IN-GAME BIO

The Scarab god Khepri has many creatures under its will...

CHARACTER INFO

I've rolled up a few tankers, but had never gotten them past level four. I am definitely not a melee person. I have also wanted to use the Egyptian headdress in a costume since I started playing the game, but could never come up with a costume and theme that worked for me. And then with the release of issue 11 we got to play with Dual Blades. I probably would have ignored this fact, except that two of the custom blades that could be chosen were the Falcata and the Kopesh. True Egyptian time-period swords - and with them, the possibility of finally using the headdress *and* making a tank I'd want to play. Besu was the first melee character (and as of this typing, only) to get above the early teens. While I'm still not overly fond of melee, I thoroughly enjoy playing Besu.

Her name came from a typo. I was able to play these sets on the test server before they were launched live. I'd intended to name the character Bast, but ended up typoing it as Basu. I thought that sounded kinda cool, so once I rolled her on live, I tweaked it to Besu. Created November 28, 2007 - Dinged 50 October 4, 2008

BUILD

I know a lot of experienced Tankers will look at this build and say "... What?" Or perhaps "No, no, no, you did this all wrong." But believe me, everything I did with this build was deliberate and with intent. I very specifically added the Fitness and Fighting pools, I three slotted Stamina and Quick Recovery, and I chose mostly AoE and cone attacks (meaning she has little for combos). I'm a non-tanker playing a tank, so this build fits my playstyle and accomplishes my goals.
