Thread: Rubi-ka Only Char?

  1. #1

    Rubi-ka Only Char?

    I'm going to start this by saying i hate everything that SL represents, and I loathe the existance of it. So, I'm making a Rubi-ka only char, and I have a couple questions...

    What's the most viable class for doing this at this point in time. I want a profession that can solo when needed, and that kills pretty fast. Ability to stay alive is also a much desire feature :-P I also want a class that is exciting to play, not just hitting 'q' and watching the bars go down.

    If anyone can point me to some rubika guides, where to go at what levels and anything else i might find helpful please post.

    I'm looking forward to the classic approach to AO again.

    ok, i understand that you dont want to step foot in sl... thats fine but do you have the sl exp pack so your toons can use the perks? this might help with the decisions others might make.

    Adv's are great soloers, very good surviving skills and dish out loads of dmg.

    MP's are also good soloers imo, they have healpet to keep them (or their pets)
    alive. MP's have 3 pet's to control + debuffs to cast, so u'll always have something to do rather then pusing 'Q' and wait for the mob to die.

    At later lvl's all proffesions have tons of specs'n stuff to do due to the perk specs
    etc, so u'll get to do more then hitting 'q' what ever u choose.

    Good luck!

    I asume you wont be using any SL nano´s then either

    Go Fixer, they rock on RK and you dont wanna go to SL if you have one.

    Since you have the SL expo it opens a lot of possibilities, even though you won't take a step into SL

    GA fixer is a very good idea. Try to get your damage up / practise your kiting skills, and you should be able to take out some of the bigger dynabosses located around RK

    Adventurer with bio shielding and pistols are not a bad choise either. Best of luck!

    Thanks for "fixing" DM, Funcom, yeah, no really... thank you so, so much. I was missing having my toolset put back to 2007.

    glad to see i am not alone in the SL hating club
    I have all the expainsions, but SL is too much of a grind and too much fantasy. i will start shade one day as pure SL character so i will get quite different game. With my MA i am sticking to rubi-ka until i get to 200, which is not oging to happen in next few years :-D

    Reading through I haven't seen MA suggested, so I suggest that.

    A doctor isn't a bad choice; I dusted off my doc after about two years of inactivity to help someone with a mission, and was able to keep up just fine with their Powered By Shadowlands characters. He didn't even have symbiants in.

    Back when my doctor was my main, the answer was "Not really". These days doctors have plenty of combat options to choose from, and I'll defer to the experts on what and how.

    A GA Fixer is a great choice.

    A Martial Artist is also a very good RK choice (with or without SL exp)

    The MA can heal decent, evade decent (w/ sl the acrobat perk line will make you untaouchable by lvl 150) And also.... with an MA... you do not have to purchase new weapons. You will always have your best 'guns' on hand.

    Adventurers also a good choice. Bio/Shield + Acrobat. And they can usually roll up decent weapons to ql 200. (SOL Executioners)

    Doc is good in combat with the right gear and setup, If you are gonna use SL stuff u buy or that others get for you then you will be all the better.

    Essentially a doctors role in solo combat is to Outlast, it can be boring but with high nano init and heals you can sit there in full defense with your dots, heals, UBT and a weapon to add a bit more damage and (depending on your level) solo pretty much any non-raid mob out there.

    You might die of old age before the mob does tho (j/k)

    Be a good solo class so when you're sitting on RK not getting xp teams you can solo to 200 I would suggest MA or Adv!

    Hi,
    what the others said.

    I would propose either a MA/Adv for a solo class. Both can heal and both can deal damage on a fair level. As you said you don't want to stand there and wait...

    On the other hand, Crat (bot+2charms) or MP(attack/mezz/heal) are very nice solo classes also - if properly twinked, overequipped and even provided with the required outside buffs they rock too. However, it might still be a bit boring to look how your pets are getting rid of all the mobs, so maybe the first proposal (direct damage) is more for you.

    Have fun on RK.

    For solo-ability 175+ Nothing beats a doc. NOTHING.

    Sure it takes us a while to kill stuff. Though are damage / sec may be lower than other classes our Max damage is much higher than anyone elses simply because they would expire long before we ever do. Theorhetically (sp?) doctors do infinate damage because we rarely have to leave the fight.
