SC/Thug rating

[shovah]

i had a SC thread a few months ago but it got off topic and was left to rot so here is a new and improved sc/thug thread.
Simply list your favourite SC/Thug loadout along with the general idea behind it and its script, then wait for it to be rated by other players
People wishing to rate a Thug/SC should consider the following: cost/time to make, versatility, survivability and power

edit: since its a little quiet here i'll start.

Basic Thug: Banelord
Hellsword (or Wraith Sword if you cant get hell)
Horror Helm
Any dragon scale armour (avaliability/opponent will decide what type)
Flying Shoes (if possible)
Ring of Regen
Pendant of Luck.

this is an all purpose higher end thug who can deal with most things (apart from anti sc's like astral mages with penetration gear) as he is tough to kill and does decent damage. when you know everything your fighting will be quite weak you can swap out the sword for charcoal shield+any weapon

Your SC doesnt have quickness??

some people prefer flight over quickness. flight makes them more of a hazard on the map, where quickness makes them more of a hazard in combat.

My favorite (not saying it's the best) loadout for a thug under CB mods:

Banelord___15d
Dual Fire Bolas___10f
Hydra Skin Armor___10n
Sandals of the Crane___5s
Amulet of Resilience___10n
Luck Pendant___5s

55 gems total... you can throw a horror helm on if you like. He's better for supporting archers and mages than soloing, as the blink effect distracts pretty much everybody, and the fire shackles effect slows them down. High survivability.

Well thats interesting setup I must admit. Never tried that.

jade armor + flying boots

standard SC/thug gear for most loadouts

Yup.

[shovah]

another option would be swap that guys hydra armour for jade armour (and maybe one of his miscs for ring of regen) for even more shots

[Valandil]

kay.
i read. And then i thought. And this is what I did.
wished Nataraja
2 bows of war
sandals of the crane
eye of aiming
amon hotep
jade armor
heroic quickness 178 percent

It shoots about 70 arrows a turn, and is totally not worth the two hundred something gems it cost.

Thank you
