Hi There,

Just wanted a bit of general leveling advice for my bot. I am currently rocking this:

Level 107 plasma sword/light blade (Load) ______________________________ This was generated using Ender's build calculator. http://edmazur.com/bots/build_calculator.php

                             STR  CON  DEX  INT  ARMOR
Crystalized Armour                          +20    525

                             Absorb     : 62.04%

This is my freaking armor:

Thinking about working towards this:

I am using buffs to help train, as i don't have any level whores etc. should i be looking to add int? i should add that i don't have any redis currently.

You should definitely add int if you're planning on doing some levelling. I think that 30-50 base would be sufficient at your level. That way you can drop the Crystallised armour and equip a Blood Eater, which offers much better def. You don't need to worry about redising, just add it as you level up.

Soul harvesters are a very bad idea these days. Back in bots2, they were awesome predominantly because of the 420 set, but these days with freaking, its better to freak +dex armours and get evaps/whiplashes. Indeed, with that build you linked, you can actually freak blasters on, so forget the souls :p

Thanks heaps for the advice :) I haven't had a great deal of experience with freaking to get weapons and armor etc, but i am certainly beginning to realize how powerful it becomes for leveling. I will play around with the build calculator and work on a blaster build.

Thanks again

Just one more question, if someone doesn't mind letting me know. When leveling, If i were to work toward something like this:

Level 127 whiplash mauls (x2) (Load) ______________________________ This was generated using Ender's build calculator. http://edmazur.com/bots/build_calculator.php

                             STR  CON  DEX  INT  ARMOR

                             Absorb     : 61.1%

Around which point do i need to start adding dex to be effective? i want to concentrate mainly on leveling, but don't really want to become food later for high level bots.

i would start adding dex and int from now on, instead of going towards whiplash
