• Runelore, Weaponmastery, Chivalry: Transcendant
  
• Weaponry: Up to parrying
  
• Avoidance: Nada, but it's my next skill focus unless advised otherwise.

• Basic Three: Jera, Algiz, and Berkana are needed for STR/CON +1, 10% damage reduction, and health regen respectively.
• Runeblade: Lagul, Lagua, and Laguz on an empowered blade. I've been using Hugalaz for extra damage, but would Nairat be better for hindering?
• Runicarmour: I've empowered my armour, so it's got the 100 months of Gebu/Gebo on it for increased blunt/cutting resist.
  
• Dagaz/Uruz: I've been trying to sketch up "safe" rooms with Dagaz and Uruz, leaving another rune slot free for utility or attack runes. I've also been trying to barge opponents into these "safe" rooms to get them out of harmonics/rites/room buffs to gain an advantage.
  
• Thurisaz: Been using a triple sketch of Thurisaz in an unsketched room to break shields and do some prep damage before barging.
  
• Othala: Been trying to sketch Othala as the first action during an engagement, but I've not had much luck with that. I've been trying to utilize it off a devastate arms so that I can sketch unhindered, but I can't manage to even get to that point.
  

• Overhand: I realize that most opponents going up against Two-Hander are going to parry head, so I make sure to reflexively check for head parry, and if my opponent is, I swap to an underhand instead.
  
• Underhand: Likewise, if parrying torso, I go for overhand.
  
• Arm/Leg Hew: Swap direction if parrying left or right side.
• Perceive: Using perceive before each attack and on regaining balance. I have this outputting info to a geyser GUI element.
• Recover Footing: Recovering footing at the start of each attack.
  
• Speed/Precision: Utilizing speed for underhand to add to the hurt and drop HP quick, using precision to stack fractures on limbs.
  
• Devastate: Been trying to get up to three fractures before making a single devastate so that it's 4 seconds of hinderance against melee classes.
  
• Envenom: Been using curare for the most part as a gamble hinder/herb crunch, but I'm starting to wonder if that's useless. Also have been taking a swing at epteth/epseth, but I'm not sure if both limbs are being afflicted. Also with it being a mending application, I'm not sure if that cures fractures/resets limb damage, but I've been erring on the side of "yes" for both.
  

• Barge: I push things gud. No but seriously as noted above, I've been using barge to push people into prepped rooms.
• Falcon: Got talons, order falcon to slay on every attack.
  
• Engage: I've been engaging after the first attack, and I'm systematically keeping track of if I'm engaged or not.
  
• Fury: This is probably the one ability I've gotten a lot of mixed info about. I've been saving fury for when I move into the kill phase of my setup - prepping legs, devastating legs, upsetting, impaling, and disemboweling. I am honestly wondering, since I'm not really able to engage at length, if I need to just Fury up at the beginning of each spar or fight.
  

• Curing: Serverside
  
• Defences: Serverside
  
• Offense:
  - Client-side macros/keybindings, triggers, and aliases.
  - A few server-side aliases (mostly pre-attack prep alias to avoid hitting the eqbal limit).
  - Serverside queuing system. (Most of my attack commands are "clearqueues all" and "queue add eqbal ...")
  

1. Turn on combat-focused defenses that I can't keep up constantly due to mana/willpower limits.
2. Sketch prep rooms with dagaz/uruz
3. Break shields and maybe do a little damage with triple Thurisaz.
4. Barge opponent out of room and into prep room.
5. Speed/Underhand with Curare to sips. First attack sets falcon to slay and engages target.
6. Precision/Arms to 3+ fractures.
7. Devastate arms.
8. Sketch Othala
9. Utilize restoration/othala down-time to heal 
10. Underhand precision to stick some sensitivity - 4-6 fractures.
    
11. Precision/Arms to 3 fractures
12. Precision/Legs to 6 fractures.
13. Speed/Devastate arms for restoration balance.
14. Devastate legs/battlefury upset to break legs and prone.
15. Impale/Disembowel.
    

• Your Tools

1. Slice : This is your fastest attack and allows limb targeting, hence, your bread and butter attack. Important in delivering venoms that shield smashes otherwise cannot.
2. Guardbreaks : Generates +1 ferocity. Quite useful for generating additional ferocity for prepping/finishers. Doesn't allow targeting.
3. Rend : Does more limb damage relative to slice. Not particularly useful because of the long balance time.
4. Raze : Razes rebounding/shield, in that order.
   

1. Drive : gives asthma
2. Low : Gives clumsiness
3. Mid : Gives paralysis
4. High : Prevents focusing for 2.5 seconds and gives mental affs in this order, doesn't overlap existing mental affs if present : { dizziness, recklessness, stupidity, confusion, epilepsy }
5. Trip : Prones someone
6. Club : Stuns a prone person, can only be used in conjunction with impale and any level 2 broken limb.

