Hi,
I don't much about Savages, unfortunately. I
checked www.classesofcamelot.com and there was
no style guide up for savages. There were some
forums there, so asking the question there is
probably good.

Doesn't matter now, I've started a savage :)
Any recommendations on where to put my specialization points into?
I've put some in axe at the beginning just to get through the lvl's until 5
but now I have the hand to hand skill I dont really need the points in axe,
any advice from anyone would be great.
Cheers
Stu

Little new info in EQ now we have a new ability for
plate class called Shielding as to where a plate class
can absorb the damage dealt to a caster class PC .
