Well something I have to admit: I love my Scout!!! Yeah, I've been a traitor and played Alb for a few days but, hell I like my Scout too much. Besides I like my Ministrel either ... ;)
Abermenai and Thidranki keep defenses with a Scout are a bomb. Just wait until somebody sits down near the shore to reg, feeling safe. The nicest are the Hib keeps where you can stand behind the wall firing at people on long range while other Bow classes can't shoot you because their range is too short to fire at you. Once you are in range for them you're also out of sight. So you can't shoot them either but at least you're safe. Your only enemy would be bolt casters wich you can interrupt with an arrow or block the Bolts with the Engage Shield skill :)
Well on such an Abermenai keep defense we were raided by around 20 Hibs and we were 5 (2 Scouts, 1 Infiltrator, 1 Armsman, 1 Paladin). That was one of those 8am raids so there was no chance for reinforcements. I wasn't very optimistic when the raid started but it turned out as the best and funniest keep raid ever.
Well on the first try there were about 10 Hibs trying to raid and we successfully smoked them with Scout range and Infiltrator power. After they had lost their Healer they were doomed. Well but a few mins later they came back with around 20 people and without us even knowing that they had arrived they had already set up the ram on the outer doors. me being stupid, jumping on the climbing post and shot at the 1st best Bard. 5 seconds later I was stunned and another five seconds later dead and had to release. Lucky as I was I missed teh port and had a little break. On the cg I read that they already placed a 2nd ram on the outer doors and when I ported, the 1st door was down (lvl 5 O.o). So I decided to grab some wood in ATK and to sneak heavily encumbered to the CK.
I arrived and survived and the Inner door was already on 70%. I stood in the front of the inner doors and typed /repair ... ... ... you ain't got enough wood to repair the gates :(. Well what now? There was just one thing I could do ... wait for more wood. Sadly nobody including me had enough cash to buy enough wood to keep the inner gates up. So I chose to repair the outer doors. That was harder then I thought because everytime that I started to repair I destelthed and there was a Nightshade stalking around the gatekeeper. so often I couldn't even finish the repairs before the NS hit me and i had to teleport inside. after a few tries and the outer gates successfully repaired about 3 times the Nightshade attacked together with a Fian and I died and had to release again. The outer doors were still open and not much of repaired either. So I decided to get my Armsman online to transfer some cash to my Scout.
I missed one port and when I arrived in ATK the Inner doors were at about 30%. I grabbed as much wood as I could and ran unstealthed across AB and even got into the keep, alive.
20% ... no time to loose ... I started repairing ... ... ... 25% ... ... ... ... 30% ... ... ... (thx to the folks who killed the ram controller) ram decays ... all of a sudden AoE DoT on me ... no healer ... ouch ... ouch ... ouch ... ouch ... phew ... I survived ... I continue repairing the doors ... ... AoE DoT again ... I die ...
At this point I thought we lost because I missed the port again ... but ...
I read in the cg ... Hibs INC with Siegemaster. Kill him, kill him. Damn he got through. they have placed the ram ... ... ... No, they've misplaced it :)
I fetched some wood and ran back to the CK ... ram INC again ... ram placed ... I got inside the keep ... trying to repair the inner doors but my woodworking skill is too low to succeed every try. The tanks left to get me more wood ... the infil keeps killing the ram controller but my repairs are slow and i was running out of wood fast. about 30 boards left ... not enough to repair the inner doors. Inner doors at 10% .. .i choose to try the outer doors again ... i get attacked by the Nightshade and I had to teleport but the Infiltrator gets him. I tried again ... ram controller runs inside to the ram ... outer doors close ... ram controller gets killed by guards ... Hibs gave up ... we win :D
That was real fun :)
