ADOMPossible: Team Indecisive

[GothicHamster]

Howdy teammates! Well I guess we have to pick classes and such. To be honest I am rather new to ADOM so I am probably not a good person to orchestrate this discussion. Really the main reason I created the thread was so we were not the only team without one. If anyone on the team has some thoughts on this stage please hijack this thread and do it up proper!

[Blasphemous]

I guess favorite classes come first:

1) Wizard
2) Wizard
3) Wizard
4) Errrr... scratch that.

-----------------------------

1) Wizard
2) Duelist
3) Barbarian
4) Elementalist
5) Archer

6) Mindcrafter
7) Necromancer
8) Ranger
9) Healer
10) Druid

Anything not listed above is what I don't usually play so I don't care.

[_Ln_]

Here's our races:

Indecisive: Troll, Gnome, Dark Elf, Mist Elf, Human

Disregard the individual standings, I've tried to balance possible picks.
1) Paladin
2) Archer
3) Elementalist
4) Barbarian
5) Wizard
6) Ranger
7) Necromancer
8) Assassin
9) Priest
10) Druid
11) Monk
12) Fighter
13) Beastfighter
14) Healer
15) Duelist
16) Weaponsmith
17) Farmer
18) Mindcrafter
19) Bard
20) Merchant
21) Thief

Possible picks (according to drafting rules):
1. Paladin (human/mist elf), Druid (gnome), Monk (troll), Merchant (dark elf)
2. Archer (human), Priest (dark elf/mist elf), Fighter (troll), Bard (gnome)
3. Elementalist (gnome/human/mist elf), Assassin (troll), Beastfighter (dark elf), Mindcrafter (gnome/human)
4. Barbarian (troll/dark elf), Necromancer (gnome/mist elf?), Healer (troll/mist elf?), Farmer (human)
5. Wizard (gnome), Ranger (troll), Duelist (human), Weaponsmith (mist elf/dark elf)

I suggest we use the mist elf for the CK and leave him out of the decisions for the drafting.

[Blasphemous]

I'd use mist elf for elementalist or at least necromancer. I personally think mist elves don't do too well as melee classes.

[Grey]

Do I belong here? I'm not sure...

I agree almost completely with _Ln_, except I'd move priest and wizard above barbarian:

1) Paladin
2) Archer
3) Elementalist
4) Priest
5) Wizard
6) Barbarian
7) Ranger
8) Necromancer
9) Assassin
10) Druid
11) Monk
12) Fighter
13) Beastfighter
14) Healer
15) Duelist
16) Weaponsmith
17) Farmer
18) Mindcrafter
19) Bard
20) Merchant
21) Thief

Bard is really bad for this competition because of the random skills and almost no starting survivability.

The Chaos Knight should just be assigned randomly. Such is the way of chaos!

[Aerin]

I'm okay with the list as Grey has presented it. I would drop necro a couple slots, but I'm just not very good with them.

[_Ln_]

With Grey's list we'll get:
1) Paladin, Druid, Monk, Merchant
2) Archer (human), Assassin (troll), Fighter (delf), Bard (gnome)
3) Elementalist, Necromancer, Beastfighter, Mindcrafter
4) Priest, Ranger, Healer, Farmer
5) Wizard, Barbarian, Duelist, Weaponsmith

I like #2, #4 is virtually the same, #5 is very good.

But with #3 we may have problems with out troll. We'll have to appoint him/her as a CK which is a waste IMHO.

We may swap Assassin and Necro in Grey's list and we'll get:
1) Paladin, Druid, Monk, Merchant
2) Archer, Necromancer, Fighter, Bard
3) Elementalist, Assassin (troll), Beastfighter, Mindcrafter
4) Priest, Ranger, Healer, Farmer
5) Wizard, Barbarian, Duelist, Weaponsmith

which will allow us a bit more flexibility IMHO.

edit: Actually even better is to swap Necro with the Ranger which will net us:
1) Paladin, Druid, Monk, Merchant
2) Archer, Assassin, Fighter, Bard
3) Elementalist, Ranger, Beastfighter, Mindcrafter
4) Priest, Necromancer, Healer, Farmer
5) Wizard, Barbarian, Duelist, Weaponsmith

Troll Mindcrafter would be fine. In general troll should be shoved on the weakest class on the group to make sure they survive the early game. Whatever class skills they have are just a bonus on the main troll class (hit things hard).

Human or dark elf makes most sense for chaos knight.

Closing the gate with a class that can't use its class powers? This is supposed to be fun, not just who scores more.
