Yeah the only sensible choice would be between slashing and lunging, seeing as you could do both with an edged weapon. Bash with blunt is a no brainer.

Need some input on strategy. I redid my sword and board gladiator strategy, this any good?

Priority    Trigger                                           Activity      Fighting Style      Blood Lust
1           Start off                                         8               Parry-Slash         4
2           I can not defend                              10              Slash                10
3           I can not attack                               4               Tank                 1
4           Opponent is rage                              10             Slash                 4
5           I have less endurance than opponent   4               Tank                 1


One big problem right now is if I enter tank mode on 5 and the opponent decides to do the same I'm stuck in a game of 'see who the enforcer beats to a pulp first' again.


Finally defeated nightmare on my rage, he proved to be troublesome!

[Doomblade187]

Just a quick question here, but about what arena level is everybody here?

[Sirus]

Miss Demeanor is a Juggernaut, Tehsid is Elite. They'd be higher, but I stopped playing for a few weeks

In slightly unrelated news, Tehsid scored two kills in the Arena today, and Miss Demeanor scored her first. Despite their average stats, I'm finding it increasingly difficult to consider getting rid of them.

[King DZA]

Both of mine are in the Champion bracket currently. You can also check out the status of many other Bay12 pit masters here.

[Rex_Nex]

I've been doing terrible lately.

I'm in Legend with Ashenzari, Champions with Cerebov, and Juggernaut with Lugonu.

[Sirus]

Despite her terrible max health (450, while many of her opponents are in the 600-700 range), she's still capable of taking them on.

[AlStar]

I'm pretty sure that's a new record for Madame X.

In other news, it took me 15 tries to get the final 30% chance tick to weapons skill 7.

[Doomblade187]

I have a question- is there a level cap? I ask this because even though you're guaranteed a practically limitless supply of training points, the level-ups are nice bonuses.

[Jelle]

I'd like to know as well, I've heard of people having to make choices between wich skills to get, wich leads me to believe there's some sort of limit?

Dayum, my trug got one shot. Takes a lot of damage to one shot a trug.

Also, taking a break, since I saw this:

I kid you not. This is the message I got when I logged in today after a few weeks of not being online:

2012-06-19 - Welcome Back Master!
Master! It's great to see you again!

A wealthy fan has repaired all of your gladiators' equipment, paid the Temple Elder's fee to raise your dead and deposited 5 trophies and 2500 gold into your account to help you get back on your feet!

Good Luck In The Pit!

DAAAAMN.

Also, both of my gladiators are alive and uninjured.

[Rex_Nex]

I'm taking a break. I do 80% losing nowdays with the same strats that used to give me 3:1 W/L ratios, even with Cerebov who hasn't moved in the rankings at all.

[Jelle]

Is that counting stat increases? I hope not. 

[IronyOwl]

Attribute training does not count against max skills.

Massive shot to ZADIST's butt...The grounds keepers are going to have to work hard to clean up this mess!  (+2384 Damage)

More big numbers by Madame X.

Lady Y is finally starting to come into her own. After far too long of having ~30% win rate, she just went 12-2-1 this morning, and one of those losses was a coin flip that she lost (we were both <50 hp, but Lady Y gave up first.)

Tavern missions get nasty when you're high level - Mistress Z keeps running into random bandits that 2-shot her. It's kind of ugly.