1. Shieldstrike low : This prones someone. It allows you to bypass parry if used simultaneously with a combination slice/rend/shield smash.
2. Shieldstrike mid : Gives sensitivity
3. Shieldstrike high : Stuns for 0.5 seconds

• Aff Paths
  
  

1. kelp stack -- (when you have at least 2 kelp affs stuck on your opponent, one of them being asthma)
2. gecko/smash mid -- (when you notice your opponent eats kelp but doesn't smoke, you can assume slickness is stuck | when your opponent eats bloodroot, proceeding becomes 50/50 paralysis or slickness)  
3. slike/smash high -- (if your opponent doesn't apply a salve until this point -- they are soft-focuslocked / could probs expect shield spamming from smart opponents)
4. paralysis/smash high -- (you'll want to have enough ferocity to prone them at this point with a shieldstrike low to prevent shielding/paralysis to prevent touch tree - from here it's a 1/3 chance your opponent will focus anorexia)
5. mental aff venom/smash high -- (preferably aconite or whatever prevents the active heal of x class)
   

1. stick asthma/slickness and make sure opponent's tree is on cooldown --(weariness too if they can use fitness)
2. break leg1 with slike/smash high --(can't focus anorexia/stand/shield)
3. break leg2 or head with paralysis/smash high --(head might be better, so your opponent will have 3 mental affs at this point - 1/3 chance to focus anorexia)
4. keep stacking mentals -> sensitivity -> random affs

1. 3-4 kelp stack and make sure opponent's tree is on cooldown.
2. break leg1 with shieldstrike low/gecko/smash mid --(pray to rngesus for a non-asthma/slickness cure)
3. attack leg2 with slike/smash high -- (they'll apply epidermal and mending before step 4 if slickness is cured)
4. attack leg2 again with slike/smash high into gecko/drive or gecko/smash high -- (if asthma/slickness was cured or just slickness)
5. paralysis/smash high -> mental aff stack -> random affs

1. stick sensitivity into a 2/3-kelp aff stack -- (shieldstrike mid is useful) 
2. illness/darkshade
3. focus lock

1. stack darkshade/illness/addiction with paralysis/clumsiness + dedication
2. focus lock

1. stick illness (or clumsiness first, depending)
2. focus lock

1.  aconite/smash high spam
2.  eurypteria(etc)/smash high etc --(if they don't eat goldenseal)
3.  aconite/smash high --(when they finally focus)

• Finisher Strats
  
  

1. Break torso
2. Break leg/trip/shieldstrike high or shieldstrike low/combination --(if they don't apply restoration to torso)
3. Impale/club
4. Dsb
   

1. Break leg/trip/shieldstrike high or shieldstrike low/combination --(if they don't apply restoration to torso)
2. Break torso
3. Impale/club
4. Dsb

1. Break torso
2. Stop attacking and wait for them to combo you
3. Break arm immediately when they do -- (if they don't apply to torso)
4. Shieldstrike low/impale/club
5. Disembowel

1. SnB cannot punish tumblers as heavily as DWC can via lunge/engage and lacks the ability to damage past constant shielding/rebounding.
2. Runewardens get a stacking bonus from Lagua.
3. Paladins get +2 STR from Inspiration
4. Antonius' dsb testing : Link
   

1. Prep head/leg. 
2. Break leg with asthma + 2 kelp affs --(hope they don't cure asthma, weariness is important against fitness users) or try and break with a focuslock
3. Break head --(use anorexia/smash high for 3 mental affs + inability to focus/apply salve from being off salve balance from leg apply)
4. Hellsight (narrow window for your opponent to stand -> escape/go kelp fishing)
5. Damnation
   
   

1. Focus or truelock
2. Shieldstrike low/break leg1 + epteth
3. Break leg2 + epteth
4. Vivisect --(if they don't restore at any point, if they do, trample with the limbcrusher trait)

• Shieldstrike Strats
  
  

• Currently playing troll, with level bellow 15
• Slow connection (~200ms), so I guess no momentum based class, no 2H
• Not planning to artie, at least for now
• However, soon or later, I will purchase the no-brainer lessons package
• Still brand new in Achaea, but played casually (no pvp) in Lusternia
• Although still new in here, I'm planning to do pvp later 
• Preferably, playing with generic reflex (scripts which already available for free in the forum), with minor adjustment, and doing minor scripting.
• I'm not planning to be the top 100 or anything. I just aim not to be suck / be a bottom feeder in pvp
• I'm not sure if I will do 1v1 or in the group later, still new, no friends nor houses yet
• Currently playing using Nexus, but I have Mudlet and Mushclient too. At least, I can create simple trigger and alias using them. For now, I'm just curious about Nexus

