New question:

I sometimes see a lvl 15 with all [or nearly all] of his/hers items/gear rb and about 500+ pvp wins...Im guessing that they don't play on pve worlds otherwise they would lvl up... so how do they get rb's? you cant win them from pvp can you?

Thanx in advance =)

Those are what many refer to as "twinks". My understanding of them is this: A high-level player will start a new character and level it to 10 or so and no further. Then the high-level player will farm Sissi or SC for low-level gear. Next, the good RBs are transferred to the "twink" player. Now the twink can PvP without leveling and have great gear.

Since I have not done this, I may be a bit wrong on some points, so any one who knows better, feel free to correct me.

Oh good, this is a bit of a non sequitur..my apologies in advance. I encountered Sissirat for the first time last night on my level 13 ranger (2nd character)and had my head handed to me.

I then had the help of a lvl 15 mage .. we both still died horribly at room1.

I take it then that Sissirat is not soloable or even with duo at lvl 13-15 and either a full group or farming by higher lvl for twinks?

Nope - he's totally soloable, even by non-members (although, they may need more pots). One major factor in beating Sissirat is that you need to use the Poison Resist skill. This will increase your survivability significantly.

Ripper probably knows a lot more tricks than I do, but I couldn't run sissi with my mage until about lv 17, even with poison resist. My fighter, on the other hand, was taking him on at 12 or 13. My recommendation would be to get a tank.

Ahhhh Poison resist! Thank you, we could clear out all the henchmen but we kept dying repeatedly with our health bar going down faster then we could consume health pots.

Ok, off to grab Poison resist gear and place Poison resist skill.

When I started running Sissi, I found a bit of strategy also helped. I would kill Rattletoe (the champion with the two swords), then the venom spitters and then Sissi. Just ignore the little fellows until the end. Just a suggestion.

Aye!

I never killed sissi [until lvl 22 or something] ... i just skipped him and carried on with the other lvl's in the other dungeons... i saw him being killed in groups but did not attempt it until i got a higher lvl... to be honest i only tried again because i wanted the 10 kings coins..

..and yes, unless there is some Champion with a boss, i always go to kill the boss before the others.

Ok, Killed Sissi..or rather RattleToe, the 3 incredibly hardy Venom splitters, 2 blade wielding rats, then Sissi (she took forever to die) then the horde of little rats.

Sissy dropped a purple pointy hat, 5 Yellows, 5 greens, and about 3.2k in gold. I think it was about a push in terms of pots consumed. I'll just go do Algor's terror and other areas of Algeron...much more profitable at my lvl!

Bravo. I think Sissi can still be of some use to you, though. If you can get a group together and run her on insane, you may come away with some nice mythics for your level. In any regards, it is up to you.

defense Rating..

How does it help?

Does it decrease the amount of damage taken when hit? Im guessing it works like that but not to sure..

It decreases the chance of you getting hit with physical, non-magical attacks. It does not reduce the damage you take in any way, just your chance of getting hit. It is ignored by magical attacks.

Ohh right! - good to know!

Is there a chart or something that tells me how often will the enemy miss if i have xxx of defense rating?

Example.. I have 2k d.r. how often will the enemy miss? or does it depend on the enemy?

It also depends on the opponent's Attack Rating.
