*cough* With all due respect, Nightfire--wouldn't it be better to put all your various Crab builds into one thread? You don't even seem to differentiate between any of them--they're just numbers, and that doesn't really give the casual forum browser any clue as to why Build 2 is better than Build 4. And believe me that I say this, as someone who is looking for a good Recharge Crab Build.

There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

They are differentiated Dumple, I explain how I changed each after I posted them. For example Build 1 has Longfang slotted 4 Decimation and 1 Achille's Heel Proc. Build 2 has Longfang 5 slotted Decimation and no Achille's Heel Proc. They also say how I slotted Omega Maneuver. Builds 1-6 follow this pattern. I'm trying to show different slottings for Omega Maneuver also (I intend on putting separate numbers later on for Omega Maneuver for each of the builds). I apologize, that I'm not really good at writing up a traditional guide, but rest assured, I pointed out the differences at least Oh, how do I thread them all into one, as I see what you mean by making it look neater. I'm going to rename the titles as well for better clarification.

This thread is for posting Guide or FAQ links for Soldiers of Arachnos. Please create your guides in the "Player Guides" forum (since posts in that section do not roll off) and link the thread here. Also, do not post your guide in this thread - only the link to your guide. For non-Soldiers of Arachnos guides, check the master list of all Guides in the Guide to Guides



Failing any clear identifier from the poster, I will go by the original post date vs. Issue releases: Since VEATS were introduced in Issue 12, there is not likely to be any guides for this section prior to this date.

Updated 5 Jun 2009. I had nothing better to do, removed the dead links and added Linea_Alba's spreadsheet comparison.

I know the forums just recently moved and I'm sure there are still a lot of bugs to works out.

The guide links don't work. With Double XP weekend, by Arachnos Soilder is leveling really fast and I was hoping to get some advice from the forums. Will the links be "fixed" soon?

---

The old links are just screwed now

We need to go through and gather them back up for a repost.

---

Because I am both slightly bored and mysteriously helpful:

---

Character references! Artz! Whatnot!

NICE! Now we need to get the first post updated!

Also, I like how I can edit my old posts now, so I can edit my old guide without reposting. SO awesome!!!

---

Haha finally I was wondering how many links I had to click until I found the right one

---

In the Grand scheme of things people don't know when to shut up.

Elprede- 50 Blaster Ice/elec
Flaron Llothren- 50 Tank Ice/SS
Technic Flame- 50 Controller Fire/kin
Lance Indalen- Brute 50 Em/elec
Heart widow- Widow 50

ok here goes first post on the forums. So my questin is .. are there no quides now or more to the point how to i find them all links seem to go no where or not found...? Cant believe you nurfed them all ..

---

None of these links work... at least not for me anyway.

---

Travel Suppression is this game's worst feature, well that and MetaHumans riding mass transit like tourists at DisneyLand.

Thanks Maynia!

---

I have a question. It's probably pretty dumb but...

If I have a level 20 hero will I be able to make a VEAT when i17 comes out?
