Kodiak's Fighter Guide

Ohk, I am an accomplished fighter, and have been at the top for quite a while. I've been around the block many times and therefore know what I am talking about especially in this field.

For stats, Str is your prime followed by dex and int. 100-200 dex and 50-100int with all the rest in str is your target. This will ensure maneuverability, slight magic resistance and lots of hp, carrying capacity and the ability to wear anything.

For armor, the most AC you can find. Plate/field with plenty of +def is what you should look for, if you stumble upon one that is also blackrock/adamantium, your in luck. The other parts of your armor should focus on str or if you need it, dex. A high def shield is also a must, unless you have an anal preference to 2-handed weaps, which aren't as great as you'd think.

For weapons....run wild. You can use anything but foils, shortswords and bows. Pick a weapon to focus on based on personal preference or simply what you find first. High slaying is the obvious must. 2-handed weaps are ohk, but tend to be slow and prevent you from using a shield, which can be helpful with AC. The added damage is generally not a large difference.

For jewellry......+ def or str is all you want, but I suggest getting jewellry with the highest def. Don't waste these valuable positions on something that'll boost int or NV. Stat boosts will be given from your armor and NV can be negated with plenty of torches/spells.

For class points, the choice would be up to you. 25 magery will net you IL, M, AN, VL, EU, SL, VS and KOP. However, with chest traps being more deadly, the traps skill you'll get from 25 Rogue could be a great assist. It's up to you as far as it goes.

For PK, lets face it, unless you fight a high level, smart mage and Fighters and some Rogues with more AS and AC than you. If you have your AS in the 30s and AC in the 50s, you should be fine. If your AC is in the 60s, a balrog will have trouble hitting you, let alone some lvl 40-50 smartass. Your fighting style for pk is getting in your opponents face and bash him around.

When it comes to monster fighting, lure and kill monsters one at a time. Just because you have high AC and AS, doesn't mean you won't get annihilated by 5 vamps or 3 drags.
