I have lost all options to play him, and I kinda lost all intrest in the game at the moment, Ill be back when I have the means to play. Loved this guy he was my most favorite char so far.

Tooo many people to thank, but you know who you are, so thank you.

Remember this?

Thanks for the help and all the fun times! Nothing beats the learning curve like experienced veterans.

Of course we always had a blast together as Menkh. Fun times! Hope to see you playing around later.

I would have appreciated it if this character hadn't told everyone Rorey was in the harlequins when I was first starting out. I'm really not sure what was up with that.

I wish you hadn't been wandering around in the front row with a crossbow that time I murdered you. Four-rounding you was fun and all, but I'd have enjoyed it more if you had a kama/shield wielded.

My favorite memory of this character was when there were duels in the empire coliseum, and a master-level dwarf specced in throwing axe beat the crap out of him. Then Achernar was yelling about how Tironitus wanted to claim the title of hero and I was like tell achernar Uh, Tironitus is that guy who just got killed by a master-status dwarf wielding a throwing axe, right? And Achernar responded something along the lines of battle prowess not being the only criterion for becoming hero, and I was just like, "Well, I just don't think a hero would die to someone named Billis McGillis." Good times.

Sakhul is still the merc hero. Rawr.

What were Sakhul's specs?

Shuriken and battle spear. Pretty much used shuriken 99% of the time.

Ohai gaiz! This thread is about Tironitus!

I've found that shuriken seems to do very poorly against swashbucklers and high-accuracy specced mercs. I know it's nowhere in the helpfiles, but is it possible that exotics are easier to parry than normal weapons? I mean shuriken is great for tanking but against certain opponents it's completely ineffective at dealing damage, even with the fury bonus. Was that your experience?

Edit: Relating this back to Tironitus. I tried shuriken against Tironitus (kama spec) in a duel and don't think I dropped him below 90%. Same against Aritha (bastard sword spec). I also found that against Dimytri, it was unable to do damage when wielding a shuriken but could tear him apart with more damaging weapons. Against these types of opponents, nearly every other weapon (that actually gets used) seems to outperform shuriken.

It's different for barbs.
