Absorber: Ranged or Guns? Reply to this Post Post Reply with Quote Edit/Delete Posts Report Post to a Moderator       Go to the top of this page

I have a level 17 absorber, I personally picked the race for several reasons, but overall, I like it so plan on sticking with it.

So, my stats are currently close to perception (1Cool , agility (17) and knowledge (20), so I still have some flexibility on what I want to stress on more.

With two Good Magnums, I seem to be dominating my opposition; I can take down people several levels above me, especially ranged and melee (have some trouble with Gunfighters with equally good guns or better).

What, in your opinion, is the better weapon mid-game and late-game?
2h guns?
1h gun?
ranged?

Oops, i also didnt see it was necro.
Absorbers may have it harder to start off with, as when u finally rack up some blood, its all but useless to do anything in attacks.

On r2 i am thoughtcatcher, which gives me a bonus in attack and def if i happen to have some blood. Absorbers would just waste blood if their opponent does not use it.

Later in the game, act 2 arcana may be useful.
If you plan ahead, look at races for the act 2 arcana.

As for guns/range/melee, it really doesnt matter. Any items can be bought to give you the best setup, but I suggest u look at your good quest drops and form your attack strategy from that.


For example, i found a decent levitation neckpiece, and some good weapons. from that u can just buy everything inbetween and make a killer setup.

If you find hawks, solar etc, that would suggest u should become range/gunner.

Basically, if u wanted u could sell everything and change from guns to melee or whatever overnight. So i dont really think theres much advice to give on the 3 attack styles besides find 1 that works and stick to it ^^


Also, i wouldnt discount mélee. mélee works well if you have the right gear.
