I'm a VERY slow player. Now with this knowledge of the maze (which is called the Labyrinth in the German translation), I've made up a new character with a new background. The only thing that stayed was the race, as I absolutely love Aasimar.
I have a few of them in DDO ( I'm an altoholic there :lol: ).
I try to approach things a little bit differently now.
Last time, I had made a ranger, I guess, now it's … a hunter ?
Both seem to be very similar in a lot of points, maybe it's a translation problem ?
The one is called a "Waldläufer", which is a traditional trnslation of "ranger" here.
The second one, of which I guess that it is a hunter class, is translated as "Förster".
In Real Life, the word "Förster" means a real profession of someone caring for a wood, usually paid by the government. He doesn't primarily hint animals like boar, deer, rabbits, fox etc. , his (or her) main profession is caring for the trees and for the wood.
The hunter is then a "Jäger", and this is not a real profession in RL, rather some kind of hobby. I know of no professionals there, although I must say that the Förster and the Jäger both overlap in some things, as both are mostly bound to woods (Jäger can also be found in the countryside which is dominated by farming, especially if boars are destroying crops), and both are determined to reduce the number of wild animals if they destroy the woods too much (some kinds of deer for example love eating the "skin" of young trees, thus crippling them or even kill them, as the "skin" of trees are the trees' living parts which transport the water to the top).
So, I'm not really sure what is what within the game. The Förster does have an animal companion, the Waldläufer does not, which surproises me, because in DDO, Waldläufer have animal companions ( I know of one very early ( level 1-2 ) DDO item which indeed has "ranger" translated as "Förster").
Now, I'm playing that, and out of curiosity I took a horse as my animal companion. I'm curious as how useful this might be.
And even horses can have several roles, it seems … I used the one which is translated as "Bollwerk", which I guess is a tank.
And I already put a healing potion into its belt.
Regarding translations : Can someone please transcribe Seelah's battle cries for me ?
With some, I get only rubbish like "Let the Inherner guide my blade !".
Others are well understandable, on the other hand, like "The Right Hate You !"
Another question : Very early within the game, Selah seems to be more missing than hitting enemies. Is there some way to "fix" that ? Do I have to put more points into something ? I noticed that her "athletic" is very low, so I put one or two points into that (I think I'm at level 2 with my new characters now).
