bows). The min damage is based on the perc:agi ratio, in which case you need 2x perc as the opponents agi for it to not matter. The only factor MM has in any of the archery equations is in how fast you aim.

Depending on the type of armor, you need a significantly better Ranger's Bow to penetrate armor. It also depends on how much armor the target is wearing. Just a breastplate with a couple other minor pieces? Doesn't need much. Wearing a full set of steel plate (bp, guantlets, helm, etc), I don't think it matters how good your rbow is, you're not going to penetrate armor. You will keep doing armor damage, though, and that's the point of having archers in a battle group.

Archers are also very useful on defense. They can keep plugging away at anyone manning rams.

I agree with potjeh, I wouldn't put any points into MC untill your at least 100, and if you don't have people foraging for you, forgo all that till you get about 50 Exploration. really, that MC won't do you anything.

Hmmm ok guys... Im going straight to 50 exploration (25 atm) and will go for 100 UA after that.
What about my survival? Its 10 at the moment... is it okay or should I bump more?
What about my ancestors? I already maxed Peaceful/Change (to get Lp's faster). What ancestors should I worship now?
Thanks!

The only ancestors are your direct ancestors, there is no choice in who to worship yet and it's virtually meaningless until you die at least once (with good combat skills)
