Warcyer or Overlord?

Player Questions Started Last reply 11 posts
ive made an orc mystic but i dont have a clue what to go for at 40+. i made him so that i could buff and heal my gladi i would like to be able to grp my gladi and orc together and be able to exp safe. i would also like to be able to buff my clan members what should i do?
If you're just gonna use it as a boxed buffer for leveling, go WC. Warcryer has the offensive buffs (haste, crit buffs), though it doesn't get focus 3 till 68! -but the OL doesn't get those at all, so...
will i be able to buff clan or alliance members with a WC? and i will be usein my Orc to box with my gladi but i would like to be abke to use just my orc sometimes. ive been told orcs drains are insane is this true?
WC can only buff party members. Ol can buff alliance members - when they stand very close.

Orc drains are indeed very nice :cool:
what would u say i should go for?
If you are going to use him primarily for buffing your glad and only sometimes for buffing others, go WC. If your Glad is not in the same alliance as an OL you can't really buff him much anyway.
I agree completely. Warcryer can function as only buffer (not so well at level 40, because they get buffs later than others), but OL doesn't add enough offence, though zerk is nice. But that won't matter unless it's in the same alliance as the people you want to buff -includng yourself.
looks like im going to WC i would like to set him up in robes with fists is this a good idea? i would like to be able to pvp with him and solo with him. can i get some opinions please
I suggest WC for you. OL is very hard to solo after about 55. WC does well solo and is a great buffer. The drains are very nice on both.

OL is a crowd control debuffer with alliance wide buffs and back up healer. One of the best 1 vs 1 or group pvp character.

WC is a buffing machine with offensive weapon(spells). He can solo easily and is wanted in groups. In pvp he is very strong due to attack skills and drain.

I suggest you use heavy armor until at least 52. Both can use duels but carry a cheap club to stun with. OL get soul guard toggle which increases his pdef alot but consumes mp. Hope some of this helps. :)

The Warcryer/Overlord Drains have the same Power as an equal level Nuker, but cost Twice as much in MP to cast. The drain will return 80% of the HP it takes. (Draining CP doesn't return anything.)

So yes the Drains are 'strong' yet at the same time the MP usage is pretty much crippling the OL/WC to only be able to kill maybe 1-2 people before they are bone dry on MP. Neither the OL or the WC gets BtM or Clear Mind so their regen while standing/fighting doesn't add much to their ability to keep going. (MEN means little in almost all cases.)
wow thx thats alot of info and its helped alot ^^ ive made my choice and just nee to get him up into those high lvls

heh 1 good thing is that i have 2 toons so whens my gladi is out of mp i can switch to my Orc and carry on :D

i spend alot of time with my clan and alliance and get into alot of pvp so i think im going to go for a OL and it should help defend our alliances castle.(i dont mind not haveing to many buffs as i dont need many to be able to pve and my clan only has 1 OL)
