Welcome back, Glemm!

As you've probably noticed, a LOT of things have changed.

What seems to have you most lost?

Heyo Glemm. Nikki just came back to DR about three months ago, and, yeah, some things have changed. Nikki's hanging around Crossing still, doing some backtraining. Next time I'm IG, look me up. Great to have you back!!!!

Combat in general, hmm?

Okay, I've found Olwydd's combat flow charts to be great helps. Here is the URL: WWW.OLWYDD.ORG

You'll find that brawling no longer messes up your balance like it used to- and that brawling when at melee with your critter is pretty much automatic: You no longer have to toggle Brawl Mode on.

I don't know if this was in before you left- But now you can ADJUST your shield so you can wear it on your arm rather than have to grab and hold it. Different guilds have different limits to how large the shields are that they can do this to. As a paladin, you'll be able to do this with the largest shields. It's great for back-training (which is my case), or for combat in general in case you forget. Or for using two-handed weapons and shield.

A couple of new armor types have been introduced: Bone and Cloth. But these are still being tweaked, and are really more geared toward stealthy types than tanks.

Glemm! Good to see you back. I am mostly in Theren, although training on the islands presently. Where you hunting right now?

Hey Humm you have passed me a few time in the Bristle meadow I think it was, if you see me please stop and ask as many questions as you want, hangout for a bit and I can share combat ideas with you.

Cheers

And here I thought the old faces were gone. Humm is about, have seen Clynlyn about, ran into Teloc the other day and now Glemm. Just got back myself, yes its confusing as all get out (close to a 6 year layoff for me) and Im glad to see familiar faces around. Look me up if your ever on the Islands.
