Two-Edge (Pokesan)

Two-Edge is the half-troll, half-elf son of Winnowill and a troll, named Smelt. He is an ingenious mastersmith and inventor, teacher to the trolls, and Grohmul Djun's "Master Builder" during the "Shards" series. Immortal, he has already lived for many thousands of years. Like Timmorn, Two-Edge is unique on the World of Two Moons. A half-elf, half-troll hybrid abused as a child by his mother, Winnowill, Two-Edge was devastated when she killed his father, Smelt. Driven to madness, Two-Edge's desperate love/hate relationship with his mother has caused him to be torn between helping and hindering the Wolfriders on many occasions. Nothing gets in the way of Two-Edge and his grand schemes: he will lure, deceive, prod, and even kidnap to force his hapless pawns to play their parts "right." Two-Edge is a legendary metalsmith among the trolls, unsurpassed at invention and weaponry.

-From the Elfquest series by the Richard and Wendy Pini. Pokesan is Two-Edge. ;)

Man I haven't read that series since I was a kid. Bonus points for the reference Lhancelot (even if I don't actually remember Two-Edge; was he introduced late in the series?)

that half troll guy looks like he's really into diddling kids or something. all you have to do is change the chinstrap to a mustache and the look would be complete

That series was epic imo. Lots of really neat characters and I find the art done by Richard Pini to be excellent.

I recall Two-Edge later but cannot remember exactly when.

You know, I have not read the comics for so many years. I just remember or I thought I remembered Two-Edge talking in half-riddles and stuff.

Somehow, when I read Pokesan's posts sometimes I am befuddled just like what I think I thought when I used to read two-Edge's words in the comics. I might even be mistaken rofl, maybe a different character?

Anyway, the half-troll fits Pokesan well enough to make the comparison complete in my eyes. I have fond memories of Two-Edge, don't get me wrong. :D

Maybe Wendy did the art work, seeing her name on that pic. I thought Richard did it, but perhaps he did the writing and she did the art work. I thought it was vice-versa.

Anyway, it's a shame they did not get more publicity for their art and stories I think it was highly underrated.

I should check them out now in fact. Wondering if I'd find it as engaging and fun to read as I did when I was younger.

I remember reading the comics, and how some scenes were rather adult with sex etc. My dad just thought they were innocent elf comics lol.

Heh same here, except I actually got the books from the public library :D

Well on the plus side we live in an age when TV execs are looking under every rock for "the next GoT". I never thought I'd see a Sword of Shanara series, an American Gods series, or a (rumored) Hyperion series, but they all exist or are being worked on.

So maybe we'll see an ElfQuest series someday /em crosses fingers

Lhance give me all your in game character names so I can....help you...and definitely not use my 3 FD classes to unmercifully train you.

Man. I could and it would not matter.

TBH, I spend more time reading and responding to you nerds on forums than I do in the game atm.

I have rolled 5 different toons in the past 3 weeks, gotten to lvl 20-22 and deleted them out of boredom and resentment for them.

I may have to detach myself for awhile to try to rejuvenate my lust for Norrathian adventure.

Trying a bard and I find the work of twisting to get 3 songs going at once way too laborious for my taste. I could easily be a lazy player and run one song only, but then I feel like I am wasting power I should be using.

I actually have discomfort in my hand doing the 1,2,3,4 repetition and my toon aint even 20 yet.

I am done with bard I think. :(

Lhancelot

01-22-2018, 01:51 PM

Bard is a pain in the ass to play. I made mine thinking I could just play mana song and AFK my way to 60, turns out not so much.

You are basically expected to be main puller and tank (especially if you are twinked) up inot the 40s. At that point you become a sh!ty tank and your regen songs are powerful enough where you can start to do more bard-like things such as singing songs and not running all over creation for your group.

Even so some people will get p!ssy with you if you want to Lute instead of Melee, really just depends on the group. Typically 40+ you are CCing, slowing mobs, and jamming mana song... Haste song sometimes but usually a chanter or shammy is around.

In the past I got to mid 20s on a bard, I was geared very well. I was pulling, I was tanking, and I was CCing, all the while having noobs demand I play this other song or that. I quit that bard and made him my trader for awhile. :)

So once you in the 40s, are you still twisting songs constantly? if so, fuck this class.

This is probably the only time I would say Agnarr has something right, and that is that system ingame that let's you play 3 songs without having to twist them.

If you are in a group you are going to have to twist, cc, pull...probably throw in snare and charm. If you don't like twisting you will either hate bard or be a really bad one --- there are no shortage of bad grouping bards out there.

My personal ethic is I always maximize what I can do on a toon so I refuse to play it poorly which means I will make my fingers twist, I will pull, and cc, and charm, and do everything else I should be doing.

This means sadly bard is not for me.
