[QUOTE="kingius, post: 5967490, member: 85123"] Not to labour the point, but this is why fighters carry ranged weapons. Disrupting spells being cast (for example) is a very fine use of multiple attack per round bow. Not to be too condescending - so please correct me if you feel I'm being this way - but I really doubt that any of you have played a solo fighter at high level to understand how to use him effectively. When you talk about fighters, I have in my mind that you are picturing the Barbarian, rather than the multi purpose fighter who at high level has likely got a +5 sword and a +4 bow with +5 arrows in his backpack (or an assortment of munitions) to quick strike at a distance at foes that can threaten him before he can shut down their abilities. If he's solo, you may do what I do when I play a fighter - get a good ranged attack and excellent melee capability. If you fancy a challenge, try it some time. Most fighters have a good DEX score, remember, because platemail is not available at low levels due to cost... so he's going to need it. Maybe, just maybe, you'll shift your position a little, but I do doubt it. [/QUOTE]