• Troll with its electric resist and stun chances, combined with Runewarden's DWB
• Human with its crit chance and sip bonus chance, with DWC for attack speed. I heard crit is more important for late game
• Rajamala, for avoidance and cold resist. I heard cold attack is more common than electric
• Tash'la, not sure about the racial trait, but with Tash'la, I can make 15 str / 14 con (str trait, str spec). Unfortunately, the dex is only 11
• Dwarf for the resists, and I can make 14 str /14 con, also with only 11 dex

• Is it better to sacrifice dex for a better str / con, for pvp? For example, should I substract the dex to 11 dex (for more str/con), or should I try to keep the dex at 12?
• Should I maximize str (to 15 or 16), or should I try to balance it with con? I heard about diminishing return on str and wondering about this
• With above situation, which race and weaponspec is suitable for my runewarden?
• What's the priority of skill groups that needed to be transed, and which skills should be taken, minimum, in order to be an average pvp?
• Any scripts recommended for runewarden pvp?

Strength : 12 Intelligence: 12  Dexterity: 13 Constitution: 14 (Without Jera, with weathering, con spec)

Traits:

Racial: Mine Dweller

Level 20: Nimble

Arties:

You do not seem to have any artefacts yet.

Ooooooook, that took up more space than I thought so I apologize.  Basically, I've squandered the 2 no brainer lessons packages and am looking at the no brainer credit package to try to fix things.  I cannot do much else beyond that at this point so that will be the budget I'm working with.  I'm wondering about priorities and have considered them as follows, in no particular order:

1. 100cr to fix my traits, 200cr towards lessons

2. Save all 300cr towards level 1 bastard sword

3. Spend all 300cr on lessons

4. 200cr on level 1 pendant, fix traits for 100cr

5. Um, that's about everything

Please...save me!

• A character's limbs (all six being identical) have hit points.  The amount of hit points appears to be equal to the player's max HP.  (There are various modifications or alternatives to this assumption, many of which I have tested and ruled out)
• Changes in max health do not change limb damage in any way, aside from impacting the amount of limb damage future attacks will do.
• Limb damage does "roll over" level 1 breaks into preparation for level 2 breaks.  The limb HP for level 2 breaks appears to be identical.
• It would appear that limb damage actually "adds" from zero, as opposed to subtracting from full health, based on several specific tests.  Alternatively (and inconsequentially) it may be a subtraction, if "missing" limb health is shifted down with changes in max health.  Limb breaks are determined on attacks, so this would actually allow "negative" limb HP (although I would assume it is actually limited to either 1 or 0).  Ex: A player with 5,000HP is 500 damage away from a break, and then reduces their health to 4,000HP.  The limb could be at either -500, 0, or perhaps 1 health, any of which would result in any limb damage attack breaking the limb when hit.  This has been confirmed experimentally.  (Interesting note:  If negative limb damage was not restricted, it would, in very extreme cases of max health shift and pre-existing limb damage, be possible to "jump" level 1 breaks directly to a level 2 break, barring the possibility that limb break function (in the game code) doesn't check for a level 1 break in order to register a level 2.)
• All forms of limb damage appear to be stored in integer form, and various operations upon them are also either rounded or floored, which can create visible errors if not accounted for.  (Due to other equations in Achaea's code frequently using flooring, I suspect this is the case here as well, although limb damage code is very old.  Who knows.)
• Nothing in the game appears to mitigate/reduce limb damage.  An attack either does full limb damage, or it does none at all.
• (most) Limb damage equations are much like HP damage equations, in that they have multiple portions that scale differently with different factors.  However, not all equations (contrary to some rumors) share the same structure, nor do constants, coefficients, or much of anything else seem to be shared.  The only unifying detail appears to be that a portion of the damage scales with health, and the rest will not.
• Weapon type does not appear to affect anything, just stats.

Runeblades What exactly do they do since the the ab's never give off all the info.

Pithakhan - Increases the ability of a weapon to break limbs, I haven't personally noticed a difference on my rapiers.

Nairat - Chill obviously. (Kinda curious if it's a level 2 chill or just a normal sense I see people concentrating alot when I break limbs.

Eihwaz - Hides the venom obviously.

Hugalaz - Damage (Anyone know the damage calulation on Hugalaz?)

I was pointed to wundersys, but even that seems to be mudlet only. 

Since I am in a combat-oriented house I am going to peruse ic info and a mentor, just wondering for the other half of the puzzle if it's documented or not.
