If you aren't considering going serpent, don't even bother reading this post.
Please read the following before going Serpent and then complaining that you cannot kill anyone. I will try to teach you, but you have to realize that Serpent is an extremely difficult class to play.
Disadvantages of Serpents fighting others:
Overall disadvantages:
Subterfuge
-Negated by artifacts (lifevision)
-Dstab misses more often than not (I recently had dstab miss 4/5 times on an inept avoidance target. Having it miss more than once a during a locking combo is not a rare occurence.)
-Dstab is stopped by shield (requires eq) and rebounding (does not require eq). To strip shield you will need a hammer tattoo - long eq loss. Flay is a short balance loss, but still destroys locking chains.
-Execute (Serpents only unique instant kill) is stoppable by standing. Do not think it is like Behead/Eliminate/Tzanta/Vivisect/Cleave/Devour/etc. Those are all much more powerful. It does afflict on the second message (strength!)
Hypnosis
-Negated by leaving the room or having a friend snap you.
Venom
-(Almost?) every venom you can dstab can be dsl'd with. Transecrete will save you money though.
General:
Only class without passive or extra balance curing usable during combat. Also the only affliction class stopped by shield and rebounding.
Apostate
At a glance: Apostates are a cross between serpents and occultists. They can afflict faster than dstab with no chance of missing, go through shield and rebounding. They can afflict while removing curseward, which takes eq and time to put back up. They have passive curing, and can lock. They also have multiple entities.
Advantages: Vardrax is annonying?
Disadvantages: Passive curing, controlled passive afflicting, Unstoppable afflictions faster than you can afflict, illusions take mana
Knights (grouped together, sorry I'm lazy)
At a glance: Perhaps the (most) common class to fight. Actually not terribly balanced. I recommend fighting knights to start.
Advantages: Shrugging, Scales, Weaving, Vardrax is annonying?
Disadvantages: Fitness, Lifevision, Damage+afflictions at the same speed as dstab, ents stop critical dstab chains, scales and weaving are strippable by falcon.
Occultists:
At a glance: Best class to fight against, if you can handle their entities.
Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Extra balance healing, ents stop critical dstab chains.
Shaman:
Advantages: Need to tumble to get around block. Unfortunately you cannot block all exits, this must be a one exit room.
Disadvantages: Hit and run tactics extremely prevalent for doll creation (no hypnosis), extra balance curing.
Magi:
Advtanges: None.
Disadvantages: Passive curing, bloodboil, no damage mitigation, icewalls stop arrows
Sylvan:
Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Passive curing
Monks:
Advantages: Weaving, Scales
Disadvatanges: Extremely low health (generally accepted that Serpents have low health), cannot be mounted and evade, fitness, apparently dstab now gives great kai (according to Bleak)
Priest:
Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Passive curing, balance free diagnose, balance free fullheals, heal through any amount of camus/relapse damage, bedevil, illusions take mana
Jesters:
Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Hit and run tactics, unblockable, extra balance curing.
Druids:
Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Passive curing
Sentinels
Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Fitness, ents stop critical dstab chains.
Edit: This is not to say that Serpents aren't incredibly fun to play. As one of the most difficult classes, every kill you get makes you giddy inside. I've never had as big adrenaline rushes as I have playing a serpent.

I am pretty sure no class has a set advantage against bard.
don't believe anything bleak says.
druids do great against bards currently. hydra can keep a permamangle and it does limb damage on an independant balance so harmonics don't slow you down. And you can easily get around trueparry.

Also, shrugging is pretty epic passive curing. Sure it fires randomly, but it is pretty often. Also, I like never miss with my dstabs..-shrug-. Overall, I love serpent. All about outsmarting the other guy!
I think those fifty "Advantages: none" will make every non-serpent's eyeballs explode.

it is a matter of patience, rather than a matter of cleverness. Though one could argue that it takes a little brain to be patient.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Bleak told you dstab gives great kai? WHAT THE FECK.

How about hypnosis when you're being kept in hypnotic trance by another serpent?
Disadvantage of apostates is they can't be blind and are vulnerable to stuff like transfix.
Edit: oh, for snakes only. Never mind.

