Botb winner on red was a barb boulder rogue and he was crushing people

boulders are underrated but I dont know if there are discipline mechanics that enchance boulder damage or crits

its pretty insane from what I remember seeing on red where the OP shit tends to surface more obviously

That makes sense, I was imagining entirely from my bluebie experience. I can see a time when you'd want fast ranged damage that approximated bad melee dps for your level

*but*

What is this disc that you would use for throwing boulders?

Counterattack Discipline--Allows you to perfectly time your counter attacks, riposting every incoming blow.
Deadeye Discipline--Focuses your vision on you opponent, vastly increasing your hit rate.
Nimble Discipline--Increases your combat reflexes, allowing you to avoid most attacks.-
Kinesthetics Discipline--Increases your combat sense, allowing you to dual wield and double attack every round.-
Blinding Speed Discipline--Focuses energy into your arms, increasing your attack speed.
Duelist Discipline--Increase the damage done by all of your melee attacks. [100% increase]

None of these look great for using on Throwing rather then on melee, I guess if you combined Blinding Speed and Duelist (does Duelist even affect ranged? it says 'melee' damage, whether that means 'not spell damage' or 'melee combat' idk) together you could throw them pretty fast (21 delay? https://thesafehouse.org/forums/foru...blinding-speed) for the afore-quoted ~200 damage on your crits?

It's been a very long time since I've grouped with a 55+ rogue, and even longer since I've been one, but iirc by 59 you're very easily doing 200+ damage per "attack round" of 2-4 hits, and faster than 21 delay for sure, without backstabs and without having to be behind the target for your crits to fire, and without spell haste or disc.

I know posts like this can trigger peeps' AnGeR At ThE nEwBs but I'm not trying to argue that I'm right. Rather than evidence "against you", above is just my experience. I'd love someone to describe for me a time they used Throwing Boulders as a rogue rather than melee. Why did you and how did it go? Extra points if the answer is "because it was hella fun"

I thought in PVP throwing boulders in EQ could do huge damage with crits and discs no? Can they hit another player for over 1k? No idea but I wouldn't be surprised if there was something there.

I'll admit im surprised not a single data nerd has taken the opportunity to explain just how good boulders are with disc, it's not in character of this forum

OP asks for an easy solo class. People mostly talk about rogues for 11 pages.

Goodness...no. God no. There are easy classes who can also solo with little to no gear:
Shaman or Druid would be my picks. Good races so easier travel even. Both get SoW.

That way I learned that Rouges are not for me [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I have now Druid and Magician and for now I will play these two. Maybe some time later I may check out Shaman. With 3 toons, I will be busy for years lol

Reading these forums, sometimes I see something like, I used platina from my first toon to gear up my second toon...

How do you transfer platina from one toon to another? Dropping it on the floor if both toons are in the same spot and log off/on may work I guess if you go to a hidden spot lol, but is there any other way. Say you want to transfer platina or some item between two low levels toons that can't travel yet, how do you do it? If you are new player, have no friends to be a middle man.

Does in game mail works? Probably not. So how you guys are doing it?
