I just cant decide Eval/Wrestle or Resist for my T-hunter?

[jmal01]

As i the topic says i cant make my mind up, i have a T-hunter with:-

Carto
Lock
Music
Provoc
Med
Magery

ATM i have GM Eval as my 7th skill but not sure if to drop that and take up wrestle or resist.

Please help me choose!!

Cheers all

Wrestle becuase if you bard correctly and maybe even use EQ on your barded monsters, eval is a waste, and resist is also kind of a waste cuz you can just always have reflect up and carry reflect items, so I'd go with wrestling.

Hiding.

Most useful skill to do high end maps solo. The other 3 skills are fine and dandy for a dungeon dwelling bard, but for a t-mapper, I find hiding is a godsend.

Wrestling will help you get out of a tightspot, but in t-maps, you generally have a lot of open space to run around.

Eval.

I like Eval because if the provo doesn't work out perfectly you can just mana dump and kill most mobs.

Wrestling is mainly for PVP and escaping PKs. It's not much use for Tmaps unless you're a complete idiot or have 500 ping.

Hiding would be my second pick. It's useful but I just use invis items which are far superior and can be used even as a Balron is smashing your face one tile away.

Wrestling is essential.

I too would vote for Wrestling.

FWIW, I don't have Meditation on my treasure hunter, but have Hiding instead. I never really missed Meditation; would take me two recalls (one to rune library, one to the map spot), and I'd have 100 mana by the time the chest was up anyways. Only ever used mana for healing/curing, with the very occasional Energy Vortex if I had things under control and wanted to speed things up.

hiding is pointless cuz as a LPer youll get invis items

resist>wrestling>eval

if u cant run away from mobs at a tmap and not get hit during a spell you suck, you'll have more trouble getting flamestriked by 2 mobs and dying

dumping on mobs sucks and dumping on level 4 and 5 tmap spawn is dumb

using reflect items and invis items is expensive

hiding is interesting

Bottom line counts!!

[Kabal]

Invis items are common, and it only takes one or 2 reflect charges to get away, where as if someone trys to pk you, your dog food with out wreslte. Without resist you get disrupted by low level spells from mobs a lot which is annoying, but as far as getting double FSed by a mob, never really happens, only when theres a high concentration of high lvl monsters such as on a t map.

go wrestle, personally find hiding and resist pretty worthless on a thunter

lv5 chests are the only ones you might even need to use invis items on. once you put some distance between you and the initial spawn, it's child's play. generally you can do a lv5 chest without even using an invis item/hiding

[Light Shade]

I couldn't imagine having a Treasure Hunter without Hiding, personally. Using Invis items on a T-Map is a waste of resources, from a monetary point-of-view. Resist is kinda pointless if you keep Magic Reflect up, and don't stand there letting things dump on you. Wrestling is only helpful if you're going to stand and cast, which doesn't go along with the "no resist" line of thought.

Just off screen, hide, and then cast if you're in trouble. Hiding costs nothing to GM, whereas Resist is....the opposite of that. Eval is only useful if you're going to be killing the mobs with Magery...and you have Provoking, so you'll only need Magery to finish off a mob. Eval is therefore not necessary.

I've used hiding on my T-Mapper since day one...and its been rather effective if my opinion counts.

Just my 2 cents.

Just my .02 here... I have eval, and honestly I think it was a poor choice. Hiding would be alot more usefull, during the dungeon crawling that you have to do to work your lockpicking and when your out doing maps. Wrestling would only make sense to avoid to pks during the time your working your lockpicking, and in all reality.. theres usually 4 of them against you... your most likely dead anyhow, same with resist. Your really not going to need resist doing maps..
Good luck with your choice and happy treasure hunting!

[Robbbb]

Go with hiding. If you have reflect up you should really never have problems with PK's. They have to reveal you first and then cast. If you have reflect up they cannot disturb your recall.

Also, if you perfect it you can loot an entire chest without doing anything. All you have to do is pull an item out of the chest and hide at the EXACT same time you pull it out. Wait 10 seconds and repeat.

You can do the whole chest without being attacked if you are good.

Cheers for all your feedback hiding is my choice! I just think from what i have seen i can do without the wrestle and resist.