I completely agree with Mishgul on this. Druids/Sylvans are great against bards, their dampen can remove 3(?) harmonics at a time, and they can do it quite quick. I'm not sure if it can be done out of grove, but it's a big one. Magi are effective against bards if they know what they're doing. they can remove bard harmonics pretty easily, they're able to destroy partita(along with sylvan) for cube sigil usage. But again, you must know what you're doing.
You also forgot the class Poergh.
This class has advantages against all other classes, and has few mild disadvantages. It is not suggested to fight her if you don't have to when you first start.(this class also includes other occultists that copy her exact tactics)
Serpents do have a few advantages against Mages. Scales offers full spectrum protection which includes Elemental, so compared to other classes (excepting those with Runes) they take less damage from Mages. They're highly mobile, there's almost nothing a Mage can do to stop a Serpent from moving out of Vibes. Their damage is primarily type Venom or Asphyxiation, so Stone/Diamond Skin is largely ignored. And they have bows for ranged attacks, while a Mage only has Firelash or Cata in groups. They also have another weakness, Mages can stack damage fairly effectively with Hailstorm/Holo which generally forces the Serpent to move, and that is very disruptive towards Hypno.
As far as Bards go, a Mage can get rid of Partita but a Bard can get rid of Reverberation, which leaves you fighting with Elementalism against Swashbuckling and Voicecraft.

I also forgot illusions, which are more or less an advantage against everyone. Lifevision limits it (1/4) but it is still probably the largest single advantage.
So...you've finally realized what I've been annoyed by since the day I started my serpent..

Heh. Even if they have lifevision, some actions are hidden, ghosted hides your name in movement and ent/group, and hide still allows you to backstab. It only reveals movement through cloak and shows you in look/ql/who here through cloak and hide.

Advantage/disadvantage (depending on how you work with it): Most people tend to use the same system that shall remain nameless. That was the first thing I thought of, and I'm sure it comes out to a disadvantage for the vast majority of serpents.
Also, bite gives good kai if you're trying to, say, scyth/camus a monk out of the blue.
As for Shaman, tumble is rarely the only way to leave a room. Also the fact that if you fight higher might people in general, those Shamans will often use mountjump. Actually, I'm pretty much thinking of Mindshell.
Supply-wise, I think Serpent is probably one of the cheaper classes to play because of the not needing to buy venoms (if you're trans Venom, anyway).

If it's friendly just bite with Colocasia for kai.

I suppose that depends if you're trying to outlast them (which is another advantage of serpent), or trying to, you know, actually break their system.
Though, fighting some people (like, say, people with lifevision
) requires patience.
I've often thought about making a serpent but:
I'm not patient enough for low level serpent bashing. It is the suck.
I would not enjoy the style of combat.

Level up with Apostate or Shaman, change to Serpent. Pretty simple, and it's what I determined, over time, is the fastest and easiest way to do it if you can dedicate the time.
I was weird and started with Druid instead.

You're hardly on your serpent enough to progress as it is.
I can finally see why every Serpent drools over the artefact dirks. They always speak as though they are the Holiest of Grails. Now I am in line for one.

A surge of elation rushes through you as you realise that Cain's fate is sealed. With a roar of triumph, you whip your bastard sword at Cain's neck, slicing his head from his shoulders in a veritable fountain of dark red blood.
You have slain Cain.

Heh it's not even that so much as offensively he tore Cain up and I can't even kill people using only Vadi.
Why did Cain stop attacking after the batter?
He didn't, young noobawan, he was stripping defences, probably going for weaving.

Your words hurt, my good sir! I did learn to not have every venom keybound individually...I just have a habit of forgetting my aliases.
You also swung randomly in the arena last time, from what I could tell, hoping it pieced together.
Oh, had it gagged.

I'd change my display name to Direxi, but I can't find a way to do it. And I can't be bothered to make a new account.

Ah, gotcha. Yeah, I've gotten a bit better since the last time we sparred.
I'd hope so, it's been like..a week.

Been longer than that, I've only fought Direxi once I thought.
Ironically, I owe you two thanks.
It's Boz's fault I went Serpent in the first place. One day he asked me "Do you know anything about Serpent?" I told him I had never been one, but could probably figure it out in theory. So we sat down for an hour or two talking tactics and I sold myself on the possibilities.
Bastard.
Direxi, thanks for taking a whole bunch of time answering all my questions and giving me a crash course basic training. Saved me hours of individual testing!

He was training be when I was Hashani serpent, before I had to go dorment for years. :/
QUOTE (Spire @ Aug 22 2009, 09:44 AM)
I can finally see why every Serpent drools over the artefact dirks. They always speak as though they are the Holiest of Grails. Now I am in line for one.
Other artifact weapons may have higher stats than the forged models, but it'll vary from item to item because forging is variable. The actual speed/accuracy/damage increases will likewise vary accordingly. Artifact Dirks give a guaranteed and uniform boost to Dstab, which can't otherwise be sped up except racial balance. It's similar with artifact Maces and Blackjacks, where the non-artie version has set stats and the artifact version is always going to be 10/15/20 percent better.
Also, serpents can do this:

Dannyl gives a last, feeble gasp as his windpipe is crushed.
Dannyl has been slain by Orophin.
