my tamer just afk solo'd a drake accidentally
0 tactics, 0 anat. just with base damage and gm swords
see this is the sort of thing i get on my paladin where you want the loot pack to be bumped
luck does a lot. seriously. just most people are playing with bushido so they get the honour bonus and dont notice.
--------
see these sorts of items are from a good loot pack, but they are still crap without the bump on top.
(just looking at the number of mods and base intensity)
the odds of me getting good items on my paladin are very low. i can get a bumped pack with 300 luck. and i can kill many monsters very fast, to get lots of rolls. but the odds of getting:
a good loot pack in the first place + the item i want + the mods i want + bumped loot pack. are very low, because i need all 4 rolls to land high. if you take a roll out of that you only need 3.
even killing monsters 10 times as fast. the odds will still balance out in favour of the luck suit massively.
purely based on the number of possible mods, and the number of possible intensities.
we need it to bump when it counts.
the 1000 luck from bushido is very generous, but it is for this reason. there is diminishing returns after 1000 luck, so with 1000 you actually have somewhere around 40% chance on that roll being a bump. it takes up to 4000 to make that 100%.
what they figure is you cant make a warrior that can kill strong monsters, and give him luck.
so this is their solution. otherwise warriors have a lot of difficulty getting good loot items.
which is why i hunt mostly events with Calvin, where luck doesn't matter.
but now the luck statue actually lets me play him for loot for an hour a day!

Bumped, but not the item or mods i want.
so yeah my sentiments are basically:

(btw that is the general principle of how to make kick ass anything in uo - stack shit, and throw the balancing off. the game expects you to be at a certain level, be higher and it will not cope well. you do that by creating unexpected synergies. like: putting bushido *with* a luck suit...
)
only problem is i dont have so much of the grind stamina i did when i was younger
apparently i'd rather talk about it
