Int Birds

[Arterra]

So, I'm guessing there are no int bird builds or even tests out there in recent history? Cool.

Maybe we can start one... Right now doing random pvp with a bird. Will post current stats and notes as time goes by

Give it a try :P

I've seen a few lately too.

I don't really know what the advantages are though, aside from being unique :P

Anyone?

[Riccits]

can u shortly tell me the advantages of a int-bird..?

add: ups elly was faster
anyway for me an int-bird sounds a bit of a nonsense...

[Arterra]

Emmmm in low levels I guess you can use darkbolt staffs for cruel blast. I did that and loved it at lv10 ish.

Afterwards, not too much. Int does make the skill restore take off tho. I respec to str and noticed I got very little off it. Back to int and voila 40 recovery level one. Also staffs with good damage help with skill damage. Frankly if I could test a frozen gear Dex and int bird together fairly would help out a lot.

It sounds fun, but just from a practical point of view :

Str, Dex, Int Bear - all have advantages.
Str, Dex, Int Mage - all have advantages.
Str, Dex Bird - all have advantages.

It's the Int bird that I can't see having an advantage that a dex bird can't do. Maybe I'm missing something..

Got to be tricky and kite em . Still not too sure but if staff damage is high enough could work.
Also sometimes wand and eye work fine for me, 55 armor is nice compared to 37 from staff...

IMO dex mages havent much advantages too.. have they..?

I think they have the highest single target damage in-game, not sure, but it seems so.

Dex gear with all that crit + a high DPS recurve, sounds deadly to me.

INT bird in PVE (at lvl 30) are useless as far as I am concerned... played one for lvl26 to 30 and it was a useless scared pathetic little thing. Chirp.

Stop running in pvp!!! lol

more than a pure dex bird..??

at least a pally has a lot armor butm a dex mage misses that too and loose a lot of skill dmg..

[Ellyidol]

I'm not sure. Mages already have really high damage output with their skills, so if all of them crit (assuming 90ish crit with gear) + all crit normal attacks, it might be possible.

Again not sure, just speculating

Beanmachine speced his bird to equip intel gear recently. Maybe he can chime in on what he thinks. I ran a few PvP with him against my pure dex bird (we are both 56) and it was pretty even if my initial salvo was dodged or missed. Down side of the staff in PvP is that its range is shorter than the bows.

I think mana regen is the biggest thing that and intel build would help with if you are using certain gear. Every bird knows that mana is a huge problem with the Raid Roach gear. However, the Sewer King leather, cap and bow pretty much solve this problem without resorting to an intell build.

Disagree. I only use aoe staffs in pve, and this basically lays me have good overall damage and keep my single target armor killing abilities. At least till swamps (brainfreeze int bird can prob solo it...)

Stop running in pvp!!! lol

That instance was with a str bird, I agree not good. BUT a int bird plays the role of support killer, and there just isn't a fair fight between int bird and anything else. Int birds HAVE to be light on their feet, there is no Shaming them.
Oh and yes I have freaking infinite mana xD

Was being sarcastic :P

As far as I'm concerned, there's nothing illegal on using your joystick to move while fighting in pvp.

Probably has to do with playing style... Doesn't work well for me at all.

[Arterra]

Lol I only use joystick. Touch to move is like mud.

And yes, in pve I am constantly in and out, moving them together, taking out the healers and rebuffing everything.

Remember: joysticks let you romp at your discretion.

Not sure about lower levels, but some dude who was 55 named Abaquloz or something was terrible. tried to outrun buffs and would not stop running until he reached the other end of the map. Sounds pathetic, I know. He didn't do much damage either. Actually, I think a standard lvl 50 did more damage.

Lol yea my sentinel bird owned him. I think the higher level you get, the worse it is for pvp. But I still think it has pve potential.

Or maybe he just sucked :P

Do all/most int gear have crit?
