u could just use an imbued slayer helm too , 3 rangemage and decent def bonusesserp helm is definitely never worth using , you use way too many scales compared to the price of an antivenom <| sep |> You must be single with no kids <| sep |> The tarbrush of orientalism is being used to discredit ancient Arab historians like alTabari ? No it ' s used against actual Orientalist scholars . You know Orientalists like Theodor Nldeke . I ' m not using it as a slur . I also wouldn ' t callqualify alTabari as ancient . Abbasid would be a much better term . The ideas of Talhami and Shaban are far outside the mainstream and don ' t reflect the historical record of then contemporary observers and modern scholarship on the Zanj Revolt . The first problem with your argument is that the mainstream consists of European Orientalists again not using it as a slur who had limited access to information and data and the second problem is that it being the mainstream position doesn ' t make it a truer reflection of what occurred . The historical records of the then contemporaneous observers such as AlTabari do not paint what occurred as a slave revolt , but as a rebellious movement , one among many in fact , by a man called Al ibn Muammad against the Abbasid Caliph alWathiq . Al ibn Muhammed even claimed that the Abbasids were no longer fit to hold the Caliphate and that the Caliphate was his as birthright . While Al appealed to the enslaved African populations , that does not make what happened a slave revolt nor does it make all participating Africans of slave origins .
