| Luck On Necro (Thoughtcatchers) |
     |
Ok guys and girls here goes (as advised by Szeszej).
The new UK Necropolis server is a most welcome addition, but I find myself asking time and time again is the LUCK that Thoughtcatchers get really too much given the restrictions this type of realm has over a much bigger realm.
What I'm trying to say is that should Thoughtcatchers get what is essentially huge 10 luck bonus over other characters.
In Necro we get normal, good and perfect items as opposed to Underworlds normal 0-5, good 0-5 and perfect 0-5. This means that this 10 luck immediately in the game makes so much difference to the characters.
Long term, I'm not fully aware of how it pans out, but certainly for this quick of the blocks approach it appears no-one can keep up with them (look at the top 100).
Even for an englishman my english is poor, so if anyone can describe what I'm trying to say in a more eloquent and grammatically superior way, please go ahead.
Thanks all.
Gazo

I think you put it quite well yourself Gazo 
But in a nutshell;
"Thoughtcatchers have an unfair advantage at the beginning of the game, as their luck increases their chances of finding Good items while questing."
Well its the same on every server at every level; one race will dominate.
At the beginning on underworld BM have a clear advantage with additional HP, at higher levels Absorber's easiness is almost invaluable.
From my experience playing Underworld for close to two years I've found each race has its positives and negatives, and generally they are on of the best balanced things in the game. With regards to necro, I haven't been playing long but I can see how other races bonuses will help greatly at different stages of the game
It just depends on what path you wish to take and how you want to play the game, but that's only my opinion.

I think the problem is not so much the 10% luck, as it is having a dodge, and also Arcana that gives HP and guarantees anti gunning.... if you get what I mean. The whole lot early on is incredible, especially against 2 handed melee whihc only has attack currently, a dodge can ruin them.
However as Artoir has said, later on it should balance out, when Act II arcana comes in I reckon that we'll see either the cultist, or beastmaster dominate. Or maybe even Cursed one.

I got a question regarding Luck in general on necro and dont see the need to start a new thread for it..
Is it just me or does luck NOT increase % chance for successful quest like on underworld ?

Icreases both % of passing and chance to find better equip. But I would say the +10 luck aint as great as its being made out here. then best Good Item ive found is a jacket. And if it plays similar rules to UW. you need 40+ for "rare" finds to be coming along.

Luck does have a greater effect on Necro than underworld. And it only increases the chance of finding preifxes/suffixes, not the rarity of the ones found, just looks liek that cos more are found.
Today with no luck I have found a good balaclava of shepherd and a good plastic amulet.
It's still a good boost, but later on 10 luck is also achievable by absorbers
