SC/Thug rating

[shovah]

i am currently in love with the gloves of the gladiator (whats so good about serpent kryss?) and sometimes i will resort to a sword of sharpness/stinger. a herald lance is always nice for taking out undead and swords of swiftness are quite good. for shields i like: charcoal shield (duh) vine shield (has its uses) lucky coin (when misc slots are full) and shield of gleaming gold is very effective vrs low morale things

on the topic of thugs/sc's ive actually found fire kings to be quite good (did they get booster in cb?) they have a very strong fire shield, good health, and AoE ap attack and iirc can have weapons without losing their flame strike. they have no protection but if you give them dragon armour, lucky coin/pendant of luck and a ring of regen they become monsters (hard to hurt with ranged weapons and any melee attackers are likely to get toasted)

edit: didnt notice the serpent kryss had 2 attacks now, that definetly makes it useful atleast. the 2 attacks combined with its death poison should make it easier to take out tough enemys atleast.
how about this: serpent kryss x2, any armour, boots of quickness, pendant of luck and cat charm.
the extra defence from the charm and the quickness should make you hard to hit (most high health things dont come in large numbers so you shouldnt face many attacks) and the 4 kryss attacks+ boots should be a deadly combo (i can see miamasa ctis making this) and you could always swap a misc out for an astral serpet if you want more death poison
