For a warrior, how much AC or resistance should one have for the endgame? - Page 2

Yeah I like high AC against Morgoth, though lets face it an endgame warrior is perfectly capable of fighting in a robe of permanence, you just take more damage. I'd just make sure you have enough speed, hps and damge. Rbase + Rpoison. Ideally your melee stats sustained. Most of the rest is icing on the cake.

Thanks for the insights guys. Unfortunately, the character I was running with got Kavlax'ed yesterday.

On the other hand, I already started a new run this afternoon and more or less managed to reach the same point I was when I started this thread. Not too fond of loosing that character but at least I have an idea on what to look out for this time.

Unless you find Nenya on DL24...

Right. I guess I should spend more time there, just in case!

Kavlax and Castamir the Usurper are the first really dangerous uniques, that can easily take you before you get a useful turn. Castamir does huge water damage that stuns and confuses, and can easily get in a second shot before you're able to escape. Kavlax ... well you found that out. First he breathes gravity; next, you're dead.

Castamir ? You mean Gorlim.

Yeah, I mean Gorlim. Of course. Castsmir doesn't cast often enough to be dangerous.
