TEAM SPOTLIGHT
DISCOVERING FAVORITE WEAPONS -- THE CONSORTIUM WAY
(List of critical attacks)
There have so many questions of late on Noblish Isle about criticals and The
Consortium warrior weapon rating method that this spotlight becomes quite pertinent.
Good luck in your weapon selections!
Does your battle axe "slice across with tree-felling power"? Or your long sword
unleash a "piercingly accurate thrust"? Or your quarterstaff attack with "berserker
fury"? No? Read on.
A common discussion in D2 is about finding a favorite weapon. Why would anyone want to
find the warrior's favorite weapon? Why? Simply because a warrior usually fights much
better with his favorite in his hand.
Upon graduation to The Isle (Lord Protectorship) each warrior is informed of his
birthright favorites. (Called "faves" by most of us.) That includes, the favorite
weapon, the favorite rhythm, and with luck, some favorite tactics and/or tactic
learns. Warriors also usually fight better when they are on their "faves".
This article is only about the weapon part of a warrior's faves. If one could fine a
warrior's fave early, one would presumably be giving their warrior a nice advantage in
fights. So how does one find a favorite weapon? Actually, you cannot "find" it, but
you can surmise it from the data you collect.
Consortium managers tend to find their warrior's fave weapon appx. 25-45% of the time
before graduation. (Some of the time, the fave is just not discernable; some of the
time, the estimate is just plain incorrect.)
The Consortium method is as follows:
Chart/record these numbers from each fight:
Weapon used
Swings
Crits
Extra value hits
Then record the data by weapon as follows: crits/swings/EHV.
For example, a striker may have tried three weapons with these results:
BS 0-21-1
SS 3-13-2
SC 1-19-0
The more crits per swing, the more likely you have found a favorite weapon. (Bear in
mind that a favorite weapon is not the ONLY reason one crits more. Factors like
experience, attack skill quantity, strategy levels, etc., also come in to play.) Even
if it is not the fave, it is certainly a better performing weapon, and ought to be
considered for a lot of use. It is thought that if a weapon is performing well, the
favorite weapon is probably that weapon, or one of a very similar type. For example,
the SS above looks most favorable, so there is some possibility that the fave is that
SS or another lunging type weapon, such as a LO or LS.
One of the more common questions is "Just what is a crit?" We Consortiumites define it
as a swing which "reads with extra ferociousness"! For example, using the SS above --
lunges with the SS is a normal swing while "shortspear moves like angry lightning" is
a critical swing.
To alleviate any questions of what is a critical swing, below are listed the best
active list of criticals per weapon.

Assur's Weapon Requirement Chart (without the inaccuracies)

** Battle Axe requires 9 size if you are carrying an off hand weapon
Off Hand
No Wit Requirement
Strength Requirement same as for Main Hand
No Size Requirement
Off Hand Deftness Requirements
For this section, you look at the weapons you want to use in your main hand (MH) and
off hand (OH). From the chart above find their deftness requirements. Use these
values in the chart below (MH on the left, OH on the top) and the result is the
deftness to use them together.
Examples: Suppose your scum wants to use ME in your main hand and LG in your off
hand. Cross referencing, 5 on the left, 7 on the top, you'll see that the required
deftness to use them together is 9.
MH\OH 3 5 7 9 11 15
3 4 6 8 10 12 16
5 5 7 9 11 13 17
7 6 8 10 12 14 18
9 7 9 11 13 15 19
11 8 10 12 14 16 20
15 10 12 14 16 18 22
Caveats: In finding the values for this chart, there have been inconsistencies. The
chart shows the value that we believe will always be well suited. Some warriors seem
to be able to use weapons in both hands with lower deftness than the chart shows. So
far, I have not seen evidence for a warrior requiring more than the value shown.
Note that some values make little sense. (While you can use an EP with an off hand SH
together with 10 deftness, you would still lack 5 points of deftness to use the Epee.)
SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, NOBLISH ISLAND? Ain't you never seen Snide
Clemens before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Now let's all watch BASH BROS
TBALL's heads swell from their 4-1-0 this turn. Haa ha ha ha! Big shots, big talk,
big deal. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see BAD COACH win a fight and
gain 19 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, FRIDAY beat MUD PIE and MUD PIE lost 10 points.
You're breakin' my heart. Our last turn's Duelmaster has lost, folks, lost to
CONVICTED ASSASSIN, and TUESDAY has made the way for a new Duelmaster! With TUESDAY
clearing the throne, SIMPLY DESSERTS of PROFITEROLE takes a proud seat as NOBLISH
ISLAND's new Duelmaster, by virtue of recognition points. I'm not in a very good
mood today, but why am I telling you this? You want to know what's new, don't you,
NOBLISH ISLAND?
My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start
talking.' I loved that woman. What's the big D? BASH BROS TBALL was the most
avoided team? Bunch of lily livered... grumble... mumble... curse... And it looks
like MY DIET FOOD avoided them the most this turn. What a pack of would be losers,
if you ask me. Hmph. Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, HOFFA!!! was this turn's most
challenged warrior. Watch that ego swell, sports fans. I guess I can give a little
credit to PORKY of BANGERS & MASH for challenging up by 24 to SALMON. PORKY won to
get 25 points of recognition.
Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals. I volunteer for NOBLISH
ISLAND's morgue. More variety. Well, TUESDAY, I guess HUNGER GAMES stable was just
too chicken to bloodfeud you over PORK BUTT. I guess cowardice is part of managing a
team. Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave team is developing these
kinds of weapons?
What does the NOBLISH ISLAND arena have in common with the inns? It's just as
comfortable to sleep in either place. Ha ha ha ha! Phlllt! Just had to do that
before I leave the fine city of NOBLISH ISLAND. I feel much better now. Glad to see
the back of this place-- Snide Clemens

What???!!! A loss to those Bash Brothers (the only loss) this round?! Grrrrr. -- The
Thin Man
Too Cold, I was already cold enough being on this diet and all. You jerk! -- Diet Mt.
Dew
Rigsquatch, you are my nephew. -- Poe-Tate-Toe, Poe-Tate-Tuh Puh-Tate-Uh
Hoffa!, I have your number, Bud.(Better avoid me.) -- Salad
Embezzling Scribe and Mordant Deserter, thanks for your time and the wins. -- Chicken

All, ask Me and Assur questions; we will tell you no lies. -- The Thin Man
Strategy question: Suppose you are a basher who gets the jump on a lunger. You use a
WH. But then you find out that you favor a GA or a Maul. Should you now use the bigger
weapon even if that lunger wears only leather? Or if you are a lunger and find out
that you favor a shortsword, should you use that against plate armor? Which is more
important--using your favorite weapon or using the weapon best suited for the opposing
armor? -- Struder of Bangers & Mash
Basic knowledge question: How do you know when you are "maxed out" and have learned
all 120 skills in ADM? Just beginning to play again after decades, don't have all the
old paperwork. Do you get a message saying, "You can no longer learn any new skills"?
Yes. But if you're not yet maxed, please contact customer service for a skill
check if you have old warriors and don't have your learning records. -- RSI
