1.109 - HOLY SLAM NERf

[Logi]

heh, reading vnboards atm and its funny all the scouts are crying because they've learned to do nothing but zerg and add and rely on slam to run away, now they're fucked because they have to learn how to play properly rather than just slam and spam PB or slam and runspeed to the hills.

mweh tbh, this slam change doesnt mean a thing, a truly experienced player can still buzz in an 8sec stun from the side with the Mangle style. Guess strafing will be alot more popular now.

mebe 50 shield gets more popular, or the bads will just slam and then /engage till immunity is gone, shouldnt take that long with a 5 sec stun :<

 

[Dvaerg]

Does kill the Hybrid spec. Makes reavers/tic with some interesting spec options now. Scouts to the bottom of the pile now hah. Think thats more zergs now.

Hehe thank god i made a tic temp with no spell pierce so i am not gonna go with 42 shield and 43 enhance 47 rej spec

47 Rej, 50 Enhance yaaaa!! and the crush style will have 4 seconds neway =p

idiots that /face or /stick a target deserve to get strafe stunned

 

[Dutch_NS]

LOL is it me or did nightshades get focking overpowerd again?

Trying to hit renew on my shade account!

 

[Yrendan]

I overally like the patch! Stunning ppl every 15 sec seems nice ;p not essentially a shield nerf if you know what are you doing ;p

PS: WTF with skald and savage love!

 

[Aada]

I'd love to get into DAOC again but i really don't want to do all the TOA bullshit ;/

 

[Punishment]

Toa got nerfed some time ago, you can get all artis and ml1-9 in 5 minutes now if you know someone selling bp's or buy 45k or so atlantean glass for 45p

Also im rolling a savage now

Bp's are way cheaper than glass.. always ppl selling ml1-10 for 10p

TOA ML's and Items are nerfed now ML's/Artis/Scrolls/MLxp can be bought with BP's and they tradeable + Atlantean glass farmed in TOA area.

Easy to do and easy to obtain so ML'ing characters ever sooooooo easy.

 

[megadave]

doesnt change the fact the game was better without all the toa items and abilities

and above all that most people don't use the majority of TOA items anymore, only the obvious jewelry ones weapons people just use dragon/ml10 weapons (dragon weapons are easily obtained and ml10 ones have gone down in price abit compared to what they were)

I have a feeling that after the patch the following spec might be popular for scouts. At least i am gonna try it:

(rr6 perspective)

LB 49
Thrust 34
shield 35
stealth 34

With 49 lb i miss only the last crit and cold shot. I think i can live with it. If you like playing your class a nerf/balance will not change things. You ll just have to adopt and change your tactics.

if we're honest, your spec isn't going to make any difference whatsoever as you'll be with 4 other scouts with as much fz and sideslams as possible.

Only thing this patch does is means I'm gonna be able to kill 2 scouts before getting zerged by his fg rather than just the 1 ;>

 

[Mithradir]

Hmm i never joined a stealth zerg and never will be. I have only duoed a few times with my brother's infi but mostly i solo.

killing xpers like the usual scouts and stuff then? cuz I've never met you in rvr

it wasn't a dig at you persé tho it was scoutkind!

tbh the changes won't make any difference whatsoever in soloing either - still have sidestun with a huge arc which is even easier for a scout as most people try and strafe thru shield anyways - if i were a scout right now i'd completely stop using slam in preperation for the patch

no offense taken

No i am not farming on xp spots. I always go where the action is or at central keeps. It always depends at how much time i can play before my future wife aggro me .
I tend to add though

PS: My scout nick is Drakoumel

wow mr hypocrit here,

tries and gets me to join their stealth zerg of 6 on ywain lol

 

[Ceixah]

well I'd like to say I mostly solo - but I'm almost always in a duo these days with Levi to counteract stealth zergs! but I'm happy to say you've not added on my shade as of yet


edit: also - if you ever venture to mid/brynja bridge you'll find me if you do /stat Ceixah and i'm ingame - thats were i'll be feel free to bring a duo to come attempt ^^

 

[Everz]

Whats this solo you speak of?

 

[Ceixah]

somebody said it once and it sounded good

 

[Everz]

I soloed with friends tbfh .

 

[Zoia]

The only thing missing now is for 2-handers to cut parry by 25%. Skalds would love that!

I'm almost tempted to consider to re-sub and perhaps play my zerker again...maybe.
Scouts will be angry now, feel gimped and zerg even more than before, so....maybe not.

[Dvaerg]

And then we can see a retarded Zerker Valkyn once again!

 

[Everz]

Zoia lives!

 

[Zoia]

Valkyn zerk isn't retarded, it's pure awesomeness!

Oh, i still keep an eye out on DAoC, Everz. Wasn't that long ago i cancelled.
Playing Rift atm, but the PvP gets boring fast. I mostly play it for PvE, with the occasional warfront, and that's ok.

 

[Everz]

Ah good to see an old name about . Still remember the times that fugly zerk p) made my chanter eat dirt .
