This particular wipe with clan SHLD we had 9 players that averaged about 10 hours/day on the game. so, i was grouped a lot. the overall damage was worthwhile. I thought about dropping it for another damage but honestly at this point everything was overkill. i considered dropping a damage, coup and pick or maybe health for armor_piercing, but honestly i didn't like that effect too much. I also considered going full bashmod with ranks and gear, but i liked seeing oblits. after about 10-12 damage, pretty much anything you put on your thief works about the same.
Also, as this was my first wipe playing where multi-playing was legal and my secondary character was a cleric, having 3 corpses taking advantage of coup the few times i actually put them in the same room mathematically checks out.
