2 gems, 8-9-8-14-9-9-13 & 12-5-4-17-11-9-12

Haven't seen a whole lot of rollup discussion lately, or maybe they're just getting bumped down by the spam! So here goes, for the same arena, but they will likely see several tourneys:

A) 8-9-8-14-9-9-13
Could be just about anything really. I'm thinkin' 9-9-8-17-15-9-17 SL, or 11-11-8-17-15-9-13 off-TP

B) 12-5-4-17-11-9-12
gotta go with ST on this one, I've had too many good rollups go nowhere because of normal damage... 17-5-4-21-15-9-13 LU/SL/ST/BA

What would you do?

a) 8-9-8-14-9-9-13 ... I like the 9-9-8-17-15-9-17 SL, but I'd change it slightly to an 13-9-8-17-15-9-13 SL. I want the BS and the GA for heavy armor. This bad boy will HURT some people!

b) 12-5-4-17-11-9-12... I don't know why, but I'm guessing AB. A bit risky, but 15-5-4-21-13-9-17 AB or SL or BA, in about that order. Going all out, obviously. Cool

As has been brought up before (and in my own meager experience)I think that SL's tend to get a little bonus to their damage ability. In other words, it seems to me that they tend to beat the odds and do more damage than is likely to be expected. AB's are next in line to demo that tendency (but this I have read second hand, as I haven't graduated a single AB!) On the other hand, an offensive, Genius Basher that can get his hands on a battle axe or a great axe, for that matter, is going to play 'Blacksmith' on someone's head and hit his target hard and often. I might even roll the dice and drop the ST to 15 and raise the SP to 11 just to get that extra bit of decise...

But that's just me. Wink

gotta go with ST on this one

I just realized this could be taken the wrong way... I meant I gotta go with Strength, not necessarily Striker.

B same as you, Buri SL/BA/ST

Your design for warrior A looks sound to me.

As or the sz 4... I'd go: 17-6-4-21-11-10-15.
